It’s taiyaki! Favorable. Got the colonel custard which is Japanese fish shaped waffle filled with custard cream. There are other fillings on the menu that is not traditionally Japanese.

Great fish waffle. Only issue was not getting my purchase to link to my points. Delicious, fast and friendly service.

So good!! I got the Ramen Fish, and left the shrimp out for me because i’m a vegetarian. Very kind and quick service, along with a delicious and warm lunch.

BeanFish is one of my favorite places in the ID. And here's why. I've always been a lover of Japanese street food, of which taiyaki is a staple. When I first moved to Seattle several years ago, I came across BeanFish's food truck in Westlake Park once, and I never saw it there again to my immense disappointment. When I heard they were opening a shop in the Uwajimaya food court, I was estatic. They have tons of unique and delicious flavors, including the flavors traditionally found in Japan. It's made to order, so it's always piping hot and fresh. If you haven't tried Taiyaki, it's like a waffle with filling, and it's delicious. I cannot recommend them enough!

Nice snack

Looks good but tasteless and unevenly heated. The fried chicken was especially bad. Parts of the chicken wasn’t even heated. Not enough sauce so it was very bland. Even the batter itself is bland.

Awesome awesome awesome! They gave us free honey chips when there was a small misunderstanding with my wife’s order, they gave us the original order and the remake for free! Awesome and very friendly

I was not planning to eat here, but I found myself hungrier than I expected while I was wandering through chinatown, and I am glad I stopped in here and purchased a fish shaped waffle filled with sweetened bean curd. It is one of the more traditionally Japanese options here, and I greatly enjoyed it not simply because of the reasonable price but because it reminded me greatly of my time wandering around Japan. That's sad, there are also a great variety of more Western kinds of options, and all of them are very filling and encased in such a flaky and crispy outer covering. Ask the gals at the front for recommendations, and they will not steer you in the wrong direction. It was an adorable and sumptuous delight, and it gave me the strength to walk about six or seven miles, all the way to Madrona Park and back to Capitol Hill. I cannot provide a stronger recommendation than that.

I bought the Princess Ichigo and Red Bean taiyaki on separate days, and they are delightful. The wait time is long but worth it for the fresh hot food.
Love the savory options, lots of filling and made fresh! I go whenever I'm in the area, and great service too.

Extremely disappointing experience. We had the maple syrup and ube filled taiyakis. They were USD$7 each which was quite expensive. The taiyakis were very cakey on the inside, and NOT CRISPY at all on the outside. Ube didn't taste like anything and I really wish we had beard papa instead!!

The waffle was fine, nothing to write home about. The main reason this is a 2 star review is that it took 30 min to get my order despite there being no line ahead of me at the register. I wish they had told me that is the expected wait time or if they were backed up on orders from people a few minutes earlier so I would have known. I won’t be back.

Taiyaki with mediocre fillings and the dough was not very authentic. I got the ube, and the dough was very pancake like, no chewyness and the ube is too sugary. I don’t recommend it for taste and value.

Great gimmick concept, but execution feels uninspired and like it hasn't been workshopped fully. Variants seem interesting on paper but the actual implementation is meh. For instance, a s'more variant with fortune cookie to add crunch sounds great but final outcome is not crunchy and just adds bland carbs to something already wrapped in a bland carb. Mac and cheese hotdog means hotdog (good!) surrounded by more carbs surrounded by more carbs (too much bread). Something more like the traditional bean paste but savory would have been better. Something like a canjun or Jamaican meat bean pie would be a perfect fit. Menu variants just seem kind of uninspired, like a first draft at the concept with no real workshopping.
