Tom Kha Ramen with Chicken
Ryan S.

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.

the menu of the restaurant
David B.

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.

The most delicious egg rolls that I've had in my life anywhere period. Hello!
Nancy C.

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!

Lemongrass chicken curry with sparkling lavender limeade
Melissa P.

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!

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.

Ankita S.

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.

Hawaiian Poke Bowl and bubble tea
Brandywyne D.

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.

SOMI BIBIMBAP
Tyler E.

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!

Korean Fries and the Bulgoli Eggrolls
Chelsey D.

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!

Somi Bibimbop Great, little spicy depending on your tastes
Linnea M.

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.

Chris G.

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!!!

Hawaiian poke
Ellen K.

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.

Brunch menu
Danny N.

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.

The funky vibe never disappoints, and the servers were friendly and attentive without hovering. My husband and I kicked things off with the Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps, which disappeared way too quickly. I ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice with spicy tuna, crispy fried sushi rice, jalapeño, and avocado. It was the perfect balance of crunch, spice, and freshness. My husband went with the Chirashi Bowl, packed with tuna, salmon, hamachi, roe, seaweed salad, avocado, shiso, chives, and sushi rice. We wrapped things up with the Chocolate Maki, because apparently "we'll just skip dessert" is something people say but never actually do. The dark chocolate mousse, chocolate pistachio crêpe, and pistachio cream were rich, decadent, and worth every bite. Soba continues to prove that even a random Wednesday can feel like a night out. Guess we'll have to keep coming back for quality control.

The atmosphere at Soba is undeniably gorgeous and fancy, and from a service standpoint, the staff was a absolute super. We had a large party, and even though joining tables isn't really their standard setup, they were incredibly patient, gracious, and accommodated us without hesitation. Our server was super knowledgeable, gave great recommendations, and we ad fun all night right up until closing. The appetizers started off strong: the Shrimp Tempura was wonderfully crispy with a delicious dipping sauce, the Tuna Crispy Rice was great, and the Double Salmon Roll had an (interesting) exotic twist with jalapeño on top. Unfortunately, things took a sharp turn with my main dish, the Crab Fried Rice. While the portion was huge, the flavor was extremely bland and flat--the crab got completely lost in a sea of rice. Worse, it was absolutely overwhelmed by an HUGE amount of cilantro; even as someone who likes cilantro, finding a giant bunch buried in the bowl totally ruined the dish. My friends' dishes, like the Chirashi, looked an tasted much better. To make matters worse, a few hours after returning home, I became violently ill and stayed sick for the entire next day--something that almost never happens to me. While I truly appreciate the incredible hospitality and front-of-house team, the combination of a disappointing dish and getting so sick afterward makes it impossible for me to give this place more than 2 stars.

The online ordering experience was straightforward, and our takeout order was ready exactly when we expected it to be. Everything was nicely packaged. In terms of the food, it was fine. We had previously tried the salad roll as an appetizer, and went for the Took Took's roll this time. That worked well. The shrimp and crab meet is an interesting choice, but it was generally good. The tom yum soup was pretty spot on. The Pad Kra Paw and Pad Pak (both with vegetables rather than protein) were basically indistinguishable. Both good, but very similar. The Panang curry with tofu was good but was more tofu than vegetable. Not particularly noteworthy. One detail I'll note is that they allow for selecting a spiciness level for basically every dish, on a scale from zero to five. We went with a four, which is pretty standard for us. Turns out, that's very spicy at Took Took. That's what we ordered, but it's worth keeping in mind. Overall, this is a good destination. The food is nicely prepared. It's a good overall experience. It's just not at the top of my list for Thai food in Pittsburgh.

We ordered the roti with tofu instead of chicken though when it came out it was not vegetarian. Luckily, I spotted it and they remade the dish for me. We also got the green mango salad and mushroom laab- all so yummy! The bartender was really great at giving us lots of information and helping us decide what to get and the ambience and vibe is so stunningly beautiful but the food definitely matches that. I will be telling everyone to visit when they're in Pittsburgh and I can't wait to visit again myself.

I wouldn't really call this a supper club to be honest but the place definitely carries a house music bar vibe and the back bar area and seating is very dimly lit, perfect for cozying up and enjoying a drink late night. The ladies' room was so dark, I mistook it for a storage area because I could only make out a white ladder in the corner that was being used as cute shelving. The place is seat yourself. Our waiter was not super friendly and didn't offer to give us napkins or anything when our wobbly table caused our drinks to splash all over the place. The cook served our chicken with a big smile and happy interaction and we really loved his personality. The bartender also stopped by to bus our table and he was very pleasant as well. We enjoyed the perfectly fried small plate cauliflower with the plum sauce and the fried cheese/garlic wonton bites with the sriracha mayo spicy dipping sauce. The fried chicken breast on the large plate was slightly overcooked with a maple gochuchang sauce that was very bland. We were so thankful that the large plate fried chicken came with a side salad to offer some respite from the heaviness of the fried dishes. It would have been great to have some side acidic or fresh vegetable options like Kimchi or something. Maybe we tried the wrong dishes and there are other not fried things that are delicious? The dirty martini cocktail was just so-so, not really much flavor at all, but the mojito was very good and refreshing. It's probably a good late-night place for a bite and drink.

They have a lot of outdoor dining space available, which is great and they have a large green area that #MIN kids were running around on. They were watching the world soccer game amongst other things. There are several different kitchen options to order from everything is done through the app. There is a parking garage nearby, which I highly recommend parking in as parking is super tight in this area. There are multiple other businesses here and dining experiences, which is great because you can walk around and experience them all if you want to. It is super loud outside, so it's very hard to hear people even just sitting across from you and having a conversation. We ordered from the City kitchen and chose the beef Bulgogi eggrolls to start with. Only two come in order which I was disappointed by so we ended up ordering two orders, but the food was good. Later on in the evening, I also ordered the coconut curry stir fry with chicken. Definitely a hearty dish with great flavor and there are noodles in this. I honestly wish that there would've been more of the curry in it because the noodles soaked up everything so there was really no additional broth or anything in the bowl.
