Everything is automated so you order on the kiosk and wait for your order to be made. There are a couple tables to eat at outside the store. I got two taiyaki with hotteok filling (cinnamon sugar with peanuts) and it was delicious. The ice cream flavors were banana pudding, ube, cookies n cream, and matcha. Flavors rotate weekly. They validate parking which is a plus. There is a tablet at the pick up counter to scan your ticket.

Toppings

My friends & I needed a spot after hitting a couple rounds of satisfying kbbq. A lot of places in Ktown were closing for opertaing hours, but luckily, this Somisomi was rather a couple minutes away. Located on the 2nd floor in the iconic MaDang Courtyard, there's a reason why this place is always bustlin'. Classic soft serve in delicious Asian flavors + whimsical fish-shaped waffle cone stuffed with delicious fillings [Ah-Boong (아붕)] + topped with a delicious garnish = winning combination. Ordering is done by 1 of 2 kiosks. This makes for a rather efficient process as there are droves of customers up until closing. The staff is very hardworking as definitely know how to hustle. It was just a couple of minutes after ordering that my order was ready. FOOD: Banana Pudding Soft Serve + Oreo Crumbs + Biscoff Crumbles + Fruity Pebbles. Ah-Boong stuffed with custard. Macaron = 9.4 / 10 As a banana cream pie fan (and a fan of banana in my desserts), this is such a good way to go. I rarely see -if ever- see banana-flavored frozen desserts. The Ah-Boong provides all the necessary contrasts: hot, crispy edges, with fluffy, chewy interior. The creamy, cool custards cuts through the coldness of the soft serve. This epic combination hit all the flavor & textural spots that my mouth & tongue could possibly enjoy. You can't go wrong with "America's Favorite Cookie" as crumbles. the Biscoff crumbles provide subtle caramel notes. The Fruity Pebbles trigger that classic nostalgia of sugary sweet crisp. The whole thing is like a "flavor orgy" in my mouth & that's not necessarily a bad thing. The macaron made for a nice finish. Although I couldn't really tell the flavor (strawberry?) the texture is like a really delicious styrofoam. Pro-Tip - Go with your Ah-Boong on the side. Everyone in my group had an unexpected surprise of their fillings spilling over onto the floor. Admittedly, I'm a bit OCD & I'm not exactly a fan of my cone becoming partially soggy + touching my soft serve. It's the crispy, crunchy contrast of the Ah-Boong that you really want to keep intact. The plaza is also a great walking area (shopping when open). It's great for dates, or just hanging-out with friends. Note the legendary movie theater - CGV Cinemas Movie Theater (now known as The Regency Koreatown) on the third floor that offer Korean film showings. Shoutout to Luis for being an outstanding employee & a chill, cool dude. Bro deserves a raise for being such an M.V.P. of a worker with the friendliest demeanor.

ube and cookies 'n cream swirl with upside down fish
Sammi S.

Been here many times, and I always love the matcha swirls. Personally, I'm always surprised by the strawberry milk -- it is exactly as the name implies it is, but I do think the ones they sell here are just nicer! If I bring a friend, sometimes, we'll make our own swirls if the one we like isn't available since the 3 swirls are switched out weekly (usually).

Anush G.

Seriously sooooo deliciooouuussss ordered on the tablets, which was very efficient! Everything was flavorful, and honestly reasonably priced. The toppings are complimentary, and the ube was my favorite. There's no seating inside, but there's plenty of space to lounge in the plaza. They give 2 hour free validation for the parking which was nice.

Inside
Brianna R.

Visited twice. Both times, the ice cream was great with unique flavors, but the ordering system can be a little confusing. Maybe signs will help. The way it works: you first order at the kiosk. I really like doing a soft serve flavor with the taiyaki, a crispy/chewy fish-shaped pastry (waffle cone equivalent). You choose a filling for the taiyaki as well. The whole thing is served in a cup. Then you wait outside and when they call your name over the speaker, you go back in to the counter, where you can get various toppings. There's seating in the plaza area downstairs. Parking is usually packed here, but if you go up in the structure far enough, you should find something. Free with validation.

Upside down ah-boong filled with nutella and banana pudding soft serve ($6.95) -- awesome.
Kenneth V.

One of the greatest benefits of having Lactaid on hand is being able to pair the crispy-chewy, pancake-like texture of the ah-boong with an ever-rotating cast of soft serve flavors from cookies n' cream and matcha, to cookie butter and banana pudding. Service was quick! The place is small, so the line tends to go out the door, but don't be discouraged! There were around 15 people ahead of me when I got there and I still got my ah-boong in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Upside down ah-boong filled with nutella and banana pudding soft serve ($6.95) -- the perfect sweet treat to end any night night in Koreatown!

Mary A.

Came by after dinner wanting a sweet treat! I always love checking out the new swirl flavors each week, and this location, just like their others, never disappoints. I got the banana pudding flavor in a cup, and it was delicious. They do banana so well; it doesn't have that artificial banana taste at all. The texture was creamy and perfect. Located on the second floor next to Sul & Beans. There's no indoor seating, but there's plenty of parking available in the parking garage. Highly recommend for a quick and tasty dessert.

Sharleen S.

Came here after KBBQ for some dessert. I got the earl grey ice cream and Nutella filled (fish) idk how to spell it LOL. The staff was super friendly. The place was clean as well and the ordering system was organized and easy! Overall it was great and the ice cream was amazing!!

Stephanie C.

Sssoooooo good! Order at one of the 2 kiosks and get your dessert quick. I loved how tasty and creamy the soft serve was. Taiyaki was thin and crisp and red bean filling was just right. I went to the neighboring shaved ice place after and I should've just ended here. Located on the second floor of the HMart center. They have restrooms and validated parking.

Ally U.

One of my favorites dessert places in ktown! It never misses and you get a big portion~ I normally go for the ube matcha or milk flavors with added oreo crumb and matcha powder + strawberry! This location also validates parking and has spots to hang around at. Inside is a small shop but its easy to order and pickup.

Michael B.

Such a solid spot you really can't go wrong. Now I personally love eating all the flavors and having multiple options but with the 5-6 flavors and the many different toppings and fillings. It gives you a chance to put things you normally wouldn't think of putting together. For example I had the matcha and ube ice cream with Black sesame. And I realized that on its own. The sesame was overpowering. But when mixed it was such a unique balance and engaged all my taste buds. They offer free toppings at the end too which is a delight! They don't do tastings. You order on the machine. The store front is frowned when you get 4 people inside. Service is quick. Not a ton of seating outside. Make sure you get your parking validated otherwise it'll cost you a pretty penny.

Ube and matcha
Marian X.

Solid ice cream shop. We got ube and matcha mixed, great taste. The ice cream is creamy and not too sweet. It's great for a to-go ice cream place. Nice presentation. The shop is small with minimal seating outside. The staffs are nice and friendly.

Ube and Dulce de Leche
Susan U.

Somi Somi definitely lives up to the hype! It's famous for a reason -- delicious soft serve with different flavors and that cute taiyaki cone. It's the perfect spot for dessert after K-BBQ or just to treat yourself. Sweet, fun, and totally Instagram-worthy!

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the creamy soft serve, fresh taiyaki pastries, and fast and friendly service.

Do they take Apple Pay?

Yes they do!

What's the price? I'm trying to see the price on their website and it never appears.

So far the ah-boong cones seem to be about $6!

Do they validate parking?

Yes they do

Does their ice cream have eggs? What about the taiyaki cone as well does that have eggs?

I believe the ice cream has eggs but the cone does not

How do you get here? Is it inside H-Mart?

Not inside, but it's in the same mall/plaza as H-Mart, located on the second floor. Parking is free in the structure, you'll get 2 hours parking validation & Don't forget to get it validated!

Are they owned by neighboring Sul and Beans?

Yep

Is black sesame a seasonal flavor or is it a permanent part of their menu? I haven't been here in a while but the last few times I went, black sesame was not a flavor option!

They change their menu weekly. Check their Insta for flavors.

Do they offer samples?

They didn't when I went there

Are they open on labor day?

yes

Any non-dairy ice creams or chance of them in the future?

So far no non-dairy options

Any good places to get food around Somi Somi?

u are in a prime ktown location so if u are looking for korean bbq, Quarters is a good place. for some good soup and pork ribs, Hamji Park. Yelp both of them and see if it's something ud be interested in.

I saw some pictures with chocolate ice cream with banana, when I was there they didn't have those flavors. Do they rotate more than just the milk,ube, matcha, & black sesame?

I think/hope so! I went recently and was disappointed they didn't have banana as well. I've had it before a couple months ago and it was good. Not sure their exact schedule though.

Hi, i was wondering what are the different flavors they serve and how do would i order it? Thank you

Do they accept American express?

I believe they do since the cashier was just swiping the cards without really looking what kind it was

I was actually a little concerned about the hearing of the employees who have to work there for several hours every day. Because the music was so loud, we couldn't comfortably eat in the main dining area, so we moved to a small room in the back. It was quiet there because there was no music, but unfortunately, there were quite a few mosquitoes flying around. We all got bitten by mosquitoes. As for parking, there was a sign that said "Parking at Rear," but the parking area behind the building cost $5. Overall, I enjoyed the bingsu, and the staff was okay, but the extremely loud music, $5 parking and the mosquitoes in the back room made the experience less comfortable. I'm not sure if I would come back again.

The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

I love how quickly they tend to customers, even when the line is egregiously long (mostly mornings, lunch, and weekends) they are so kind and helpful. Their service never falters. My favorite drink is their popular blueberry matcha (I love it with oat milk). Its sweet but not too sweet and perfect for people who want a little something different than just plain matcha.

It's also been all over TikTok and other social media, and from what we could see it's pretty controversial, so we were curious which side we'd land on. My wife and I ordered the chocolate chip cookie and a coconut crunch cookie, or something like that. We knew going in that these are thicker cookies, but once we actually looked at them and tasted them, I would not consider this a cookie at all. To me it's way more of a scone than a cookie. The density and thickness are not a cookie by any means, and we were not impressed. The flavor just wasn't there either. There are also way too many chocolate chips in the chocolate chip cookie, and the coconut one was pretty mild on flavor. For the price you pay, the cookie versus the flavor versus the quality just did not add up. I don't understand if there's hype about this place or what, and I can see why there's controversy over whether these are good cookies, bad cookies, or cookies at all. We even tried to heat them up back at home to see if that would relax the density of these things, and did not do a thing besides just make them crunchy and harder to eat. I lean toward the side that this is not a cookie joint. It's more of a scone or bakery joint. We were thoroughly disappointed, we probably won't come back, and honestly I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a cookie spot.

Australian culinary influencer and Zumbo's Just Desserts winner Catherine Zhang is the head chef and you'll see videos playing inside the shop of her preparing the desserts. It's truly beautiful art and you're paying for it accordingly with prices varying from $13-15 for each dessert or more for bigger cake items. You can order easily on their touch screens which is nice for looking at all of the available options. I've tried two of the Petit Gateau (tiny cakes) - the My Man Go (Fresh mango, hazelnut praline, mango mousse) and the Berry3 (Strawberry coulis, pistachio praline, raspberry mousse, crimson velvet). In addition to being so darn beautiful, the flavor was just phenomenal. I loved both but slightly preferred the cubically adorable berry cake's taste. For me, it's the perfect size but you def need a spoon to break into the outer shell. Or if you want that TikTok/Instagram video biting into it, that works too. They also have drinks ranging from coffees to matchas to milk teas to tonics and teas ~ truly something to cover everyone's palate for imbibing. Evenings and weekends can get very busy so go on off hours or right at opening if you can. They have their own free parking just down the block from the storefront at 2850 W 7th St or you can try to find a slim pickens' street spot. Tu Cha is such a fan favorite for photos when friends are in town, but the prices are just a tad steep to be an everyday kind of spot.
