This place hit the spot on a hot summer day. We ordered the milk and mango swirl combination with custard inside the fish cone. We added fruity pebbles as another topping which gave it a nice crunch. I would recommend getting the upside down version where the ice cream is in a cup and the fishtail is like a topping. Makes for a fun picture!
A place for nice Instagram pictures but not too much different than any other frozen yogurt place. Also the fish cone looks cool but not practical because the soft serve seeps through it and leaks everywhere. Also get a cup with this to save yourself from the mess. The frozen yogurt is good but nothing fantastic. Toppings dont stick to froyo so just ends up falling off. Also this place is very busy and the employee that served me was very short & ready to go home. I would probably avoid unless you really want the picture.
Very busy but fast Somi Somi location. Like most of their locations there was only two people working but they really made it a pleasant experience. The line to order is tucked away to the far left, dont get confused and wait behind the people waiting for their orders on the right, we saw a few people do this and had to direct them to the right line. We enjoyed the strawberry flavor soft serve we hadnt seen at the other Somi Somis we have been to. Super refreshing. We didnt get a Taiyaki because we had just eaten lunch, but they looked yummy and crispy.The store could be cleaner, but with the heavy traffic and only two employees, it was enough to expect your Ah Boong nice and fresh which they delivered on!
I was so excited to try somisomi for the first time! it took me a minute to understand how to order and what to order. when i asked at the cashier to explain whats what, she gave me the are-you-kidding-me look, which was not too friendly for an ice cream place.what i ordered:ahboong (ice cream on fish waffle) with ube ice cream, taro filling and coconut flakes toppingahboong upside down (ice cream in a cup with fish waffle on top) milk ice cream, nutella filling and rainbow sprinkles toppingsoft serve in a cup - oreo ice cream with oreo crumbles toppingcold brew with milk ice creamthey were all really good! i loved my cold brew with ice cream. just imagine affogato, but 3x the sizewhat i didnt like much, aside from the customer service, was how fast the soft serve melt, esp if you just have the ahboong. it feels like youre just trying to beat the drippings. you cant eat it fast enough. so, i suggest go for ahboong for the gram, but then ask for a cup and spoon on the side!
This is my favorite strawberry soft serve . Its amazing
Clean friendly people fresh waffle fish love it here !
Ice cream is reasonably good (not as good as a botique ice cream shop but better than generic gas station ice cream), novelty of the swirl and Nutella “filling” is cool, etc. Would absolutely return here for ice cream again if in the area.Reason for four-star review would be the customer service. It’s an ice cream shop in a busy tourist area, so staff being a touch cold would be reasonable, but the cashier seemed very disinterested in doing their job. Had to repeat myself several times because they weren’t paying attention, etc. Person making the ice cream was very friendly.
Solid, but i think i like little damage better, somi somi sof serve has a little warmer temp and is gummier where as lil dmg is colder and more firm idk if that makes any sense but that is my experience
This is an amazing gem, and the ice cream is delicious - I can’t speak highly enough about this place. It’s worth a try and the Nutella filling was absolutely stunning. The options are plentiful - you should definitely go and have a bite. You’ll thank me later. You’re welcome in advance.
This place does not disappoint!! It is a little on the sweeter side, I couldn’t finish my soft serve. I got the ube, milk tea swirl with taro filling and topped it with fruity pebbles. It was heavenly! The waffle cone is placed on top right now so I just kept dipping it in my soft serve, it was warm and crunchy but soft inside. It was all so satisfying and very photogenic!!I got here just on time, right after I ordered, the line multiplied by 10!! It is definitely worth a visit! You will not regret this. Great way to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Smooth af. Affordable too. Def coming back
Cute ice cream and it’s so good! A must try
Great customer service and variety of toppings and flavors.
I ordered strawberry and Mango swirls with taro base. Soft serve, i.e. somi somi in a bowl as opposed to ice cream in fish shaped cone.Cashier told me for soft serve, it cost extra $0.50 for base. Sure, no problem.The people messed up my ice cream plating. First, the cups were too small to put taro filling. Second, he did not put the taro well. As a result, my ice cream was tilted and dripping when he handed it to me. Such incompetence! IF YOU CANNOT PLATE A BASE FOR SOFT SERVE ORDER, DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO CHOOSE BASE WHEN ORDERING SOFT SERVE! I feel taken advantage of. I feel as if they were unhygienic, unsympathetic.They acted as if it was my fault for ordering a base. NO! It is your fault for not knowing how to plate a soft serve order that includes a base! It is your fault for taking an order you DO NOT know how to make!Pink Berry was here before Somi Somi. It was better.
Although they are very busy most of the time, they are very quick and friendly.
Few delicious options done perfectly.
Honestly love the ice cream and the concept! Taiyaki with your choice of filling I got custard and milk ice cream with graham crumble it was amazing!!
Ice cream was good. Fish waffle was nice and chewy.
Great flavors, honeydew is the best! Friendly and great service.
I would give no stars if possible. But this place disappointed me. I went a couple times before and the taiyakis wasnt too bad, bud the customer service was terrible. I decided to give them another chance, and it was worst. Bad customer service and the taiyakis undercooked and unpropertly cutted. Definitely not going there again.
Somi Somi is a consistently solid dessert choice after enjoying one of Little Tokyos solid restaurants in the area. I particularly enjoy their soft service without the taiyaki, since Im often dealing with limited stomach real estate when it comes time for dessert!My favorite might be their ube, or ube / oreo swirl, with (complimentary) fruity pebbles and strawberry garnish. But you cant go wrong with matcha either!
The ice cream and the taiyaki are both delicious!!
So good. love the red bean and the strawberry ice cream!
Delicious taiyaki and soft serve!
Be careful because the fish will nut everywhere
This place is amazing customer service and all of that very good 🙂
New favorite dessert place! Ube is the best!
Great desert!
Very fun desert place. The ice cream was really good and the taiyaki was delicious. Make sure that you eat the taiyaki as soon as possible so that you get solid chunks of ice cream with the taiyaki filling.
Very yummy late night snack
It was so good and amazing at the same time and the waffle fish is just the best
Amazing coffee floats
Super creamy icecream and the fish is basically waffle/pancake mixture. Would have ate more if I wasn’t too full
Quick, and very yummy 😋
Really good! I recommend this place the cashier person was really polite and help me telling me what matcha was and milk tea.
Loved their fish shaped waffles specoally the cream cheese and nutella 😀
Very delicious
The employees are so rude
Amazing!
Love the taiyaki!!!
I love SOMI SOMI! I am not very found of soft serve ice cream but this is on another level! U have to try it!!!
Love it
Theres many fun combinations and options to try and each one is good !The taiyaki are served hot, fresh and soft and tasty. The Ice Cream are beautiful and as good as it looks, Smooth Creamy. Tasty. Not overly sweet. As Goldilocks would say just right !This place is really nice and clean and the staff are patient and nice.@TonyRyad
Tried matcha ice cream. Texture is so smooth and creamy. Delicious.
I love this place because my kids love this place. Ordered a custard oreo cookie and it was very good. A bit on the pricey side though. Only thing I wish I did is order the ice cream in a cup, with the fish thingy on top. Because I think the cone was warm, so my ice cream was meltig where it touched the cone. Also ordered some Nutella, custard, and red bean treats to go. Ill be back for sure.
It wes sooo good ☺
Great food but terrible service! the man who took our order was unhappy, didn’t smile once or look us in the eye when we asked him questions.
This place is like an official store. Compared to the one in K-Town
I love this placeIt was clean and the differentWill go back for sureI only wish they have a bathroom for customers
Always tasty and very fun
I love all of the flavors
Very tasty treat! Also very filling.

Luv sweet

Delicious!!
Good
Awesome place for a sweet treat. The ice cream flavors are delicious and the takiyaki was warm and crisp. Must try
Even though I shouldn’t do dairy I do. 😳Amazing place to hit up.Sadly it gets packed and the poor employees must get overwhelmed and it hurts my heart. 🥺
Its daiyaki.... on ice cream. Must I say more? If you need proof of why it has 5 stars. Show up and youll see why... its ALWAYS busy
The line is shorter than at the Koreatown branch, and its good to sit and eat in an empty lot near the store.
You can choose between topped and macaroon toppings for free! Its delicious, but its easy to spill when eating the last part of the tire. Tatyki and ice are excellent compatibility. It was delicious.
Very rich
Very good. restaurant! Highly recommended! Oh my god
