REVIEWS OF Taiyaki NYC - Williamsburg IN New York

Johnathan Duong

The ice cream there is amazing. My favorite is the Unicorn Taiyaki but probably the best is the staff who are just amazing and super fast with the orders.

Eliud Trevino

Delicious

Dalia Green

Delicious and creative. Almost broke my teeth on the unicorn ears and horn though so be careful!! Very hard. I love that theres no ridiculous line like the one in China town. My new addiction. Drove here all the way from Coney Island just for the ice cream --thats 1.5 hrs roundtrip.

Amelia Ti

Best soft serve in all of NYC!

Jonathan Chan

Gary Hwang

Ice Cream was good but Souffle pancake tasted just like a normal pancake including the texture.

Nai-Hua Chen

This place has many choices for taiyaki and it tastes great, not overly sweet. The look is also very cute, as a dessert it's great, just a little bit pricy.

Yummy! A bit $$$, but delicious. Expect lots of Instagrammers.

star dionne

I don't care for the eggy smell of the unicorn corn so I opted for a regular waffle cone. I chose the vanilla chocolate swirl. It was yummy. One can't go wrong with the green tea. The frozen yogurt comes with chose of toppings. They also sell ice matcha drinks

Zach

Great place to get a sweet treat amongst a community full of snobby rich people.

Jimmy Chen

I love the Straight out of Japan! The authentic matcha and black sesame flavors made me feel like I was back home in Tokyo! The staff was also very accomodating! Love this place!

Ronit Ben-Sheffer

We waited 30 min to get the ice cream

Lisa Tran

Everytime I visit NY, I always plan to visit Taiyaki. Why? Because I know I'm going to get something for tasty, that they always something new to try, and that I'm going to leave there satisfied. This was my first time visiting the Williamsburg location and I was blown away by the efficiency of service and the Taiyaki itself! The fish is crisp, and I got my order within 5 minutes of ordering. The staff was kind from the moment I stepped into the door, and patient as I asked them about the new flavor combos. The place itself is bigger than the Chinatown location, and there seems to be less of a wait. If you're in New York, I would give Taiyaki a try ... It is the first Taiyaki in the US!

Ally Zhang

Cutest and creamiest ice cream ever! The drink was also amazing, refreshing and sweet! Definitely visiting again soon

This ice cream place is a must-do in Williamsburg! This was yummy! I love the suggested flavors! The base tastes like a waffle!!

Fun, little shop. Ice cream is great and the quality is good, with a special bit of Japanese culture built into the store and products.

Awesome

Amy Zhu

I didn’t believe the hype until I tried it! I tried the “straight out of japan” which is the black sesame and matcha swirl. But flavors are super rich and creamy, and complement each other very well. My friend got the unicorn taiyaki. I liked how it was not too sweet, slightly tarty, and still so creamy! The fish cone is also delicious. The pastry and ice cream come together in one yummy bite! And of course, the cones are so pretty, don’t forget to take a lot of pics :) I know there’s a location in Manhattan but I’ve only been to this one in Brooklyn. The store is super clean and cute and everyone’s so friendly. Will definitely come back

Okay

SSSCHWEEEEEET ICE CREAM!!! It's seriously good. The warm waffle is soft and excellent too

Dee Williams

I saw this place on instagram and it looked so good. I ordered the cone with matcha and roasted matcha ice creams. It was gross. I also ordered a matcha iced latte. I threw the entire thing away. Wasn’t worth the hype.

Candy Joe

They let you taste samples of icecream before you choose the flavor you want on your cone. The cones are delicious.

Mytien Le

One of my favorite places to go. Yummy creamy soft served ice cream w a delish taiyaki. Can't go wrong with that. It's a bit pricey but definitely IG worthy.

Alana Cheung

Was initially skeptical about the hype but taiyaki is so worth it! Delicious soft swerve - flavorful and creamy. My favorite is the matcha flavor. You need to stop by if you haven’t!

So good!

Marvin Sukhhiran

I travel 1.5 hours a day to come here and eat the delicious taiyaki ice cream. I stopped eating other foods and now live off of this for my daily nutritional intake. I became taiyakitarian and don't eat meat or vegetables anymore

John Tao

What a great dessert combo! First Taiyaki is already perfect alone (Custard or nothing).Then pair of with green tea ice cream or roasted green tea ice cream, it makes it a perfect dessert. The Taiyaki is cooked to a perfect crunch, the custard was delicious but needed to be slightly more. I personally don’t even need toppings or sauce, just a Taiyaki and ice cream is all anyone needs.

Kelvin Loke

This is more like 3.5 stars. I’ve gone multiple times to this location and each time I have a different experience. To start, the ice cream is adorable and fun, but the flavor so-so. I prefer to go in and just get the cone and sometimes they make it from scratch, other times it comes from a warmer and is hard. Either way it’s a great small snack! Staff is always friendly. FYI: No cash accepted.

Randolph Chen

I have come here on multiple occasions and they never seem to disappoint! From the black sesame taiyaki ice cream to the taro or matcha lattes, everything tastes legit and just like something straight from Japan. Staff are always smiling & very friendly, and the interior design is clean & easy on the eye. Highly recommended to anyone who loves ice cream or wants to try something unique! Location is a plus as there are many restaurants and bars around.

mayra sanchez

Ice cream in fish cone appealed to the eyes and palette.

Bridget Coolick

Lots of love in a cone! The ice cream is a perfect flavor and consistency. The cone and toppings are pretty and delightful! The cone is very tasty too...it eats like a waffle with a little custard at the bottom. Very nice staff too. Highly recommend!

Maxim Tennis

Get one, take a pic and probably never come back again. Mediocre taste.

Tom Yang

Amazing staff and dessert!! Must try!!

Mod Mod

8 dollar für ein softeis? Gut, die Waffel ist originell / traditionell, aber ist es den Mehrpreis wert? Meines Erachtens ist es ihn nicht wert, aber die meisten kaufen das zeug auch nur auf instergram damit anzugeben. Das Softeis selbst ist 08/15, die toppings überall erhältlich. Die fischwaffel schmeckt zwar gut, ist aber unpraktisch. Man kann sie ohne Eis für 3 dollar kaufen, dann ist sie warm, was sicher einen versuch wert ist. Insgesamt ist das eis sehr instabil, wir haben es im Winter gegessen und es war tricky, aber im sommer verliert man den Wettlauf mit der zeit wahrscheinlich. Dadurch das der Fisch recht schmal und kurz im vergleich zu einer normalen waffel ist wird es für kinder schwer das ding zu handeln. Ob es da eine Statistik gibt wieviel Prozent eis runterfallen? Die dunkelziffer ist bestimmt hoch. Für 8 dollar gibt es bessers.

Great tasting japanese ice cream!! Get the straight out of japan!!

Sandy Yang

Seemed a little fishy to me how something can look so good and taste even better. I'd swipe right on this fish. If you have expert taste, you'll love the straight outta japan! Taiyaki is always very generous with their serving size. Staff always has a smile and ice cream comes out super quickly.

Sean Yoshizawa

Great desserts, even greater staff :)

Angela Quinde

Sean Chee

Lots of people have raving reviews about the delicious ice cream + fish shaped dessert, but I want to point out that I think the staff does an excellent job in dealing with customers as well! I dropped my ice cream there right when I was walking out the other day and they were more than happy to give another one to me complimentary. Love this spot, would go back again!

Grace Hung

The fish cone looks good but the taste is so-so. The Matcha ice cream tastes ok but the tea flavour is not strong. I like the rice puffs. Portion of ice cream is huge.

Sara Kamal

The pancakes are so fluffy and delicious. The ice cream is good too, just melts so fast and gets messy :(

Fabian J

Come here for the soft serve. The matcha latte is loaded with sugar unfortunately.

Eric Ngai

Awesome store. Great staff and even better ice cream. Definitely worth checking out.

Brandon Stone

Delicious and different

Z. Cai

It's an interesting idea and execution and the Taiyaki itself was quite good. We didn't get the cone but I imagine it might get a bit soggy. It took a while to make each Taiyaki, which was to be expected. There's a lot of care that seems to go into the process. Prices were reasonable as well. Hope they can stay open as business seemed a bit light.

Crystal Mora

A tad small store, but these adorable (and delicious) ice creams are made for flaunting! Super nice looking and clean store. Super friendly (and fast!) staff. Delicious ice cream! There are so many options!!! Sometimes it’s just easier getting one of the ones one the menu. But with options like unicorn (which is what I had that was gram worthy pretty and I can’t wait to go again delish) you cannot go wrong!!!

Alice Zhu

So glad Taiyaki opened up in Williamsburg! Amazing ice cream and even better service!

johnny neria

We order the Unicorn Special, a vanilla strawberry twist with a golden horn and a pair of golden ears that are edible marshmallow on a crispy fish stuffed with red bean and sprinkles. That was delicious. My son ordered Straight out of Japan a mix of Match green tea and Black sesame ice cream on a stuffed crispy fishy. That was very good too. We also ordered a Unicorn Float that taste like UBE shake. That was yummy made me feel like I was back home in the Philippines. The staff was great and would recommend you all to take your family and loved ones to try this unique and delicious ice cream hot spot.

Ronan

‘Artistic’ appeal and not much else.

Matt P

Total disaster this morning with 6 people standing in the kitchen and nothing working. Waited for 35 mins and no one received any food except for 2 orders of undercooked pancakes that had to be sent back...

Joohee Choi

Kevin T

After ordering the matcha ice cream in a cup, I was surprised at how much I actually got since I normally don't eat that much ice cream. I don't think the oreo sprinkles went well with the matcha, but the matcha itself was good.

Carlice Brown

Great food and service, pretty unique among all the dessert places you'll find

Terry Chen

Had a great experience at Taiyaki NYC! I was being taken care of by a very friendly and welcoming employee named Thomas. He was patient when answering all my questions since this was my first time coming. I got the red bean taiyaki with black sesame ice cream. This is one of the best sesame soft serves I've had in NY! The flavor was not too strong, perfect for my liking, and the taiyaki was warm and soft in the inside, yet toasty on the outside! I would definitely come again!

Cans Pictures

Worth it.

Emily Cheung

Always have a great experience with Taiyaki NYC no matter which location it is, Chinatown or Williamsburg! Staff is always friendly and the quality of ice cream never disappoints. My absolute favorite at the Williamsburg location is the Matcha ice cream on top of a perfectly cooked fish shaped waffle cone. The ice cream is rich in flavor and perfectly creamy but not too heavy. They have a variety of drizzles and toppings to chose from as well. The dessert is really filling so you get every penny's worth! I personally dislike to share because I'm greedy and want to eat the whole thing by myself. But overall, really satisfying experience and will highly recommend to anyone around the area!

Got there early in time to get the pancakes which were delicious. I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype but it did. Pancake has a super super soft and had a marshmallow type of feel to it inside. The ice cream is great too although I didn’t get any on this outing. No place is perfect. 4 out of 5 stars is the highest I go.

Delicious soft serve ice cream in a fish shaped Japanese waffle. A great unique experience or your next Instagram worthy photo. Ice cream lovers beware...I believe they don't take cash.

Accueil très sympathique ! Jolie petite glace très Instagramble . Je dirais "Jolie a mangé" .

These stars for pancakes only... Ehhh..... Its not a restaurant... Only ice cream and pancakes stand up take out. The pancakes are hyped up. Full of air and dough. Very eggy. Not really tasty or pancake texture. Ive tasted better in restaurants. Also the matcha on the cakes aren't a good duo. The music is also too loud. The tea is ehhh not that crazy.

Amaya Booker

Josephine Rivas

Fast service awesome

Angie Rodriguez

Zara Vasquez-Evens

So much hype, lots of disappointment. Perhaps it is a personal preference on what I think an ice cream cone should be, but I found the fish-shaped, custard filled cone (which is super cute) to kind of ruin the ice cream. Ice cream: delicious — really creamy and yummy, great toppings. Cone was served warm, which turned the ice cream into liquid on the sidewalk in mere minutes. This, plus the custard made for a tastes-a-bit-like-runny-scrambled-eggs-topped-with-ice-cream situation. Waffle cones forever.

Joyful Day

finally- nothing perfect

Is a great place

Very good ice cream the cone is shaped like a fish and big variety of toppings. Build your own or show from list. Very nice friendly staff. You need to see it to believe it.i

Amazing iced macha latte. Hit me by surprise when i was making a delivery to that place. What a gem little place that is. Gonna try your over cream next time. Thanx. Спасибо!

Nahida Ahad

Loved the matcha ice cream!

Emily Feng

After I heard about their new Hojicha flavor, I just had to go try. My friends and I trekked for an hour to Williamsburg, only to find out in the store that the flavor doesn't come out til tomorrow (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) Luckily, the guys at the counter came in clutch and let us buy it today

Joseph Pisicchio

I tried Taiyaki in WillAmsberg and it was a mind blowing experience. From the concept of the ice cream which is genius and the fact that they were the most instagrammed restaurant in the usa it was insane! The Ice cream, The cone, The PR gotta love the Genius!!!!! Kudos!!!

Sylvester Zareba

Those ice-creams and the waffle are amazing!!!

Ewelina Alvarado

Just got my unicorn ice cream in the newly opened ice cream shop. Very friendly and pleasant staff and unbelievably delicious ice cream.

The staff are super nice and always serve their delicious ice cream with a smile. I would highly recommend this place because there are many different flavors to choose from and each of them are very tasty. When I come back to NYC, I will make sure to visit again! :)

Mallika Dargan

Good ice cream except it melts in .5 seconds

Joan Nguy

Love it there, and the cashier Raymond was so charming! I love their straight out of Japan!

Meliane Diedro

Really good, I got the red bean cone with strawberry-mango ice cream and it was delicious, I love it!!!

Eric Wong

One of my favorite ice cream shops in New York and now even closer to my apartment. WIN! My go to is the matcha/black sesame!! Too good!

Lukasz Skoczek

Tasty and creative ice cream. Good service. Wish the place was a bit bigger with a few more seats.

Lucia FN

Delicious Japanese ice cream! The cone was still warm when I got my ice cream, so perfect!

גיא גורדון

Trendy icecream Good for instagram photos (; Tastes ok and the price is a bit high Its nice anyway

Jewell Love

LOVED this place! The strawberry mango flavor was sooooo delicious. I've never had a cone like they made, but it was just as good. It had the consistency of a waffle/cake and it wasn't too rich at all. At the very end of the cone they put some sweet mashed red beans. Very different and tasty. Will definitely be coming back!

Trami Dang

Visited at its grand opening weekend. Like the Chinatown location, it's the definite instagrammable treat for soft-serve. Service was quick and staff are polite. During my visit, there were no seats or benches, just the standing table-counter along the wall. It may have changed since then.

Kalina Nhieu

10/10 Staff, 11/10 Ice Cream, 10/10 Matcha Drinks!! What more can you ask for?! Can't wait to go back to try the cold brew flavor :^)

Madeline Seto

I’ve had taiyaki NYC before at the Chinatown location, but the taiyaki I had at this one was ... not good. The taiyaki were made in advance so they weren’t warm and soft, and they were cold and hard. I think the taiyaki were overcooked as well - they had a harder crust around it. The ice cream was fine. But if it’s called ‘TAIYAKI NYC’ I expect the taiyaki to be better (especially because I know how good it can be from their other location). I don’t know if maybe I came at an off time but the taiyaki should be made fresh to order, not sitting around.

Albert Bae

The warm fish with the new coffee ice cream is literally my favorite ice cream desert of all time. Thank you taiyaki. I’m a fan

Lena Yang

Always hits the spot when I’m craving dessert. Had an omakase with a couple of friends at Zenkichi and wanted to end the night with some strong sesame soft serve. Usually not a fan of sesame, but I love it at Taiyaki! We stopped by around 10pm on a Friday night and were surprised to see that it was busy. Friendly staff!! Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Nicole Wang

The ice cream is super yummy and looks really cute. I would highly recommend their unicorn one because it tastes delicious and the decorations are very cute. If I visit New York again, I would come back for more!

Maoly Fernandez

Our first time here and the shop met our expectations! The red bean filling was a great touch in addition to the multi flavored ice cream! ++

Calvin M

Not only is the ice cream beautiful... it taste amazing!

Caleb Wilson

Worth every penny for a unique dessert. Menu is has a great selection. Price is reasonable. Taste so good. Highly recommend.

Jo Morales

Love it

Audrey Lim

Ice cream is really good ! Super creamy and light and not too sweet

Bayti

Quick service but can be a bit pricey at $8 each. I ordered the matcha and hojicha ice cream. What they served me was just the matcha. I ask the man who took my order and told me that they ran out. Why didn't he tell me when I placed the order? It didn't matter? Maybe it did but he should have told me of something I ordered is not available. The ice cream is different from the Manhattan location as it didn't melt immediately. The ice cream from the Manhattan location seems to be "softer" meaning that it melt almost immediately after handing to me that I couldn't get a picture or two. The matcha flavor has the right bitterness and sweetness. For a sweet tooth person, matcha might on the bitter side but they have other flavors to try and a tons of toppings/sauces. I felt their taiyaki was a bit dry and flavorless but luckily I had ice cream to eat it with. Would I get it again? Probably not because of the price and overall taste.

Yat Sang Yan

The souffle pancake is delicious as always

Mohammad Mahdian

Yay! My favourite soft serve ice cream place has a location in Williamsburg!

Andre Asmara

They finally opening business in my favorite neighborhood. Still serve the same awesome sweet treats.

katrinka del salto

If you’re looking for something sweet and different, this is the place! Such unique flavors and not gonna lie it fills you up. So it’s best if you go on an empty stomach to enjoy all of the dessert! My personal favorite by the way is the matcha black sesame all the way. The bittersweet of the matcha with the nuttiness of the black sesame, definitely a combination worth dying for.

Olga Weiss

Stopped by for their BOGO grand opening weekend! Their service is actually faster than the Chinatown location, quick and more spacious. My ice cream melted too fast for a decent pic tho since it was a hot day so it didn't make the cut for the gram unfortunately. Nice that they have a new location in an area that is starting to get more foot traffic in food and new shops.

They gave me a hard time about doing a fish cone without filling, even after me being a regular customer and know it's do-able in about 8mins. Cashier told me she would make a new batch without filling had me wait 10mins and still gave me a batch with red bean filling. Disappointed after ordering 6 icecream and cashier got 4/6 of my order wrong . Waste of money

7.13.18 - good times. 2 for 1 grand opening. Second NYC location. Staffed up, moving fast. Cash and credit. Small spot, but efficient. Great for after oyster happy hour at Maison Premiere (next door) Better than the Baxter street location.

Delicious specialty dessert you can't get anywhere else (except for their other locations!) Beautifully crafted and insta-worthy cones. We tried the unicorn and green tea specials and were both delicious. Staff was kind and service was quick as well. Would definitely recommend!
