Ben MackeyAugust 26, 2018Maybe the most Instagramable soft serve in NYC. Expect lines and lots of people taking photos of their ice creams.
TaniaOctober 17, 2022We waited for 1 hour to get pancakes. Ice cream is ok, pancakes nothing special to spend time in line and later 1 hour… but the pics are def cute)
Ernesto GutierrezJuly 22, 2017Ice cream wins all the points in the presentation department but lacks any real substance. The cone fish pastry is too soft a dough, feels like moist bread.
J WJune 15, 2018If you want ice cream this place is amazing, but as taiyaki it's a bit disappointing.
MarkNovember 4, 2016It's pretty, but ultimately the ice cream doesn't quite hold up and the entire affair ends up soggy.
- Lee SimpsonMay 6, 2017Personally, I don't think it's worth the wait. It's cool and it tastes good, but it's hardly mind blowing.
CatKoNovember 11, 2016👎🏼 cafe zaiya & mitsua much better. Grainy soft serve. Fishies dry and not chewy. Total fail- CrisyFrankMarch 15, 2018Esta muy rico y su presentación lo hace el helado perfecto para instagram. El lugar es pequeño y se llena muy rapido así que mejor pidan su helado y salgan a comérselo mientras recorren Chinatown.

"This cold creamy deliciousness is worth every penny. There is so much to choose from with some flavor combos you don't see too often. Assortment of toppings and sauces to drizzle on your selection"
