    This spot has something for everyone in my family and friend group. Most of the ice cream flavors are lactose free - check, check; red bean taiyaki - check; ice cream with Asian flavors - check, check, check. The business is always clean and the service is friendly. there are no samples and you cannot get two flavors unless it is a part of their predetermined swirl. I don't know who decides, but I really don't want Thai tea with cookies and cream. Getting the fish shaped cone is a must! I say take a few taiyaki home for a crispy air fryer treat later in the day. The down side is the limited seating. Enjoy!

    Always a good idea to stop over and pick up a special Korean dessert known as "Ah-Boong", a fish-shaped waffle cone filled with your choice of soft serve and toppings. They really have a good selection to choose from. I got the strawberry soft serve, fruity pebble topping, and pastry filling with custard is a must. Came here with a few people, line was short and the young guy taking order was quick. The place is located at Shanghai Plaza. Parking is limited but, you can also park on the street near by. Inside they have a tier bench to sit on, it reminds me of the bleachers we had in high school lol. On the side of the entrance, there is a long standing table to eat as well.

    Stopped in for a late night treat after dinner and this place never disappoints. The cashier was nice and helpful when ordering. The soft serve is always spot on and the serving size is enough for 2 to share(glad I brought my boyfriend). The taiyaki is always delicious no matter what flavor you choose. There are some seating options but it is a smaller area to sit or stand. The flavors and swirls change every week and you can find that information on their instagram so always check before going if you're looking for a specific flavor. We will be back soon since I can't get enough of this place!

    Gotta stop here every time we're in Vegas!! Always crowded and worth the weight every single time. How many flavors that are lactose free. Is there lots of sunny souls and this one has an amazing atmosphere. Love the staircase sitting area. Not far from the Strip. Can't help the gift but it's delicious dessert!

    This is my go to place when I want somthing hot fresh and not too sweet. I get mine plain sometimes The signature "Ah-Boong" (taiyaki with soft serve) is the main draw, The "upside down" option (ice cream in a cup with the fish on top) is a popular choice to avoid mess. This is what I usually get the upside down option. Sometimes I just crave the fish plain or with custard on the side no ice cream needed. They have many options on filings to choose from, such as (Nutella, custard, red bean, black sesame, cheese) and unlimited toppings fruity pebbles, Oreos crumbs are popular choices. This place gets busy so be ready to wait for your order as sometimes they are making them fresh. Give this place a try and happy eating....

    The best dessert in Spring Mountain, it taste amazing in the service is really good. It will be a little late in the line, but that's because it's so good but they get through the line really fast! Family and friend friendly there's a sitting area/ staircase !

    The dessert is definitely for mi, but the seating is so-so. Somisomi is a chain that offers taiyaki (fish-shaped waffles) and rotating flavors of soft serve ice cream. I enjoy their Henderson location quite a bit, but upon finishing lunch in this location's plaza and noticing that there's currently a matcha/strawberry swirl on the menu, I had to stop in for that specific blend. The Soft Serve In A Cup ($4.50 now) is the straightforward way to experience the soft serve. You can get toppings too, and I went with my semi-standard matcha powder and biscoff crumbles. I definitely got both the matcha and a strawberries-and-cream experience in most of the bites, so it was worth it for that alone. The complimentary strawberry was ripe and naturally sweet too though, and it added intensity and nuance in every little nibble which I was able to take of it. The issue I have with this specific store is that they apparently deemed it unnecessary to buy chairs even well after the pandemic had resolved. The only seating is stadium style, kinda like a lower-rent version of Gabi, and it's pretty easy to spill toppings or even melting ice cream onto yourself without a counter or table. I can have my counter with a seat at the Henderson location, so why not here? Somisomi is a great option overall for dessert, but this isn't the perfect place to have some.

    Clean, friendly staff, great ice cream, BTS special, playing BTS music during BTS Arirang Las Vegas tour. Night tends to be packed. We came around noon and it wasn't too busy yet. There is an entrance and parking on street behind building.

    The taiyaki at Somi Somi are absolutely legendary. I couldn't help myself I had to try all of them! IG: @somisomiicecream

    This was great! Last time I was in, it took a lonnng time but this time it went really fast and there was quite a few people there so really big and good improvement. Great soft serve and the little fish are delicious! There isn't a lot of sitting room inside though and parking can be rough so just make yourself aware :) really awesome though!

    Upside Down Ahboong Taiyaki with Matcha Filling and Early Grey Soft Serve

    I had Somisomi once in LA many years ago and remembered it was good but at the time, they didn't ask or offer toppings like this visit in Vegas so it wasn't the most memorable back then. What got me really excited about this visit was seeing Earl Grey soft serve on the menu! I got the Upside Down Ahboong. I chose matcha for the filling this time which was alright, I think I prefer the custard. Of course Earl Grey for the soft serve. When they call your name, there's a variety of toppings you can add which is all included! Lastly, they ask if you want a fresh strawberry or macaroon to finish it all off. If you ever had the Earl Grey ice cream from Van Leeuwen, is very similar! Absolutely delicious, I'd come back just for the Earl Grey soft serve!

    As busy and chaotic as the lines, friendly quick service. Good selection of toppings and fillings. The fish was slightly crunchy an warm. The strawberry ice cream reminded me of the strawberry Pocky sticks. Will have to come back and try their other flavors

    Sergio R.

    What a treat! Perfect desert on hot summer night. Located in Shanghai Plaza. Parking can be tricky when busy. The establishment offers limited bleacher style seating but it adds to its unique appeal. The ice cream is soft serve with a creamy texture. Flavors vary from traditional cookies and cream to Thai tea, and you choose how it's served up. In a Ah Boong (waffle fish), in a cup or both. The Thai Tea with a red bean filling is my favorite. The staff is friendly and well organized so the line moves quickly.

The owner was exceptionally friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. What really sets Friocup apart is its creative lineup of flavors and toppings, featuring Mexican-inspired options that you don't typically find at larger frozen yogurt chains. The topping bar featured an impressive selection of classic favorites and unique mix-ins, allowing for endless combinations. **Churro & Plain Tart Frozen Yogurt: 5/5** The combination of the Churro and Plain Tart flavors was absolutely delicious. Warm cinnamon notes in the churro frozen yogurt captured the essence of the classic dessert without being overly sweet, while the tangy plain tart provided the perfect refreshing contrast. Smooth and creamy with a light texture, the frozen yogurt paired beautifully with the assortment of toppings without feeling overly heavy. I finished my cup with mochi, gummy bears, Biscoff cookie pieces, and a generous drizzle of cookie butter, creating the perfect balance of chewy, crunchy, and creamy textures. If you're looking for a refreshing treat to beat the blazing Las Vegas heat, Friocup is absolutely worth a visit. Between the creative flavors and extensive topping selection, it's easily one of the best frozen yogurt spots I've been to. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in Las Vegas!

If we have paleta bars, they never have a taro flavor. Service is going to depend on the people in front of you. The ones in front of us asked a lot of questions so it took a bit longer to get our order going. I knew what I wanted so it went by quite quick. The staff is friendly and very careful with your order. If I'm in Vegas again, this will be a stop on my list. Also I liked how they had BTS themed flavors with the toppings and they took the time to decorate.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a full-on 70s, 80s, 90s time capsule -- neon colors, movie posters everywhere (Back to the Future, Gorillaz, Star Wars?!), and shelves packed with nostalgic collectibles that will have you saying "wait, I remember that!" every five seconds. The details are EVERYTHING. There's even a whole Star Wars section with a Death Star setup and a Millennium Falcon hanging overhead, like?? Who thought of this?! And don't get me started on the random gems like the Homer head in the greenery wall or the "Employee of the Month" Akeem frame... it's chaotic in the best way. Now the ice cream just as good as the atmosphere. Super creamy, rich, and generous scoops. I grabbed a cup and it did not disappoint. Perfect texture, not icy at all, and you can tell they care about what they're serving. Also, the whole "themed ice cream shop" concept actually delivers. It's not just decor slapped on the walls it feels curated, fun, and honestly a little immersive. This is the kind of place you go for ice cream and end up staying way longer just looking around and taking it all in. 10/10 for: Atmosphere Creativity Nostalgia overload Ice cream quality Definitely coming back... and bringing people with me next

On our visit, there were several sketchy people in the lot and some going to the adjoining liquor store. While most of the customers were nice family looking people, a few of them were on the sketchier side too. If this were the only issue, we would go back, but there were other issues as well. However, for the positives, parking was limited, but sufficient. Business was good and there was both a line and numerous people waiting for their food. The order area is well lit at night. Most of all, the servers are very friendly, helpful, and patient. Unfortunately, the rest of the downside are the most important things. The serving cup size is good, but the ratio of custard to hot fudge/toppings was way off. Most places do not give enough fudge/chocolate sauce/toppings, but here the ratio was half and half. This MIGHT have been ok if the fudge and toppings were layered as at other places that do not skimp on toppings, but here the fudge/toppings were the top half of the cup and the custard at the bottom. This made it difficult to get the custard and to get a proper ratio of custard to topping. Kind of like rationing your meat and rice or potatoes so you have some for each bite--you could not do this with the custard and toppings here. The custard quality seemed like it might be ok, but it was hard to tell due to the ratio and serving structure. Overall, Nielson's custard has the more standard concretes with mix ins and a larger portion size than Luv-it. Freddy's frozen custard, although not as good as Nielson's was still also better than Luv-it. If Luv-it could either layer its toppings and you have concrete custard consistency, then it could be rated higher. As is, you are better off driving the distance to Nielson's or just going to Freddys. Still, if you must go to Luv-it, just be aware of your surroundings and you will still get an ok dessert.
