Taiyaki Chicago — Restaurant in Lake View Township

Don't rely upon the vegan wash. It does not seem they know what they are doing. I started to mistrust the shop when I ordered a strawberry soft serve filled with Nutella and asked about their vegan options, but the cashier didn't know. She went to the kitchen, and a person came back with her, saying the vegan options were not ready and that it would take 10 min to make it. I agreed to wait. The person returned to the kitchen while I asked the cashier about the flavors. She got confused at this moment. After frowning her face, her answer was “vegan.” I tried to explain that vegan is not a flavor, and then after she went to the kitchen again, the same person came back to tell me the soft serve is made of soy milk. At this point, I just wanted to pay, have the ice creams, and leave. After more than 15 min, the person from the kitchen got back to tell me Nutella, the filling I ordered for the regular soft serve, is not vegan. I patiently explained that I ordered this filling for the regular version, not the vegan one. I told her this would make the vegan ice cream not vegan. After waiting a little more, the two soft serves were ready; both of them were strawberry which made me very confused. Not because both of them had the same flavor, neither because one of them was oddly clumsy and almost fell from the cup, but because the vegan ice cream tasted strangely sour to a soy ice cream. Sadly, to add to this bad experience, I doubt the cone was vegan, as it smelled...

Taiyaki Chicago is an absolute delight that leaves you craving for more. This charming Japanese fish-shaped pastry, captures attention with its adorable shape. The pastry was perfectly golden, slightly crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. I decided to go for the peanut butter filling, which turned out to be a fantastic choice. I couldn't resist pairing it with a chocolate soft serve. The creamy, rich chocolate soft serve was a wonderful complement to the warm taiyaki, creating a symphony of flavors that left me craving for more. As if that wasn't enough indulgence, I decided to treat myself to a chocolate shake as well. The shake was thick, creamy, and irresistibly chocolatey, adding an extra layer of decadence to my already delightful dessert adventure. My dessert experience was nothing short of amazing. This pastry is the real deal, made with love and care, and it's no wonder people all over go crazy for it. If you're into Japanese treats or just looking for something super satisfying, you've got to get your hands on some taiyaki. Seriously, the flavor, the texture, the cute shape, it's got it all! Head over to your Taiyaki Chicago and treat yourself to this little piece of heaven. Trust me; you won't...

Taiyaki is a hidden gem located at 2468 n Clark Street next to Windy City Smokes. This Japanese Themed Dessert - Ice Cream shop makes everything fresh to order. The signiture offering is their exotic themed cones that are freshly grilled into fish shaped waffles. They are delicious by themselves having a crunchy and sweet exterior with a chewy and milky interior. Combine this delectible treat with your choice of filling, soft serve and topping and you end up with a generous sized Japanese inspired trend suitable for the American's palate.

If you're not in the mood for a cone, Taiyaki also offers cup sizes portions with the same options of fillings and toppings. Bubble teas and many of the other commonly seen Asian fruit juice blends with tapioca and other textured additives.

Overall checking out this place is a must. There is nothing bad to say about Taiyaki. I think you will be satisfied with your experience and I hope the next time you family are in the mood for something sweet you give Taiyaki...
