    Upside down Ahboong
    Jessica S.

    We love this place!!! We have tried their soft serve along with their taiyaki. Everything is so good and the service is always great. The only thing I do wish they did are samples of the soft serve but it's okay. It's nice and clean when you walk in there they even have complimentary water.

    Yummy!

    Delicious, cool and cute treat during this heat wave! I ordered the cookies and cream swirl with ube, Nutella filling and Oreo and biscoff toppings with a macaron. Wish I could taste the ube better but it was still good. Tasted and looked more like black sesame ice cream to me so I'm not mad because I love the taste of black sesame. They also offer unlimited toppings. No line on a Wednesday and cashier was very kind and friendly.

    I've been to several Somi Somi's and I'm glad this location is able to add to the consistency with the chain of dessert places. Serving up Korean soft serve, Somix2 is worth a taste especially if you just finished eating at the Handroll place next door! Parking is easy and there is plenty of space for everyone. When you walk through the front door, you will notice a kiosk on your left hand side. The workers are busy cooking up your taiyaki and serving you ice cream with toppings galore, so there will not be an actual register for you to order at. You will first be asked to place your phone number before ordering, so you can join their rewards program. As usual, my fiancé and I have a plan: I get two fresh taiyakis (Nutella flavored and custard flavored) while he gets the soft serve in a cup (cookies and cream was the choice today). They serve the taiyaki piping hot! I break apart my taiyaki and dip it into his soft serve. This way, I get flavored taiyaki with the deliciousness. I noticed this location served coffee floats. I also saw several teenagers get their strawberry milk drinks. That shall be next on my to-do list!

    She's doing the job of 3 people!!!

    Long wait and the one and only cashier did not even tell us order from the kiosk only! There should have been a sign notating that otherwise everyone is waiting around for no reason. Unbelievable for a big store with only one worker...this is not Mexico. Side note: big kudos to the young lady working as fast as she can alone! She did the job for 3 people. Give her a raise. We left her with a $5 tip. Ice cream and waffle fish was delicious. Tried black sesame, milk, strawberry, ube.

    Ended the night with some matcha ice cream with Nutella stuffed Fish waffle! They had a new flavor: cherry blossom! Very subtly but whimsical, I'd say it was a great ambience! Servers are fast or they have an iPad kiosk when lines are slower for faster service!

    We've been here twice since they opened, and I really wanted to love this location... but it's just not hitting the same. First off, service isn't the greatest. The space is also lacking seating-- there are only a few stand-up shelves inside similar to Mira Mesa, but come on, you have ALL that empty space! For context, we used to live in Mira Mesa and would go to that location all the time. Their taiyaki was always made fresh-- warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. At this Temecula location, the taiyaki has been HARD AS A ROCK both times. They seem to pre-make them and have fans blowing on them, which completely dries them out. That's honestly the biggest disappointment. Taiyaki should be hot and fresh-- that's kind of the whole point..... The ice cream itself is still good, and I do appreciate the rotating flavors and the variety of toppings. That part is consistent. But overall, the quality just isn't at the same level as the San Diego spots. Hoping management tightens things up because it has so much potential.

    SomiSomi has made its way to Temecula! A rarity once consolidated only to LA or San Diego's foodie scenes has made its reach to our side of the Inland Valley. This is definitely a must try if you're craving something sweet. My personal favs are the crispy taiyakis with a spongey bite before you reach the warm gooey filling of your choice. You can't go wrong with a classic custard, but the sweetness scale has no limit--from Nutella to a milder matcha or black sesame filling. I personally don't gravitate towards soft serve, but aside from special swirl combinations, they also offer a topping bar selection to further customize your sweet treat. Highly recommend!

    Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 4 I've been to SomiSomi in San Diego before and always enjoyed it but for some reason the Temecula location is just on another level. I've visited twice now and even though there were some people there each time the service was quick and friendly. We have had the cold brew (ok!), taiyaki (warm and filling) and soft serve (creamy and delicious!). The ube, matcha, strawberry/banana pudding soft serve and all are so tasty! We've also tried red bean and custard fillings for the taiyaki. Everything is yummy and aesthetically pleasing and you honestly can't go wrong. There isn't really a place to sit down and eat but they have tables where you can enjoy your treats while standing up and they also have some water if you need it as well. I recommend this place to get your soft serve on!

    The shell was delicious & the Oreo and strawberry ice cream were delicious. Wasn't a huge fun of the matcha flavor...

    It's located at the corner of Promenade in Temecula a little tucked away. It's nice because they have a ton of benches and umbrellas you can sit outside to enjoy your ice cream. The store is nice and clean. There was only one worker when we went. She was quick and friendly. They have a handful of different soft serves and they'll swap out which swirls flavors they have. I usually get the matcha, but I tried the matcha strawberry swirl today. It was a great mix of flavors! I like getting the ahboong where the ice cream comes swirled on top of the fish bread (not made from real fish), but they have different options as well. You can get the fish bread on top or just in the cup! They also sell the fish bread on the side. They offer different filling flavors and toppings!

    New location For ice cream and waffle place they do have a large selection They make their fish waffle comes fresh to order too Service is friendly and careful too Too bad the little macaroon was a bit stale but quite colorful Black sesame tastes very Asian-- not for the faint of heart The he hotteok was really Korean flavor with the nutty sweetness - yummy Very fresh and authentic A meal in itself

    Menu as of 11/2025

    Been wanting to check out SomiSomi and finally got the chance a few days ago with my kids. Its located by the mall near Benihana. We all ordered their fish shaped cone upside downwith soft serve called "Ahboong". You can either order it this way, or the just soft serve in a cup and even a cold brew float. Once you order what style, you have serveral choices for soft serve and the filling of the ahboong (fish cone). So many varieties you can make! Not only do they serve this but they also serve Taiyaki which is just the fish shaped waffle with a filling. Everything is made to order and this sweet treat is pure deliciousness. Hot or cold day, its an enjoyable treat! As you enter the store, straight ahead is the counter area where they make the goods and to your right is a long standing table/countertop to enjoy your treats. Unfortunately there are no tables or chairs inside but outside are some benches. The young ladies assisting us were nice and helpful with any questions we had. This is a cashless establishment so make sure to have a card to make your purchases not cash. Can't wait to come back and try another variety of flavors!

    Somisomi in Temecula continues to serve up delicious and iconic taiyaki with ice cream. Winter seasonal flavors include their banana pudding ice cream (which has been bomb) and hotteok taiyaki, a thick warm cinnamon and nut filling reminiscent of apple pie filling without the fruit. I recently had their ice cream for an elite event and had to come back for more. Highly recommend both limited flavors before it goes away!

I came here craving soup after being sick and ordered the pork soon tofu, while my wife ordered the bulgogi. The meat in both dishes was noticeably tough and difficult to chew compared to other Korean tofu restaurants we've visited. Because I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't fully taste the food, but my wife and daughter both immediately noticed that the bulgogi tasted sour. When we brought it to the staff's attention, they kindly offered to replace the meat, so we requested teriyaki chicken instead. Unfortunately, another serving of bulgogi was brought out instead. By that point, my wife and daughter had already finished eating and gone to the car, so I simply asked for it to be boxed up. After getting home, we decided to throw it away because we didn't feel comfortable taking a chance on meat that tasted off. The side dishes also didn't seem fresh, which matched what I had seen mentioned in other reviews. While I can't say for certain what caused the sour taste, it left us without confidence in the meal. Another thing worth mentioning is that there was no air conditioning on a very hot summer day, which made it uncomfortable to enjoy a steaming bowl of soup. Also, the dishes were served on hot plates, but nothing arrived sizzling or boiling the way you would normally expect at a Korean tofu restaurant. I genuinely want local family-owned restaurants to succeed, which is why writing this review isn't easy. Every restaurant can have an off day, and hopefully that's what happened here. Unfortunately, this visit didn't meet our expectations, and based on our experience, I'd encourage others to use their own judgment when deciding to dine here.

    Nice service and decent meat for the price!…read more The menu is straightforward with the basic meat options. Although the choices are very limited, they offer the typical meat options that people would normally get at other locations. The menu states that there's a limit on the marinated short ribs, but the worker said that we could get as much as we wanted. The ventilation could definitely be better, but it didn't bother us that much. Our favorite part was that they provided FREE ice cream at the end of our meal which was a pleasant surprise. * Beef Brisket: 9/10 - cooks the fastest and pairs nicely with the brisket sauce * Bulgogi Beef: 9/10 - nicely marinated and tender * Beef Short Ribs: 9/10 - the best choice, but we were curious as to why it didn't come with the bones * Ice Cream: 10/10 - perfect dessert after such a very meal The place is a good size and can fit a large number of booths and grills. We came when they first opened so the workers were quite attentive, but it might be different during hectic dinner times. They're located in a small lot with the gas station and other shops so parking might be tough.
