Consistent service and quality every time! They are so quick and the ice cream is so good! I've been here so many times for the past few years and every time they satisfy my sweet tooth. I'm just waiting for them to expand or have indoor seating.
We stumbled upon this little spot while walking around the Seaport and had to stop for some red bean mini taiyaki! We ordered the 9-piece box, and since they're made fresh to order, the wait was about 10 minutes. They were seriously SO cute and delicious! Definitely should've ordered the bigger box!
Taiyaki NYC has a location at Seaport Boston, and my husband and I stopped by for a cold treat when we were in the neighborhood a week or so ago. Taiyaki is a popular Japanese dessert - a fish-shaped cake filled with custard or ice cream. At Taiyaki NYC, you can order from their preset options or build your own taiyaki, cone, or cup. We shared their #1 - The Classic: vanilla ice cream, custard taiyaki cone, chocolate drizzle, crushed oreos, and a wafer stick. It was made quickly and tasted great. It's a great treat on a hot day - we did start eating it inside before finishing it outside, since it was such a warm day, but we enjoyed it a lot!
We were so excited to find out there's a Taiyaki in Seaport. The ice cream was really good, and of course the presentation is super cute! Employees were friendly and answered any questions we had, and there are benches outside if you prefer to eat outside.
This might be the best ice cream I've ever had. The ice cream itself is a solid soft-serve, but what really makes it happen is the fresh made waffle cones that look like fishes. They're actually soft and spongy, it literally tastes like you are having ice cream on a fresh made waffle. The toppings add flavor, but don't overpower the ice cream like at most places. The line gets long on weekends, but moves quickly. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it for on occasional treat. It's also in a really nice part of the Seaport.
The establishment was easy to find and walking distance from anywhere. I ordered the vegan mango strawberry on a sugar cone. The red bean paste fish cone, is made with dairy for anyone that has allergies. The service was fast and the staff were super friendly. And the ambiance was super cute. I definitely would come here again.
Very quick despite the line, loved the build your own option. My boyfriend opted for the classic but subbed vanilla for twist. I built my own with custard fish, twist ice cream, caramel sauce, and Oreo crumbs. Beautiful presentation and honestly delicious. The cone smelled and tasted so great. The custard is more of a cream but still good. Where I'm being picky: the cone could've been a little crispier and the toppings were pretty minimal. I couldn't taste or see any of the caramel sauce and the Oreo dust is so fine I think I inhaled more of it into my lungs than I actually ate. I wish it was actual mashed up pieces not fine dust. We will definitely be back though! I just won't get Oreo crumbs next time.
I will be dreaming about this place till I am on the East Coast again. All the flavors were so delicious and refreshing after walking around the area. A smaller shop but smells like buttery, waffle goodness. The staff were very friendly and got our orders very quickly. I am a clumsy person and did not want to risk dropping all the goodness from the fish waffle but we all sampled each others and there is no going wrong with anything ordered here.
By what I read in the other reviews, it seems like this place gets busy! The shop is small and there is barely any room to stand inside. We got our ice cream and ate out in the courtyard area, seaport is such a nice place. I got a matcha soft-serve in a taiyaki cone with red bean, and my bf got a vanilla one. The ice cream and taiyaki fish tasted great, my only gripe was how incredibly messy it was to eat. There was such a large volume of ice cream in the cone itself that I wasn't able to eat fast enough and it started melting all over my hands and arms. Like it was crazy. I was eating this ice cream like an animal. It would be nice if they served this with a cup or something. So I just feel like if you're not someone who can inhale a giant ice cream this is not for you. I would just get a plain taiyaki fish treat with ice cream on the side.
Went here and their ice cream was so tasty, but the line is so long, because there can be only 6 people in the restaurant at once. The ice cream machine was broken (like McDonald's lol) and half of the ice cream menu was gone. However the ice cream was very good, paired with a cool atmosphere with nice decor and cool logos.
Bummed that they ran out of taiyaki at 8pm (2 hours before closing). How does a Taiyaki place run out of Taiyaki. I was looking forward to getting one of their creations. Nevertheless, I ended up getting strawberry/mango in a cup. It was alright. Somi Somi is better.
I highly recommend getting a cup to put your taiyaki because the sleeve will get very drippy and messy. I got the red bean with mango and vanilla swirl (vegan) it was yummy, I think better than somi somi.
Beautiful and delicious matcha icecream in a warm fish-shaped waffle cone. The area around the Taiyaki NYC store was also beautiful!
I love coming here for their fun and flavorful desserts! I've tried the ice cream in a cup, ice cream with waffles, and even the mini mochi bites with matcha cream. Everything is so good, and you really can't go wrong with any of their options. Even when there's a line out the door, it moves quickly thanks to the fast service. The shop itself is small, but there's plenty of outdoor seating with tables and benches throughout the Seaport area, just a few steps away. It's a great spot to grab dessert and enjoy it outside! read more
This wowed me. The shop is small, and the girls working there were so nice. It's counter service and it's always busy but it's worth it. Definitely a place you go on foot as there is not much for parking. They have dairy free options that are rich and delicious. Limited menu items but it's all delicious. I mean, come on, it's ice cream served in a custard filled waffle fish? That's definitely worth checking out. Amazing. read more

Cute small little store with lots of outdoor open access seating!! There was no line and we got our food very quickly after we ordered! I got the make your own custard taiyaki with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, condensed milk syrup, and Oreo with mochi. The taiyaki was delicious and so so cute! Mine was a bit mushy while my friend's was more crispy, so it really depends on who made the taiyaki! The soft serve itself was standard - very creamy! Definitely a cute experience for the photos, especially the unicorne one! read more

Okay this ice cream is delicious and stunning. We couldn't help but hold out our ice creams for this pic. It truly is just as good as it looks!! I got the vanilla with Oreo crumbs and chocolate syrup drizzled on top and it was heaven in a cone. I mean look at these fish cones!! We were obsessed. The taste of the cone reminded us of a waffle cone and it's stuffed with the perfect amount of custard to add a little something something to your bite too. The store itself fits about 6 people at once so there may be a line out front but it moves fast. read more
The icecream itself was pretty good, and the appearance with the fish cone is so cute and unique. I got the custard version and it was great. However, the icecream is soft serve and it began melting in a critical way immediately upon stepping outside of the store. You literally have to eat it as fast as you can to avoid it getting all over you. Mine was gone in under 2 minutes and it still ended up being a mess. This wouldn't be a big issue if they had searing inside the store, but unfortunately it's pretty tight inside. read more

Best sweet treat in Seaport! Got the #1 Classic to share in a cup and it was fantastic. Service was super quick and can eat it outside on the benches. Waffle + soft serve just can't be beat. read more

I love the Taiyaki ice cream generally but this location is so bad. I went in on a cold night in March (4 kids/2 adults), the place was empty and the staff seemed annoyed that anyone came in to interrupt their phone time. They literally had 75% of the indoor space roped off with a sign not to stand there for no apparent reason except to encourage people to move outside. It was in the 30s with high winds - who wants to eat ice cream outdoors in the freezing cold? While we were waiting for our order another group came in and quickly left after they realized there was no where for them to stand while they ate their ice cream. We awkwardly ate our ice cream in the small space available that wasn't roped off. read more

Great place for a quick snack. I got the chocolate ice cream. It was beautiful to look at but it does melt quickly. The place is quite small but the service is quick. The ice cream was soft serve and great for the summertime. It is located right in seaport so you can enjoy your ice cream by the ocean read more

Visit this location for some taiyaki (waffles shaped in a fish) and ice cream! They offer a selection of flavors although it looks like matcha/hojicha is their most popular combo of flavors. If you're not craving ice cream, there are also pastries (mochi donuts) and lattes as well as traditional taiyakis filled with red bean or custard. The wait for my red bean taiyaki was a bit long but it was a busy night. Overall, would recommend checking this place out! read more
Taiyaki NYC has cute fish cone ice cream! There's a couple different flavors of ice cream you can choose from, as well as toppings + choice of fish cone, cup, or waffle cone. They also have preset signature options. I wish their matcha had less vanilla flavor and stronger on the matcha. The matcha ice cream honestly just taste like vanilla ice cream. I do like the concept and eating their cones though but their ice cream is just mid. read more
Good creamy ice cream. The matcha and sesame flavor was good. The Mochi stick was super tiny mochis that didn't taste very good. The chocolate wafer stick was normal kind you get at the Asian grocery store. And the fish was not fresh and crispy. I think it's just the hype because it's in a cute fish which has been sold in other states, esp west coast, already. It's too hard to give it higher rating for the price as it was very expensive and I'm not sure I would order it again. read more

The Taiyaki NYC in Boston Seaport was a delightful treat on our latest outing. The whimsical and charming unicorn taiyaki with red bean filling that I ordered was delicious. The playful presentation was a feast for the eyes, while the red bean filling provided a sweet and satisfying flavor profile. My friends opted for the matcha taiyaki with yellow custard filling. It included a colorful mochi stick and drizzle. Our visit to Taiyaki NYC was a memorable and delightful experience, filled with playful, Instagram-worthy desserts. There was a bit of a wait because it is a small location and only 6 people are allowed inside at a time, but the line moves fairly quickly. It's a must-visit spot for anyone in the Boston Seaport area looking for a unique and delicious treat. read more
I had been walking my daughter around this neighborhood for awhile after the park and museums and she wanted some ice cream since it was warm out. We hadn't really eaten much so I agreed just to replenish some energy, a quick map search popped this place up only 2 blocks away and decided to check it out. Really just a hole in the wall take out place, seating for maybe 3-4 people, but they also had a sign stating only 4 people(I think) at a time in the shop. Having never heard of Taiyaki before I'm glad we stopped in. We tried their Signature #1 Classic and I ordered Mochi mini taiyaki with strawberry cream. It was really cool to watch them pour the dough into the molds and make them fresh. The Classic was great, we were able to snack on it while the mini were being made. It was a perfect ice cream treat with a really delicious and fun "cone". My daughter loved the fish, and it was a nice rich dough but not too sweet. The mini mochi came out piping hot and they packed them up in a paper cup for us with the cream on the side. It was perfect to take back to the hotel with us to share with mom. They had a nice red bean filling, not too sweet, but a really nice soft texture. Mixed with the sweet strawberry cream it was a great dessert snack. Really cool place to check out, won't be surprised if we see them popping up on the west coast soon. read more
PRICEY but occasionally there's a special like over the winter holidays. The matcha ice cream is flavorful but not too sweet, the consistency is fantastic, and the cone is spectacular. It's worth the money. The service is fast. No seating or even standing room so plan to be on the go for this one. read more

The taiyaki here are huge and so adorable!! Sometimes Instagrammable food doesn't actually taste good, but this one is aesthetic and it's also delicious. The soft serve is super creamy and the taiyaki can be filled so you get so many flavors in one. It's a perfectly crispy and creamy dessert. We got one matcha soft serve in a classic fish shaped taiyaki and watermelon soft serve in a really cute Rilakkuma shaped one. We got one filled with red bean and the other w custard and both were really good! To this day it's one of the prettiest desserts I've ever had. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving sugar in the Boston seaport area! Service is great and the wait isn't too long, and there's a ton of seating in the little courtyard/plaza outside. read more
This place is super small but a must try. The ice cream and cone were delicious and it was super cute had to take some pics. I'll definitely go back I just wish I could have seen the options better before I ordered as there was a Christmas special that I definitely would have gotten if I saw it. #desert #seaport #Boston #Massachusetts #icecream #redbean #custard read more
Sweet deliciousness Fish shaped ice cream cones!!! Need I say more?! Cold ice cream... warm cone! Their taiyaki waffles are made fresh on-site, and their soft serve ice cream is produced and churned in small batches making it wicked fresh & creamy. Small space, but perfect location set in the Boston Seaport district. Friendly staff & a whole lot of different flavor options to satisfy any pallet. Highly recommended if you're ever in the area looking for a light delight of sweetness. read more
