Super good ice cream, service was number one and the overall experience was very good. Take the time to look at them doing it, they are so good.
Great customer service, delicious dessert! Thanks!
Very unique ice cream freshly made to order.
The green tea and cookie selections are quite nice. The green tea is topped with marshmallow and macaroon. The cookie is a bit too sweet but overall is pretty nice. The prices are fairly expensive but they do put a bit of work to prepare the ice cream.

In Vancouver, ice creams shops are growing at an exponential rate with new techniques and flavors everyday. This one shop in particular caught my eye, IceQueen located in the Aberdeen Square second floor in Richmond. First in Vancouver, IceQueen sells fried ice cream which is icecream created on a cool stainless steel surface right before your eyes.
Although the winter season is upon is, there is no stopping to Vancouver’s ice cream craze. New to the dessert scene is Ice Queen, Metro Vancouver’s first and only fried ice cream shop. I had passed by their location during the summer while they were under construction and was excited to find out they had just opened last month. Their location is a bit hidden being in a corner on the second level of the newly opened Aberdeen Square in Richmond. Yesterday, I visited Ice Queen to try out their unique offerings.
Good taste. I ordered Matcha world. Macaron has been sold out so I chose oreo as topping instead.
They used to be in Aberdeen Square but they're now located on the 3rd floor of Aberdeen Center near Fisherman's Terrace (not in the food court). They have many flavours of rolled ice cream with different toppings like ube, strawberry cheesecake, mango coconut etc. They also serve coffee.
We tried the Matcha World ($14.95) which came with red bean, mochi balls, matcha pocky sticks, whipped cream and a macaron.
It was a little pricey but it's fun watching them roll it up and there aren't many other ice cream places around.
Instagram worthy type of dessert, taste pretty good but ahem... 16$ not including tips for the Matcha bowl. I can get more than 3 buckets of ice cream. 😆
It’s yummy. Very nice staffs. You can watch them hand making it from the counter.
As they hand make it, allocate some time and give patience. It’s worth the wait.
THEY MOVED: Now across Artbox, 3rd floor in Aberdeen Center (not Square).
Still expensive but a happy treat for kids.
+++++
I really liked the Camp Fire. But definitely these overpriced ice cream is so big that they should be intended for sharing.
I would go back but only once in a while.
The ice cream desserts here are very delicious, and there are many colourful different choices to make. While tasting good, these desserts are on the pricier side ($~15).
Maybe all the positive reviews raised my expectations a little too much. I didn't find the Thai tea ice cream especially rich or extraordinary in terms of flavour—having never tried Thai tea before, it tasted like a crossover between Earl Grey and milk tea. I liked how the ice cream wasn't excessively sweet though. The mochi was chewy and like tang yuan (glutinous rice balls) without the filling.
I found their whole premise a lot like the bygone froyo trend with the choose-your-own-toppings option. Ice Queen's worth a try, but not special enough to warrant a return.
my friends and i came from coquitlam to richmond to try the fried ice cream here and it definitely did not disappoint us. we will be back very soon for sure.
So many different flavours! Great customer service and great presentation of the ice cream rolls. A must go when going to Richmond. It's in Aberdeen mall 2nd floor. Turn left when exiting the escalator. Took us a while to find.
My first time eating fried icecream. It was tasty and was a great new thing to try. Just a warning for those who have loved ones with an egg allergy, as they have eggs in the fried icecream.
