Flavors are posted on Instagram and I was excited to see a pistachio soft serve with a take on a dubai chocolate filling inside the taiyaki so I ordered this combo (note this special filling is an additional $1.75). I also added biscoff crumbs and while I only live 10 mins away, the soft serve does melt quite quickly in the short drive despite the cooler weather we had that day. I was excited for the pistachio soft serve, but it was quite underwhelming and honestly, I almost wondered if they had accidentally given me milk since it was quite beige in appearance and if it was pistachio, it was very, very subtle. I wished they had combined the pistachio and matcha soft serve, but not bad. There was a small redemption with the Dubai chocolate taiyaki, but for $8.70 before tax, I would be more inclined to try other desserts instead.

The service is usually good and I enjoy coming here for a sweet treat. However, I've tried to come in at least three times this past week but it's been closed every time. I don't know what's going on but I think it's very unprofessional to have the store closed on multiple random days. There was even a sign posted that said they'd be back on the 26th, but it was closed. I'm very disappointed with this business and I won't be them my money anymore.

Visited Somi Somi after dinner with my grandma and sister for a quick dessert, and it was a nice little treat. We ordered the banana and matcha soft serve, and as always, Somi Somi's soft serve was incredibly creamy -- this visit was no exception. They weren't busy at all, so we walked right in and got served immediately. The only downside was that our taiyaki fish bread wasn't warm, likely because there weren't many customers and they weren't making them as frequently. Overall, still a good visit for creamy soft serve, but I definitely prefer when the shop is a bit busier so the fish bread comes out hot and fresh.

Coming from LA, Somi Somi was one of my go-to spots, so I was so excited to find one here in AZ! The quality and flavors are just as amazing as I remember. Their soft serve is super creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet honestly some of the best ice cream anywhere. But the real star for me is the stuffed taiyaki. I always get mine filled with Nutella, and it's absolute heaven: warm, soft, and gooey on the inside, with the perfect little crisp on the outside. Paired with the soft serve, it's the ultimate treat. So happy this place exists here now. I'll definitely be coming back all the time, just like I did in LA!

Banana pudding x matcha swirl with a macaron cookie
Miranda N.

I love this type of dessert place - soft serve/taitaki. And I love that Somi Somi has a rotating seasonal flavor - I've tried corn and banana pudding. I got the banana pudding mixed with matcha. I was so excited for banana pudding, but it tasted like creamy artificial banana. And in the swirl, the banana pudding flavor was overpowered by the matcha. The matcha flavor itself was not particularly very matcha-y either. I had a similar experience when I got the corn/matcha swirl too unfortunately. The seating is also not the best. It's just bench seating, so not very comfortable, and no tables. Service has always been good though!

Matcha and Milk Swirl Soft Serve
Chloe G.

I love Somisomi! Their soft serve is something I always look forward to when in Chandler or California. Smooth ice cream with fun flavors and complimentary topping. I love the taiyaki cone with Nutella! I think they regularly have matcha, ube, milk, and red bean as their flavors. Sometimes they have limited edition ones! The store has been quiet every time I've gone in, which means quick service! Looking forward to coming back!

We walked in this cute place for the first time. The lady employee was working by herself. She started getting much busier after we ordered. She was very professional, positive, and welcoming. She gave great customer service even under pressure! The matcha ice cream is AMAZING!!!

This place is bombbbbb for dessert. The taiyaki was really good and I accompanied it with milk ice cream and peach swirl. The inside was clean and spacious and the workers were friendly.

Dalgona Soft Serve with Nutella Filled Ah-Bong and Biscoff Crumbles + Coconut Flakes
Olivia K.

A delicious little dessert spot! Had to remove a star for the ambiance- there was no indoor seating and for some reason, we were not allowed to sit on the benches while we waited. However, the food was delicious! I ordered an upside-down Ah-boong (filled fish pastry and soft serve) to share.We chose the nutella filling with the dalgona flavored soft serve, and topped with biscoff crumbles and coconut flakes. We also ordered 5 taiyaki to go- Matcha, Black Sesame, Red Bean, Nutella, and Oreo. The soft serve was delicious- it had a subtle, delicate, caramelized sugar flavor that was accented beautifully by the toppings we chose. The crispy filled shell goes together amazingly with the soft serve- my only wish was that the dalgona flavor could have been slightly stronger in the soft serve! The Taiyakis were also delicious- my favorite was the Nutella and the Matcha Custard. The crispy outer shell combined with the mochi-like inside and the warm filling was heavenly! The Black Sesame could have been a bit sweeter, but I appreciate that they have sweet and less sweet options for palates of all kinds. They also keep and reheat well if you are looking for a to-go treat to eat later. A great spot for a delicious dessert!

Delicious sweet treat! Loved the ube and milk swirl ice cream. Taiyaki tasted fresh - crispy on outside and soft inside. Storefront is very clean and basic. Service was friendly. Would definitely recommend for your next sweet craving.

Matcha / oreo swirl with oreo powder on top and two fresh strawberries
Christa M.

I always walk by this place since we visit this plaza often but had not made it in. I finally decided to give them a try and wow, was I blown away. The workers were friendly and greeted us as we walked in. They were out of the "fish bowl" but we were told we could get our ice cream in a cup. We opted for an Oreo and matcha swirl in a small cup with sprinkled Oreo dust and two strawberries. The swirl combination we picked was delicious! The texture of the ice cream was creamy and very rich in flavor. The strawberries were super sweet and big! Now I know why this place is always busy - it's pretty good!

Stopped in for my first experience after eating nearby and was not disappointed. Ordering is easy, there are four items to choose from and then a selection of options from there, but very user friendly. I ordered the upside down with cookies and cream and matcha soft serve and my taiyaki filled with custard. My order was called within a minute or two and I was given options of toppings as well as a mini macaroon and strawberry's. The cookies and cream soft serve was delicious but I was not a fan of the matcha. Thats not a fault of somisomi, I just wasn't a fan. The taiyaki was the star of the show I my opinion, it was fresh and crunch but soft. This was my first time trying this dessert and I'm glad I did. The custard filling was tasty, not too sweet. The combo of all three was perfect in my opinion. Staff was friendly and inside was clean and inviting. I will definitely be back and highly recommend checking this place out!

Black sesame ice cream with crumbled Biscoff topping
Bethany W.

I always love to get Somisomi wherever I go and I was pleasantly suprised to find one in Chandler when I came for work! My only comments (if this makes it back to a higher up haha): the black sesame ice cream could use a LITTLE more black sesame and the matcha custard is too sweet and concentrated in my opinion haha. Other than that, I love this chain. Service is fast and there's usually space to eat inside or outside with groups. If you haven't tried it, you must.

The Golden original (left side of the picture): it was really crispy on the outside, and the meat is steaming hot on the inside. I like the battered texture of the outside, however because the batter is quite thick so I got tired of the dish after 2 pieces. The pieces were really big. Secret sauce flavor: the sauce was nice, it tastes similar to a soy garlic flavor. I like this one better than the golden original. Overall the food was delicious and the staff were nice. The restaurant has plenty of seating. FYI: the pickle radish side dish is not free. It's $2 extra, which I'm not sure if it just this location that charges it or entire Bbq chain. But I went to a different BB.Q and the side dish was free.

Korean BBQ is all about timing, attentiveness, and energy -- and he mastered all three. He was incredibly attentive without hovering. Our table was never cluttered, drinks were always refilled before we even had to think about it, and the meat rotations were perfectly timed. At a place like Gen where the pace can make or break the experience, he kept everything flowing smoothly. What impressed us most was his professionalism and attitude. He was knowledgeable about the menu, quick with recommendations, and confident in explaining different cuts and options. He made sure we understood how everything worked and checked in consistently to ensure we had exactly what we needed. But beyond just doing his job, he had that rare quality of genuine service. Friendly, respectful, efficient, and personable. You can tell he takes pride in representing the restaurant. He made us feel like valued guests, not just another table in a busy dining room. The food was great, the atmosphere was lively and fun, but Brenden is what made this visit memorable. If management is reading this -- he is top-tier. Hold onto him. We will absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Brenden again.

The staff seemed young and a bit undertrained. They weren't bad, but not particularly attentive either. It was a busy Friday night, which is exactly when stronger management presence would help. - Food overall was good, but nothing stood out as exceptional which is usually a strong point at Korean restaurants. - Bossam didn't come with wraps or sides, which felt like it missed the point of the dish. It lacked that full, satisfying experience I was expecting - Prices felt a bit high for what you get I'll give it another try and update my review after my next visit.

You can build your own bowls from the bar with options like beef, ramen noodles, fish balls, tofu, seafood, greens, and more. The bowls are priced by the pound, and you can also build your own sauce. We were greeted upon entering. Since it was our first time, the kind staff patiently walked us through the process of building your own. They have so many options, even for pescatarians and vegetarians. My husband and I were so excited, we went a little crazy. They recommend choosing 1-1.5 pound worth of ingredients and we both went over. The final step is choosing your flavor and spice levels. We both opted for #1, the malatang. For my spice level, I chose medium and my husband chose extra hot. They warned him it would be very spicy, but he likes it that way. The staff then pre-cooks the food and serves it in hot pot to keep it hot. You're able to control the heat. Oh my goodness. It was so, SO good! Flavorful and spicy. We built our own sauces at their sauce bar and came up with some really tasty ones. We couldn't finish our food, but we were able to take them to go. We couldn't wait to eat our leftovers the next day!

If you prefer feeling comfortable, then get the creamy malatang! Ok, fine, some people might like the spicy malatang, but this is the first time I've tried spicy malatang, and it will be my last for as long as I can help it! There's nothing fancy about this restaurant. It's DIY, self serve. For the malatang, you grab a very large bowl and put everything your heart desires in it (I'm talking about seafood, meats, protein, veggies, carbs, etc, not everything you desire in a man/woman), you bring it to the counter, and pick your soup base, and they bring it out on a burner, and you start chowing! Pretty easy and simple! They have a self serve sauce bar with all the different sauce recipes that you can create as many saucy combinations as you like! I didn't love my spicy malatang, hence the 3 star for this visit, but hopefully I can give it another shot again trying something different!
