first time trying Somisomi, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it was such a great choice! I ended up getting the upside down with a cup of cookies and cream, ice cream, cream, and a Nutella filled taiyaki and some fruity pebbles and a macaroon included. it was clean and had a large area for seating. my order came out very quick and there was only one worker, she deserves a raise!! shoutout to her

Visited at 6:15 on a Sunday. The wait was so long, they locked the doors and stopped taking order for 30 mins+. We were one of the last orders before they locked doors/cut off orders and it took 30 mins to get two upside down ice cream cups. So I would be aware coming if you are expecting to get in and out quick. Hoping when the new Plano location opens, this one won't be as busy! I've come before right before close (10:45pm) and it took 5 mins so maybe that's the better time to visit.

Soft serve with taiyaki
Kathy P.

This dessert shop specializes in soft serve and taiyaki, fish shaped waffles. The store is bigger than expected and has a lot of seating! Don't be deterred by the queue it draws, it moves rather quick. They have several classic soft serve flavors and swirls they offer at limited time, as well as several fillings for the taiyaki. I got the ube/matcha swirl in a cup with taiyaki filled with black sesame. You get to choose toppings as well - I opted for oreo crumbs and a strawberry. My friend got the banana chocolate swirl soft serve. The ice cream itself is pretty tasty with a nice, smooth texture. The banana was a bit artificial tasting. But otherwise, the soft serve and taiyaki combo is great. Smooth soft serve served with a warm fluffy waffle.

Ahboong Oreo Soft serve Oreo and Ube

My second time here, but a different location. So my boyfriend got the Ahboong (upside down) with custard filling and Oreo ice cream. The Ahboong tasted like a really fluffy pancake and the custard filling was yummy and had the perfect consistency. The Oreo flavor was good too, but seemed like a basic chocolate flavor. What's good is that you can put Oreo crumbs on it, so that made up for its lack of Oreo. I got the soft serve in a cup with Oreo and Ube flavor, which was so good. It was a perfect combination of the Oreo and Ube. Not too sweet and the Ube wasn't overpowering. Definitely a must flavor to try. Overall, a very yummy and happy experience!

Ube is my fav! Definitely try that one! Stop late at night and not a lot of people in and great service and tastes great!

Oreo soft serve with Oreo dust
Jennifer B.

Stopped in for a cool treat because it's scorching outside. I wasn't really sure what taiyaki was but I wanted to find out. Turns out it's a fish shaped cake/pastry that gets filled with red bean paste or a custard. Looks pretty interesting but I think I'll come back to try. My grandson and I both got a cup of Oreo flavored soft serve. I got Oreo dust on top and he got fruity pebbles on his. It was really yummy for us both. We enjoyed it inside as there was plenty of seating and the a/c was blowing strong. If you stop in the menu is pretty simple and the staff will explain how it works if you have questions. Cashless pay at the register and retrieve your order on the side. You have a few options for the taiyaki like Nutella etc so I'll have to head back to give that a try.

I love somisomi as a sweet treat after a meal! This is located the Koreantown plaza so parking can be difficult especially during the weekend. Somisomi is always packed but the service at this location is very quick. Everything is made fresh from when you order it and you can see them make the orders while you wait. There is also a small seating area at the back to hang out with friends although, the place is very loud.

Love me some somi somi. The food is always hitting the spot and ice cream is sooo creamy and smooth. They always get busy (especially on the weekend) but the staff do a great job of organizing orders and making sure people get their food in a timely manner. Tons of casual seating inside and outside to enjoy as well as shops in the complex to walk around afterwards. 10/10 must try!

I love somisominso much!

Honestly, I love this place way more than I expected to. I used to think it was just a gimmick, but it's actually such a fun experience. The ambiance is clean and minimal, but it can get packed fast. Even with a long line, service was crazy quick -- I barely finished ordering at the self-checkout before they were already calling my name. The ice cream itself? So good. I loved all the filling options, the fish-shaped waffle cone was great, and the custard filling was easily a highlight. Being able to add a macaron on top plus all the free toppings just makes the whole thing even more fun. The price is a little iffy, but as a treat? Totally worth it.

Matcha soft serve and taiyaki
Joelex D.

Need a something to cool you off during the hot summers? This place brings tasty Japanese treats and flavorful matcha soft serve together as a great paring. Ordering is pretty simple, you can either order via kiosk or a staff can help you. They are friendly and they make the taiyaki in front of you, which is always fun to watch. The filling of the Taiyaki is great with Nutella and the crunchy exterior really helps with the texture. The soft-serve matcha was great, it really had the matcha flavor and sweetness I like. You can get it with toppings, we did Oreo which is a favorite of ours. Great for individuals or for sharing. There are seating areas inside and they have self service water available.

Ube soft serve
Kristian S.

A little taste of Hawaii, especially if you love ube I tried ube ice cream for the first time in Hawaii, and I've been chasing that flavor ever since. Somi Somi is the only place I've found stateside that consistently offers ube year-round, and for that alone, it's worth the visit. The ube soft serve is creamy, lightly sweet, and has that distinct nutty, vanilla-like flavor that makes it so unique. Paired with their signature fish-shaped waffle cone, it's a fun and nostalgic dessert that stands out from typical ice cream shops. Portions are generous, and there's a good variety of flavors and fillings if you want to mix things up. Service is usually efficient, though it can feel a bit rushed during peak hours, and the wait can be long when it's busy. Seating is limited, so it's more of a grab-and-go experience. Overall, Somi Somi delivers great flavor and consistency, and it definitely scratches the itch when I'm missing Hawaii. If you're an ube fan--or curious to try it for the first time--this place is absolutely worth checking out.

Upside down
Vu N.

Stopped at Somi Somi, I chose the "upside down" ube soft serve topped with a taiyaki filled with red bean. This is a really fun combo to enjoy! Featuring a smooth, creamy texture as well as a wonderful combination of sweetness along with earthiness, the ube soft serve was quite a treat. But the real star? The taiyaki! Given its freshly made nature, it featured an exquisitely crispy exterior in addition to a delightfully warm, velvety red bean filling inside. Every bite of smooth soft serve paired exceptionally well, delivering textural and flavorful contrast. The shop's atmosphere had an entirely bright and inviting quality, and the service was consistently quick despite a continual flow of customers. It is definitely something that anyone wanting a really fun dessert should try.
