Not surprised, because I expected it to be pretty awesome. The ice creams were delicious and the fish-shaped red bean waffle was really yummy. The shape of the waffle makes it fun to eat and the jokes that come with it (granted if you have the right company) makes the experience all the better! Small shop, but there is a table that could seat 5. There are other savoury street foods on the menu and you can actually buy the red bean waffles separately if you want to snack on them later. read more

Red Bean Waffle House - Mango and green tea ice cream. - Desserts Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

So apparently these are the same people who make the bungeoppang right in front of the Shoppers Drug Market near Yonge and Finch. I've bought their bungeoppang at their little stand previously and have always loved their stuff. This little shop is located across the Centrepoint Mall, in the plaza with the TD Bank. The parking lot can get quite busy at the front of the store. You can find more parking at the north side of the plaza where the receiving and shipping area is (at the stop sign where the country butcher shop is, turn in to find more parking). So today I was pretty psyched to finally try some ice cream in a fish waffle cone; its about the cutest thing I've seen in dessert in a while. The cone itself is so cute yet sturdy. I would say it's not soft like their bungeoppang, which I really wish it was the same. It's actually more of a thicker denser waffle cone. And, at the tail end of the cone there is some red bean filling. It's a good sized dessert for 5$ and definitely shareable if you don't have too much of a sweet tooth. Pro tip: pay in cash for no tax. They do accept credit and debit too though, just you got to pay tax. What's also really cool is their nutella-filled bungeoppang (4 pc. for 5$). So delicious! Especially if you love Nutella. I kind of wish there was more seating available. It's hard to enjoy ice cream in a waffle cone on a cold day in April in Canada. There were only 2 small tables and 4-6 chairs available and the place can get quite crowded. I'm sure this place will be busy during the warmer seasons. read more

This place is super under-rated! They make their ice cream fresh and the flavours are so good. Favourites were: sesame and mango. Legit ingredients and none of the fillers / definitely not loaded with sugar. The red bean ice cream waffles were filled to the brim and such a good deal for $6 :) You can mix and match any flavours. read more

The concept was not bad, but I think it doesn't extend too far from just a concept. The waffle unfortunately was extremely cold so it became hard to eat (who eats cold waffles?) and the ice cream unfortunately was very basic green tea ice cream, similar to the no name green tea ice cream at a supermarket. The rice cakes were so spicy my mouth was on fire. I don't think many people can handle that kind of spice. Good effort though. read more

Who eats patbingsu when its -23 outside? Me! Like after many dinners, I was in need of something sweet. I debated going to a dessert place along Yonge, but decided to check out places along Steele. This small shoppe is located in a fairly busy restaurant filled plaza. It has limited seating, as most of their business is takeout of those cute fish shaped goodies. I almost ordered one, until I saw patbingsu on the chalkboard menu! Had to order it! It's about $10 and worth the price. A mountain of shaved ice, topped with red bean, vanilla ice cream, condensed milk, and fresh fruit. The lady who owns/runs the place is really sweet too. She giggled when she saw my boyfriend and I destroying it. Now I know where to go when I miss Korea and want that deliciously refreshing dessert. read more

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. read more

Red Bean Waffle House is a humble Korean snack shop known for their fun fish shaped waffle cakes (aka. Bungeoppang), filled with red bean paste (6 for $5) or even Nutella (4 for $5). It is run by the same folks behind the amazing Korean food cart by the Shoppers Drug Mart at Yonge and Finch (the only successful and remaining active food cart from the failed and forgotten 'Toronto a la Cart' street food program). They don't hide that fact at all, with pictures of that cart posted above your head as you wait for your goodies while a Jays game blares from the TV. The Kims do serve some of their food cart yummies like squid balls here as well. But what is attracting people to the fringes of North Koreatown (to the point you're technically in the 905), are the ice cream stuffed in those fish shaped waffles. For $5, the variety of flavours to choose from is small (vanilla, mango, green tea, black sesame, chocolate), but well presented: the fish literally screams ice cream! The crispy fried waffles certainly makes for a better cone than your average traditional ice cream cone. Concept is fun enough just to try! It is located in a nondescript plaza in 100 Steeles West, right across from the Centrepoint Mall's Canadian Tire, literally the first traffic lights west of Yonge Street. The parking lot is laid out in a stupidly frustrating way. Luckily for TTC riders the 60 bus stops right at this intersection. The shop itself has only a table, and nobody owning the commercial strip has won an award for not providing benches on the property. read more

I'm not a big ice cream fan but their brown sugar pancakes gave me that kick which I needed. Mind you it's a tiny little shop with limited space for the patrons but quite worth the visit for the sugar rush. A word of advice, parking is just horrendous in the plaza which this place is situated within. Try the back if you fail to find a spot within the central region. The plaza is directly located across from Centerpoint Mall on the north side of Steeles Avenue. read more

Best ice cream treat :) Red bean waffle house has some of the best ice cream, not because it's extremely unique or delicious, just because of the overall experience this little ice cream shop provides, just makes you feel all nice and happy inside. And when I say little ice cream shop, I mean little. It was actually kinda hard to spot while looking for it in the plaza. When you find it and enter it, it's the tiniest shop you could imagine, which kinda sucks if you wanna sit there and eat (I opted to eat in the car). Back to the review, for what you get, the price is amazing. One portion of ice cream is really filling or a great treat to share. They have five flavors of ice cream which are all delicious. Presentation of the ice cream is great (especially if you plan on instagramming it). As well, service is nice and friendly, quick as well. I always come here is I'm looking for a sweet treat to sit and chat around. I love this place! (There are other foods on the menu but I only ever come here for ice cream) read more

Red Bean Waffle House - Yum :) - Desserts Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

Me and my friend happened upon this small store one cold Saturday morning. When we entered the house the staff greeted us and was very welcoming. We got both the red bean and custard waffles. They were both super delicious and hot when we received them. The waffles were both crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the filling wasn't too sweet and was just the right amount. I could honestly eat them everyday forever. This is a lovely shop to visit with friends and family. 10/10 would come back again to try the other items on the menu. read more

I had a red bean waffle and a red bean waffle ice cream. The waffle was perfect - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The red bean paste was also not too sweet. The ice cream was of good quality (I got strawberry and green tea) but it does overpower the cone. I loved having the fish tail stuffed with red bean though :) very small place with only 4 seats so not ideal for big groups read more

I wasn't really impressed with this dessert store as I saw this on blogto and made me want to come. The waffle was kind of on the stale side in my opinion and the ice cream was your basic green tea, Red Bean or mango from the tub. I've eaten better red bean fish waffles I wouldn't order it alone in my opinion. Prices are decent if you wanted the basic flavors of ice cream but have to pay a bit more if you want the the ginger or black sesame flavors. The store also sells other snack foods but I didn't get to try it so I'm basically reading my review on the red bean waffle ice cream that I ate presentation was very nice just like other photos but maybe that's just what it is a photo op. read more

The red bean waffles are great. This place is a little small but the waffles taste great in my opinion. Not too sweet and so fresh. Taste even more delicious in cold winter days! I wanna try their pancakes next time. Looks so yummy! read more

Grabbed a few snacks cuz I was in the area. One off the bookmarks list! Huzzah! Had the pan fried rice cake skewers ($5/4) - Definitely had crisp edges. I had half of mine spicy and half of mine sweet. The sweet ones still have a slight spice kick to them. Be careful. These can get messy. For $5, it's not cheap, but it isn't ridiculously expensive either. Also got the red bean fish cakes ($5/5) - These weren't made to order, but they were still warm when I ate them. I prefer Galleria's. These ones are smaller and there's a creaminess that I find in Galleria's red bean paste that I don't find in these ones. These ones are still good though. Hotteok ($5/3). These were magical. I've never had fresh hotteok before. Think of this as a dough ball filled with cinnamon sugar and then pressed flat while being cooked on a flat top so that they're pancake shaped. These were made to order. I watched as the lady grabbed dough out of a container, then put sugar in them. There's something lovely about watching someone make food properly. I had one within 3 minutes of her putting them into a box (she separated each one using parchment paper so they wouldn't stick). The sugar on the inside was all melted and gooey and delicious and the outside was crispy. It was also scalding hot. It was cold and raining when we came yesterday, so I opted out of the ice cream fishes, but next time, I'm thinking of getting that, or their shaved ices/patbingsoo ($7.99), or going back to the hotteok, cuz those were amazing. read more

The fish-shaped waffle with 2 scoops of ice cream is worth the $5 dollars. However, in general, I might have put high expectation on it prior my arrival as I think the taste was very decent. The ice cream is generic as it is the same kind you get from those AYCE sushi place, not like homemade ice cream. The fish waffle was not hot and crispy as it was pre-made and left on the stone. It would be different and gets more stars if they were freshly made and hot. The red bean filling is placed at the tail part of the fish waffle and it was just a small portion of red bean. I also ordered the spicy pan-fried rice cake and I think it was decent. The spicy sauce is made of gochujang paste that you could easily make it home. Overall, it is a great place for Korean streetfood. I do recommend if you wanna try out their Taiyaki ice cream. I think I will come back, but not as a regular customer. read more

Very disappointed. Went there just for the fish like waffle. Definitely not fresh. Most likely pre made. I guess I was expecting batter tasting like the Chinese ones like whoofles. Big mistake. And ice cream is nothing but regular store bought frozen hard ice cream. First and last time. read more

Came here to try the fish shaped egg waffles with ice cream. This is a small shop located at the plaza across from Centrepoint mall. I decided to try the waffle with green tea and red bean ice cream. I loved the presentation of it as the fish waffle is cute and they decorate it with sprinkles and a pocky stick. But in terms of taste I felt that it was just average. The waffle is cute but I think it would have been better if the waffle was freshly made and hot as my waffle was somewhat hard and that made it hard to taste the egg flavour. Probably one somewhat unique thing about the waffle is that there is a small portion of red bean paste inside it nesr the tail end of the waffle. In terms of the portions they give a generous serving of ice cream and the ice cream is not bad. You have to eat it quick though and maintain a good balance of the ice cream scoops so it does not fall off the waffle. In terms of the service it was pretty quick. There is one table inside that can seat 4 people. Despite the waffle being somewhat hard I still think this is a nice place to come by to grab some ice cream on a hot humid summer day. read more

Walked by after having dinner at a near by Korean BBQ restaurant. My kids want to have dessert so, we decided to give the red bean waffle ice cream a try. the idea of using red bean fish waffle in place of cone; it's unique. It comes with 2 scoops of ice cream ( you can ask for mixed scoop). We had chocolate & red bean. The ice cream is yummy and the waffle is warm and crunchy when you first get it. However, if you don't eat your fast, your waffle will get kinda chewy after it turn cold. read more

Red Bean Waffle House is a tiny restaurant with 2-3 tables that specializes in ice cream and waffles. I came here after seeing some awesome photos of fish-shaped waffles with a mouthful of ice cream. I came here on a warm weekend afternoon to indulge myself. I ordered a waffle with red bean and mango. The waffle was hot off the grill, so the ice cream melted fairly quickly. It's definitely not a place to look elegant while eating. I wish these came in bowls to catch the melted ice cream that oozes out. I wish there was a washroom so that I can wash my hands afterwards. The ice cream was very tasty as was the waffle. However, the hot mess makes it less than appealing after the first experience. read more

Very good quality ice cream! I particularly enjoyed the ginger ice cream as it has chunks of candied ginger in it! I was also pleasantly surprised to discover red bean in the fin of the waffle cone. Prices were on the pricy side ($4-$5ish) but the cones were worth it! Will definitely be coming back again! read more

My heart was broken after experiencing Red Bean Waffle House. When I saw it's grand opening, I had bookmarked it here on Yelp for hopes in the future for me to try it when I was in area because it's a bit of a drive for me. Sadly, it wasn't worth the drive. Not worth it at all. My only comparison to taiyaki treats is when they used to have that super delicious taiyaki stand at Galleria Supermarket. And I continually told myself that I would go for it again .... But Galleria had seemed to close it down. Though I haven't gone in a while, so maybe it's back? I dropped by here at RB Waffle House, and it was just my fiance and I. It's a very cute, very homey small spot. I had gotten the taiyaki and my fiance got some nutella fried rice cake or something. We were told 10 minutes, so we hung outside. To my knowledge I thought i was getting a super fresh, super hot taiyaki treat off the waffle making machine. But nope ... Apparently they pre-make them, which you can view from the front, but in all honesty. I thought it was just for display to show people what they looked like, and the size of them. God how disappointed I was. So very very disappointed. My fiance's Nutella rice cake thing seemed better, but it was very lackluster of the amount of Nutella in it. Which confused us to no end. Since both sides of the rice cake were very thick for what it exactly was. In all honesty, I don't think I'd be willing to go back here. Friendly service, but it's just very ... Meh. read more

This place kept popping up on my yelp page, and I'm glad it did! For $5, you get your choice of select ice cream (can get 2 different flavours) packed in a red bean waffle shaped like a fish. For $6, there are some premium flavours like sesame ice cream. The green tea ice cream was smooth and rich in flavour. Paired with a crispy and sweet waffle, it was delicious! I'd come back for a treat here once in a while. read more

The store is small and does not have a lot of seats. BUT the fish pancake with ice cream was really good!

I barely can finish it. It's good for two people share one fish pancake with ice cream. read more

Came here twice now. Got the red bean fish waffle $5 for 5. Was fresh and still hot. They have new flavors now too but it is more costly and can't get it as a package of 5. I believe they have custard as the new flavor. They sell a variety of other hot savory food and of course ice cream stuffed into a fish waffle. It is too cold each time for ice cream but I will be back I summer to try it. As it looks so good. read more

Loved the creaminess of the ice cream and the warm waffle cone that it is served in! Bonus points because it looks like a fish which is super cute!! Only thing I didn't appreciate was that the cone had dry dust particles which probably resulted from not cleaning the waffle maker properly- had to keep picking these out which was kind of a dealbreaker! read more

The ice-cream fish waffle was mediocre. The "cone" was somewhat tough from sitting on the counter, and the ice-creams (green tea & sesame) were generic. The red bean paste (near the end of its tail) was nothing special either. If I do go back, it would be for their Bungeoppang, which tastes the same as the ones in Korea. read more

Whoever came up with this idea is a genius! I mean, ice cream is always delicious, but for some reason eating it out of a fish-shaped pastry is infinitely better. The selection of ice cream flavours at this shop is not super extensive - mostly basic flavours like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, red bean, green tea, mango, etc. but they do try to get a little bit exotic by offering ginger, black sesame, and coconut. You get two scoops of ice cream to put in your fish waffle, and you can pick two different flavours. I got coconut and ginger and both flavours were so so good and also blended surprisingly well! The coconut had actual chunks of coconut in it, which was a pleasant surprise. The flavour was light and tropical and super refreshing. I was also pleasantly surprised by the ginger, because it was a lot less sharp than I had expected. But it worked for me because it also had a slight sweetness to it which I really enjoyed. The fish waffle in this case is basically like an ice cream cone - it has a nice crispiness to it and there is a little bit of red bean paste in the tail. If anything I'd say I wish the waffle was a little bit warmer and softer, but I see how that could create a problem with the ice cream. The whole thing is decently large, and considering you pay either $4.44 + tax or $5.55 + tax (depending on which flavours you get), is an extremely good deal - definitely one of the cheaper dessert items I've had like, anywhere, and even cheaper than most basic ice cream places. I am thoroughly impressed and honestly just can't get over how cheap it is for what you are getting. Wish I lived closer so I could come here more often to get my ice cream fix! They also have just the fish waffles (without ice cream) in red bean or nutella flavour and Korean pancakes. read more

Red Bean Waffle House - Fish waffle with coconut and ginger ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

We were excited to try this place as we had never been before, but saw it as we were eating dinner at another restaurant. They primarily serve korean shaved ice, ice cream in the fish pastry and korean dessert pancakes. We went to order the korean shaved ice only to be told that they hadn't made any that day; which was a huge disappointment. So we decided to get the ice cream. You get to choose between two flavours and it's served on a fish shaped cone. The lady informed us that they had run out so she said she would the ice cream in cups, and give us the red bean fish cakes for free. We ordered three and it came to $21. We chose chocolate, vanilla, coconut and mango. The ice cream was decent but it was the red bean fish cakes that were the bomb. It has the right combination of chewiness and crunch that made the dessert so good. Definitely recommend foregoing everything else and just getting that. I have tried a lot of different kinds, but this was the best by far. Wish I had gotten the chance to try the pancake! read more

The ice cream fish waffles here are so crunchy and thick that I devoured it faster than I expected. We stood and ate outside because the shop smelled greasy due to poor ventilation and small space so don't expect comfy seating. I guess the treat is geared to children because I did not really care for the cookies on top, but I would eat it again :D Love how some Korean folks walked pass us as we ate and they literally slowed to stop and stare at the dessert with their gaping mouths. Must be something they all know and enjoyed but haven't had for a loooong time. read more

This is my second time writing a review for the Red Bean Waffle House because somehow my review "dissapeared"... I saw this establishment recommended on BlogTO for their fish shaped waffle cones. I wanted to love this place so much and even drove out of the way for them. Unfortunately, when we arrived there we were highly disappointed. The establishment I believe is family owned and the restaurant itself is very small. The woman who works there wasn't very friendly. I only say this because we weren't greeted nor did she even look up at us when placing our order, and the boy was very quiet and had no expression. We both ordered the Fish Shaped Waffle Cone with Black Sesame ice cream. When we finally received it, the cone was cold, dry and hard. You'd think it had gotten cold because of the ice cream but prior to arriving they had quite a few pre-made cones, and they were evidently sitting for quite awhile. Also, considering they're called the RED BEAN waffle house the red bean was almost virtually nonexistent with a miniscule amount hidden at the bottom of the cone. The desert was very difficult and hard to eat, in general because of the stale hard texture and it was very messy. The ice cream was mediocre at best but nothing spectacular. This desert is more for the aesthetics than anything. I would only reccomend this place if your looking for a cute Instagram or Snapchat photo. Otherwise, don't waste your time or money and get the Ice Cream Waffle cake from Pacific Mall or make the trip to Korea Town, Downtown. However, I guess it's worth a try for novelty and picture purpose, yet I personally will not reccomend or be coming back. read more

Came here after dinner one night, and was underwhelmed by the fish waffle ice cream. It's definitely instagram worthy, but the fish waffle was cold and stale, tasted of oil. The two scoops of ice cream was very generous, but too much to finish even when shared. Was hoping for a red bean surprise at the end so we scooped one ice cream out, but there was only a bit of red bean. The red bean waffle at the bottom were the best two bites of the entire thing. Will not return. read more

Same owner as the korean snack street stall in front of shoppers at yonge and finch, this place delivers the same taste and quality as the other location. The red bean fish dessert and ho-deuk soo good! They are the two best sellers. They also have red bean fish dessert with ice cream that looks interesting. Only because the fish shaped bread has its mouth open and that's where the ice cream is placed. The only down side is that they dont offer as much item as the street stall. Which is weird because this is an actual restaurant. I hope they will change this soon. Overall I do like coming here more than the street stall because the lines are shorter and you can park for free. read more
