Really busy for a Wednesday evening, had lots of buzzing and happy energy. Good quality soft serve, the staff was efficient and nice. I wish the taiyaki was a little warmer. read more

Somisomi - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fullerton, California

This was my first time going to a Somi Somi place and I have always wanted to try. Going inside it looked so instagram worthy with plenty of seating and very clean. They have many options here for ice cream flavors- Matcha, Pink Guava, Ube, Mango and Milk. Keep in mind some of these could be swirled together! They also had a few fillings for the waffle such as custard, Nutella and red bean paste. I went with my family of four and we each got an ice cream and the total came out to $30, a bit pricey in my opinion. We all got the ice cream upside down which comes in a cup with a fish designed waffle on top with your choice of filling. Since we all chose a different flavor, I was able to try all of them so I decided to rank them. Mango- Refreshing! Didn't taste artificial like a lot of other Mango ice cream does Pink Guava- It wasn't too sweet but paired really well with the milk ice cream. Milk- Tastes like vanilla ice cream. Matcha- It didn't overpower like most matcha does, which I approve of. Ube- tastes like normal Ube. Was my least favorite because it was a bit watery. At the end you can choose toppings to put on your ice cream like oreos, cereal, macarons, coconut shavings or strawberries. The Waffle Fish tasted fresh and warm, and the ice cream was tasty. I was impressed with my visit here and would recommend giving it a shot. read more

A fun and sweet spot in DTF. They have lots of additional toppings and sauces but we like ours pretty plain. The ube was pretty strong this time and the service is quick! Overall it's a great place! read more

Thank you to the staff for remaking the tayakis my kid dropped! And you guys were sooo nice about it! You didn't have to do that but we really appreciate that!! Everything is always delicious. It was busy as heck in here but they have a pretty good system to keep orders moving and flowing. read more

Although this was my first time at this location of Somisomi, it was the same delicious experience as my previous visit. This location had a little more room so it didn't feel nearly as crowded although it was definitely busy when we visited! Even though it was quite busy, I was impressed with how quickly the staff was able to crank out the orders! Everything was delicious per the usual. We got the taiyaki variety pack and some ahboong and all were fresh and incredible! Everyone really enjoyed what they tried. I got the upside down ahboong with Nutella, banana pudding soft serve and biscoff crumble and I am hooked! We make it a point to stop in every time we visit California. I hope someone will open up a Somisomi in Colorado! read more

Ube flavor was nice and strong. Unfortunately, the matcha flavor was very muted. Service is not bad. Ambience is tolerable for a little while. It'll either be packed with people or almost empty. Would return to try more flavors. read more

Food was good and service was fast. It's pretty busy at night. It's definitely a late night spot for young students.

The fullerton one i had one of the worst experience ever. The place is not clean, staffs are not friendly and the ice cream is like cheap quality. They are not selling the high quality product, culture and best. Instead, they are poorly trained and the tables that they serve are not clean. I ate half of it and trash it. My overall scores: 1-10 (1 is worst and 10 is greatest) Product: 2/10 Friendly staff: 1/10 Cleanness: 2/10 Service: 3/10 Atmosphere: 3/10 Business hours: 2/10 I would not go again. read more

SomiSomi has always been a fan favorite for me and my partner! We used to go to the Arcadia location when it was open at the Santa Anita mall which is much closer to us, but ever since it closed, we still love making a trip out the Fullerton location. We love this ice cream chain because it has different swirls every week and it's always fun to see what they have every time we arrive. The staff is also super friendly and patient. When we arrived, there were so many customers, but the line got through very quickly. My partner and I particularly love somi somi because of the taiyaki combination you can get, but you can also opt out of it if you're just feeling the ice cream alone. It's very customizable! This is just a side story, but somi somi was also one of our first date spots for my partner and I. I introduced him to somi somi and we went to the location near Anaheim. I can't remember which city it was in, but somi somi is very reminiscent for the both of us. I definitely recommend this spot if you're feeling like having a different kind of ice cream experience :) read more

Loved this experience. I tried the ube and milk (upside down) with coconut topping. It was delicious and so much fun. I like that it wasn't too sweet and it was such a novel concept. Great service and recommendations. I will definitely go again. read more

We had a VERY large party come in and they accommodated us so well. The staff world quickly and efficiently. Despite how many people were in our group they managed to serve us in a timely manner. I highly recommend this location. read more

Was craving ice cream so decided to make a stop for some girl dinner! :) We found some street parking nearby and walked in to a little line, but it moved pretty quick. Inside looked clean, they had counters for you to eat inside but no seating. They had a new menu item: real strawberry milk but unfortunately were out of stock. I asked the cashier for flavor recommendations and she did not recommend the corn flavor I was going to try. We opted for the Ube Cookies & Cream swirl in a cup and the Milk flavor with the Taiyaki filled with Nutella. Pricing was not bad for a scoop $4.50 and cost $6.95 with the Taiyaki. The taiyaki came out warm with a filling of your choice: custard, matcha custard, red bean, black sesame, or nutella. We chose the Nutella inside and it was pretty good! However, I would probably order the taiyaki separately since I loveee filling and the taiyaki on the icecream seemed to have less filling in order to fit on top. You can also choose toppings when you pick up your order: sprinkles, biscoff crumble, captain crunch, coconut flakes, matcha powder, graham crackers. You can also select 1 extra topping: - 1 strawberry (half a slice) OR - 1 mini macaron (only the top cracker part) I would opt out of the sour strawberry and dry macaron, but it definitely looks like a cute addition. Our ice creams came out not that aesthetically-looking as we ordered them in the Irvine location and they looked better. The Ube taste was indeed "not that sweet" , but was missing something creamier. I couldn't really taste the cookies and cream flavor. The milk flavor was also very light in flavor and tasted like whole milk. As a creamier gal, I would probably come back for their taiyakis if nearby, but not their icecream. I personally think McDonald's soft serve is creamier than their ice creams. Nothing really special and toppings didn't look fresh here. read more

First tried Somisomi in Little Tokyo (LA) and my husband has been craving it ever since. Aside from the bored looking employees, this place hits so good every time. My husband always opts for a box of the filled Taiyaki with custard, red bean, Nutella and black sesame seed. I tried the ube ice cream filled Taiyaki. So good every time! To all the staff, we love you and thank you for making our late night cravings perfect! read more

What a delicious treat!!! It was simple, efficient menu where the flavors all blend deliciously. The taiyaki was crispy and it was filled perfectly with the soft serve. Customer service was excellent - all friendly and patient when you ordered. It is located in a quant part of town and worth walking around. Would highly recommend as a perfect snack or dessert. Not too sweet, just perfectly delicious! read more

We love going to somisomi, the soft serve is so yummy & the cutie fish taiyaki is made fresh every time we go. They have a variety of flavors, a few that rotate & toppings as well. They also have different options as far as filling the taiyaki such as Nutella, custard, matcha & even a savory cheddar. The possibilities are endless as far as flavor combinations & the presentation is always picture worthy. This spot is located in DTF, there are a few lots nearby & it's in a cute plaza. Service is good, but they do not do samples. I would understand if it was a traditional ice cream place, if it was just vanilla, chocolate etc. but they do have flavors that you may not know if you would enjoy or not. We stopped in to try the banana milk & possibly the Ube but we weren't sure if we would like the flavors. Unfortunately since we weren't able to try the flavors we were hesitant & ended up leaving & going to Blue Scoop in Brea. I love to try new flavors but if I don't enjoy what I tried I'd most likely just stick with a flavor I may have eaten previously. Since we didn't get that opportunity we just went elsewhere. Hopefully they will allow samples in the future! read more

Cute cute cute! We met up with a friend for a quick dessert recently. We got an ube treat for the hot hot day. I wish there was more seating inside. But there are table top areas for you to stand and enjoy your ice cream. Their ice cream is so creamy and yummy! The courtyard with the fountain in the back is nice too! read more

Located in downtown fullerton this is a good dessert spot. We parked on the street and walked over. The inside is spacious enough but no seating just standing bars. Outside there are a few tables. We ordered soft serve in a cup and one with their taiyaki. When I first got mine I thought the forgot the filling but when I asked they told me it's just a very thin inside layer, so don't expect it to be filled filled with nutella, custard, etc -- just lightly coated. Flavor was good we got coffee and milk combo and matcha and cookie butter combo. read more

This was a perfect spot for desert! I've never had desert here. It was even probably my first time getting ice cream inside taiyaki. What a great combination! My order during this visit was the matcha flavored ice cream with matching filling inside of it. The price for one of these isn't that expensive or cheap. It was fairly priced, but they don't charge for the filling inside or toppings. However, I did not request any toppings just to avoid it getting messy. So I have to say, I was pleased with what I received. The workers did a good job preparing the ice cream quickly. They waste no time. This place was nice, but they could really use more indoor seating. read more

first time trying somisomi and I'm obsessed!!!! Ok 1 I had NO idea the ice cream was lactose free so scoreeee no lactaid for me buddy. lol. The person taking my order was so sweet, she told me to get the cup + fish bc it had more ice cream. Also you can add dry topping and it comes with either a strawberry or macaroon which was another pleasant surprise!!! We got the banana milk ice cream w the little fishy w custard filling soooo yummy! the location is on a little closed off street next to many restaurants so it's super easy to get to and a great after dinner sweet treat! read more

Somisomi - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fullerton, California

SomiSomi is a great option for dessert if you want a cold treat during the summertime. I love trying to see what combination of soft serve I can get with their ube. You can also get free toppings from the servers! Just be careful of the ahboong fish waffle cone. It's a soft waffle instead of the hard cones you get at usual ice cream stores so it really starts to fall apart when your ice cream melts. The interior is nice, but there was no seating inside, just outside of the store. read more

parking was a mess in this area (fullerton), good luck store was not busy the staff felt rushed like there were 50 customers waiting in line, but it was only my fiancé and I, what's the rush? please take care of the customers requested for fresh hot extra crispy fish, female cashier was not confident and gave a delayed response, "yes". after paying, instantly, received our order. the fish was not fresh, it was cold and not up to par like garden grove or irvine locations. the staff here needs to be retrained to make great products fresh for customers, not make a bundle cold sitting out, please refer to the pictures. definitely, do not recommend this location. anything that comes out instantly after you have paid for an order does not sound right. thats exactly what I received, a cold fish with no warmth crunch texture with the custard. it did not live up to par. service needs to improve and care about the quality of the food product served to customers. there were too much pre made fish that were sitting out cold. suggestion: for great freshness and quality, make per order and you'll definitely do better as a business and quality or quantity. more customers will be back with positive reviews. read more

Decided to head over to SOMISOMI after dinner in DT Fullerton . . & so glad we did! The lobby is a large space with ample standing counters for enjoying your sweet treat. Additionally they've got tables & chairs for sitting, just outside. Team member that assisted us was friendly & thorough in ensuring we were comfortable with understanding our options & ordering. They even made suggestions for flavor pairings. [MY ORDER] * AH BONG NUTELLA STUFFED CONE w/ BANANA MILK SOFT SERVE TOPPED WITH BISCOFF COOKIE CRUMBS, GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS, CAPTAIN CRUNCH CRUMBS, & COCONUT FLAKES. comments: This was the best ending to dinner. It wasn't too heavy. There were sweet elements of the cone filling while the banana milk soft serve was lightly sweet & super banana tasting. I loved that you can get as many topping as you want. They give you a free add-on of a macaron or a strawberry. Must try! Will certainly be back for another sweet treat. *cheers* read more

This is my second time at this SomiSomi location and both times have been really wonderful! I really like that they offer plain taiyaki here because I'm not always a fan of fillings. They're delicious, but sometimes I just crave some mochi bread! The area is clean, albeit a little warm. There are no chairs available inside, but outside there are a few seating areas scattered here and there in the plaza. The food & taiyaki is made to order so sometimes if there's a long line, it'll be on the longer side of waiting, but I didn't mind! Parking in this area is almost atrocious, depending on what time you show up LOL. There are plenty of places to park, but sometimes they take a fee. Otherwise, you can try to go for street parking, but this area is a college town, so I don't know how it'll look during the day time. read more

Frequently drive past this Somi Somi but never thought to stop by until a recent Friday evening for a post dinner treat. Parking is a nightmare - all Downtown Fullerton shoppes share multiple parking lots but they fill up very quick during peak days/times along with the street parking. After circling a few times, we parked at a bank lot which charges a fee to park. Surprised to see Somi Somi completely empty when I walked in. Unfortunately, no more samples are provided. I opted for the 2 pieces of taiyaki (red bean & custard) and a cup of cookies & cream soft serve with a strawberry top. Once I ordered, a staff member made the soft serve right away and popped the batter for the taiyaki. I wish they would've asked if I wanted to wait to get it all at once since I was ordering take out. The soft serve had melted a bit by the time I received the taiyaki and headed back to the car. Pricing was really reasonable as everything was under $10 for dessert. read more

SomiSomi is a great spot to grab a nice desert that offers soft serves. Taiyaki, and beverages. Starting with the soft serves, you can choose from Ah Boong (upside down taiyaki w/soft serve), a cup, or Upside Down (a cup of soft serve w/taiyaki on top). There aren't many flavors to choose from but some flavors are on rotation. I won't go further as their menu shows everything. The location itself is on the side of the street with no parking, so you'll have to park a ways down and walk which I did not mind as it only made the experience more comforting, especially with it being at night. But do be prepared if you cannot find parking that is close. I only had to wait about 3-5 minutes before my order was ready and the staff was friendly with a positive attitude. I was impressed as they were pumping out orders during a rush; all without sacrificing quality. I ordered the Cold Brew Float with milk & coffee soft serve in it. When I first received my drink I didn't mix it so I ended up taking a sip of black coffee which I'm not a fan of. After mixing in the ice cream, I experienced a sweet delight between roasted coffee and a mellow milk flavor that closely resembled vanilla ice cream. The drink itself is great and after a little while, it became almost like a slush which I am a fan of. Overall, a great little spot with a modern interior design. I will definitely be coming back as they offer unique items and rotating flavors that I believe are worth trying. read more

I love how fun this place is. You can watch them make the little Taiyaki fishes. My son loved the ice cream with Taiyaki fish on top. He said it tasted delicious and was happy he could choose all the toppings he wanted. I also ordered the 5 Taiyaki fishes for almost $9.00. Everything was great and crunchy. I ordered a black sesame, 2 cheese, and an Oreo. I am more of a mozzarella person so I was surprised there was cheddar squares melted inside. The only thing I did not like was the black sesame, the outside was great but a big ball of black sesame filling was in the center instead of spread throughout .. like a lot. Overall I will definitely be back for the ice cream. read more

Such a yummy treat to have on these hot summer days!!! I need the black sesame to come back!!! That's my favorite flavor but I have not seen it in a while. I love how crispy the outside of the taiyaki are and how soft and chewy the inside is! Workers are nice when they aren't too busy, however I can tell they get a little overwhelmed sometimes which is completely valid. Will be a staple this summer!!! read more

Somi Somi Korean Ice Cream I tried the salted caramel Nutella-filled taiyaki at Somi Somi, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and savory--it really hit the spot! My son had the matcha Nutella filled taiyaki. The ice cream was rich and flavorful, and the taiyaki was warm and crispy on the outside with a soft, delicious center. The shop was clean, and the workers were efficient and friendly, making the experience even better. Definitely a great place for a unique and satisfying treat! A nice desert to top off a nice visit to downtown Fullerton. read more

Somi Somi has been my first and only experience with Korean soft serve and tayaki -- and I'm HOOKED! In the handful of times I've been, I usually opt for the upside down ah-boong: your choice of creamy soft serve topped with a fish-shaped waffle that is filled with a filling of your choice! My go to is ube soft serve and a Nutella filled taiyaki! My most recent visit, I opted for 2 taiyakis ($4.50), one filled with taro and one filled with Nutella. These were perfection. Crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. While both fillings were tasty, the Nutella will always win my heart. Next time, I'm going to try a taiyaki with an Oreo filling! This particular location has plenty of standing tables inside, a few out on the street, and is connected to a beautiful courtyard with plenty of seating and a fountain to enjoy as well. read more

Upon walking in on a Thursday night, there's no one to greet you and the workers are chatting in the kitchen/back. There were only two customers and they were hanging out and eating. The workers didn't even notice that we had walked in and we waited for about 3min before getting their attention to order. I ordered the ube & matcha with a bungeoppang filled with Nutella. I was disappointed that the bungeoppang was stale and cold. The ice cream was milky and lightly sweet so I enjoyed that. We probably won't be coming back to this location and I've had better experiences at the other Somi Somi locations. read more

First time going to this place and great vibe going into the establishment. On the smaller side but works great for a quick soft serve go to. Does get a bit busy and loud but can't complain tbh. The soft serve with the tayaki was an amazing combo! All was great until the pick up of our order unfortunately. The employee (bigger gentleman) was on a different mood apparently within our small engagement. It was a bit harder to hear him as we spoke low to us while the place was starting to get a bit noisier from more customers waiting. Hopefully the next visit is a lot nicer when picking up my order. read more

Somisomi - (front to back): Milk, Matcha, Cookies&Cream x 2 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fullerton, California

I've been several times to the Fullerton Somi Somi location. Service is usually a bit slow, but nothing crazy. Quality of the food is top notch and worth the wait. However, today I went on a Sunday afternoon and there was quite a bit of a line. Waited 30 minutes in the line with about 4-5 parties in front of me and two workers behind the counter. Get to the cashier and he tells me they aren't serving taiyaki because they don't have enough people...... What poor customer service. You need to communicate to your customers, especially if there is a long line like that! I get it if you're short staffed and have to make that decision. Put signs on the door or at least call out into the crowd to announce the limited menu every time someone comes in the door. I was extremely upset with this...wasted an hour and a half of my afternoon to get my husband his requested birthday dessert only to walk about empty handed. Do better, Somi Somi! Thank you! read more

Soft serve ice cream with a dessert fish waffle stuffed with deliciousness, yes please! The flavors offered are seasonal but fun...like milk, ube, matcha, and even swirl options. The aboong fish is not too sweet so the balance is nice and you can have it plain to stuffed with Nutella or custard. You get free toppers (I like graham cracker crumbs but hubby likes fruity pebbles) and a macron or strawberry. Take a pic before you indulge because it's the way we do things! Bon appetit! read more
