This is a new location as of (June 2026) and there was a line around the building. Somisomi is a specialty soft serve ice cream spot that serve taiyaki. Taiyaki is a Japanese fish shaped pancake type treat filled with with various fillings. Although it is shaped like a fish, it does not contain any fish of course, just a cute desert. They have various flavors, Milk, Chocolate, Ube, Matcha, Oreo, Milk Tea, and Swirl combinations-- you can have it topped with a taiyaki or without. You can also choose various toppings for free and a strawberry or a mini Madeline on top. You can also just buy various taiyakis alone as well. The line was pretty long, but the employees got us through as quick as possible and the wait was not bad. They will help you decide if you are not sure, but how can you go wrong with ice cream of any flavor, yum. Inside is brand new and clean, no tables, just some standing benches and a large wooden block to sit on in the middle. Sit or stand and enjoy or take it to go. I got the ube and milk swirl without a taiyaki on top, we also got an Oreo one and a matcha and peach swirl, both with taiyaki on top. They look cute with the fish biting the top of your ice cream. Everything was really good and I think next time I will add the taiyaki. They also have a little free photo box that you can take a pic of yourself or friend while waiting, fun little touch. Enjoy! read more

After waiting months for this place to open, finally got to check it out today a bit past 1pm. Waited a couple weekends after opening for the hype (aka lines) to die down: Pros: The product itself is good and you get good bang for the buck ($4.50 option in a cup was def plenty), even though only a few flavors can't go wrong with matcha/ube, the fresh taiyaki made the store smell delicious, service was friendly, store was nice and clean and appreciate having water accessible. I also got my order real quick after ordering. Cons: The line moved painfully slow. Painfully. Combination of only having one register open and people just taking WAY too long at the register to make a decision, which I find inexplicable given you were in line for a while, how did you not know what you wanted by the time it was your turn? The pair in front of me was at the register for 6 minutes. Yes I counted because the group in front of them took so long also that I wanted to measure it. Sometimes employees just stood around doing nothing because of the lag in ordering. My recommendations would be: - Use a 2nd register - politely recommending that people know what they want by the time they get to the register to improve efficiency. - hand out laminated menus to people in line where they can cross off what they want and they just can hand it to the register so there is no lag time or employees can even collect them in line so they can get orders started ahead of time, if it involves taiyaki. - kiosks to do self orders Also there really isn't much place to sit, just one big bench everyone crammed on. I get it's a limited space but could use maybe some outside seating. The parking lot can be pretty bad given it shares the space with a lot of shops - including tj maxx. All in all, I recommend the place because it's hot in the valley and a place that offers delicious cold Asian-inspired desserts is always welcome but they really need to iron out the kinks in speed. The line just got worse and worse as I sat there and it shouldn't be that way for a place with such a limited menu. read more

Finally the wait is over and SomiSomi is back again in SFV! We used to go to the one in Northridge Mall but sadly it closed before pandemic. I was happy and excited that they've opened once again because each time we're in K-Town, SomiSomi is always our go to for dessert as well as Sul N' Beans. They offer the same menu here as the one in K-Town plus they have a few drinks as well! We ordered 1 Upsidedown Ahboong with Milk and Ube and Nutella for filling and 1 Strawberry Matcha Milk. Everything was good as usual!! As for the Strawberry Matcha Milk - this is the first time I've trued it because they don't offer this in Ktown location - I LOVE the taste of the matcha and strawberry especially after mixing/shaking the bottle. They even use fresh pureed strawberry and it's in a very cute bottle! Love the packaging!! Also I think the drinns here are made to order as well because it took awhile before they gave it to me that I had to follow up on where it was since it's already been past 10min. The ambience is nice, it's big and open - NO tables though, just a huge oval seating area and a long "kinda" table that also serves as a divider from their counter and the huge oval chair. There's a lot of staff inside maybe around 6 of then but only 1 cashier that's taking the order so be prepared for the long line. But getting the icecream is pretty fast, except for the drink that took forever. FYI, They don't have the kiosk ordering machine here yet just like in K-Town but once they add those or if they plan on adding them, the lines will be much faster than it is today. read more

I first discovered this place when I was living in OC and it quickly became one of my favorite dessert spots. Whenever I am near a location, I have to stop by. What keeps me coming back is how many options there are. You can get your soft serve in an Ah-Boong (their signature fish-shaped waffle cone), a regular cup, or the Upside Down, which comes with a filled fish-shaped waffle cone sitting on top of the soft serve. There are also so many fillings to choose from, including Nutella, custard, red bean, matcha custard, and black sesame, plus toppings like Biscoff crumbs, Oreo crumbs, macarons, cereal, sprinkles, and fruit. I also love that the soft serve flavors change regularly, so there is usually something new to try. My go-to flavors are Cookies & Cream, Matcha, or whatever fun swirl they have available that day. On this visit, I got the Pistachio/Cookies & Cream swirl and a variety of filled Taiyaki. Everything was fresh and delicious. The swirl was creamy and flavorful and the taiyaki were just as good as I remembered. The taiyaki are honestly a must-order for me. They are crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and pair perfectly with fillings like Nutella, Matcha, or Oreo. Another plus is that parking is super easy since this location is in a larger shopping center. If you are a fan of soft serve, taiyaki, or just fun desserts in general, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

oh we've ALL been waiting for this one. Somi Somi's GH location is open and by god if it isn't everything we've DREAMED OF and more. Not only do they have the staple ice cream ahbong and taiyaki (which are delicious. my favorite taiyakis are the cheese and oreo one, which is crazy because i don't even like oreo), but their special peach flavor is TO DIE FOR!! Yum yum yum. perfect in this heat. Other than the food, the store is immaculately decorated and has so many cute aspects. I'm loving the pins, stickers, and merch that they sell. saur cute!!!! I am purchasing hella merch. And finally, the staff and ownership are the cream of the crop. the belle of the ball. the ahbong of the ice cream cup. So quick, respectful, and amicable to speak to. It was a pleasure to be around them the whole time. WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE! What are you waiting for?? GO GO GO GO!!! read more

The place is still new so there was still a line but not horrible and it does go by fast. They are pretty efficient here. Got the upside down taiyaki with milk soft serve, biscoff crumble, and black sesame filling. The taiyaki was fresh and still warm, the soft serve was very creamy and light (almost fluffy), and the black sesame was very umami. Parking is a little bit of a hassle, may have to park a little farther but it's worth the walk. Can't wait to try the other flavors and the drinks too. An asset to the valley! read more

Really long line but it honestly it kinda goes by quick, especially after u do order. But the last time I ordered they didn't put custard in inside and this time I asked for swirl and they said it was swirl but when I tried it, it was not swirl flavor. They ended up remaking and they actually made it the swirl finger. read more

We were super excited for Somisomi to finally open, we have been waiting for it ever since we saw the signage. We have been to the other locations so we knew what to expect, but the line was insane. The place itself was spacious and clean. The ice cream was good, we got the pistachio and milk / custard. Both were creamy and hit the spot on a hot day. We tried the custard and a Nutella Taiyaki, they did not disappoint. Everything was well worth the wait. read more

Pulled up for their grand opening and even though there were a lot of people, they surprisingly got through everybody pretty quickly with great customer service!! I got the cookies and cream ice cream with fruity pebbles and cocoa pebbles on top with an Ahboong ! They were making fresh ahboongs and fresh taiyakis on the spot! The cheese filled taiyaki was my favorite it reminded me of a grilled cheese! Everything here tasted amazing and I'll for sure be back! It's clean and modern in here! read more

The atmosphere with their grand opening of a mini photo booth, merch display, open space and the options of menu was beautiful and welcoming! I love how the service was very quick and personal one to one to make sure the order was correct and allow the customer to have their choice of toppings! I was very fortunate to get a free takyaki so that was a surprise I did not expect and made my day! There was a long line but the wait wasnt too long. The menu options were very clear and have variety of options for everyone including the options if any allergens and etc. Overall a great experience! My only concerns would be how it goes over the summer with the heatwave, and how their approach to that. Thank you! read more

Went in on Thursday late night, definitely was a long line but the customer service makes up for it. I ordered an upside down with milk soft serve and immediately got attended by Cindy and Gabriela and was confirmed my order. They have a variety of toppings to choose from, along with a high volume of caution to allergen. You rarely that see that anymore. Great ambiance overall definitely will be coming back maybe just not when the line is long!‍ read more

Absolutely love this place. I will say they have no capacity signs and it seems like they are always over capacity because there's just way too many people in such a tiny space. Ices cream is great though especially for lactose intolerant people. read more

Love this place. It's the best ice cream I have tasted. The employees are courteous and nice.
