Ikot Icream Desserts - Hayward

Came by for the first time and wanted to try something cool on a hot AF day! This place is pretty close by and across the street from buffalo bills (which has now closed so sad). Ordered the ube and chocolate taiyaki along with the waffle corn dog. Got my ice cream and will admit they were awesome! The waffle was also nice and crispy! I downfall....they forgot to give me the waffle corn dog :

We went on a Sunday afternoon, it was not busy at all. Walked in to a staredown from their employees, not one of them greeted us hello or asked if we had questions about the menu.They were sold out of (or didn't have) half their menu items, which included the ube ice cream/taiyaki that we went there specifically for. We were told it was being refilled but they didn't offer how long it would take, so we ordered a fruit soda instead that was overly sweet and just okay. We saw customers a short while later with the ube taiyaki, so clearly it wasn't all that long to be refilled...Overall, customer service definitely needs improvement. But I'm willing to go back to give it another try.

Waffles have a nice chewy crunch. Taiyaki with red bean or nutella filling was pretty good.Could be cleaner, watch where you sit or just take it to goThey are out of a lot of toppings, but they still have mochi. Things like slushes and swirls are not available despite pictures, had to explain that to little kid that can't read and wanted stuff in pictures

I can here expecting a great find. I finally found another close yogurt dessert place or so I thought. The place is right next door to Century 16 in downtown Hayward. There is a close parking garage near by as street parking will be difficult. Both my girls and I ordered their Taiyaki ice cream dessert. The small size was perfect as they do give you a generous amount for the price. I also wanted to try their shaved ice dessert bowls. I think the disappointment here was that they don't make the Taiyaki fish cones fresh as you order and the flavor of the soft serve was very artificially flavored. The chocolate and Ube don't even taste like the real thing. The Ube had so much food coloring, it was dark purple and it stained the table! Ekks! Also, the Mochi bites was stuffed inside the fish cone with the Nutella and a few pieces on the soft serve. The Mochi bites were so hard, too! That was a waste of $0.95. We barely ate it. Actually, we didn't finish our desserts and threw the rest away. Service was ok and made it fast. I guess I wasn't expecting great friendly service on a Sunday but there was barely anyone there at that time we came in the evening. At least, have a smile sir!! I guess my rating is a good solid 2 stars. Price is similar to other places but at least they have two sizes for Taiyaki fish cone desserts. Not sure I would come back. [34th R]

Went there for the first time last night and they didn 't have anything available besides milkshakes and the taiyaki soft serve. Maybe it was the time of day? It was at 715 and they close at 830. They had sticky notes for everything they didn 't have which was about half of what they offered. The one note they had that I thought was hilarious was Coming Soon, Maybe not for their snowflake ice cream. At least they 're being honest right? Also their cup says TikTok, but the place is called iKot iCream? Maybe new ownership? Very confusing. For place to be almost 5 stars I would 've expected so much more.
