Taiyaki NYC - Williamsburg

Nice little spot for ice cream on a hot day. This place does get busy so expect a wait. The ice cream was definitely good but on par with a lot of options in the area. The taiyaki is really good and what sets it apart but the ice cream itself is good. Looking forward to trying other options.

How can you NOT love combining refreshing soft serve with fluffy hot Taiyaki? As a photographer, you also can't beat how Instagram friendly it looks, so cute! Only complaint that I don't really know how to fix is how VERY VERY quick your soft serve will melt against the hot and fresh Taiyaki. I liked that being hot so you just have to EAT QUICK! The matcha milk drink was also great, though don't sip before shaking it up like I did - SO BITER I thought I hated it. It does look pretty but much better once shaken up with the milk :

Soft serve ice cream with your choice of toppings on a fish-shaped taiyaki. I wouldn't say that this is something that wowed me but I really like the concept of it. Place is small and has a minimalistic feel to it, no where to actually sit and enjoy your dessert unless you prefer to stand by the counter. The ice cream will melt pretty fast so I advise that you have napkins with you or eat the ice cream before it melts all over your hands. Staff was polite and gave no issues at all. Overall, I don't think this is something I would be overly excited about but I do highly recommend this place to anyone that likes ice cream and taiyaki.

This is the first time that we have tried taiyaki ice cream. I had matcha hajicha flavor in the pic shows, my boy had chocolate, and my hubby had matcha. Three flavors of ice creams that we had were delicious. Fish shape taiyaki under the ice cream was warm and it had red bean paste filled in. They all just taste so good and yummy. Ice creams are not so sweet, taiyakis are kinda crispy, red bean paste is kinda sweet for me, because I eat pretty light every day. Overall, we all like it and definitely come back for taiyaki ice creams again.

I wouldn't call them one of the best ice cream in nyc. Perhaps the reason is nyc has so many ice cream places are better. The concept is cute, fish shaped cone, filling is very littlered beans or custard, ice cream itself is okay, I had Christmas special, which is matcha flavor with peppermint sprinkles. It's decent but not outstanding. Worthy of trying, but nothing to craving for.

Place was small but in a good area. I was invited by my sister to go here with my kids. When I first hear “let’s go get fish ice cream”, I was like nope. I was not aware of how this was made or done. First time coming here, it was pricey but worth it. My kids couldn’t finish their ice but it was to much for them but they enjoyed it. I enjoyed trying about 4 differently flavors. I live in GA so I love trying new things and this place was it and I would definitely going back before I go back to GA. I recommend for anyone that lives here, visits, or just passing through. Clean and amazing.

I’ve had ice cream at Taiyaki before and it’s always nice to get a beautifully decorated ice cream Hopefully the Matcha will come back but the other flavors are just as good!

I had the choco-lit dessert and it was good, nothing too special. However, my friend had another one of their other flavors and she thought it was grainy compared to other times she had tried it. When we went back to exchange it out, the employees did so for us.

How am I just finding this place now . Those cute ice-cream cones!!! Quick service and friendly staff. Got #5 Beach please, strawberry & mango ice-cream with coconut flakes. The second one was build your own. Got Taiyaki red bean cone matcha ice-cream, caramel syrup, rainbow sprinkles & rainbow mochi. Not a fan of matcha ice-cream. But that #5 was just delicious . Go give it a visit. It's worth it!!

I never thought I would love ice cream so much! And all I had was the chocolate flavor! It really hit the spot! Wish I had one closer to home. Oh, and did you know they have unicorn inflatable koozies?! I bought one of those, too!
