    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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

    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.

    Earl Grey soft serve with Ah-boong (fish bread) lined with matcha custard. Topped with biscoff cookie crumbs and oreo crumbs
    Stacie N.

    Made the stop on my last night in Arizona to get SomiSomi after having some Vietnamese food for dinner. The Somisomi in Hawaii closed last year so there's nobway to get it anymore. This place is really clean and quiet. The girls working are quiet and nice. I saw that they had Earl Grey and was so excited. The Ah-boong was crispy and perfect. Had a good lining of mstcha custard (that matcha loving me was super excited for!) tasted delicious. I normally don't top my ice cream or soft serve with anything but was sharing this with my sister (she wanted Ube it ube smirked with Earl Grey- the swirl mix choice - but I dislike ube..) can I just say the Earl Grey was perfect?? I love me a good Earl Grey ice cream and damn this was really amazing. It wasn't too heavy in flavor and just the right amount. Honestly would go again for it.

    Somi Somi in Chandler is a great place if you're craving soft serves. They have a pretty good and unique flavor options too. We tried Ube and really liked it. Every time I take the Taiyaki, I try not to do a filling because it gets very heavy but sure it would be tasty with a filling too. The place has ample seating and is very clean! The lady who helped us was very patient and kind as well!

    Clean little shop to hang and enjoy your sweet treats. We got a Nutella Taiyaki with ube and it was so delicious if you're into Nutella... like me!! The comes and so soft and cute little macaroon on the side.

    My all-time favorite spot for soft serve! If you have a sweet tooth, this place hits the mark. Their soft serve is always rich, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent. My go-to order is the cookies & cream soft serve in an AhBoong (the adorable fish-shaped cone) with a Nutella filling (so good!) I usually get it served upside down, which somehow makes it even better. Recently tried their seasonal peach flavor and it was a pleasant surprise, light, refreshing, and perfect for a AZ HOT day. I love that they rotate flavors regularly, so there's always something new to try without getting bored. The shop itself is small but clean and well-kept. It's more of a grab-and-go or quick sit-down type of place, but that's part of the charm. Highly recommend Somi Somi if you're craving something sweet and unique. I'll definitely be back.

We showed up a little after 6 on a Friday night (in a particularly warm evening in January), and only a couple other people were there.

In it was banana cream pie, sticky fingers, chocolate peanut butter brownie, and graham central station. Each flavor was creamy and delicious. All of us got our own 4 scoop sample (so good thing there were that many employees ready to help and wasn't too busy at the time). My dad also got the chocolate peanut butter brownie and also the NCY cheesecake flavor. We both agreed the brownies in the chocolate flavor tasted like the usual frozen brownie chunks that don't really taste that great. He also commented the NYC cheesecake, while still good, was his least favorite. On the contrary, everything else I got was tasty (shout out to banana cream pie). My brother got the blue Oreo flavor was loved it. My mom loved her four flavors and commented that it had a lot of mix-ins "just like Ben & Jerry's" which she was a big fan of. Another great experience at a Handel's!

My bigger gripe was that it took a long time despite there not being too many people. We were the only parties in there in the beginning and a buddy ordered a single scoop of ice cream first. When we had all finished individually ordering, more people arrived. Instead of giving us our orders first or even starting on it (again, our first friend ordered a normal scoop first), he went ahead and started with the customers that just arrived. That would be fine, but as he was the only worker, we had to wait almost 10 minutes before our ice cream was even started on.
