What to Order
Custard Taiyaki
These fish-shaped waffles are filled with a sweet, creamy custard, offering a delightful balance of crispy exterior and warm, gooey interior.
"I had the custard taiyaki, and my friends tried one for the first time as well. Everything was solid — sweet, warm, and perfectly baked."
Casey James Scheiner
Red Bean Taiyaki
A classic taiyaki filling, the red bean paste provides a subtly sweet and earthy flavor, encased in a perfectly golden, fish-shaped waffle.
"So good. Highly recommend. I'm from Korea and I have been craving for legit Korean Boong-eo-bbang for so long. At Kevin's, they have by far the closest one to what you can get in Korea."
