    Dole whip/vanilla swirl with Oreos.
    tami h.

    Went yesterday afternoon. So glad other folks had explained the location because it isn't obvious. Got there about 4:30 and saw an open sign with no employee inside the kiosk. Stood there for a moment confused. Noticed a be right back sign just as a super friendly young woman came over and asked if we'd like to order. She left her break to serve us. The flavors were limited to dole whip and vanilla - which is what we were hoping to order anyway - and when she rang us up it was $10.50 for three upside downs. I told her that can't be correct - they are $5.95 each - she pointed to a nearby sign and told us about the promotion. What a treat! The non dairy ice cream was delicious and refreshing in a hot day and the waffle fish was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Can't wait to return!

    Located outside Marshall's

    I saw on their Instagram Thursday that they were doing a buy one get one free, so I thought that was the perfect time to give Chibi Chibi a try! I had the pineapple and vanilla swirl with fruity pebbles and custard filled taiyaki. My mom had the chocolate and coffee swirl with graham cracker crumbs and custard filled taiyaki. They added Pocky! One taiyaki is usually $5.95. You can also get soft serve in a cup or filled taiyaki without soft serve. Okay, now I'm a big fan of Somi Somi, but Chibi Chibi was surprisingly pretty comparable! The soft serve flavors were tasty, though not as creamy in texture. Their taiyaki was crispy outside and chewy - perfect! Their topping choices were more limited than Somi, but they still hit the spot. The portion was slightly smaller, however. Overall, tasty and convenient location for me! I'd return and recommend if you're in the area.

    When is this spot ever open? I'm not sure how anyone is able to have any ice cream pictures because everytime I come it's closed. It's super hard to find parking too. Ugh!

    Location is interesting, no signage outside. It is in the walkway to Marshall's. There's other little shops right outside Marshall's (jewelry store, threading). We got the 5 piece taiyaki for $7.95. Be aware that you have to buy 2 or 5 pieces, not 3 not 4. The custard filling was overpowering with imitation vanilla so I recommend getting nutella. It's not the best taiyaki I've had but it will fulfill that craving.

    Very comparable to SomiSomi. I enjoyed the coffee soft serve, had a nice strong flavor. I thought the soft serve flavor was better than the competition, but the texture wasn't as smooth. I also liked that the Oreo wasn't too crushed, so I could actually taste it. The fish cone was about the same. Located inside the little entrance area to Marshall's. Their hours aren't great, wish they were open a little later.

    This place is located inside the Marshall's shopping center. There's plenty of parking outside, in the shopping plaza. Once you walk in, you'll see this place on the left. They are open certain days, from 1pm-8pm. Staff was kind, and service was pretty fast, especially since it wasn't busy when we got there. There are not a whole lot of options like Somi-Somi but definitely fun flavors, which reminds me of Hawaii. I ordered an ahh-bong (upside down) with dole whip, oreo topping, and custard filling for my taiyaki. It was delicious, but definitely too much dole whip for one person lol. Because we love taiyakis, I also ordered 5 taiyakis, with custard, cheese, and pepperoni filling. Soooo good!! Will definitely come back here to get taiyakis!

    My favorite vanilla soft serve with sprinkles and ah boong!
    Jane L.

    Yum. I liked coming here before just for the dole whip but luckily now there's a place close to me to get taiyaki. The menu is simple but it works. While their soft serve is good, I seriously loved the ah boong. Their batter and technique is great. You get a nice golden exterior and an interior with just enough chew. Put together, you have the perfect treat for summer or any time you want ice cream. It's unfortunate they're open limited days because inevitably the kids or myself want one but have to wait until later in the week when they open (Thurs-Sun). Looking forward to trying out the savory ah boong offerings!

    A new ice cream taiyaki place in Pocket? Finally! It's located in a small stall right in front of Marshall's in Lake Crest Village and they have a variety of taiyaki fillings such as custard and Nutella if I remember correctly along with different types of soft serves(dole whip, dole whip with vanilla, etc.). Though I wish there was a greater variety of choices, overall the experience was really enjoyable and I would come back. I got the ah boong with custard with dole whip vanilla ice cream topped with fruity pebbles and thought that the dole whip overpowered the vanilla but overall was pretty good! Four stars for value just because I think pricing is average($6) compared to most other taiyaki ice cream locations.

    Located inside the Marshall's Florin entrance. Stopped by on Saturday, April 17th. They were working hard to practice making the taiyaki (fish waffle cakes) trying to promote their new business. Staff are professional and very friendly. They were giving away samples. The taiyaki was tasty. Warm (freshly made) and with a light crispy outside. Custard filling and their flavored soft-serve ice cream was the best! The flavors are super tasty. Pretty presentation! I can't wait to go back! The employees said they will be open on regular house soon. Currently they are hiring to fill new positions. She said they are open on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Looking forward to their grand opening!

    Vanilla/Dole Whip + Fruity Pebbles. Taiyaki has Nutella inside. So good!

    Been wanting to try this place each time I end up at Marshalls and finally tried them yesterday. The girl who was working was very nice, helpful, and quick! When I went to somi somi before I was super disappointed in the quality (super messy and already melting when handed to me), but ChibiChibi was spot on. It looked amazing and soft serve was perfect consistency and taste was great! I got the vanilla & dole whip with fruity pebbles plus the taiyaki filled with Nutella on top. What I appreciate most is the soft serve is all dairy-free! Yay! It was perfectly sweet and the taiyaki was crunchy and chewy. Total was only $6. It was such a nice treat to have since it was pretty hot out! Will def get this again!

    Anisa J.

    Delicious! The best soft serve I have had in recent memory. I got the chocolate and coffee and it was rich, flavorful, and creamy. I also got the ah-boong with Nutella and it was yummy. Just enough Nutella but not too much. I will definitely be back!

    After a trip to the Nugget grocery store in South Sacramento, this is the perfect place to stop by. Before you go crazy in Marshalls. Besides some frozen yogurt, this is one of my favorite spots. I love softserve ice cream and they have the best selection. Although this street is a little bit different than most. Ice cream treats. It is delicious. There are different fillings that you can add to your ice cream. Plus they have other treats as well. I urge you to stop by.

I was right next to them sitting at a table with my brother so of course I heard, and I got up and I said what's up with this grandma stuff, and he said that he answered her question and told her that he thought I was her grandmother. Honestly, I felt completely insulted like you're not supposed to say things like that to your customers or even about your customers. I felt myself getting ready to go completely off on him, so I walked away and went to sit back down. He had the audacity to tell my niece some people can't handle the truth. It's so baffling to me that a manager would say something like that. I know employees sometimes say inappropriate things, but he should know better!! This was supposed to be a nice family outing and he ruined my night. Luckily I have confidence in myself and his comment didn't give me a complex or make me like I look old. It was also disappointing because I went in there specifically to get an eclair, which is normally a decent size. For some reason, it was the half of the size and the same price.

The Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper is equally strong. You get real strawberry flavor, think a PBJ on white bread in summer,a touch of honey sweetness, and the balsamic adds a nice depth without making it sour. The black pepper is subtle but noticeable--it gives the whole thing a little edge and keeps it from tasting one-dimensional. It's well balanced and genuinely interesting.
