An ice making unit which allows quick separation of ice blocks from ice making plates to improve ice making performance and which is compact in size. An ice making section (10) is provided with a vertically arranged pair of ice making plates (14, 14) and also with evaporating tubes (16) arranged between the opposed rear faces of both the ice making plates (14, 14). On the surface of each ice making plate (14) are formed vertically extending ridges (18) arranged at predetermined intervals in the lateral direction, and the ridges (18) form ice making regions (20) separated from each other in the lateral direction. The ice making plates (14), which face the ice making regions (20), each have vertically continuously arranged multi-stepped slope sections (22) each extending obliquely downward so as to be away from the rear side to the front side as the slope section extends downward. Each evaporating tube (16) is mounted such that a lateral extending section (16a) of the evaporating tube (16) makes contact with substantially the middle in the vertical direction of the rear side of each slope section (22).
