    It's the addict thing. When I m visiting S Cali with CocoHodo nearby, I got to check it out and plan it so I can bring back some to the states. This one is located inside the market, way at the back by the Paris Baguette. At the time if visit, we were greeted by elder lady with a sample hodo that was still hot. What a nice gesture. They have bags or boxes and also had signs for frozen and day old and two days old at discount. I did get a large bags of two days old on top of fresh ones for gift. One thing for sure. I always gets stopped at TSA. This time, 4 bags, each containing hodo was stopped for additional inspection. Gripe at TSA. Looks like a large BB bomb?

    Taiyaki

    fish taiyaki (pastry shaped like a fish) in OC! brings back Japan memories when I used to have them. They have 10 different flavors: cheese, Nutella, ham & cheese, Oreo, etc. Today, we tried the cocohodo partry (almond) which is really soft and melts in the mouth. The store inside Zion market looks clean organized. Service is great, nice couple.

    There were 5 Taiyakis to this order, but I couldn't wait to try them before realizing I forgot to take the before pic.

    I can still remember when I first tried red bean Taiyakis as a kid, and I've loved them ever since. Unfortunately, not all Taiyakis you find these days are the same, with all the variations of waffle shells.... now with the croissant versions.... and fillings also with different textures and sweetness. I do like their Cocohodos, but when they were at the previous spot inside the Zion market, for some reason, their Taiyakis seemed to have a more cakey texture, and the red bean fillings were a bit too sweet. However, they are now located in the food court section of the store, and the Taiyakis are now pretty darn amazing! ... but it needs to be made to order, fresh and hot off the grill, and eaten soon after. You just need to be careful as the fillings will be scorching hot! I'm amazed at how the Taiyakis are now a bit different than when they were selling them at the previous spot. The waffle is perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the filling is actually really yummy! I so love the red bean and custard Taiyakis. Ok, the fillings are perhaps a bit sweeter than I would like, but overall, they're really excellent and so remind me of my childhood days. The elderly gentleman manning the counter was also very nice and was the one who made our Taiyaki order from scratch. It goes without saying that this is my go-to place for the best Taiyakis and Cocohodos in town.

    This dessert place is conveniently located inside Zion Market next to Paris Baguette. They offer 5 taiyaki for $9.99 which is a great price for the amount you get. You can choose from 5 flavors: custard, taro, red bean, cheddar, and nutella. They also have some hot and cold drinks like tea and coffee. The service was great, the cashier was really nice and explained that there would be around a 10 minute wait for the items. This was no problem at all since I just browsed the market while waiting. The shop's location makes it very easy to walk around the market and come back when everything's ready. The taiyaki is served a paper to-go box with a handle. There is a lot of seating closer to the food court area, so you can take the dessert home or enjoy it there. Overall, I really enjoyed the taiyaki here and will likely come back for more, as well as to try their Korean walnut pastries!

    The taiyaki here is amazing! This dessert place is located within Zion Market and I highly recommend coming here even if you're not shopping. The service is excellent and the wait is only 10 minutes because the taiyaki is made fresh. I ordered two red bean and three nutella filled taiyakis They were a little crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside; there was also the perfect amount of red bean and nutella fillings added. I look forward to going back and trying other fillings!

    Love the name!!

    Cocohodo is a place you must stop in and get fresh walnut pastry and fresh Taiyaki!! Five flavors to choose! Red Bean, Custard, Taro, Oreo, and Nutella. Experiencing eating it right away when it comes off the grill. WoW!! This place is located "inside Zion Market to the left side where the food court is at". Excellent service and fun spot to take a break! Great ambiance and set so you can see them make it!! A great family business and great people!! Be back soon!!

    They are located inside of Zion market. We got 5 taiyaki for $9.99 (taxes included). Service was fast. It was freshly baked (took 7-8 mins) after we placed an order. You have the options for filling as well. They were good, kind of a little sweet but I guess, it is normal to the most of people. We will be back with more family!

    Highly recommend Cocohodo's Korean walnut pastry (Hodugwaja)! Located inside Irvine's Zion market along the back wall, Cocohodo is truly the perfect place to pick up some tasty snacks. They offer their signature walnut pastry along with taiyaki and even shaved ice. The walnut pastries can be purchased in either bags or gift boxes and in various quantity/size. I picked up the 36pc gift box ($20.50), and it was so nicely packaged. Freshly made every morning, these pastries were still warm in the box. The walnut pastries are bite sized cakes filled with sweetened red bean paste and walnut. The sweetness is just right to pair with a cup of tea to enjoy anytime!

    Very delicious!! Great service! Super fresh!! They baked them right there and they were still warm in the gift box! They wrapped the gift boxes very quickly and they're well presentable!! The most important part is... everybody loves them! My relatives truly enjoyed them.

    The walnut pastries are very tasty. They are not too sweet but the sweetness do get a little overwhelming after eating a few.

    The better half and I have sampled flavors from these carts on several occasions, but finally made…read morea purchase last weekend. Mustache Mike's actually has two carts at the Irvine Spectrum, one is usually located near Wood Ranch BBQ and Grill ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mustache-mikes-italian-ice-cart-irvine-2?select=9IW-XuY6hHdzN-0DRRBGVA#wey2nnujNXTuKAxefI29CA ) and the other is located near the Carousel and Red Robin. The latter sells beverages in addition to the Italian Ice and has a punch card, the other location only sells the Italian Ice. I have already tried Rita's Italian Ice and sampled Confetti Italian Ice and Custard, not really being impressed with either. I thought the custard was pretty good from both places, but the Italian Ice was a little lacking in flavor. Honestly, Rita's had a very foul after taste, that really disagreed with my palate. Mustache Mike's doesn't offer custard, but in my opinion you really don't need it because the flavors of their ice are good enough to stand on their own. Rohlinism: Sometimes the best ideas come from the application of the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) Rule! Mustache Mike's offers 6 flavors: ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mustache-mikes-italian-ice-cart-irvine-2?select=9IW-XuY6hHdzN-0DRRBGVA#YJL0NqxHAJ6LEOwhRxPF7Q ) Bada Boom Blue Razzberry Juicy Rancher (Watermelon, Lemon and Sour Apple Swirl) Big Daddy (Cherry, Orange and Pineapple Swirl) Manic Mango Root Beer Float Da Bomb (Cherry, Lemon and Blue Razz Swirl) The guy running the cart ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mustache-mikes-italian-ice-cart-irvine-2?select=9IW-XuY6hHdzN-0DRRBGVA#dosOjQrY5wh8fxpBi2nZeg ) offered us samples and after trying a few, my lovely wife settled on the Kids size Big Daddy ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mustache-mikes-italian-ice-cart-irvine-2?select=9IW-XuY6hHdzN-0DRRBGVA#9IW-XuY6hHdzN-0DRRBGVA ) and I went with Medium Da Bomb ( http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mustache-mikes-italian-ice-cart-irvine-2?select=9IW-XuY6hHdzN-0DRRBGVA#Bb8hyF-FWlOoh_IWyM2Gtw ). We both appreciated the fact the ice was piled high into the cup and truth be told, the Kids size would have probably been plenty for me, but I still managed to eat the medium. The ice itself had a very nice texture and the flavor ratios were excellent. One flavor didn't drowned out the others. We both enjoyed our ices very much with only critic being Kaya. I don't know if it was brain freeze, but she just didn't like the ice flavors. Another huge plus was the flavor didn't fade as the ice started melting and usually Laina will stop eating her desserts when it melts, but in this case she finished the whole cup. If you are looking for a great way to cool off during the summer at Spectrum, give one of these carts a try!

You know, that orange pineapple flavored monstrosity that would drip all over your face, chin, and hands as a child? I ate 4 spoonfuls and my teeth started to hurt. Way too sweet for my taste, so much so that I had to have water afterwards. Didn't get to eat enough of it to cool down so that didn't help much. I think this would be ok for those with a serious sweet tooth, but I won't be back.

None!! So then I searched the web & found Beach Bus Bistro!!! So I called Beach Bus Bistro to come to our Volleyball home games at Foothill High School... they were a HUGE HIT!!!! The girls loved them!!! I can honestly say her Chai Tea is the best I've ever had... I talked to a few people about the food... one girl said the burger was amazing... another said the hot dog was really good...every girl I talked to about the boba teas said they were really good...my youngest daughter got a strawberry lemonade...I tasted it...it was good... too sweet for my taste but she liked it a lot... a cool thing that Ms. Patti does is has you taste the drink in case it's too sweet or not sweet enough so she can adjust it for you...I think that's pretty cool...she also has shave ice...with flavors imported from Hawaii... Most of the drinks are under $5...well worth the price I will say though... & her truck looks like a little school bus...so cute... I was surprised she wasn't on yelp so I thought I'd add her... if you like Chai tea, & you see her open somewhere, try it...sooo yummy...so was the boba I got for my oldest daughter...whose idea it was in the first place to get a boba truck for the home games...

We had communicated to Patti over email and phone that the number of people was very questionable and subject to change. We set it at a tentative 50 people. I was clear that adults would eat more then one burger and there would be a need for a extra food. She only brought 10 extra burgers and not even enough buns. Buns were cold and not toasted. Kids were only allowed to eat the hotdog "kids meals" and did have an option to get a burger. Only one employee came as well. She was taking orders/ payment, making the food, and making the snow cones. She seemed very scattered. On top of that soda was included in the package we paid for, but on her truck she had a sign saying soda was $2, so our guest not knowing, felt as if they had to pay for them. We not recommend using them unless you have an exact number of people and what they will eat prior.

There is a salsa/toppings bar which has cilanto/ceboilla, mild-spicy salsas including pickled jalapeño/carrots. My favorite sauce is their chipotle - it's creamy and slightly sweet with a little kick.
