The place is inside a restaurant without any big sign so you gotta find the gate as in my picture and go inside it. I got there around 2pm (the ice cream place opens at 1pm) and there were no staff. I looked around for 5 minutes and one lady walked in and take my order. I wanted Matcha Pineapple flavor but they don’t have it. The only flavor they had at that time were Matcha and Vanilla (which is really disappointed). The only reason I still gave them 4 stars is because the ice cream is good (so I assume other flavors is also good too). Hopefully they will improve everything by the next time I visit

Terrible experience, the place is very dirty and people so rude. Moreover the taste of the icecream is artificial and heavy.

Went for the Rilakkuma collaboration and it was great! Will definitely be back to try their regular taiyaki!

I used to come to this location and enjoy the ice cream but recently I feel like they cheapen their ice cream offering. The flavor selection is reduce - no more black sesame, the waffle taiyaki fish that I have does not have anymore red beans filling that I love and also the topping is being altered while maintaining the price which does not justify it. I get it when it come to pandemic that things might change however, I do not like this location business practice where the cashier automatically added 18% gratuity in the credit card machine upon check out to pay.

A cute kiosk serving matcha and taiyaki (fish-shaped desserts) in the patio area of 1-800-Lucky! I was too full to get the Taiyaki, but they looked really good here. Its a franchise that is started in NYC and this is the only one in Miami as far as Im aware.Anyways, I opted for a simple Matcha Latte instead. It was just what I needed with the right amount of sweetness. Really cute cup and paper straws too.Next time Im in town, Ill definitely hit this place up and get their Taiyaki!

My husband and I went to have dinner at 1800 Lucky in Wynwood. We wanted dessert and decided to check out this place. Not only was the ice cream great and generously portioned, but the service was spectacular! Very friendly staff and helpful. We will definitely return!

Vanilla and coffee ice cream was fair. The toppings were lousy and low quality. The caramel syrup was way too rich. The cone was kind of boring as well. Great service and always helpful team members.

Their desserts are so cute, tasty and full of flavor! I loved the matcha and the unicorn was so cute I just had to buy it!

Ice cream was yummy. Sadly only pineapple and vanilla were available on the day we went. We will return to try the other flavors on another day.

Definitely my favorite ice cream place on a list. This place is always crowded. For as long as I remember, they closed on Monday. Do not do the same mistakes, as I did. I came there and they were closed. Anyway, the ice creams are so tasty. They serve milkshakes as well. I tried all their flavors and I love how they serve. The ice cream cone looks like a fish. It is cute. One time I ordered a milkshake and they gave it to me in a unicorn swim ring. I loved it! It is hard to find a table over there because it is located in a place where another restaurant is located.

Quick, yummy, delicious and fun with Customizing your taiyaki or rilakuma! Rila is for those who dont want red bean filling!

I absolutely love Taiyaki and it is well worth it, however, but our last experience was terrible. We waited 2nd place in line for 45 minutes. Additionally, the staff was rude and stoic with a huge attitude. They also allowed someone to cut the line just because they had a “kid” and there were plenty of families and kids waiting to line behind us. The guy literally handed his card to the staff in front of us and they took his order even though we, along with a large line of people behind us were waiting an extended period of time. They only had one flavor available. I hope Miami gets up to speed, the other locations are on point.Nonetheless, the ice cream was delicious.

This ice cream is special. It comes in a fish cone with tasty toppings like condensed milk, chocolate, and unicorn sprinkles. Flavors include vanilla, matcha green tea, pineapple and a few others. There is a vegan option too! There is a also a sweet red bean treat at the bottom of the cone that is delicious. Highly recommend! It costs $7 and it is totally worth it.

No respect for their customers. After 30 of minutes of waiting for a vanilla ice cream, every other flavor was sold out by 8:00pm, I gotta deal with some attitude from some self entitled workers… idk a bit wack if you ask me

Review №17

Website says to check Yelp and google for hours. On both it says they open at 12pm everyday. We came by around 12:10 and the girl tells us they don’t open until 1. We come back the next day and we try to order ice cream and we’re told the matcha ice cream isn’t working but pineapple is. Then they tell us the pineapple isn’t working they only have vanilla. Then they say “can you come back later when everything is working?” We leave and come back an hour later and the window is closed and no one is there.

Got a macha on a fish cone. Ice cream was fine; nothing to write home about. But THEN. Got down to the bottom of the fish. Found the hidden red bean paste. Then I wrote home.

Review №19

The ice cream is something else worth coming back for, again and again. Unfortunately, the is a DJ playing loud music, which makes it difficult to hear the vendors. The dj is not the ice cream parlors fault, but be ready to yell over the music to place your order.

Very bad and terrible service, the woman that attend are so rude. Twice she refused to attend us because first she said to wait 20 minutes after she said 15 minutes more.It seems that they do not want to attend and seek to close before time.Terrible service

Review №22

YAAAAAS literally the best soft serve Ive had in years!!!! Highly recommend the Straight Outta Japan! I also really appreciated the fact that the taiyaki waffle was super fluffy and not very sweet. It complemented the ice cream extremely well. Ill definitely be back to try the other flavor combinations!! 😍

Very disappointed with this place.. Went here last night with my family and they were out of the famous fish cones at 9:45 pm, supposed to be open until 11 pm. Also out of all flavors except vanilla pineapple, this was on a Thursday night, not even on a busy weekend. Asked the staff if this a regular occurrence and they stated yeah we always run out early, some nights even by 8 pm I asked them if this is the case why dont you keep more fish cones in stock or just adjust your hours to Close at 8 pm so not to waste everyones time, of course they just shrugged it off and said thats just how it is. keep in mind this place is very difficult to get to. Parking absolutely non-existant, the only way to get there is you have to pay for expensive valet parking and walk about 8 blocks to get to this area Then, there is the very long wait in line, of course no one who works there is considerate enough to place a sign or something letting customers in long line know they are out of fish cones so you dont waste your night. No way to call this place and find out anything, they have no phones (or at least never answer them) and there website is never updated. The owners of this place should shut this business down until they can get their act together. I under stand they have other locations such as in NY. But they should realize that after the terrible experience my family had at there Wynwood Miami location we would never seek out another one of these. So, this location is just ruining there company name and reputation. The owners really need to be more considerate to there customers ! We did manage to get some vanilla ice cream in a cup (with out the fish cones). It is soft serve and was not very frozen, it was half melted by the time the girl at the counter handed it to us, maybe the machine was not working properly. The ice cream was just OK, nothing really that special. Certainly not worth the hassles of dealing with this place. Taiyaki is a very Overhyped and overrated ice cream stand ! Take your business elsewhere and save your family a lot grief.

Out of NYC, Taiyaki is a little kiosk at the entrance of 1-800-Lucky Asian food court.You choose either cup or cone, choice of ice creams and toppings. Very different including the taste and flavors.

Review №26

The ice cream was delicious. Too bad it has outdoor seating. With this Miami heat, there needs to be some fans outside. Also, I had the unicorn float, however the taste was terrible. I would ask for options of flavor to see if they can give it to you. Otherwise, it’s a great little place to get creative ice cream.

Wow! A great transplant from NYC. Soft cookie cone, interesting ice cream flavors and great service make this little shop a must visit if youre in town.

Review №28

Drove all the way from Kendall to find out its closed because of a Bitcoin event. It says its open, you didnt even update if it was closed. I cant even call this location because it doesnt work. This is beyond upsetting because I wasted my time and gas to come to a place that was open to find out it was closed because of an event. Next time update your hours so people dont waste their time. This isnt the first time its happened.

Awful ice cream at an awful location. Do not go to this place at night, does not feel safe at all. Any ice cream you find at Publix will taste way better.

Review №31

Some of the best and cutest ice cream i’ve ever had! I originally bought the Unicorn Cone, but i just had to go back and buy the pool floatie milk shake! Cones are $6-9 and the pool floatie unicorn was $10. Very reasonably priced for how adorable these are. Very good location as well, it is right in the center of Wynwood Walls so you can enjoy your cute treats with a great view! It’s tucked in a little garden so it can be difficult to find it at first but it’s worth the searching!

The official opening time is 12PM, we came at 12:10 and the lady said that she can’t serve us because she is waiting for one more person. We waited till 12:30 and came back again, and she still did not wanted to serve us because she was waiting for another person! Advice, if you post that you open at 12 then open at 12!!!!Very disappointed, I guess I’ll try this ice cream in NY, I hope they will be working properly there!

Finally an Asian ice cream in Miami! Love their flavors and how the waffle cones are made of. The only bad thing is that the ice creams are pricey.

Review №35

Such a cool little ice cream truck. Ice cream self is delicious it tasted really similar to gelato and how smooth and creamy it was. The red bean paste cone was really good and the little bit of chocolate at the bottom was a nice surprise. I do wish there were a few more traditional flavor options even though I did love the matcha flavored ice cream.

We were passing by 1-800-lucky and dropped by. Such amazing green tea frappe and green tea latte! The green tea flavor was very strong and evident! Definitely going to come back for more :)Kenny the manager was very friendly and walked us through different flavors as well. Very impressed with the service (Covid safe: gloves and masks)!

Very unique cones with red beans filling inside . The ice cream is from a soft serve ice cream . It melts faster than most ice cream. It has 6/7 flavors to choose from. It is worth the drive

Delicous spot for a unique dessert, the ice cream was great but the cone was the best part complimenting the ice cream with a warm soft doughy taste, then once you get to the bottom youll taste the beans which add to this treat!

Review №44

This was one of the best Japanese-Style deserts Ive had. You typically wont find this combination in Japan per se, but still amazing! The matcha icecream was very flavorful, the taiyaki cone was packed with warm anko at the bottom and the mochi and chocolate crunch roll were a nice touch. I WILL come here again.

Vi
Review №45

So many good flavors, and a really unique menu! The cones and mochi are super cute and the Matcha (green tea) flavor ice cream really tastes amazing. The presentation is always beautiful. Theres nothing else like this place in Miami.The outdoor seating area is also really comfortable and a nice place to take a rest for a moment. Child friendly and cooled with a big fan. I lingered for a while when waiting for somebody and got no trouble for it at all. Being Wynwood, the parking can be rough though.

This is a hidden gem in the bustle of Los Angeles, and the perfect treat after a fun night(or BEFORE a fun night). I love this place so much, for the flavors, service, and memories made around it.

Review №47

I was excited to try this ice cream based off of the high star rating on google and the beautifully styled icecream, but was sadly disappointed in the flavor. The green tea matcha ice cream left a dry feeling in the mouth and a weird chemical aftertaste. I would say that the appeal of this spot is the look of the icecream for a cute photo and thats pretty much it.

Nothing beats tasty soft serve ice cream on a shiny hot afternoon. I tried the Black Sesame flavor with a drizzle of condensed milk. It was so good. You can chose your favorite syrups and toppings from many selections. The fish shaped cone was so cute that I hated to bite into it. The cone has sweet bean filling inside and it was sweet and delicious. I recommend you to try it when you pass by the Wynwood area.

It was a delicious combination of soft serve matcha ice cream and freshly made taiyaki stuffed with sweet red bean paste and topped with matcha powder and strawberry syrup. On such a hot summer day, a decadent treat like this really hits the spot. Be prepared to stand in line though as this small stand draws a big crowd.

Incredibly delicious ice cream, just a bit unique, always delicious! This ice cream had a smooth, fresh and creamy texture. I liked the simplicity of the taste.

If you are around make sure to give it a try!

Review №76

It’s in a small food truck. Their current seasonal flavor is pineapple and if you love the dole whip flavor from Disney then you have to get the pineapple soft serve here. Beware of getting the cute fish cone because the ice cream will melt very fast on a hot day and it will tumble out of the cone. Get the cone for the gram and get a cup for practical eating.

THE MOST DELICIOUS CAFE IVE EVER WENT TO. The interior design is cute and really connects to the architecture of Korea. The cashier was really nice and welcoming. We ordered the Sweet Purple Potato Ice Cream ($4.5) and Sweet Potato Mixed Ice ($8)They gave us an extra of sweet potato chips and this potato sauce/drizzle/smoothie thing for complimentary service. The physical appearance of our foods was 10/10 and so was the taste.If youre a sweet tooth but need to watch your weight, eat this! (But the price here is unacceptably high... Must use good products)

The two girls working around 4 -5 pm today were extremely rude! My husband and daughter were with me and truly a disappointment. We drove from Jacksonville to try this out! She didn’t even let me finish my question, cut me off and didn’t even give any other options for what I wanted to order.

Review №92

We both had the #5 “Straight Outta Japan” (matcha & black sesame) matcha is a pretty standard flavor anymore but the black sesame is a unique flavor that I cant quite compare to anything. My wife said the combination tasted like peanut butter to her. It was good, but I think I would try a different flavor if we come back. Everything was less sweet than I was expecting it to be, which was a good thing. It would have gotten a 5 star if it was located somewhere different. If youre going to be in the Wynwood area of Miami I would definitely check this place out. But to make a special trip (like we did) it’s not worth it when you have to deal with the traffic, parking and hipsters.
