Fugu Taiyaki

The family and I came here for dessert. There were a good amount of people here on a Sunday evening around 6:45 pm. You will have to find street parking.We ordered the following:- Taro Horchata Taiyaki - Pistachio Rolled Ice Cream- (2) Kit Kat Rolled Ice CreamI enjoyed the Taro Horchata Taiyaki, but my partner thought it was too sweet. The Pistachio rolled ice cream had a sweet and salty flavor. The kiddos liked their Kit Kat rolled ice cream as well but one of our kiddos enjoyed my taro horchata more lol and they probably should've shared their ice cream since they got the same thing.The place is a decent sized dessert place where you can sit and eat your ice cream if there is space. The workers were friendly. It can be entertaining to watch them create the rolled ice cream. You can get to go covers if you don't finish your ice cream. Good overall dessert experience that cost around $39 plus tip for 4.

We were around Oceanside for dinner and wanted to wrap up with some desserts. Found this place right across and there was a long wait line. I immediately checked the reviews to be prepared and every review mentioned they take 20-30mins and are kind of slow. We knew what to expect and waited for 20 min to place an order and another 20 min to get the order. They have two kinds of menu rolled ice cream and teyiaki soft serve. Rolled ice cream takes longer and Teyiaki is a little faster. We went with chocolate hazelnut for rolled ice cream and mango with Mexican caramel filling for the Teyiaki. They are slow because this ice cream is not premade, it's made fresh and takes time. However, they probably can have more people working. Anyhow, the soft serve is really good and we enjoyed the rolled ice-cream too. The presentation was nice but didn't like the whipped cream or the syrups, the ice-creams in itself was pretty good. The pricing is alright, but the service needs work.

This popular ice cream place is located on the busy Mission Avenue street. It's an easy walk from Oceanside pier. It was pretty busy on a Sunday evening. We came here after dinner. The exterior and interior had fun ocean art. There are tall tables to sit at but it's mostly for takeout. Because they were busy, we weren't greeted when we came in. We stood at the cashier ready to order but again because they were busy the cashier was making ice cream too. There seemed to be only 2 staff working today. My hubby and I shared a small rolled strawberry with crushed oreos on top. It took awhile for them to make it. It is all made to order and there were people ahead of us. The ice cream was good. It's rolled ice cream. Nothing that made me dream of coming back. The prices are high but standard for rolled ice cream.

Food (5/5 stars):Fugu Rolled Ice Cream & Taiyaki is a great dessert spot in Oceanside! This was my first time trying rolled ice cream, and I really enjoyed it! I loved its unique texture and the Cookie Monster flavor was a great call. I'll be back to try their other flavors and Taiyaki!Experience (5/5 stars):* Price: slightly pricey* Wait Time: minimal * Service: good* Parking: street parking can be difficult* Ambiance: it's a simple store

We were staying in Oceanside and happened to see this place while driving. Stopped in for after dinner dessert and were pleasantly surprised with legit taiyaki with unique flavors of fillings and soft serve. The taro/horchata soft serve swirl with the mexican caramel filling for the taiyaki was a great pairing. Our kids loved the mango sorbet as well. Overall solid dessert place.

Yay, finally tried the fish cone! Green tea matcha and vanilla soft serve, plus red bean filling, was probably the best thing I could've ordered to fully enjoy this place. It hit the spot for me! I grew up eating red bean paste in pastries and ice cream so to have it in North County brings a smile to my face. I was a little confused with the menu - vegan options are only for rolled ice cream, but not soft serve. The filling is inside the fish cone. I really don't see how eating ice cream in the fish cone by itself is manageable, so their recommended bowl seems to be the only way to go, but good luck if you try the cone solo. The cone is like a waffle cone. They also sell taiyaki with filling by itself - they call it "closed" taiyaki.Our ice cream came out after rolled ice cream orders, whom ordered after us, and it seemed to be that the soft serve was not thick enough for serving yet. We got there around noon. We were patient and thanked for waiting the long wait. I enjoyed it and will come again.There's seating inside.

Craving ice cream while walking around in Oceanside downtown? There are three primary options Fugu, ColdStone, and Handle's. Fugu is more conveniently located and has more Asian flavored/style ice cream. Handles and ColdStone are more traditional American flavors.The cones are fish shaped and made fresh. More like waffles. Definitely recommend trying if you like nice light texture ice cream.

I like the taiyaki and it's a fun treat. You're going to have to park downtown and walk. It's tasty and a fun stop in Oceanside.

Interesting and unique take on ice cream. Very good with many different flavors and it is interesting how the ice cream is rolled up ( see pics). It is a labor intensive to make these, but they do have soft serve if you don't want to wait. It is a more unique ice cream shop by the beach with a beach vibe.

Love the taiyakis!! They are made fresh to order, and it was delicious. Crispy and warm, best be eaten right away with the filling of your choice. We had the nutella, custard, and caramel. I find that the filling wasn't consistent. For example, our nutella one had filling coming out of the fish while the custard filling was very skimpy. We could barely taste the filling! Also, we tried the cookies and cream ice cream. It was... not cookies and cream. It was literally chocolate ice cream! It also comes with the upside down fish, and we chose 3 fillings as well. The first filling was free then .50 cents additional for each filling after. We had custard, nutella, and condensed milk. The establishment was kept clean and had plenty of seats for patrons. They also provided a clean restroom for paying customers. The restroom code is printed on the receipt. There isn't a changing table in the restroom, but it is big enough to accommodate a stroller.
