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.

Came here to celebrate my birthday. I tried the steak and creamy pasta with a strawberry lemonade. Steak was perfectly medium rare, pasta was creamy. The lemonade was carbonated, so good and refreshing. My daughter got the strawberry matcha, she said it's one of the best. read more

Nice & clean aesthetic. We ordered two lattes and they were delicious. We also got an order of the burrata salad and baguette. Delicious. The baguettes were so good. Texture. Butter. Yum. We wanted to order more but the two pastas that we ordered did come with more baguettes. We ordered the carbonara & steak cream pasta. The sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. I would've liked it if it was more savory. But overall cute place. read more

The foods here looked really pretty online, so I knew I had to try this spot. I got the carbonara while my friend got the seafood pasta. Both were delicious, I would say the seafood pasta was on the spicy side, while the carbonara was on the creamy and heavy side. The interior was very nice and spacious and I love how kind and friendly the staff were. Definitely would come here to try their drinks next time. Fyi, they no longer do their 10%off for check in as the deal lasted until last December! read more

I came for a lunch and loved it! I was looking for something spicy with seafood and came across this spicy gamberry rose pasta. It was a delicious spicy rose cream seafood pasta. Very savory and filling. The restaurant is like a very clean modern coffee shop that serves full sized meals. The staff were attentive, and the service was fast. read more

New brunch place in La Mirada. Tried a couple different foods and they were all good. Steak pilaf was surprisingly very good. Loved the sauce for the omelette. You can also find traditional breakfast items but we chose to try different things. Pastas were very creamy but portion wasn't too big. Overall very cute cafe. They have soft serve ice cream and we got a cup as a service. Pretty good ice cream! Four stars though because the food or portion weren't not significantly memorable. But wouldn't mind visiting again. read more

Clean, attentive, reasonably priced, and good food. Came here 3 times in 3 months. Great new addition to the area! The only thing is the plates don't come out at the same time. Be prepared to wait if you want to start eating together. Also, the first time we came, some tables got complimentary ice cream at the end of the meal, so we asked, and they gave us 2. The 2nd time, they said we had to check in, but the machine was broken, and the 3rd time, the server had no idea what I was talking about. read more

Saw this place on instagram and thought it was gimmicky because of how aesthetic everything was but everything was surprisingly really good! Price point was reasonably priced and portions are huge. We got gamberry rose pasta (pretty spicy), beef tataki salad, and gambas (super hot so be careful). The shrimps inside the dishes were so fresh and flavorful. Recommend for a girls night or a date night. read more

This place is so cute! The inside is bright and clean. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks seem basic so we didn't order anything to go with our meal. The rose pasta was very very good! I wish I had asked for all peeled shrimp because trying to peel the shell on shrimp covered in cream was a hassle. The steak cream pasta is really good as well. We also should have asked for the steak medium rare as it came out medium. Portions are fair! read more

Love the food. Not too heavy and tastes yummy. One of the best pastas I have had. Love the Korean fusion pasta since I don't like things too heavy with cream and cheese. I want to come again and try their brunch. read more

Truffle mushroom pasta was delicious and the servers did great for only have two people to run the place. Will definitely go back. read more
Came here for lunch for the first time on a weekday. Tons of parking space. It wasn't that busy, but after 12p, more people started coming in. Plan accordingly. The waitresses were friendly and super sweet. We got their sweet chilli shrimp which was so good! A bit spicy for my taste but very delicious. It would have tasted better with a side order of rice. Maybe we will get that when we come back if it's an option lol. The burrata salad was good! I'd def order it again and ask for more bread with it. They were generous with the cherry tomatoes, which I love! Lastly, we got the creamy pasta steak which was my least favorite. It was good, but it wasn't the best in my opinion. I'd come back again for their other items on the menu! read more

It was somethin'! We like the food a lot and the service was awesome. The truffle fries were irresistibly good. The grilled pork sandwich was juicy. The tomato seafood pasta and the rice pilaf were both flavorful. The drink selection is good. We tried strawberry lemonade, peach black tea and dirty matcha. It had something for everyone. Definitely recommended. read more

I would give this place 3 1/2 stars if I could. My parents and I tried this place a few days ago and for the most part, it was very underwhelming, at least for me. The food we ordered was not quite what we were imagining. I will say we all ordered pasta, and I know that it's a basic dish so it's not a surprise that we were not "wow'd" by it. The pastas we ordered were good to eat and had a good portion, but it just didn't have anything special about it. Everything else was pleasant; the staff, the presentation, the cleanliness of the establishment etc. I would definitely go again, but try something else on the menu that I can actually have an opinion on. read more

I love korean fusion food & the pastas were exactly what I was craving. My boyfriend and I shared the gamberry rose pasta, steak cream pasta, and the rosé tteokbokki and all of them were rich, flavorful, and not heavy at all. The food is all so fresh with huge positions for a very good price. When I think about korean pasta this place is what I envision and would definitely come back again soon! read more

What a cute brunch spot in La Mirada. They're in the same plaza as the Burger King. I missed the shopping center and didn't see their signage. So look for Burger King and get into the same shopping plaza. This restaurant is a good size. You can come in with a large party (6 - 8 people) & find the table. The atmosphere is bright (white and light colored theme) & simple. Wish they had more comfortable chairs, but the plastic chairs weren't that bad. At first glance, the price seemed a bit too bougie. But after receiving the ordered dishes, I understood why. Things were prepared fresh. Ingredients tasted fresh and clean. Kimchi cream pasta - don't recall the exact menu name, but it's one of those fusion dishes that fails to achieve the taste mark that I usually avoid to order whenever I see them on the menu. I didn't want to be met with another disappointment, but I took the leap of faith and ordered it. It was the pasta that I was most impressed with. Perfectly cooked (al dente) pasta with great kimchi flavor (without being overpowering), not at all greasy or laced with msg & cream. The chef balanced the kimchi, bacon, & cream flavor very well. The burrata arugula salad - perfect with the pasta order. Those little red marbles (cherry tomatoes) marinated kinda sweet but went great with the fresh peppery arugula & soft burrata cheese! Basamic glaze topped off the salad and everything together was very refreshing and tasty. Mushroom soup - simple, creamy, & tasty.. Loved the butter toasted baguettes with the entrées. The only disappointed dish was the tteokbokki. It was rather too sweet & spicy for my taste. So, try Somethin', if you are looking for something new to have in this neck of the woods. I will be back to taste their other menu offerings. Service was friendly & prompt. read more

Update... came back again for the 2nd time since the 1st time was really a good experience. And this time we've tried more food, and glad that everything is still good as the 1st foods we've tried. Although we still stick with the same mushroom soup and had to get the choux latte again. It was busy but the service was still nice as they tried to accommodate the customers. read more
