I got the ube soft serve upside down with Nutella filling and biscoff crumbles. It was amazing! I do wish there were some high-top tables inside. It was just a bit too cold to eat outside when the sun goes down so we ate inside the shop.

Taste 5/5 (love the red bean), Health 2/5, Location 5/5 (downtown Palo Alto retail), Interior 4/5 (fine, but no place to sit), Cleanliness 5/5, Overall Value 4/5 (actually prices are quite reasonable for the unique product and good location for a stroll). Please ? this review if helpful, or accurate. ?Thx!

I really enjoy this place! They have so many different flavors of taiyaki and you can even get one served with ice cream. The ice cream comes with a macaron, several toppings, as well as one teriyaki fish filled with the feeling of your choice. I would highly recommend checking the place out if you like Asian sweetsVegetarian options: No meatParking: Parking is somewhat limited

Ice cream was good and tasty. Portion too is great. The guy manning the counter was a bit rude. We were just standing around and he waved us to go out saying we block other customers when there were none!! There's a lot of empty space as well and hence the rudeness was unnecessary.

My daughter ordered a cookies n cream, topped with fruity pebbles and Oreo. She also added a Nutella filling in her waffle fish. Very happy with her tasty treat!

Soft serve and Taiyaki (fish shapped mochi waffles with sweet filling). If you haven't had them before, you should. If you have, these are American sized, but just as tasty as the ones in Japan.
This place’s ice cream does not disappoint, but the fact that they never have the milk flavor in stock is appalling, because if something is selling out, it means people like it, and restocking it leads to more people buying it and more money is made.The taiyakis, however, are very tasty, and I love to dip them in my ice cream. My other complaint is how messy the ice cream gets, and I have found many times that the amount of napkins I get is never enough because it always melts and covers my hands in ice cream. Otherwise, would recommend and I will keep coming here despite my complaints.

They put almost no Nutella filling in my taiyaki and when I took a spoonful of ice cream, there was a huge hole in the middle of it, been here three times and I might not go again for a while.

This was my first time at this location and my bf's first time getting somi somi but we were so disappointed! We ordered the ahboong to share and shocked to receive a hard taiyaki. I love how the taiyaki shell is usually crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside but this one was like a cracker. Not sure if this is just how the PA location makes it or they served us an overly old shell. It was about 45 min before closing when we went. The soft serve was still consistent and good. Hopefully this was just an off day!

Delicious, great options for soft serve and fillings for the fish waffle. Tiny scoop of filling perfect ration where it's not too sweet or stuffed. We also got an order of just the fish waffle with no fillings. It was so fresh warm and chewy delicious. Crunchy on the outside but mochi consistency inside. Loved it. All the extras come like sprinkles and numerous other topping options. Not only was it aesthetically appealing but delectable as well. Great quick service! Enjoyed the experience!
A delicious ice cream and innovative
