My husband and I decided to try this restaurant for lunch today, and we're so glad we did! This place is a hidden gem. We started off by ordering drinks; I ordered the Dirty Matcha (coffee + matcha), and my husband tried the Somethin' Cream Latte. Both drinks were refreshing and delicious. Next we ordered our food; I ordered the Gamberry Rose Pasta while my husband chose the Bacon Kimchi Pasta. The pasta comes with a piece of baguette on the side. Both dishes were very unique, tasty, and full of flavor. We've never tried Korean fusion pasta before, and we were blown away by how amazing these combinations were. The ingredients they added work so well together and added so many new flavors. They are also very generous with their portions, which is an added bonus. The restaurant interior was clean, spacious, and had nice modern decor. We enjoyed the ambiance while dining. It wasn't too loud, and they had music playing in the background at a comfortable listening level. The staff were very friendly, polite, and had our food served to us quickly. We had a great experience and we're definitely planning on coming back soon!
Went here on a Saturday for brunch and it wasn't that packed yet. We ordered our usual - truffle mushroom pasta and mussel stew. We also tried the burrata salad for the first time. The truffle mushroom pasta wasn't as good as it used to be. It still has the same creaminess but the truffle flavor is lacking. The pasta was a bit overcooked too. For the burrata salad I wish they put at least 2 burratas for a better proportion. There were a lot of grape tomatoes and arugula for only one burrata. On a brighter note, the mussel stew was good - my son devoured it lol. The place itself is nice and spacious. It's a cute spot to eat and catch up with friends.
A cute spot with good food! I personally ordered the carbonara, which I found to be very flavorful. It was very creamy, somewhat sweet, and had bits of meat in it. I would recommend trying other pastas if you want something more savory! It took a bit for them to get our orders and to receive our food as all tables were filled, and they only had one person working the floor for most of the hour before the restaurant closed. Overall, they have an extensive menu and a simple, cute aesthetic. I love the idea of fusion foods, so I'm glad I got to try Somethin!
A modest cafe with okay food. Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Shrimp pasta was great and was the only plate we finished. Prosciutto brie toast had too much jam which made it cloyingly sweet for us, personally. The truffle fries were confusing. Truffle was not present -- La Croix is more flavorful than these fries. Many of the fries had an inconsistent fry on them, with one side being considerable more cooked than the other. The shrimp toast sando was unbalanced. Way too much salad, and too finely chopped made it structurally difficult to eat. The shrimp flavor was anemic to begin with, and was further overpowered by the overly sweet yuzu sauce on the bread, which also made it soggy. The side tomato salad was great, and we wished this also accompanied the prosciutto toast. I ordered cream latte at the tail end, and I am glad I did -- the coffee is the one thing I would come back for.
Simple looking cafe but food was delicious!! The pasta and prosciutto toast was 10/10. Waitress was extremely patient and friendly. I requested espresso over ice with a splash a milk and she totally understood the assignment. The vibes are cute. Nothing too special. I want to come back to try more pastas for sure.
The food was so good! The chicken was definitely spicy and the salad was a surprise hit. The pasta was also creamy and delicious but was overshadowed by the other foods. The interesting thing about this location is that it doesn't feel like a restaurant. The setup of the furniture gives more of a cafe vibe because the tables are not consistently the same and it's an open space. However, the process of sitting down and ordering feels like a restaurant because the pasta and meals take a while to prepare and because they are full meals compared to a snack. Gets pretty loud if there are a lot of people inside. Staff was helpful in advising that the chicken needed to be mixed otherwise it would burn. Even though they have an outdoor section, it was closed on a Saturday when I was visiting. Not sure if it open on other days, but it is not dog friendly.
The menu drew me in, but the food left a lot to be desired. It was fairly empty at 8pm, so thankfully we were able to get a table. Pretty and quiet ambiance with moderately dim lighting. The servers were quick to get our orders, bill, and offered recommendations. Both of our pastas lacked flavor. For a savory dish, the cream sauces were very heavy in cream flavor and lacked salt, seasoning, and depth. The parmigiano cheese- any cheese really- was undetectable in both pastas. Truffle mushroom pasta was incredibly bland, while the steak cream pasta was bland with a sweet aftertaste. For a savory dish, it was really disappointing. I could not finish my pasta. The very humble-looking steak, while small, thin, and oddly not having a sear/char (not super appealing), was pleasantly tender. The garlic bread, however, was the saving grace- nicely toasted and savory. My favorite was actually the caprese salad, but that's hard to mess up. It's a nice place for a last-minute date or meetup without making reservations. Menu impresses but the execution was not so great. Unfortunately, I would not come again.
I was not impressed with the korean italian fusion. It was very much lacking in the elements of korean food as their tteobokki (which is advertised on the menu as "k-food") was simply some form of marinara sauce and the vegetable was a sad take on kimchi. The mentaiko cream pasta was unremarkable. I'm not sure if they're better as a cafe but it's definitely not the place to go for Korean food. Service was fine and the decor was nice.
Somethin has been on my list since they opened, but it's not exactly near me, so I haven't had a chance to check it out until now. The menu is extensive, and everything sounded appealing, but I ultimately landed on the kimchi bacon pasta. The pasta was an explosion of flavor, combining the complex sour, spicy, and salty notes of kimchi with a rich and creamy pasta sauce. The simmered heavy cream based sauce works to temper the acidity of the kimchi, resulting in a bold and savory sauce that pairs perfectly with pasta. Kimchi pasta is one of my favorite fusion dishes, and the cooks at Somethin definitely do it justice. I also ordered a grape crush soju cocktail. The drink tasted like a grape Jolly Rancher, and it was absolutely delightful. So whatever you're in the mood for, you'll certainly satisfy your taste buds here at Somethin ;) ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.
Been here couple times and pasta is always good here. Last time I got the rose pasta and it was amazing. This time I tried something different and ordered tteokbokki and cream pasta. Surprisingly good mix. One thing is that it can get a bit chilly inside. Great during the day but not so much at night (could've been just me though). Staff is very friendly and plenty of parking at any time of the day.
How is this spot not all over social media yet?! It's giving understated elegance with a dash of Tokyo-meets-Scandi café energy. The aesthetic is minimalist in the best way--think clean lines, warm lighting, neutral tones, and just enough plants to make you feel like your life is more put together than it actually is. Basically, if Muji opened a restaurant, this would be it. The menu is equally impressive: Asian-inspired dishes with a modern twist, plus brunch staples and pastas that feel both comforting and elevated. I got the burrata seafood pasta (yes, I'm a person who orders cheese on seafood--no regrets) and the loaded nachos, and let me just say, the portions were comically large. Like, "why did I wear jeans" large. Coffees were solid--nothing overly fancy, but they paired nicely with the vibe and the food coma I was slipping into. Service was quick and low-key (bonus points for not being overly chatty before my caffeine kicked in). Prices were totally reasonable considering I left with both leftovers and inner peace. Parking wasn't a headache either, which in this city feels like winning the lottery. If you're into minimalist aesthetics, big portions, and food that makes your taste buds clap--run, don't walk.
Came here for the second time yesterday and it's just as good as I remember. Me and my friends each got our own Carbonara and shared the Parmesan Garlic Fries. The Carbonara we all agreed is the best we've had. It's so creamy and savory with the perfect amount of garlic, bacon, and onions. The fries were also delicious and perfectly thin and crispy. I especially loved the sauce it came with--really made it a stand out. It's not super garlic and cheesy though so if you're expecting something of that flavor, it's a bit more subtle. Service is always a 10/10 and the aesthetic is very modern, clean, and a great place to dine with friends. I'm already looking forward to coming back!
My friends and I came here for brunch a few weekends ago. I liked the fact staff answered any questions we had about the menu as some of us had dietary restrictions. I ordered one of the Korean street toasts, and really enjoyed the sandwich. Everything was so flavorful and satisfying. One of the others ordered the chop steak pilaf and that was so delicious. I will definitely come back in the future.

Restaurant is really cute and service and food were great! No wait on a Saturday night around 7. Ordered the steak cream pasta and the pasta was delicious, but the steak was a little underwhelming. Also got to try the gamberry rose pasta and was surprised that it had a good spice level. Would love to come back to try other dishes read more
The steak pilaf was delicious but the shrimp gamberi will forever be my go-to! And nothing beats their crisp carbonated fruit-ades : Somethin, 12740 La Mirada Blvd, La Mirada, CA 90638 : plenty of parking : so much seating but this spot gets packed highly recommend going right when it opens or at off times. I saw they have a @yelp waitlist podium set up! : $61.30 read more

I've been to this place twice to fully grasp how it's been. Positive: GREAT food. In quality, what you get for what you pay for, pricing reasonable are good! Each bite was a joy in a mouth. The place was well kept to be clean. Negative: There was one time me and my party came in probably an hour and 10 mins before closing time. We got sat and were informed they will do last call very soon. We were rushed to know what to order in a manner that we literally just got sat and was already asked what we wanted. We haven't even opened the menu yet. Lol? We felt rushed the whole time. So keep in mind that they do last call an hour before the end of business hours. An hour. That's crazy. Disclaimer: I also work in the same industry. I get it, maybe it's slow and they're trying to save labor costs, but if that's what they're gonna do, then maybe change the business hours? I don't know, man. That experience was not good. They have great food and would love to get it again, but the negative makes me have second thoughts to come back. read more

Lots of their menu items had either shellfish or pork, both of which I'm allergic to, so I ordered the burrata pasta. It was so yummy to me! The arrabiata pasta sauce was the perfect spice level for me and was perfectly balanced with the creaminess of the burrata. The crunchiness of the baguette was great for scooping the pasta sauce. Would totally get it again! The blue lemonade was literally blue lol. I thought it would be blueberry flavored lemonade, but it was more so blue colored syrup and some sort of carbonated lemonade. I'm not too sure. I don't think I'll order the blue lemonade again bc I'm not a fan of artificially flavored drinks, but it wasn't bad. Just not my cup of tea The one thing that threw me off was the small fork lol. I ordered a bigger fork bc my pasta kept slipping off of it. Service was great! The servers were so kind, warm, and welcoming. Atmosphere was very chill! Lots of conversations happening around us, which is very much my type of vibe. A perfect place for a friend date or to come with your family. read more
I came here because a friend recommended it to me. We ordered the Gamberry Rose Pasta and the Chop Steak Pilaf. The rose pasta and the fried rice were good with lots of flavor. They have drinks available too. It's a cute cafe and restaurant. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!! read more

saw this spot off tiktok and had low expectations. not a lot of spots that do korean/italian fusion that has both brunch & dinner options. has plenty of parking and inside has a nice simple interior. went on a monday afternoon and was pretty empty. after browsing their menu, decided to order the gamberry rose pasta and the meatball spaghetti. the meatball spaghetti seemed like a generic spaghetti but after tasting, the sauce tasted little more unique compared to a regular tomato sauce pasta. the gamberry rose pasta was amazing. little spicy and the cream sauce definitely compliments each other. the masago and shrimp also elevates the pasta dish. both has a good amount of food and was full just off one plate. the service was very good, and checked on our table very frequently as well. definitely will be coming again to try their other menu options! read more

We tried Somethin on a Friday night and there was no wait at all. We were really excited to try this place but we were kind of disappointed. We ordered the cream steak pasta and loved the pasta and the sauce, however, we didn't enjoy the steak. The flavor and texture was just not to our liking. We also tried the gambas and loved the bread!! The garlic and tomatoes in the gambas was also good and complimented each other perfectly. The atmosphere of the place was very casual and looks like a coffee shop, so it's a good place to catch up with friends. read more

We tried several dishes and the seafood cream pasta was the best. Octopus was also pretty good. Service was great and we liked the chill atmosphere. We loved the ice cream at the end of our meal with the color changing spoon. I would come again to try some of their other dishes. read more

Had the chance to check out this gem for a bday dinner! Walked in and it looks a little sus since it really looks like a boba shop or something. We made reservations for 730pm on a Wed and there really wasn't anyone there which made us a little worrisome. BUT once the food started coming, we were so happy and full at the end. My fav dish was the rose tteokbokki- it had so much flavor and the rice cake was cooked perfectly! The sauce was creamy with a little kick. The mushroom soup would be my 2nd pick. The beef tataki salad was the least favorite among the group. It was on the bland side. All and all I will be back to try more dishes!!! read more

Food was delicious~ I usually get the egg sandwich and kimchi pasta from two diff restaurants but somethin' has it all. Menu is diverse enough to satisfy everybody in the group - sandwich, pasta, rice, Korean fusion~ Def will be back to try other stuff from the menu. Service was great~ the waitress was so nice and kept checking in to see if there was anything we needed. 10 out of 10! Dinner, dessert, and coffee all at one place and parking was plentiful.

Somethin's menu has a wide array of options from brunch, to pastas, to drinks, and even some slightly more traditional Korean food. My girlfriend ordered the Mentaiko cream pasta, which included pollock roe fish and one big piece of shrimp. As its name suggests, it was very creamy, but the flavors were fairly mild and not overbearing. It closely reminded me of the white clam sauce pasta from The Spaghetti Factory, but with a more fishy taste. This option is a good choice for fish lovers who appreciate Korean accents in their food. I, however, ordered the Steak Cream Pasta without question. It also happens to be the owner's recommendation and their most popular item, solidifying that I have better taste than Aleenah. The steak was a prime beef cut with hints of balsamic glaze and butter and was cooked to about a Medium temperature. While it tasted good on its own, the steak contrasted very well with the sauce and noodles, balancing both creaminess and meatiness without being too salty. Both pastas however were fairly similar with the main difference being in the proteins and how "fishy" it tasted. PRICE BREAKDOWN: Mentaiko Cream Pasta: $20 Steak Cream Pasta: $26 RESTAURANT INFORMATION: Address: 12740 La Mirada Blvd, La Mirada, CA 90638 Hours: Open daily, Monday through Sunday 9 AM - 3 PM, 4:30 PM - 9 PM Reservations: Accepted, but typically not needed for small parties Parking: Lots of available free parking in plaza Website: https://www.somethinoc.com/ The staff was very friendly and were able to bring out our food very quickly. The interior had a cafe-like and cozy feel and looked like a place I would want to study if I were smart. Somethin' brings an intriguing fusion of the fairly niche blend of Korean and Italian flavors to La Mirada, making it worth a try if you're in the area. If you can't decide what you feel like between the two cuisines or feel like something completely unique, this place is for you. They also have a wide array of brunch options and drinks, so there's Somethin' here for everyone (cringe). However, in this economy, we only ordered one thing each, so we didn't get to try any. We have however heard fantastic things about their French toast.

Th workers are very nice and warm. Lunch ends at 2pm, but we were still able to stay and order drinks. They are super nice! The food is also good- the pasta had a great balance of flavor and the garlic bread is so crispy! The salad was very clean and fresh- I would recommend coming here for a small brunch,on the go. read more

I felt like something different, so I looked up on Yelp to find one of the newer restaurants in the area. I saw there was a restaurant named Somethin' that looks like Korean-American-fusion-coffee shop type of place so I thought I would give it a try. Since I was not super hungry, I just decided to try one of their cheaper items just to see how the place was. I chose the chili nachos, and I was surprised by the nice presentation--it had a large chip and dip bowl with a well containing the hot nacho cheese in the center. I like that it was not too spicy, but very flavorful. I only wish that I would've tried the Bulgogi sandwich that I saw later as I was eating and taking a deeper look at the menu. The service was very good, the weight staff was very attentive and friendly, and it had a very comfortable atmosphere with music playing in the background not too loud and not too soft. The place is very fresh and clean, looking, and the sound did not seem harsh. I almost forgot! I also tried an iced banana latte, and it is so good. The flavor almost reminds me of a frozen banana with how the coffee and banana taste worked together. I definitely will get one again if I'm in the area.. read more

Somethin is something that is worth to try. The food that we tried tasted all great . We tried their Seafood tomato pasta which has a good amount of seafood like mussels, cuttlefish, shrimp and scallops. It has a well balanced taste of sweet, sour and spicy. We also tried Mentaiko Cream pasta, it was so delicious. You can taste the garlicky seafood in it. The Beef chop steak is the bomb! The Bbq sauce nailed it! We also tried their somethin cream latte, personally I love it The service is great! people there are very friendly and helpful. Andrew is very accommodating. The ambiance is very is nice, bright and clean. You cannot smell what they are cooking inside their kitchen so you will not wear the food that they cook. read more

Their kitchen is closed from 3pm-4:30pm on Sunday So I couldn't try any of their food :( I wish I knew that before I drove all the way there. I got a somethin cream coffee since I was already there but I wouldn't get it again. It's supposed to have condensed milk in it but it's not sweet at all and quite bitter. It wasn't the most enjoyable coffee experience. My friend got the peach fizz tea and it was super refreshing! It would've paired well with some food if their kitchen was open... I didn't like how echo-y the restaurant was. I could barely hear my friend who was sitting right next to me because it was just so loud. There weren't many customers but their voices reverberated so much I didn't like it. Not the best spot to talk and catch up with a friend. I would give this place a 2 stars but it's a new spot so I want to give it some leniency... Hopefully the next time I go, it will be better. read more

Somethin is a quaint, local brunch spot that serves a variety of food! I got the tomato seafood pasta and also the cream seafood pasta. The portions are very filling and each pasta dish came with a bread that paired so well together. The workers were so friendly and our food came out pretty quickly! The interior was well decorated and there is plenty of parking in the parking lot outside! There aren't too many tables inside, but the wait wasn't too long! Very cute brunch place and also very nice to take pictures with your friends~ read more

I came upon this place as I was looking for brunch places near me and decided to take my mom on a daughter/mom date. We ordered bulgogi quesadilla, tomato seafood pasta, and shrimp ceviche. We didn't expect the plates to be full portions as I was under the impression that the place was more of a cafe than a restaurant. Despite the larger portions, we finished everything as all plates were very delicious. (the tomato seafood pasta may be spicy for some people). I also ordered the dirty matcha latte, and it was very flavorful and not watered down like other cafes. The servers were very attentive and very friendly. I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to everyone around me. TDLR: great place for brunch/casual eats, great ambiance, and friendly servers read more

Food was okay nothing terrible and nothing amazing. The carbonara was sauce was too much and heavy. The chili nachos were cold, tasteless and chips were stale. Shrimp was the only good item but just very spicy. The service on the other hand was terrible. The server charged me for the wrong tab 3 times! I know it's a hold on the card for 3 days, but to have a $180 hold on my card is not fun to have. The server seemed lost and it amazing how his co-worker and manager did nothing to help or make it right. The other staff just sat there and acted as if it wasn't their business. The server was nice and all, but the entire staff could've done a better job to fix the problem instead of having to charge me 4 times... Overall would not recommend. read more

Had the Burrata Pasta and Gamba . Both delicious. Gamba has a spicy kick to it ( would be great with some linguine) . The service was very attentive and food served hot and quickly . Maybe add a bit of ambiance with some flowers on table ? Everything is white and has a bland vibe , but certainly that wouldn't prevent a return visit . Just a suggestion to ownership read more

Fresh twist on simple classics such as ham and cheese sandwich. The pork breakfast sandwich was perfectly balanced - not too sweet not too salty. Just right. Very clean place.

The food was delicious! I was on a diet when I came here but had to make an exception because all of the pastas sounded so good. The service was excellent. I love that they give you bread with the pastas so that you can dip them in the sauce. You can tell that they cook with love here. Will definitely return and recommend to my friends and family. read more

I was so excited to try a new Korean Fusion restaurant in the area. The restaurant itself was very white inside and clean and feels modern. Overall feel of the place is great. The girls working were nice and doing their best. We had the yuza and peach drinks and they were a little too sweet but good. The food was mediocre. Here's what we ordered: Kimchi Bacon Pasta was creamy and good but nothing special. They also had a slice of baguette that came with it but it was burnt. (See picture) The Ttuk Bok Gi was not spicy at all and was actually kind of bland. My friend who is non-Asian even said that it was not spicy and was disappointed. The Asian chicken Salad came with a tiny chicken breast but the dressing was actually really good. For $17 you would expect a great looking salad. Overall, I think I expected more from this place. Also, they didn't have chopsticks!! The Korean in me could not eat ttuk bok gi with a fork but unfortunately they didn't have any. This was what caught me for surprise though. I think I must be spoiled with OC tax because tax was also 9.5%! Whew! I think for the price of the food vs quality it's on the overpriced end. Also, they asked us to leave our table at the end because I guess we sat for a little too long for their liking and supposedly they had a reservation. We were only there for a little over an hour. That was not very nice especially since I know a few people who went couple days prior and sat for hours and never being asked to leave. read more
