LOVE the food and the atmosphere here. Great place to meet up with friends or family for a quick bite/drink.
I was happy to find this wonderful place. I ended up having a taiyaki soft-serve ice cream. I took one of the swirl options, of which I had the pistachio and yuzu white chocolate. For both the taiyaki waffle and cone filling, I believe I had ube. Ube is a purple yam that is often used in Filipino cuisine. The consistency is a bit starchy and has a vanilla-like flavor.
As far as sprinkles, I had matcha tea powder, and as a topping, I had an ube wafer. As for the interior...read full review
We had the Taiyaki Fish Waffle Ice Cream with black sesame ice cream and the ube custard filled fish waffle. You can choose your toppings and cookies on top. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful with a unique taste. The vibe was bright, friendly, and efficient. We will definitely come back to try more flavors!

Popular flavors like ube and Nutella are favorites among customers, and there are plenty of toppings such as rice crisps and sprinkles to customize treats.

Portions are generous, making it a good spot to share with friends or family. Kid-friendly options are also available. Many visitors enjoy the innovative flavors, including Thai tea, Pandan, and hojicha, and appreciate the cozy seating area that can accommodate large groups. The fresh taiyaki is always well-balanced, and the variety of toppings, including rice crisps and sprinkles, adds to the experience. The Ube flan float is a flavor explosion, and new flavors like Pandan and Ube change monthly, keeping the menu exciting. Overall, Rice Culture offers a cozy and delicious Asian-style dessert experience, though some find it a bit pricey.
