Taiyaki NYC
Japanese ice cream and taiyaki shop · 2+ locations · NYC, Boston
Fish-shaped ice cream cones made it a Chinatown landmark, and the brand spread as far as Miami and Toronto. It has since contracted to two shops, in Manhattan and Boston. Both are still founder-owned, with no outside investors on record.
The Big Picture
Taiyaki NYC is still owned by the people who started it in 2016, and its footprint has shrunk rather than grown, leaving the Chinatown original and one Boston shop. It names no suppliers and reports no environmental certification, and no outside investor appears in the public record, so the shops answer to their founders.
