    I'm so happy there's a somi somi in Glendale again! I got their pistachio and it's graham cracker crumbs and captain crunch. The ice cream wasn't too sweet but a perfect treat to have, especially during the summer. The service was very quick too! I will be getting taiyaki next time I come!

    I was so excited to hear that SomiSomi reopened in Glendale! They were originally inside the Galleria, then closed for quite a while, and now they are back, but this time across the street. I definitely missed having them nearby. If you're not familiar, SomiSomi was founded by two dessert lovers who set out to create their own version of the "perfect" dessert. What started as a small ice cream and taiyaki shop (those adorable goldfish-shaped waffles that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, filled with your choice of filling) has grown into 30+ locations across Southern California, Texas, Nevada, and Washington. Clearly, they're doing something right. Their concept is simple but fun: choose from soft serve flavors like Cookie Butter, Ube, Matcha, Oreo, Milk Tea, or swirls, then pair it with a taiyaki filling and toppings. They rotate flavors pretty often, which keeps things interesting if you go regularly. I ordered their "Upside Down," which is soft serve in a cup topped with a taiyaki instead of the other way around. I went with the Ube and Cookie Butter swirl and a Nutella-filled taiyaki. The soft serve was creamy and not overly sweet, and the Nutella filling inside the taiyaki was warm and rich. It was such a good combo. My only downside: since they are now in one of the smaller business stalls, they don't offer samples. I get that space and flow might be limited, but when you're deciding between unique flavors like ube, matcha, or milk tea, samples would really help, especially for first-timers who may not know what to expect. Overall, I'm really happy they're back. It's a fun dessert spot, perfect for when you want something a little different than your typical ice cream run. I'll definitely be returning to try whatever new swirl they come up with next.

    Somi Somi is a personal favorite, so I was extremely excited to see this soft serve stand added to The Americana, as I spend quite a bit of time at the movies there. If you've never tried the ice cream, go get in line now! The Korean Soft-Serve is absolutely delicious! It doesn't matter what flavor or combo of flavors you get, they are all awesomely yummy! At this location, like all locations there was a line but here, unlike other locations I've been to, the line moves really quickly! Once you have self-ordered, you wait until they call your name. We only waited 5 minutes and soon we were in possession of the best soft serve! As an added bonus, we sat along the edge of The Americana's beautiful water fountain while enjoying a warm SoCal evening.

    Matcha in a Cup

    Stopped by after watching a movie and was able to make it before they closed. We ordered off a kiosk and it was very easy to do so. I got a matcha flavored soft serve in a cup and my friend got the chocolate and matcha swirl in a cup. Our order came out relatively quickly since we just ordered the soft serve. There are some areas to sit, but not a designated area. So we decided to just walk around the Americana while we ate our sweet treat

    Very quick to get our order. We had 5 different treats and all good. Unfortunately not too much seating on and not well maintained probably because they're so busy. I feel like the other location at the wilshire center is a lot better but this was good too. Great space if you are out for a stroll or shopping at the Americana.

    So happy this place finally opened in Glendale! I always get the ube ice cream and it never disappoints--it's seriously the best. Super creamy, perfectly sweet, and just hits every time. Definitely my go-to spot!

    Delicious soft serve that isn't too sweet, and a fun Taiyaki cone to go with. There are a good selection of ice cream flavors and taiyaki filling, and the price was not as bad as I would've expected for the Americana. $6.95+tip for ah-boong with the upside down cone. Can't wait to come back!

    I love that they have a Somisomi inside the Glendale Americana now! It makes for the perfect sweet treat while you're shopping. Somisomi always has the creamiest soft serve, and the taiyaki comes out toasted and fresh. The service here is super friendly and nice, and the ice creams come out really fast!

    i'm so glad somisomi opened a location near me. there's so many great flavors to choose from, i tried the cookie butter and matcha ube. will be back to try more!

    Somi Somi is honestly one of my favorite dessert spots. The fish-shaped cones are already super cute, but the ice cream itself is SO good too. Every time I go, they have new flavors or something different to try, which makes it way more fun. And the toppings are the best part -- there are so many options and you can mix it up however you want. It never gets boring. I've gone back so many times and it's always just as good. Definitely one of those places I keep craving.

    matcha soft serve and milk soft serve

    A new soft serve spot opened in the Americana, so my friends and I had to check it out. As a matcha lover, the matcha soft serve is a bit too sweet, so if you want an authentic matcha flavor, don't order it here. Besides the matcha, the chocolate, milk, and ube soft serve is so yummy. They stuff up the tayaki with a bit of filling of your choice, so that it is not too messy to eat. I would recommend this place for a sweet treat, make sure to be on the lookout for seats, theres only 2 tables.

    The consistently good quality of ice-cream and all the flavors offered has made me go to this place every time I visit LA. A family fav!

    Seriously a hidden gem. I'm honestly surprised more people don't talk about this place because it's…read moreone of the most decent priced AYCE option with endless kalbi. That alone deserves recognition because more and more KBBQ places are limiting that to 2 max per person. The host was attentive, service was quick, and we never had to wait long for anything. Well, minus the additional rice paper and radish dishes here and there nudging them to remind them for a refill. To end the meal, they include ice cream which doesn't happen often. If you ask nicely, they'll even let you get more. A great random find and can't wait to return.

    One of the friendliest, greatest bang-for-your-buck kbbq places I've had in recent memory! Went on…read morethe weekdays for the $21.99 lunch special, and the servers set up our tables promptly and with a smile, being very receptive and accommodating to our orders. Plenty of condiments, with ssamjang and garlic and their own sour sauce too. The meat comes out in huge slices and plates, and the meat is thinly slices and tender with our brisket and beef belly. The bulgogi is also cut in slices rather than strips, which I prefer. They were very attentive with ordering so you are comfortable throughout the meal. It's a nice and clean spot with window light and bar space. They have blinds as well, so you are comfortable however you want it. There were TVs showing sports, so it was very homely. This place felt like home away from home and I look forward to dining with them again!

    I LOVE TOFU SOUP!!!…read more got the beef tofu soup and it was deliciousss. one of our group had burnt rice but the staff were quick to replace it. the spicy cucumber here is so good i ate like 2 plates honestly. i will say is that the spice scale isn't super accurate. i am pretty bad with spice so i got a mild and it was just ... alright... i feel like i was missing a lot of the flavor, not just heat level. my friends who got medium and spicy let me try their soups and they were way better and honestly not that much spicier. so i would say give a higher spice level a try if you want more flavor in your broth. we also ordered a bottle of soju to share and some of the spicy chicken. those were good too!

    Oh boy! I don't want to give 1-Star but really I should. Yes, it could have been better....but, it…read morewas 'not good' at all. This place is basic, nothing fancy and there's really no ambiance or special feelings associated with it - it's just an old-looking sit-down and serve establishment. The few people sitting to eat were random; I was there to order to-go. After asking what was the patrons favorite dish(es) the lady quickly pointed out the most expensive items on the menu. Of course she did. My eyes rolled but I was polite and decided to order something I recognized and wouldn't hate myself for in the morning. Chicken Teriyaki Can of coke My bill came to $34.23 Ahem! What? Why does a plate of Chicken Teriyaki cost so much? And why $3 for a can of coke? I just cannot wrap my head around it. This isn't a fancy restaurant at all! In fact, it's as basic as it gets with no ambiance or warmth. I cannot recommend this place at all. The food was pretty poor and nowhere near on par with classy eats that try to reach that $$ figure. Montrose is certainly a place where there are people with money and no taste...looking for reasons to spend it willy-nilly. I thought I took a photo of the plate when I got home. Guess not. Avoid if you aren't made of money and prefer well-prepared meals, not quick, mushy fast-foodish stuff.
