    If you're totally lost from all of the options here are some suggestions by the business
    Gillian A.

    *Take special note on the business hours (Mon-Wed closed.....the many times when I had early-weekday urges to try this place but finding out that it's closed for the day.....) TL;DR: - Perfected taiyaki batter (light crispy exterior w/ satisfyingly chewy, almost mochi-like, interior) - Dole whip pretty much comparable to the one at Disneyland - Docked a star for the painfully-basic soft-serve ice cream flavor options overall (at the time that I visited, the matcha option was swapped with chocolate) ---------- I got the ahboong (fish-shaped waffle cone on top of soft-serve ice cream). Vanilla/dole whip swirl was my soft-serve ice cream choice and I had custard as the waffle filling (I actually don't really recommend this waffle/soft-serve flavor combo.....I already knew this ahead of time but I wanted to try the custard and the dole whip in one visit.....more about this in a bit). The taiyaki (the fish waffle) batter is pretty much perfected here. Light crispy exterior with a thick yet satisfyingly chewy, almost mochi-like, interior (ultimate ASMR experience). I really liked it a lot.....I might even consider the one here being better than the one at that *other* place that specializes in ahboong and also has a two-word-repeat business name. As for the custard, it's basic but gets the job done. Yes, I've had the dole whip at Disneyland, and, yes, the dole whip here is pretty comparable to the one at that theme park. I'm not the biggest fan of dole whip (it's a bit too tart for me.....if you're not in the know, dole whip is essentially soft-serve ice cream made with pineapple juice). I had the dole whip/vanilla swirl and I can't imagine how extra tart the full-blown dole whip here is. The dole whip's tartness doesn't go well with the taiyaki (ordering just soft-serve ice cream is an option here, but for ahboong-first-timers, I suggest pairing the fish with a soft-serve ice cream flavor that is more on the creamy-tasting side). Nonetheless, if you're missing on Disneyland's dole whip, your craving will be satisfied here. Overall pretty good ahboong. Stellar taiyaki. I docked a star because of the painfully-basic soft-serve ice cream flavor library (the matcha flavor option was swapped with chocolate at the time that I visited). Though, I suppose the basic variety of flavors is understood as the business stand is located right in front of the Marshalls entrance (I saw passerby confused with the whole ahboong concept).

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Coffee ahboong w/Oreo & Nutella ~$6

    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!

    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.

The place is actually located on the left side of the furniture store. The entrance itself says a lot.. grand, decorated, colorful, tall and huge. Walking in I was overwhelmed. Dulceria had everything! Rows and rows of candies, extra things hanging off shelves, fridges with queso and other perishables, sauces, dried goods, statues, piñatas hanging on the ceiling, so much stuff! It's a one-stop party supply. I walked around several times and each time I saw something new that I missed the first time around. There is TWO stories here, although you're not allowed to go all the way up the stairs. Prices are hit or miss. I got a really affordable piñata,but thought the box of tamarind candy was a bit pricey.
