So delicious! The lady behind the counter was so kind to me. I ordered just one taiyaki, but she snuck another dessert in the bag! I am truly grateful!
Love the cream (custard) and tai-myaki (red bean) here. They make a great snack, take one enjoy it on your stroll along the water out back. They seem to be still cash only and the staff is friendly. They are only set up to make so many at a time, so you may have to wait a little bit if they are in the process of making a new batch.
Came on 7.28.20 during covid times. Eat outside in our car was our safest place without being judged with our goodies in tow.bought 1 pastry with the white creme inside. It's cute with its zodiac symbols on both sides of the pastry. Tastes good!
I visited this restaurant today for the first time. I am Japanese, and this is the same Oobanyaki and Taiyaki that I have eaten in Japan for a long time. The Japanese female staff was wonderful! My kids wanted to eat it, but the store was already about to close the order. She sold them to me without a bad look. Very good service! Thank you(*^^*)
Good amount of red bean paste stuffed in and you get 5 for 7 bucks (buy 4 get 1 free). We actually wanted the cream filled pastry which they said would take 40 minutes to make. That was what I was hoping for, but pressed on time, we weren't going to wait. Their baked goodies are great when they are just baked and eat it while it's still hot. Keep a bit of the styro container open so it doesn't become soggy when your ready to get the next one.
I really don’t get the negative and very critical reviews. Please name a better place in a 30 mile radius to get taiyaki because I’m not aware of any, not even industry city in Brooklyn! Staff is always friendly, everything is fresh (that’s why you might have to factor in a wait time), it’s really tasty and reasonably priced. I can highly recommend the taiyaki with red bean paste - I’m always craving for them. So give it a try and judge for yourself! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
The custard filling one is better than the red bean one. The red bean one is too sweet.
I viaited on May 6 at 12:30pm, I was told to wait 5-10 minutes, I waited exact 26 minutes to pick up 5 pack oban-yaki, I was the only customer & I saw plenty of oban-yaki ready but she was just too busy talking with her friend who visited at the cash register
I don't know why but the outside was overly thick, and a bit mushy. It did have cute different zodiac signs, but it wasn't anything like what I've had at other places... Other places are light and fluffy inside with slight crisp outside....Also, their custard was so thick and goopy, the consistency wasn't the normal smooth silky consistency I am used to. Fillings are not too sweet, which is how I like it, but it was oddly bland (maybe not enough salt or just not enough flavors all around). The chocolate custard was even more goopy and it didn't taste like chocolate. It was closer to bean mush(?) with a hint of chocolate. It was quite interesting... I don't know if they had an off day or it's always like this...
Came here yesterday and was excited to have the custard filled desserts. I ordered the buy 5 get 1 free and she told me it would take 10 min. I said that's fine and wandered the marketplace while I waited. She called my number, I got my order, and drove home. When I opened the box I was a little surprised since I saw taiyaki (the fish shaped bread) while I was sure the custard ones were supposed to be circle shaped. Of course when I bit into it it was filled with red bean. I am not a fan of red bean so it was a major disappointment to now have 6 red bean taiyaki that I waited 10 min for (and I live over an hour away so I'm not going to return to complain). Next time I will have to make sure before I leave the stall or watch as they make it.
