SOMI is one of the four restaurants in the City Kitchen food hall. SOMI's menu lists appetizers such as summer rolls and edamame, salads, rice bowls in over a dozen flavors, several noodle stir-frys, and soups such as ramen and pho. To order food from SOMI, customers sit at a table of their own choosing, and they use their cell-phone cameras to scan a tabletop barcode to access the restaurant's menu and pay. The cooks and waiters usually bring foods to the table in about 10 minutes. In the past two years, I have eaten a few meals at SOMI. For my first visit, I ate a vegetable-shrimp pho, and my husband ate a beef ramen, and we enjoyed these soups. During my second visit, I ordered the Bibimbap with my choice of protein, which was bulgogi beef. Most of the bowl was rice and vegetables. I had expected more beef, but I enjoyed its moderately spicy flavor. My third order was for tom kha ramen. It consisted of a delicious broth and lots of fresh noodles and vegetables. read more

I got the Tom Kha ramen with chicken, which was pretty good (4/5)! There was a lot of chicken and veggies in it! Somi is part of the city kitchen food court, so there are tons of options and other restaurants right there. Because of that, service is a bit more on your own. It is a great environment to meet up with friends, especially if everyone wants something different. read more

I would love your recommendations. The Bulgogi bowl with the ribeye was ok except for the ribeye. Not a ton of flavor. 90% of the meat was stringy and so chewy I could not get through it. I'm really disappointed because there were so many options to choose from and I hope the was worst thing on the menu. Really disappointed. Tell me what I should've ordered instead. read more

Very good Ramen, with excellent noodles, fresh Thai Basil, and delicious broth. Outstanding comfort food, but perhaps lacking complexity. The Boba Tea was good, in particular the tapioca was deliciously moist with the right amount of chewyness. The staff was helpful and welcoming. read more

Somi - the menu of the restaurant - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My absolute favorite place at City Kitchen! All the restaurants are good but there's something extra special about Somi. My favorite is the Tom yum soup with rice noodles and shrimp. It's exquisite!!! They make an amazing bulgogi bowl my husband eats every time too. All the ingredients are fresh and delicious. read more

The food was good and served quickly. Service was okay. I waited a little longer than expected to get a drink refill. Much nicer atmosphere than the place in the strip. read more

Somi was such a wonderful surprise today. The bulgogi egg roll was the best I've ever had anywhere in my life. I don't take that lightly. I love food. Wow! So crunchy and flavorful! The sauce it came with was amazing and packed a punch. I also poured that on the rice and it was awesome. Loved the bulgogi rice bowl. I'm obsessed with bulgogi. Any time I go to a Korean Restaurant, that's what I must have. It didn't disappoint. It was so crunchy and well seasoned. I'll be dreaming of this meal for a while. Next time, I'm getting my egg rolls again and trying the spicy tuna poke bowl. I'd come constantly if I lived closer. Do yourself a favor and eat here. Wow! read more

Stopped in for a working lunch and definitely wasn't disappointed! Somi is located in Galley Bakery Square, which features a few different restaurant windows as well as a bar. There's indoor and outdoor seating available, and when we stopped in there were plenty of dogs on the patio. Bakery Square is a pretty trendy area -- it's home of the Pittsburgh Google campus, some cool new condos, and coworking spaces -- so seeing lots of young professionals and their furry friends was no surprise. The Galley seems easy enough to navigate overall once you know what you're doing. The girl at the Somi window answered my questions, but here are a few things it might help to know before you go: 1. Grab your table first. Each one has a number, so drop your stuff and then head to the window of your chosen restaurant to order. 2. Your food will be brought to your table. You don't have to hang around and wait for the order to be up -- once you give them your table number, they'll bring out your meal when it's ready. 3. Leave your trash on the table. Someone is usually walking around to clear dishes. They might even get to you before you get up to leave. But you don't have to take your dishes anywhere when you're done. Now for the food itself. Somi had a pretty decent selection of Asian-inspired bowls and plates. I went with the lemongrass chicken curry, and it was SO GOOD. I haven't gotten anything at a restaurant that I liked quite that much in a long time. Came with fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the bowl, and it was *chefs kiss* delicious. We also sprang for the limeade. They had a couple of fancy flavors. They were out of the lavender (and the boba bubbles -- you can order your specialty drinks with boba if you want), but the sparkling limeade was still light and refreshing. Overall it was a lovely spring lunch on a lovely spring day. Very much recommend checking Somi out. Will have to stop back to try some of the other restaurants Galley Bakery Square has to offer! read more

So so so so so so salty. And I LOVVVVVVE salt. Way too salty, inedible unfortunately.

I got some kind of spicy pork belly bowl. One it wasn't spicy at all. But I have a very high spice threshold so that's fine. The pork belly was eh and I loved pork belly. And the worst part was that the rice was so hard. I put my chopsticks through and lifted it like a lollipop. Expensive and not worth it at all. read more

Good flavor but not authentic. First of all, I didn't know it was inside of the city kitchen until I read the reviews. So it took me a little bit to find the spot. The food is so overpriced(or is it just nowadays price?) Authentic bibimbap would come with couple different kinds of stir fried vegetables along with the choice of protein. This one was just meat and sunny side up egg. The sauce was already mixed in with the chicken, make it no room for customization. Usually sauce comes on the side so one can decide how spicy/salty they prefer. The kimchi was good, but the other three pickled vegetables were on the saltier side. Good choice if you happen to be near by but I probably would not make a trip over to seek it out. read more

Good mix of Asian inspired food. I ordered spicy gochujang dry ramen and Korean fries. Their Korean fries are a great shareable appetizer. The portion size for mains is also pretty good. The food was presented pretty well. Service was pretty quick. The staff is always pleasant and helpful with questions about the menu. Parking is easily available in Bakery Square. read more

Love love love. I've been the Bakery Square Galley twice now and each time I have gone to Somi. I crave a poke bowl about once a week and this place has a DELICIOUS poke bowl. It's listed as a Hawaiian Poke Bowl and comes with options but I get mine as Spicy Tuna. I also order a bubble tea with bursting boba. So good. And so fast. Next time I go I will most likely get another poke bowl, even with 3 other restaurants in the galley. read more

Somi is in The Gallery at Bakery Square. This is one of 4 options you can choose from and I'd recommend this place highly. They offer a modern twist to the table. Vegan and gluten free options are available which I always love to see. The food here is real, true, filling, and an experience. I ordered the SOMI BIBIMBAP as pictured that I took. This bowl was a lot bigger than I thought which made me happy. The egg was perfect, rice done excellently, the meat cooked so savory. This bowl was a lot of flavor and filled me up perfectly. I can't imagine what their other dishes are like and I'll soon be finding out. Hope that this place opens it own spot for sure. Lots of potential here. Definitely stop by and get some! read more

Always a winner for me! I love this place. Bakery square is always a fun atmosphere, Some adds to that with great service and delicious bites! My go to are the bulgoli eggrolls, the Korean fries and recently my friend let me try the Pork Belly Bibimbap bowl. SOOOO GOOD. So flavorful, and such a decent sized serving. I have been craving it ever since and regret not stealing her dish and running! The sauce that they use for the fries and the egg roll are so addictive. Only problem with the egg rolls is I could literally eat like a whole bag of them if it was socially acceptable! read more

Somi - Korean Fries and the Bulgoli Eggrolls - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Excellent Asian Fusion. All dishes we ordered are highly recommended. Vegan Pho - great, simple, all little different than traditional.... has mint Korean stir fry - has sweet potato noodles... unexpectedly excellent! Can't really taste the sweet potato flavor, but the dish is sweet over all. Very good! Somi Bibimbop - great also, though spicy Would highly recommend this place - a little pricey, but convenient if you're staying at the nearby Marriot. read more

Somi is a great new Asian fusion restaurant in the East Liberty area. Prices are on higher end however the quality of the food is great. Feels like you're more so paying for the experience of the whole Galley, but none the less the food is delicious. Had the Hawaiian Poke, Bibimbap with Pork Belly, and of course the Korean style fries!!! read more

Stopped by the Galley Bakery Square for brunch. Had to pick one of the four places and chose Somi for my brunch. The seating area is nice and new and well organized. The garage door was open to the outside and a jazz group was playing outside. My sunny egg & crispy tempura shrimp was very good with a nice egg on top and some sushi rice with a spring mix of greens. The shrimp was cooked perfectly but one piece did have the tail of the shrimp still attached and with the tempura coating did not notice until I took a bite. All in all, a nice experience and looking forward to trying the non-brunch menu. read more

Located in Galley Bakery Square, it was by far the most popular food concept of the four. I would definitely get the Hawaiian Poke bowl with spicy tuna again! When I got in line, I was going to order two starters, and entree and a lavender lemonade. Yep, just for me and offering to share with my table. By the time, I reached the counter to place my order, I'd narrowed it down to just the entree as the menu offerings were so enticing but my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The person taking orders was very nice and helpful. I'm not sure how I feel about tipping when located in a food hall. Also, see my review of Galley Bakery Square to round out my dining experience of eating at Somi. read more

The Bulgogi bowel was too salty, we added on extra beef and vegetables I was tweeking for that Korean dish I've had it before it was delicious, but not today. read more

I ordered the general tso's from Somi. It came out super fast and was a huge portion. The people working there were really friendly and accommodating. I asked for sriracha on the side because I like it extra spicy and would definitely recommend! read more

I was excited to stop by Galley Bakery Square for the first time. Somi offers a variety of different Americanized brunch offerings with a variety of Asian influences from Japanese, Poke, Korean, etc. I ordered their take on eggs benedict with pork belly. The portion was great as it wasn't too small or to large. Everything was excellent from the presentation to the eggs. I would probably try Somi again before trying another one of the restaurants here. read more

Got to love a place that has people waiting in line for 25+ minutes and then turns those people away. You wasted our time. We could have ordered food from other places and as much as your menu looks amazing... we won't be trying it. Stay away from this place with horrible customer service. read more

The menu in concept might be a bit better than the reality. I enjoyed the bibimbap, but we were disappointed that the egg came pre-cooked, and the dish needs more vegetables to balance it. The location (the Galley) is nifty, as long as you don't mind the noise. read more

Loved the food here. I ordered filet mignot bibimbap and the portion was big! My friends ordered the bulbogi ramen and she claimed it was great as well. Please note that this is Asian fusion so it's not the real thing but still tasted good. There's a fee for using cc- which i wasn't made aware of. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. read more

The food here is innovative and full of flavor! I was lucky enough to order the Vietnamese lemongrass chicken and the fried edamame. I was content with all that I ordered. Everything tasted fresh. The chicken was moist, cut in perfect bite sized pieces and the rice was amazing together. I love it when rice captures all the excess sauce from whatever food it's served with.. this is exactly what happened. The lemongrass flavor blended well with all the other flavors and was the right amount. I ate my entire bowl so quickly. The edamame was good too, I was not sure what to expect when I saw deep fried edamame... basically the edamame is sautéed in flavors that made it taste sweet and salty. The person behind the counter was also kind :) read more

I always have an amazing experience when I eat at Somi. They're extremely consistent and they have a very friendly staff. I've had the Korean Stir Fry, Somi Bibimbap, and Shaking Beef and Chimichurri! The appetizers are a must try too. The food is always beautiful, very delicious, and perfectly portioned. I love The Galley Concept! You order up at any of the four individual restaurants and find a seat. Somi does a wonderful job at bringing the food out at good times. If you visit Pittsburgh, I would highly recommend Somi! Healthy, fresh, and will give you energy to take on the day. read more

Located in Galley Bakery Square. We decided to try their brunch and it was really good, the sauces had nice flavors. The bacon on the bibimbap was thick and I liked that the Korean Breakfast Sandwich came with a side salad. Definitely more of a healthy brunch with fresh ingredients. read more

Somi can truly never close or I will cry. I have missed Asian Fusion food SO MUCH since going gluten free and Somi has everything I have been looking for! The lemongrass curry and Korean noodle stir fry are beyond amazing and flavorful. I get both every time because I can never pick and enjoy the leftovers for lunch. Always perfectly executed and ready so quickly! read more

My food smelled so good that I forgot to take a picture! I ate here on a Wednesday and split the Bulgogi Beef Egg Rolls with my husband to start. They were bursting with flavor and came with a nice dipping sauce. My entree was the Chicken and Broccoli rice bowl, which seemed underwhelming on appearance but was actually delicious! A surprising amount of flavors which I loved! A little pricey but since it is a small concept, I recommend it. read more

I am a Ramen lover; I've eaten great Ramen all over the USA including several trips to Ivan Ramen (featured on Chef's Table) when in NYC and Somi is right there! Finally, in my opinion Pittsburgh has a top quality ramen spot. They actually prepare the pork well, so flavorful and tender. I had the Brunch Ramen and my partner the Tom Kha Ramen and both were really really great. Highly suggest giving this place a try. I will be going back and hoping they make it into their own spot outside of the galley! read more

I was not impressed with the flavor of the food here. I also was served egg on top of my meal in addition to the tofu I selected as the protein. The menu lists egg directly after all the proteins to choose from (comma between all proteins and egg) so it was not clear that egg is going to be added no matter what protein is selected. The price is outrageous for a medium sized bowl of food ($18). I could get the same thing at a different restaurant for better flavor and half the price. I would not eat here ever again. read more

Any menu says Korean are NOT Korean food.. not even close.. Foods here made me upset that the menu says 'Korean' food. As a Korean, if you want to try real Korean food, stay away from this place. read more

Ridiculously overpriced food. Terrible service. Stay away. Ordered tempura shrimp with rice and ice tea to go from a sullen, unpleasant woman at the cash register. $28 was the total, including the "credit card fee" - something they charge but don't tell you about. Stood and waited for 15 minutes while four people in line behind me got their food, one of them - exactly the same thing I ordered . Asked them to check on the order. Total confusion. Finally found the order except it was in a ceramic bowl for eating in. Canceled the order, wasted 20 minutes of my lunch hour. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

recently had a Jasmine boba tea from Somi that was out of this world! If your looking for good food and a good time this is the place to be.

I was already in a bad mood because I had a terrible day just to be excited to get food and then be treated terrible as soon as I hit the counter. This blond girl was giving dirty looks the whole time and then she served us and there was a long blonde hair inside of my food. Terrible customer service I do not recommend this place if the workers can't even be respectful to people that are spending money in the establishment they work at. read more

Small servings, too salty. Wonderful flavor combinations, with offerings of octopus, avocado, and more uncommon flavors and combinations. Great location and ambience for outdoor dining. read more

A small local restaurant with great service, food, and overall experience! Definitely a go-to-place for Asian Fusion. There are 2 dishes you must try...the Shaking Beef w/ Chimichurri rice bowl & the Somi Bibimbap because they are incredible (They also offer many vegetarian dishes). The owner made me a sparkling strawberry coconut drink that I am obsessed with. I highly recommend this restaurant. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more
