"The taiyaki ice cream here is absolutely delicious; super fresh and always so yummy! The takoyaki and musubi are also some of my faves. I would have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the staff being inattentive, plus the long wait for such a small order. Other than the cons, this place is pretty great!"

"I really loved this place, I got the matcha upside down ice cream with Oreo topping and a fortune cookie. I came here randomly because I was having a bad day, the atmosphere of it being calm and the quietness was what I needed at the moment. The staff is friendly especially when I ask what they recommend. Great place."

"Stopped by here for a quick snack and drink before doing some shopping next door. It was pretty full, especially as they had some vendors set-up in the store, so that took up extra room. They have a menu consisting mostly of teas, taiyaki in either sweet or savory, and small meal items such as spam musubi, curry, fruit, takoyaki, etc... You order at the register and they have signs warning orders will take 15-30 mins which was accurate. They'll call your order as the food and drinks become available which wasn't all at the same time. Everything was good with the sweet taiyaki and takoyaki being the better items. Service did take time, but they were friendly. Will come back for the sweets."

"This was our second trip to this place, it is great! The first time we went the ice cream machines were broken so we decided to wait until our second visit to give it a fair try. This time we tried 6 different taiyaki and all of them were very good. The taiyaki are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The savory taiyaki had just the right amount of filling, thin and enough to taste but not enough to lose the flavor of the batter. The sweet ones are very good, we had one with Nutella and a second one with vanilla ice cream with cookie crumbs - delicious! We also tried the curry chicken bowl (very good) and the Takayaki. All of the food was tasty and the price seems good for what you get. If you plan to visit, make sure you have time to wait for your food. Everything is made from scratch when you order and, just like their signs say, it takes 15-30 minutes to get your food. All in all it was a nice place and the food was very good. I would recommend checking it out, and if you have kids, they will love the ice cream with a fish :)"

"Love this place. Super clean, the service is great, and it has a nice chill ambiance. Must try taiyaki, butterfly tea lemonade, spam musubi, chicken curry. The owners are very friendly. Support local businesses!"
