Bellevue has so many dessert options and ice cream + taiyaki is just what I'm in a mood for today! This place can get busy and they only have one ordering station with a touchscreen so be prepared to wait during peak times. There is no place to sit but some spots to stand in front of a counter like table. I ordered the Ube + Matcha swirl ice cream with upside down taiyaki with sesame filling. This is one order but I want to rate them separately since it's such a difference in taste experience. Taiyaki + Sesame filling (5/5) Fantastic light crunch and amazing sesame flavor. This was a delight to eat and wonderfully fried. It was not too oily and the sesame filling was not overly sweet. I'd come back again and again just to eat this! Ube / Matcha swirl ice cream (2/5) There was almost no matcha taste at all. In fact, you'd have to close your eyes and try really hard to extract maybe possibly a hint of it? The ube faired a bit better but the same lacking in flavor. The ice cream as a whole tasted a bit too sweet and artificial and lacked any flavor to it and I believe it's because it's just mostly milk. I inhaled the taiyaki but I only at half of the ice cream. If I'm in the mood for it again, I'll come back and give other flavors a chance. Or if they permit, I'll just order only a sesame taiyaki because it's so good.
Food - Yummy soft serve and taiyaki options. There's a variety of flavors to pick and choose from. Service - Fast and friendly service. You get to pick additional toppings. When your order is called. Self order. Ambiance - Simple shop, no seating
I always stop by this spot when I'm in Bellevue because it is truly that amazing! The icecream is incredibly creamy, has the perfect amount of sweetness, and the options for toppings and swirls of different flavors make it the best sweet treat. They also have rotation flavors, so there are frequently new options to try. It's also very fairly priced in comparison to other icecream places nowadays! The staff is kind and the line moved very quickly.
This was such an amazing experience! I loved the various choices and the rotating flavors. I got the strawberry matcha soft serve and it was so smooth! I loved the combo of the waffle on top and the choices for fillings. I do wish there were more size options because the portion was massive and I couldn't finish. I also wish there was seating inside. The server was so kind and helpful with choosing out options!
Went here for dessert. It was yummy and not too heavy. Service and ambiance was good. No seating available but counters available to enjoy your soft serve. Recommend to try!
I came on a Friday night with my daughter to do a daddy-daughter date. Unfortunately one of the machines couldn't do the mix, but the service was great. I really enjoyed the macron that they added to the ice cream. It felt a touch pricy, but in reality, I'm just out of touch with inflation. I would come back again to do a fun light dessert!
First time trying taiyaki with soft serve. Order at the kiosk but staff was friendly and greeted us right away. Lots of options for flavors and toppings. We store is very clean and has a long counter to enjoy your treats inside. The strawberry was light and delicious. I liked that it wasn't dyed red but was natural strawberry color. Delicious.
The product is great. My kids had cookies and cream, strawberry and I had a twist of matcha and Ube. Waffles made to order so they're super fresh. It was understaffed when we went. Only one worker and a constant line so be patient. No seating inside which makes it tricky. There is a bar height counter but that's not very kid friendly. It would be nice to add some seating for people to enjoy their ice cream in the store. There's no seating or benches in the vicinity.
Came on a Thursday night and was quite disappointed to find out they only had two flavors on the menu (cookies and cream + strawberry) since all the others sold out. Tried the cookies and cream flavor and it was alright - it wasn't very cookie flavor heavy, which is what I was expecting. I'd just go get a McFlurry to satisfy the craving next time. They do offer free toppings and a free macaron shell which is nice though. Ordering is self serve and the place is pretty small with a standing bar height table. As for parking, there's tons since it's in a plaza shared with other businesses. Overall, I'd come again if in the area but definitely wouldn't drive far only to get this.
I'm glad I discovered this spot - will be coming often! Have gotten 2 things and both were amazing.
We had Somi Somi in Sacramento before and we loved it. I am happy it came to Bellevue. I had the green tea and ube swirl and my family had the upside down fish with peach ice cream. The portion is good and we can add toppings too at the end. It's perfect dessert on a hot summer day. The only thing is that there was only one staff that has to ring up ppl and also make the dessert so it takes a bit longer.
Came to try the new banana pudding soft serve on opening day! Super yummy and really happy that I got to try it tonight. BIG shout-out to Timothy who worked all by themselves. He was super kind and accommodating even though there was a very long queue. The owner/manager dropped the ball and really should take care of their employees better. Timothy was amazing despite this being a terrible management decision. Thank you Timothy for holding down the fort and getting us all banana pudding soft serve!!!
We had an upside down soft serve. Lots of great choices. We chose nutella filled fish. Tasty. Ice cream was great! We had a special Seahawks Super Bowl soft serve creation and a matcha & Ube swirl with fruity pebbles. Both were great! We tried the cheddar taiyaki and it was our favorite! We also tried the Oreo taiyaki and it was a quintessential cookies and cream flavor you'd expect. I'd absolutely go back!
4.5 stars! There is something for everyone here! My partner and I wanted to get a sweet treat after a movie and this was one of the few places open late. We are both a fan of ice cream so we were excited to find this place. The menu is pretty simple which makes ordering simple too. There are several ways to get your soft serve but we decided to get the soft serve with the upside down taiyaki which was so good! You can choose your soft serve with just one flavor but they offer a mix too. You can also choose what filling the taiyaki has. I chose the strawberry and matcha mix soft serve and then I chose a matcha cream filling. You are also able to add toppings after and I went with a Biscoff topping. The soft serve was not overly sweet and the flavors blended super well. The taiyaki was also nice and crisp and the cream filling was perfect. Overall, one of my favorite desserts I have had in a while. The service was also super fast and super friendly. There were not any seats inside so it makes it hard to eat there but we just enjoyed the ice cream in the car. I am excited to return soon! read more
This was a fun desert stop after dinner. I had not had these before but it was certainly fun and delicious. I ordered the upside down and glad I did. After watching others try to eat, rather fast I might add, the ice cream on top was entertaining. The quality of the ice cream, custard filling, and Ah-Boong was good. They make them to order, which makes them fresh and hot! Love the different flavors. I wish they had a place to sit and enjoy the ice cream, but otherwise a fun visit. read more
SomiSomi is in a simple, easy-to-access location, which makes it convenient to stop by. The overall atmosphere felt a bit underwhelming. The store was very quiet, and the cleanliness could have been better. The service was okay but nothing particularly memorable. The staff wasn't rude, but a friendlier and more welcoming attitude would have improved the visit. On the positive side, the product itself was solid. The ice cream and taiyaki tasted good and were comparable in flavor and quality to other SomiSomi locations I've visited. The food definitely met expectations and was the highlight of the experience. read more

This place is okay. The space is open, but mainly for standing, and modern. It's a bit of a mess, and they don't seem to be very good at picking up after themselves or keeping up on cleaning, restocking, and maintenance. They were out of napkins out front and toilet paper in the bathroom when I was there. They did restock the napkins when I told them, but a customer shouldn't have to tell them that. The flavors are kind of subdued. To me, the whole thing was more visually appealing than it was tasty. They do have a fairly large selection of flavors. It's a fun place for the novelty of it, but I wouldn't go back read more

Cute and fun place to grab dessert with friends anytime! Especially nice in the summertime when you can stand outside and enjoy it in the evenings. From my experience at this particular location, anticipate a 5-10 minute wait as large groups like to go after dinner. The most recent time I went they appeared understaffed as well or at least unprepared for the amount of visitors that night. My friend ordered a cold brew float with soft serve and I am definitely trying that next time. read more
Been a while since we last visited but what intrigued me was a new flavor that I just had try, horchata, and glad we we stopped by. It had a nice creamy texture with a slight hint of cinnamon and not overly sweet which is why I love all their favorites including ube. The service was good and overall the place is very clean and no frills just a stand up counter. Will def need to come back more often! read more

There was a small line but the staff was nice and it didn't take long to get my treat! It was amazing! read more
delicious. wish they had chairs and more staff. also i wish the oreo ice cream was more oreo-y, it barely counts as cookies and cream in my opinion. the ube + cookies and cream swirl ice cream just straight up tasted like ube read more
Somisomi is a happy place. I love their simplistic interior/ ambience. Their ice creams and taiyaki are so delicious and the staff are quite courteous. Ive tried a few combinations but I'm a big fan of the Red bean tayaki combination with Ube ice cream. You can also do this combination as a Ahbong. Enjoy. Plenty of parking in this strip mall too. read more

I stopped in while waiting for a takeout order in the same plaza. I didn't realize it was self-order at the counter, so I waited around for a bit at first. The employee was friendly and helpful when I had a question about the menu. There aren't any chairs inside, which isn't ideal if you're waiting for your order or hoping to enjoy your dessert there. That said, the space is clean and well-kept. The soft serve was pretty good (very creamy) but nothing to write home about in my opinion read more
My son and I craved a soft-serve on the warm Spring evening, and decided to visit Somisomi in Bellevue. Matcha and Milk is what we went for, along with Taiyaki we took home, and all were pretty good. Portion was bigger than I expected, and we were full (even skipped dinner, lol). I would come back to try other flavors. read more

Service here was super friendly, and quick too! My boyfriend had never had taiyaki before and he got to try it here, he liked it! Lots of customization available here and it's pretty affordable I'd say, for soft serve that you customize. Many toppings to choose from, swirled flavors together, can do taiyaki on top or below, or just soft serve. Really enjoyed the soft serve here, 10/10 would go back. There's some standing area in there but nowhere to sit so we just took it to go and ate in our car. read more
Currently, we have waited 30 mins, and there has only been a few people in front of us being served. One employee working by himself. Order on touch screen as you enter. This could be a hopping place for trendy desserts, but it's a little sad inside as there is no music and we are all just staring at the employee making the food hoping it's our turn. Flavors ran out at 7pm. No Ube, Earl Grey, matcha, cookies and cream. There is only one machine working, and it was making a noise which sounded like it was on its last leg. In fact, we had the change our order as the milk was not working. 3 groups left during our waiting period. Hopefully the owner of this establishment reads the reviews and hire more people. The worker behind the counter was most apologetic for the delay and the issue with order. Hopefully he won't be burned out with job and will get assistance. read more
Really good value for soft serve in Bellevue! They have interesting Asian flavours like banana milk. Delicious and very instagrammable. They also have a wide variety of toppings. I really love how you can add matcha powder, and other options to add that a crunch to your dessert. Service is really fast and there's lots of seating inside. Will go back to try their taiyaki options. read more
I am not a dessert or ice cream/soft serve person but because I don't eat much sugar normally, every time I consume sugar, I get so surprised how good it is haha. This was no exception. There were so many people in line waiting so I am probably not wrong in my review. Not overly sweet but yet it still packs the flavors. Taiyaki is a very nice touch. The place was clean but it didn't really have much going on. It's not really designed to be a place where you hang out. I recommend it. Of all the flavors I got to try, I preferred Ube the most. read more
I absolutely love this place for a little dessert! The service is quite fast and you get to choose what you want inside of it which I love. They have a lot of variety to pick from so there's new combinations to try everytime read more

SomiSomi is the best of the best. I first tried SomiSomi in San Francisco a while ago when this location and the one in Southcenter opened. I told my friends about it because obviously it was new to the area and they wouldn't know much unless they're more native to California. While the Southcenter location was a bit bumpy to start, the two locations are now fantastic and are a delight each visit, even now! Not only is the soft serve here great, but the taiyaki is also one of the best. With a mochi like texture, there are crispy edges and a chewy interior alongside whatever filling you opt for. Oh and the price is great when compared to other soft serve. Also, all toppings are free (included). You already pay before so don't forget that. Though no toppings is perfectly optimal because their soft serve is delicious and the flavor shines. FYI - keep up with their weekly flavors via social media. Always get an upside down ahboong. The taiyaki for the ahboong isn't as mochi-like, but the overall experience is dreamy. Crispy taiyaki with a hint of filling on top of soft serve with any toppings you desire? Phenomenal. read more

Its soooo good i swallowed it before i could take a picture Please get the matcha ice cream w the custard aboong best thing ive eaten in seattle read more
SomiSomi is the best boongeoppang/taiyaki dessert place in the US, hands down. I've tried various shops across the country but nothing hits the spot like SomiSomi. The ube and matcha swirl is my favorite, and what I got this time as well, with red bean filled ahboong. The bread is pillowy with the right amount of not-too-sweet filling, and the ice cream flavors are done really well. This location was clean and spacious, but without any seating (table available). There is plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall. Service was friendly as well. read more
