We got #3 matcha ice cream and #6 unicorn ice cream. It was fluffy, creamy and tasted really good. There were red bean filling inside the warmly toasted taiyaki cones. We enjoyed our desserts on a nice day out. Would come back again!

Loved what we got here! The fish-shaped waffle cones filled with soft serve were a huge hit with our family — fun, delicious, and totally Instagram-worthy. The only downside is the space itself, it's incredibly small, with bench seating for only a few people. With our family of six, most of us ended up standing while we ate, which wasn't ideal but didn't ruin the experience. Would go back, just be prepared that this is a grab-and-go spot rather than a sit-down treat if you've got a bigger group.

The taiyaki cone was good and nicely presented. However, the ice cream was too rich and greasy for my taste, and both the matcha and ube flavors were very subtle. I was expecting a much stronger flavor profile. On the positive side, the service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was an okay experience, but the ice cream itself was a bit disappointing.

Ice cream was really yummy! The taiyaki cone was crispy and warm and the red bean filling was super delicious. They stacked a lot of ice cream on there, so we had to fight against the heat and eat fast before it melted, especially since it was in a warm cone. Was pretty pricy though, about $10 per cone. I got the Matcha Better, with matcha ice cream, strawberry drizzle, red bean paste cone and a mochi stick.
