I ordered the cookies & cream soft serve in their signature ah-boong (the fish-shaped taiyaki cone) with custard filling, and honestly... it lived up to the hype. The cone was made fresh with it being crispy on the outside, soft and slightly chewy inside and sturdy enough to hold the soft serve without turning into a soggy mess halfway through. That alone deserves respect. The cookies & cream soft serve was super smooth and creamy, and not overly sweet. It didn't taste artificial or heavy and was dangerously easy to finish. Portion size was generous, presentation was on point (yes, it's as Instagram-worthy as everyone says). read more

Somisomi is located inside Del Amo Mall as a food kiosk near the food court. Came here on a Thursday evening, and there wasn't a long line. Ordered the Seventeen special that included honeydew soft serve, topped with taiyaki and decorative sugar that matches Seventeen's theme colors, pink and blue. They even gave us the option of swirling the honeydew with ube soft serve, so my sister ordered that one. And we both chose custard filling for the taiyaki. Somisomi is a great spot for a quick and convenient sweet treat while shopping at the mall. read more

Freshly made japanese pastries! Their new flavor with the brown sugar and peanut is so good. I wanted to like the sesame but it could use more sweetness. The bread is very chewy and it's so good warm! I do think they can spread the filling out more though - there's a lot of bites where you don't get any. Service and staff are good. This one is located inside the Del Amo mall so not much space to sit - more grab and go. read more

That hit the spot! Peach and Ube swirl! Unfortunately, no cookies and cream option today. read more

Whenever we come to this mall my family always has to get Somisomi especially after the one at the Cerritos mall closed down they always crave it. The line here is usually never to bad and even when its long it seems like they are always prepping the fish so it goes by super fast. We have tried all out flavors but the go to usually the Matcha or the Ube. yo can even get them swirled which gets you the best of both flavors. You can also get the fish filled with a few different flavors. When they are done filling your fish and the ice cream is served you can choose your toppings. Sprinkles is usually the go to. If you are in the mall and want a sweet treat this is the place to go. It beats going to the Korea Town location that usually has a ridiculously long line. read more

The good: I liked that you could self-order on a kiosk. I got the corn and cookies & cream swirl in a cup. It was delicious! I loved the sweet corn flavor and how smooth and creamy their soft serve is. This is one of their newer flavors and it is a great addition. I hope this flavor stays. The toppings are free. I got graham cracker crumbs and sprinkles. The bad: I didn't realize I ordered it without a fish pastry. Whoops! The interesting: They're a kiosk in the food court. Their other locations I've been to have all been entire stores that you can walk into. read more

Went after my dreadful shift and was looking forward to a sweet treat here. First time so I asked what was the most popular and I was told it was the cookies and cream ice cream with the Nutella filled fish on top. I wanted to get the best experience so perused this choice, and I'm not disappointed at all. It's honestly nothing too different or incredible about the flavor, but it was presented so cutely and perfect that it made up for its mediocre taste. The whole kiosk was kept well cleaned, and the workers were very kind to me! Overall a great experience for a decent price to try something sweet and creative. read more

Ignored us until it turned 8 to say they're closed. Love to see 5 workers ignore us for 5 minutes straight.

I'm obsessed with their Taiyaki! My favorite flavors are cheese and Nutella but the Oreo is really good too. Service takes a while, but it's because they make it fresh and it's worth the wait getting them hot You can see they keep the area clean and well maintained-- unless it's rush hour then of course expect crumbs everywhere by the toppings but it doesn't take away from the deliciousness of the treat You can get 2 for $5 (or) 5 for $9 read more

Somisomi - Taiyaki 5pc - Desserts Near Me - Torrance, California

Never had a Somi Somi. Decided to try their matcha "upside down" taiyaki with red bean topped with graham cracker and toasted coconut. It's a really nice treat. Small menu, easy to order at the tablet. Pick up in a few minutes at the other end of the kiosk. There's four single flavors and then two "twist" ones. Seems like very good quality soft-serve...doesn't melt right away and it's not icy, more creamy. They also offer "sips" (drinks) like strawberry milk and cold brew coffee. I was interested in the strawberry milk and asked a staff member about it. Unfortunately he said that he "never tried it". It would be nice for staff to be a little more knowledgeable about the products that they are selling (free marketing!) or ask a co-worker. At least their soft serve was good, not so sure about the strawberry milk:( read more

SOMISOMI is AMAZING. Such a cute idea for ice cream and incredibly tasty! This place is located in the del amo, but I love their little set up and I think the quality is just as great!!! The workers there were so kind and friendly. I ordered the ah boong with custard and matcha/Ube swirl. They topped it off with a macaron and it was so cute! As aesthetic as it was, it tasted even better. The taiyaki cones are made right there and they are sooooo fresh. They are warm and crispy on the outside with a soft inside filled with custard. The soft serve was smooth and creamy and the matcha/Ube combo was amazing. Come visit SOMISOMI when you're wandering around the mall!! It's amazing. read more

Cute spot for delicious ice cream. I ordered the Ah-Boong with salted caramel, custard filling, and graham cracker toppings. The salted caramel was sweet and had a great texture. The taiyaki was crispy and custard filling was tasty as well. Service took about 1 minute, so very quick. The venue is located inside Del Amo mall near the food court. Plenty of seating near by. I'd definitely come back for a quick treat of good ice cream. read more

I remember trying this place years ago. It didn't leave a lasting impression and I didn't think much of it. Recently, while I was at the mall, I saw it and something told me to try it again and I'm so glad I did! It was YUMMY. I got the Cookies 'n Cream & Ube swirl and it definitely left me wanting more. Like I wanted to come back the next day and get it again. Lol. There's always people waiting for their order and a line to order, but it goes by quickly. People obviously like it and for good reason - it's delicious!!! If you want something to satisfy your sweet tooth or cool you down, I recommend this place. : ) read more

This is my go to when coming to Del Amo Mall! The custard taiyaki is my absolute favorite. Especially when you eat right off the hot plate. So soft and chewy in the middle which makes it the best. I also love getting their cheddar flavor for a more savory option. Their ice cream is also a must have and the amount they give you is enough to feed two. They have a tablet you can order on and the cashier as well. The line can get a bit long depending on the day and time. The wait can also be very long. But, I went this time on a Thursday at around 7pm and it was not packed at all. read more

We are a fan of somi somi and love all the ice cream options that they offer! We always get the split ice cream choices: oreo and ube! You get an option of getting a warm fish shaped bread (taiyaki) with either nutella or custard filling! I always get the nutella and always enjoy it! To my surprise when you go pick up your ice cream they also offer more free toppings from coconut to peanuts and oreo crumbles! The line goes by really quick because you can order on an ipad! It asks for your phone number and they will text you once your order is ready. It is located inside the mall by the food court and is a super cute ice cream kiosk! read more

Soft texture, creamy and smooth on top of deliciousness! I've been to Osaka and had the soft serve there and it was next level! I'm not in Osaka and this is the closest I can get to this deliciousness. This place does a great job in recreating the Japan soft serve in the US. There are only a handful of flavors but I highly recommend getting your own cup but it will disappear within 5 minutes between two people. I ordered the cookies and cream in the cup without the waffle. The waffle is good but I'm ready to dig in this delicious! read more

Always a line when we stop by. Located just past the food court in the kiosk area.

We also enjoyed the black sesame ice cream. Definitely will stop by again! read more

Once in a while, I crave soft serve ice cream with a fish waffle cone (taiyaki). Ah-boong at Somi Somi to save the day! There was a bit of a line to order but it moved quickly. Should have went with my usual matcha w/ custard filling but wanted to try something different. Tried the cookies and cream with oreo toppings and nutella filling. It was yummy but should have stuck with more original flavors for that authentic taste. There is a wide variety of flavors, fillings and toppings to choose from that anyone with a sweet tooth would appreciate. Enjoy that waffle cone while it's warm and hot off the press! read more

Oh wow! I tried SomiSomi for the first time yesterday and was so happy that I did. This ice cream dessert spot is so good! This SomiSomi location is located at the food court inside the Del Amo Fashion Center mall near Genghis Khan and MiniSo. There are 3 different options you can choose from. First is ahboong, which is soft-served ice cream with a fish waffle cone. Second is soft serve in a cup. Third is upside down ahboong, which is soft serve in a cup with a fish waffle cone on top. Once you choose from the rotating flavors, you can choose your filling. The filling options are nutella, custard, taro and red bean. Lastly, are the toppings. The great thing about SomiSomi is toppings are unlimited. The topping options that you can choose from are oreo, fruity pebbles, captain crunch, cocoa pebbles and graham crackers. This place is the best! You have to try it! Prices as of April 2023 are $6.95 per ahboong. I would recommend this place to other people. read more

I love Somi Somi. Their Taiyaki is always soft and fresh, and I love the variety in their flavors.

It was delicious, and worth every penny. I'd definitely recommend you check them out. read more

SomiSomi is amazing!! I love all of their stores and recently visited this Del Amo location. I ordered the cookie butter and the cookies and cream swirl which was great and the fruity pebbles topping added a fun pop of color and flavor. In addition to their amazing ice cream, SomiSomi also serves delicious taiyaki. The taiyaki was warm and perfectly cooked, and the combination of the ice cream and taiyaki was heavenly. The only downside to this particular location was that it was in a mall, which isn't ideal. It's also a cart in the mall, but, the quality of the desserts more than made up for the less than ideal location. Overall, I highly recommend SomiSomi for their delicious ice cream and taiyaki. It's definitely one of my favorite dessert places, and I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

We finally tried this after walking by so many times, and now it's one of our favorite desserts. The soft serve itself is good, the tayaki itself is good, and together they are delicious. I prefer the custard filling because it's lighter and doesn't overwhelm the soft serve. I haven't tried any of the toppings yet, but they look good too. read more

This review is only for the taiyaki. I am a HUGE fan of mochi and anything that has that bouncy chewy texture--boba, rice cakes, rice balls, etc. I'd been craving something with mochi and stumbled upon Somi Somi. I remember trying this in LA, but I had the ice cream with the cone on top. During my visit at Del Amo, I got the same but this time with cookies and cream ice cream and Nutella for the fish/cone. I thought it was good, but not great. My husband had gotten the taiyaki with Nutella. I took one bite and was in love. I think I ended up eating more than he did. The warm taiyaki had the most perfect mochi consistency and with the Nutella really could not be any better. I'm so glad we found this spot nearby, I will be by very often! read more

Ive seen SomiSomi in Ktown and wanted to try it. The tayaki smelled so good! We were walking around at the mall and decided to stop by their small kiosk here by the food court. Most of the customers we saw were young middle school girls. Too funny! Anywho, they were out of a lot of flavors. Regardless, this kiosk doesn't offer as much as their other locations. We settled for a swirled ice cream of strawberry and Oreo. The toppings were actually free! My sister chose fruity pebbles and macarons. With the tayaki on top, it looked liked such a unique dessert. They do make the tayaki fresh here, but the other locations make them fresh to order. So you end up smelling the waffle and it tastes a lot fresher and softer. It's a delicious pick me up in the afternoon. It's not all that cheap but it's definitely worth it! We didn't wait long for it to be ready, so that's a definite plus. read more

Somi somi surprisingly has one of the best taro flavors I've tasted. It never disappoints me. The ice cream swirl i got was cookie butter and ube. I couldnt really taste the strong ube flavor, which is why i got the taro filling. It was a good mix though! The disappointment was the breaded fish. Other locations make the bread fresh and you can feel the heat from it coming out, BUT my bread was completely cold. It wasn't toasted or heated at all. Instead of having the warm bread with ice cream, my entire dessert was cold :( read more

After having dinner at Din Tai Fung inside the Fashion mall, Yelp led us here for dessert and I was not disappointed. It was my first time at SomiSomi; I had no idea there were multiple locations around SoCal, but the bottom line is if you're looking for some delightful dessert concoctions and you're a fan of ice cream, don't snooze and get your butt some delicious ice cream here. If you've never tried this, you might be a little confused, but if you're in the mood for ice cream--just go get an upside down taiyaki (fish waffle cone) filled with nutella with your favorite soft serve swirl...and top it with some oreos or something. You simply can't go wrong there. I got the ube and cookies swirl, nutella filled taiyaki with a few toppings. Overall--so delish and fun...and picture-worthy. Except, I accidentally ate it before taking photos - gotta get back in those good Yelp habits. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile now and am so glad I did! My fiancé got the upside down ahboong with ube soft serve and we loved the flavor of the ube. I got two taiyaki, one with taro filling and one with red bean. I was pleasantly surprised that the texture was more like mochi as I am used to the Taiwanese version of it tasting like a soft Belgian waffle. I liked that the desserts were not too sweet at all (the greatest compliment for desserts from an Asian perspective haha iykyk) and had authentic taro and red bean flavors. Will be back soon! read more

I wanted to share some thoughts on my recent visit. The ice cream is fantastic, and I truly appreciate the variety of toppings, which make it a great way to connect with both of my cultures. However, I had an issue with the service I received from one of the employees, whose name tag read Yvon. When I first approached the counter, she mispronounced my name. Then, when I returned to pick up my order, her tone was rushed and her speech was incredibly fast when asking about my toppings, even though there weren't many customers in line. It felt like she wanted to get through the transaction as quickly as possible, which was disappointing. Additionally, when she was adding my toppings, she did so very quickly, without the care or attention (I barley got any coconut flakes) I've experienced at other locations like the Somisomi at Irvine Spectrum, where staff take their time and engage more genuinely. I hope this feedback helps improve customer service at this location, as I've generally had positive experiences elsewhere. Thank you for taking this into consideration. read more

~~~EAST MEETS WEST IS BEST~~~ WATCH THE EPISODE: FIELD DAY² MADANG PLAZA (YT:@BULGOGIBOMBER) MATCHA/THAI TEA SWIRL w/ FRUITY PEBBLES & MACAROON - It's a beautiful thing when food cultures collide. Somisomi brings an Asian twist to an American classic soft-serve ice cream and makes it feel like you're having it for the first time again. The biggest Asian heavy hitting flavors combined into one is an epic blend but swirl combos are in rotation so check in with the store to make sure they have the one you're looking for. The ice cream is housed in my favorite vessel, the taiyaki cone, a fish shaped cone that has a slight crunchy exterior and is soft and fluffy on the inside. You have many topping options to choose from so go with your tummy! It was my first time there but the staff were very patient and helpful as I struggled choosing my flavors and toppings! Thank you for that! read more
