Ordered the green tea fish waffle $ 5. It looks appetizing. A bit smaller than I imagined it to be. Comes with 2 scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. The bottom of the cone has a bit of red bean in it. I asked for a takeout box so I could take it home(it was winter so I rather eat it at home) however they wouldn’t give me a box. I had to keep asking and tell them that I couldn’t drive home with me having to hold onto it. The server finally gave me a cup in which half of it ripped already when I got into the car… It was a bit hard trying to transport it but I assume most people eat it outside right when they get it. The ice cream was good but the cone itself was really hard which I was not expecting since I’ve had their fish cakes at their stand before. I think it was a bit stale too. The bottom of the cone was good tho because of the red bean which made the cone more mushy. I probably would not come again.

What a nice small dessert place. It was a good experience overall but not as amazing but I will try again for sure. Solid 3.5 stars! Food: 3/5, I got the black bean ice cream with fish shaped cone. I just wished the cone was made with the exact fish shaped(boong-uh-bbang) instead it was just the shape cone. Service: 3/5, nice guy and older lady. They were smiling and we had a good time overall. Ambience: 3/5, not much as just one table and TV. But it’s good if you have a small number of people. Price: 4/5, about $ 5 per person for a gourmet ice cream decorated uniquely.

Went here on a whim because it’s close to my work place. It’s by the far some of the cutest food I’ve eaten in the area, but taste wise it’s just alright. Read bean waffle ice cream w/black sesame(3.5÷5): the cone is so cute. I got this and seriously didn’t want to eat it haha. However, that aside the black sesame ice cream tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer a little too long so the flavour was faint and texture was very icy. The cone itself was hard in some spots so i found it wasn’t as easy to eat as a traditional cone but the red bean at the bottom was a nice surprise. Red bean waffles(3⁄5): It’s hard to eat more than one because I found that my waffles were super greasy. The red bean inside isn’t super sweet and the texture of the waffle itself was very soft, however it was hard to get over the greasy-ness. Unfortunately, I most likely won’t be buying their red bean waffles again. Cost(3⁄5): Fairly standard. I didn’t think it was too expensive nor quite a deal as well. Service(3.5÷5): Like cost, it was standard. The person at the cash said hello, and non-nonchalantly took our order. I no complaints, but don’t really have any compliments to offer either. Ambiance(3.5÷5): Not a big focus of this little shop. It’s a basic counter with the pre-made fishy cones sitting on top. There’s a table and counter top to sit at with basic furniture. The red bean waffle ice cream chart is a nice touch and I quite enjoyed the poster they have on their wall that says what kind of person you are based on how you eat the red bean waffle. Definitely cute. Will probably come back if I’m up for trying another flavored ice cream(perhaps black sesame is not their best), but wouldn’t recommend the red bean waffles cause of how greasy my experience was.

Delicious! Wonderful! I want more now! Came to this plaza to go to the TD, but noticed that THIS is where the red bean waffle house is. Ever since I saw Jennifer K’s delicious photos, I wanted to print them off and eat them. But I decided to wait and go for myself. The place is quite small, but service was fast and the guy working there was courteous. My boyfriend pointed out the fact that this place was opened by the same people that run the pojangmacha food carte at yonge and finch. No wonder. all the food seems so similar. I didn’t try the other stuff but I had the giant red bean waffle stuffed with ice cream and it was delicious! SOOO much ice cream though, but biting into the ice cream and the waffle is definitely a treat. The waffle is crisped to perfection and it’s crunchy and chewy all at the same time. Perfect. I also liked the fact that the red bean taste was not overpowering. Just thinking and writing about the amazing waffle I had today is mouth watering and I am just baffled by how good it was. I am definitely coming back. like, now.

Stopped by around 8:30pm, 2 Saturdays ago with 3 friends, for some dessert after having an early dinner nearby. Been meaning to drop by since I first saw reviews about this place. This store is opened by the same people from Kim’s a la cart on Yonge & Finch. I’m so excited about this place opening because that means I no longer have to find parking on Yonge to get those fishie waffles anymore. There’s a huge parking lot, but with so many other restaurant in the same plaza it can be kind of hard to find parking during busier lunch/dinner hours. This place closes way earlier than the cart though at 9pm, so that’s one con. There are more sweets options here then at the food cart, but I think maybe less savoury options. Not a problem for me, since 90% of the time I’m at the cart it’s for the fishie waffles anyways. Here they not only have the traditional red bean fish waffles, but the nutella fish waffles as well. Well I haven’t been to the cart in almost a year so, not sure if they have that there now as well. Red Bean Waffles were $ 1 for 1 or $ 5 for 6. So of course I got the 6 pcs. Kind of wished they had the $ 2.50 for 3 like at the cart, cause that would have been the perfect portion for me. No matter though, I had half with the family and then toasted the rest in the oven the next day and they were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside again. I like that the red bean filling isn’t too sweet, I am not a big fan of red bean, but I will eat these fishies anyday. The Nutella Waffles are $ 5 for 4. We really wanted to try them as well, since my friends loves nutella a lot. They only sell them in 4s, but for some reason there was only 3 left. Since the store was closing soon, they just gave us the 3 for free. So nice of them! And it was so good! It was not bursting with nutella though like my friends had hoped, but good none the less. I definitely would get this again. We also wanted to try the nutella pancakes too, but they weren’t making anymore since they were getting ready to close up already. Ahh next time I will be back to try that pancake and get more of them fishies!

3.5 Came here after a disappointing dinner to cheer us up. Red Bean Waffle House serves up some pretty good desserts, but you need to go early in the day. Pros: Red bean waffles are delish, better than night markets Cons: They run out of stuff quickly Like I said, I came here after a disappointing dinner experience to cheer myself up. Red bean waffles are one of my fav desserts and these type of places shape them like fish. As soon as you walk in, the smell of them perks you right up. It’s a very inviting smell indeed. The red bean waffles were very good. They were crispy on the outside, warm on the inside. We came at about 7pm and tasted very fresh. Me and my GF both feel that they are better here than at night markets. So we came at 7pm and it was sad to see that they were sold out of everything else. All they had left was the waffles. I can understand if it was closer to closing time, but when it;s two hours away I feel they should still have everything available. The Nutella pancake looked so good and I wanted to try one so bad. So I will be back to try the pancake one day to update the review. Looking forward to it already.

Red bean filled waffle cake in the shape of a fish? Bungeoppang I saw that in Korean grocery stores and oh they tastes so good especially when they are freshly made. And you probably saw it at Toronto a la cart at Yonge and Finch. Red Bean Waffle House, a newly opened Korean pastry and snack place is run by the same people of the only successful food cart program by City of Toronto. Open 6 days of week and they really prefected this snack. The outlayer always crispy, inside stuffed with red bean and just the ultimate comfort food. 6 for $ 5 I almost started eating them before I got home… and trust me, I could have eaten all of them myself! There are also Korean snacks like rice cake, squid, pancakes, dumplings available. You have a choice of eating in at a small bar area or to go.
