Love coming here for the taiyaki! Always get 4 cheese 1 Nutella lol. It comes out piping hot but since I bring it back for my partner we usually pop it in the air fryer and it's still amazing. Perfect for breakfast the day after. As for the location, I really like the service. It was a hot day and after I ordered my taiyaki I went outside to read on the bench located right outside. The staff brought it outside for me so I could keep reading. It was a small gesture but very appreciated especially on such a sweltering day. As for date nights, I love coming here after playing at the claw machine shop next door lol. read more

Good presentation and cute fish. If you like the Japanese Taiyaki, then this is the place for you. For me, I'm only interested in their sesame ice cream. After debating if I should just get the sesame ice cream or a milk and sesame swirl, I made the wrong choice and greed drove me to get the swirl. I was disappointed as the swirl was more milky and sweet than the rich sesame I was hoping for. Nevertheless, Somi Somi is a kid pleaser and my child was pleasantly happy with her Taiyaki ice cream. read more

This ice cream here was pretty good. Smooth and nice flavor combos. I got the Ube matcha swirl and the banana matcha swirls. There were so many toppings to choose from. The taiyaki was fresh so the warm bread with the melted ice cream was perfect together. I got my order with a few minutes because there weren't many people and the workers there stated making our order as soon as the order went through. Inside was spacious, I wished there were tables but there weren't many people working so I can see why it's more of a takeout. read more

Somisomi - Upside ube flavor. Vanilla in a cup. - Desserts Near Me - Milpitas, California

This spot was really good. I got the matcha and ube swirl and I loved it. It was just the right amount of sweetness without being too heavy. The taiyaki was great too. It was soft on the inside with a little crisp on the outside, which made it perfect. The place was really busy when we went, but the service was quick and we got our ice cream fast. The location is really convenient, though parking can be tough since it's such a popular spot. read more

Generous and purposeful making of my Upside Down Ahboong -- not just thrown together at this particular location. Even more noticeable was the entire staff was smiling and pleasant. Parking here is always a challenge. read more

This is our second time at Somi Somi at this location and we love it! The service is fast and the people are attentive and kind. The flavors are always delicious and the topping choices are fun. I took some pictures of the menu because I wanted to make sure everyone knew they had to choose one of four options for how you want to be served. I was confused the first time I came as the menu was different. We got the ube and chocolate swirl with the upside down ahboong filled with red bean. The cookies and cream is also delicious with the Nutella filling. Once they have poured your soft serve, they will call you up to the counter to tell them which toppings you want. There are cocoa pebbles, fruity pebbles, Oreo dust, butterfinger dust, etc. you can also choose to have a macaroon or a strawberry as a topper. The store is clean and tidy, there's also a water container for self serve water. They also have napkins and trash cans. There aren't any tables inside for seating, but there is a bench outside. The parking lot for this strip mall is a nightmare. This is the only pitfall of this location. You'll have to bring all of your patience to get a spot. Plan ahead by parking on the street or Lyftng there. read more

Soft serve with interesting flavors in rotation can be found here at Somisomi, a popular chain that's made a strong impression on me every time I've been to one. This particular Somisomi is located in an extremely busy mall full of Asian eateries, cafes and shops and therefore parking is a real pain. If you're already here for something else, it's a perfect excuse to make your way to grab a cup or cone of Somisomi's delicious cold desserts. Like all of their locations, the soft serve can be ordered with a cup or a waffle cone shaped like a fish. Within that cone, you'll have the option to fill it up with some toppings like red bean or Nutella. After the soft serve goes in, you'll finally be able to top it off with some additional dry, crunchy toppings like sprinkles. Of course, if you're just here for the soft serve, then just get the cup but if you want it all without the mess that comes with cones, ask for the upside down cone served in a cup - you get to have your cake (errr...soft serve) and eat it too! This time around, sweet corn was the unique flavor of the day and the subtle sweetness was certainly interesting! Not a huge fan as I'm more inclined to order their tea flavors but it was still delicious enough to be consumed all by oneself. In addition to the soft serve, they also have taiyaki (waffle battered cakes) filled with your goodies of choice among some classics like red bean, Nutella, chocolate, and custard. They take a while to make but you may order more for a slight discount as opposed to ordering them individually. The staff were friendly and patient as we ran through the options when we ordered and were quick as they can to fulfill the tickets. Overall, Somisomi has the perfect combination of desserts to satisfy cravings for both hot and cold treats. They're not too overly sweet and are pretty light so it's a great spot to hit up after a meal. This shopping center facilitates those activities nicely with restaurants running all along the perimeter and a huge grocery store for wrapping up those errands. As a taiyaki fan, this Somisomi is solid and the quality store to store doesn't vary too much so regardless of the location, you'll be satisfied here, there, and everywhere, so long as it's with Somisomi! read more

After you've indulged in one of the restaurants in this plaza and you need to find something sweet or cleanse your pallet, head over to Somi Somi for your dessert fix! Somi Somi has several different menu options for everyone - soft serve, taiyaki, cold brews, or a combo of all of these. Their menu isn't overwhelming either, they keep it simple and clean. They offer the following soft serve flavors and some come in a swirl flavor: - Milk - Matcha - Ube - Peach - Cookies & Cream - Milk Tea (Not available at this location, but found at the Livermore Outlets location) Keep in mind they do not offer any samples so choose wisely! Once you pick your flavor, the staff will build your order and you can pick complimentary toppings for it: - Biscoff Crumble - Cocoa Pebbles - Fruity Pebbles - Coconut Flakes - Oreo Crumbs - Captain Crunch - Graham Cracker What you'll also notice from this business is that there tends to be a line out the door on the weekends, which just means you can't go wrong with this place! The wait isn't long either. There are no seats inside, just standing room to pick up your order, but there are a few benches outside and you'll see plenty of people just chilling out front enjoying their treat. read more

De. Licious. The soft serve is sweet and creamy, the taiyaki is warm and fresh... what else could you ask for? Somisomi is the ultimate treat for a summer day, and this location does not disappoint! We went in at around 7:30 on a weekday and there was no one else there. The interior is sparkling clean, and the service is very helpful and friendly! I ordered the upside down ahboong with cookies and cream soft serve, Nutella filling, a macaron, and Oreo crumbles - and yes, it was as heavenly as it sounds. There's nothing I would have changed about it. The price is fair, the portion size is solid, and service is quick. The one downside is that there's not any seating inside, so this is clearly a grab-and-go dessert place. Luckily there's plenty of seating in the plaza outside, so that wasn't much of an issue for us. If you have a sweet tooth and are in the area, this Somisomi is a delicious option! read more

Somisomi - Upside down ahboong, cookies and cream soft serve, Nutella filling, with a macaron - DELICIOUS - Desserts Near Me - Milpitas, California

Tried out Somi Somi on a Tuesday night and it was crowded for a weekday. We got the milk and Ube softserve with custard filling in the Ahboong. The Ube flavor blended quite well with the Milk and the texture was creamy. I couldn't taste the custard filling in the Ahboong though. Their service is good but the servers are quite overwhelmed with the volume of orders maybe. I asked for the cocoa pebbles as the topping but the server gave me the graham cracker topping by mistake. He was kind and sweet to change it but it might have led to wasting a whole ice cream. I also asked for the Ahboong with soft serve inside but I got the upside down Agboong. I didn't want to bring that up to the server because I didn't want to waste another ice cream and overwhelm them anymore. Would definitely come back for the other flavors. read more

Taiyaki is what I order here. They have ice cream flavors here. Favorites are Black Sesame and Red Bean filling for the Taiyaki. Bench sitting area outside. Outside has benches on both side of entrance. This location gets pretty busy. Service is ok. Order on front and has toppings for ice cream. Can mix Taiyaki with ice cream. Soft serve is what they call it. read more

Somisomi - Taiyaki (Red Bean and Black Sesame) - Desserts Near Me - Milpitas, California

Love it as a franchise! Ice cream is so yummy and smooth and the fish snack is also good. Clean interior but no seating. However, we had a terrible experience with the service. Dropped our spoons on accident and they refused to give us replacement spoons. Very bizarre. Because of this, we couldn't finish our ice cream until it was basically all melted. Really upsetting and weird. Personally, I'd rather drive to the San Jose location if craving this. read more

Taikyakiiiiiii! Who doesn't love a delicious fresh taiyaki on top of some really creamy soft served ice cream! It was a super hot day out 87 degrees and while searching up ice cream so we can cool down, this popped up on my yelp! Of course I looked the pics and read the reviews and decided to come try it out and I'm glad I did. The kids ordered: Upside Down Ahboong: $6.95 Tayaki filled with your choice of: Black Sesame, Matcha Custard, Nutella, Custard, or Red Bean With Soft Serve flavors: Milk, Matcha, Ube, Peach, Cookies n' Cream, and dalgona Or their week special which is on rotation of swirls, and this week was Matcha and Peach, Cookies 'n cream & dalgona, and Milk and Ube You can also order: Ahboong: $6.95 Soft serve in a cup: $4.50 Cold Brew float: $5.95 My kids got the Cookies n' cream dalgona with Nutella tayaki. And on top of that they can add any of these toppings: Oreo Crumbs, graham crackers, biscoff crumble, fruity pebbles, cocoa pebbles, coconut flakes, captain crunch, rainbow sprinkles, or matcha powder and then ALSO select a strawberry or macaron to on with it! Whaaaa? The tayaki was super fresh as they made each to order, and the fish was slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I opted for the matcha filled tayaki and Oreo filled one for my son which he gobbled up right away. It was two for $4.95! What a deal! The worker was really nice and re-made me mine as the matcha kinda seeped out, so I got an extra tayaki to go. Yay! There's a station for small water cups and dispenser too. In case it gets too sweet and you need to wash all the sugar down. The service was excellent, and they did an amazing job making them look so cute and delicious! The only thing that does suck is there's no tables indoors so you'll have to stand or there's 2 benches outside you can sit. But since it was so hot out, our soft serve was becoming a milk shake so we just had to eat it that much faster! Can't wait to come back and try any new flavors they have. read more

Somi Somi serves up Korean-inspired soft serve with serious flavor flex. Their signature fish-shaped cone, the Ah-Boong, is next-level warm, fluffy, and ready to get filled with Nutella. (along with other fillings to choose from) Flavors? Your choice of Matcha, black sesame, ube, and swirled combos like Dalgona or Korean sweet corn (don't sleep on it). I'm old school, so I ride with good ol' chocolate or Cookies & Crème. Top it off how you like... Biscoff, Oreos, Fruity Pebbles, go wild. Somi Somi doesn't miss. Fast and friendly service, my only gripe is there's no tables or stools to set but there are benches outside. Their Dessert game is definitely strong! read more

5 stars, yes fantastic, I will get to that! Wow this was a crazy parking lot! It is a big shopping center with a lot of parking, but clearly not enough, it took me 10 minutes trying to find a spot! My only critique, this should be the kind of place that they ask if you have ever been there, because it is a bit confusing! Ice cream, in the fish waffle, fish waffle on the ice cream, with filling, with out and free toppings, I finally asked and then it all made since! The location is a bit sterile with not much seating, but I get the feeling that place gets packed! The ice cream is great, the texture is amazing. My son got peach ice cream with the fish filled with custard! He loved it, but it was so rich that he couldn't finish it. We will be back when we are in the area! read more

This seemed like a newer storefront. I have been craving Taiyaki ever since my trip to Korea and was hesitant to try this, incase it did not hit the same or taste as fresh. But this HIT THE SPOT. It tastes so authentic and the flavors of custard and black sesame were so so good. Will be coming back to try the soft serves soon! The store is very clean and there is no seating in the store, but there are some chairs outside. The taiyaki itself took about 2-3 min to come out! read more

We just got a couple of the regular taiyaki, so I'm giving this a four-star rating based on that. You order at the counter and wait while they make the little fish-shaped treats. You can watch them prep it--either filling them with sweet, creamy paste like ours, or adding ice cream and toppings. I've only tried taiyaki once before in Osaka, Japan, and these were pretty close, though the batter and cooking heat were a little different. Both flavors we got were good, no complaints there. The waffle part could've been crispier, though--it was kind of soft. Not doughy, just not crunchy enough. It takes a few minutes since they make everything fresh after you order, which is nice. There's no seating inside, but they've got a bench or two outside. I suggest a couple tables or a bar along the wall would be good. I noticed some people got the fish cones on top of ice cream, and that looked awesome. I'll probably try that next time. read more

I usually get the taiyaki, but I've never had the ice cream before. This was my first time trying their ice cream, and honestly it's pretty good! I had the cookies and cream and that was really good. I liked the tasted and smooth texture. I only wished they would do samples. I gotta buy all the different flavors in order to try them. Which is kinda difficulty because ice cream and food in general ain't that cheap lol read more

I recently stopped by SomiSomi, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Their signature soft-serve is served in those adorable fish-shaped cones (ah-boong), and it's as good as it looks. The cone is warm and slightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and you can choose fillings like Nutella, custard, or red bean. I went with ube and matcha swirl -- super creamy, not overly sweet, and really smooth in texture. Perfect balance. read more

Can never go wrong with somi somi. Whenever I'm in this plaza, I always stop in here for the Taiyaki and soft serve. If you're lactose intolerant, they have lactose free options which is cool! The parking lot here is crazy so be prepared to look for parking. There is no indoor seating at the location but plenty of standing room. My favorite thing to get are the Oreo and Nutella taiyaki. It's crispy on the inside with a chewy mochi texture inside and your choice of filling. My friend showed me the cheddar taiyaki and it was sooo good. Perfect if you love salty and sweet. Adding that into my rotation forsure. For soft serve, I love the cookies and cream. They recently added an earl gray tea and it was delicious. The tea flavor is strong but it also has a nice sweetness to it. I think the soft serve flavors rotate so it might be different every time you go. read more

I'm really glad there is a Somi Somi close to me when I use to travel all the way to Valley Fair to get it. [[ Location ]] It's in the Milpitas Square Plaza with a lot of other good food places in the area. There's also Claw MEEE next door in case you want to extend your outing and have more fun. Parking should be plentiful since the plaza is so big but you may have to walk further if it's busy. [[ Store ]] It's a big store but there is no seating inside. They have two benches outdoors in the walkway area which I guess is okay but it can get crowded and cramped. I would highly prefer if they put some chairs/tables inside as well. (Minus 1 star) [[ Service ]] Friendly staff and good service. I REALLY appreciate that the standard tipping range at the machine is reasonable starting at 8%, 10%, and 12%. I guess it can go lower than that but I appreciate it doesn't start at 15%, 20%, and 25%. I'm more inclined to tip this way. [[ Wrap up ]] Other than that, the soft serve is amazing with good flavor, not too strong in sweetness, and a thick texture. I always get it with an upside Ah-Boong with red-bean filling which is my go-to. Can't wait to go back! read more

A Chinese-run joint that's selling popular Korean desserts. Obviously, they're not gonna get it right. Horrible ratio of the fillings. Takes forever to receive order.

Soft serve never disappoints and the flavors are always on point when they do the swirls.
