Where to Get Taiyaki in Dallas: 5 Spots for Japanese Fish-Shaped Treats

Taiyaki (fish-shaped cakes filled with sweet red bean, custard, chocolate) is found at these Dallas-area Japanese/Taiwanese/Korean dessert shops:

1. 85°C Bakery Cafe – Multiple DFW locations (Plano, Carrollton, Richardson). Fillings: red bean, custard, chocolate. Taiwanese chain; also shaved ice, bread.
2. Mochi Mochi – Carrollton (H-Mart plaza). Taiyaki + mochi, shaved ice, drinks. Fillings: red bean, custard.
3. Bing Su House – Plano (Legacy West). Korean shaved ice (bingsu) specialist; taiyaki: red bean, custard, chocolate.
4. Snow Factory Asian Cafe – Richardson (Central Expy). Taiwanese desserts; taiyaki: red bean, custard, chocolate.
5. Sweet Time Crepes & Waffles – Garland. Crepes, waffles, taiyaki (red bean, custard, chocolate).

Notes: All are in northern suburbs (Collin/Dallas counties). Call ahead—taiayki may sell out. For authentic taiyaki-ki (cast-iron mold) texture, 85°C and Mochi Mochi are best bets. Dallas proper (Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts) has fewer options.
