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.
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.
The desserts were delicious. My mom, my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed them. The service was superb, Justin was quick, attentive, and friendly. He answered any questions we had and made the experience a positive one. The ambiance was warm, and welcoming, Thank you to Justin, we will definitely be back again.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I ordered the ube taiyaki, and while it was good, the ube was a bit too sweet and artificial tasting. I tried a bite of the matcha and would definitely get that next time. I loved how fluffy the taiyaki was and would not be opposed to just getting the taiyaki without the soft serve next time. Note that there's no seating at this location read more
I went to SOMISOMI in Valley Fair and glad that it opened near my hometown here at Milpitas especially when it has its own location rather than being a vendor from a mall or bigger place. Although that there are no seats inside, it looks nice on how it's designed. This place serves Taiyaki and ice cream. I really love their selections of ice cream flavors and fillings for the Taiyaki. Really tastes good especially from the ice cream since I love milk tea so much. They can add toppings to your ice cream, but decided not to since it kinda takes away the flavor of the ice cream. Overall, this is a good stop if you want some dessert. Besides, I was thinking on whether I want lunch or dessert, but decided to have dessert here instead since I'm not too hungry because of the breakfast I had this morning haha read more
Came here after dinner to try the new sweet corn flavor. I ended up getting the sweet corn and cookies and cream swirl which made it taste delicious. The sweet corn taste can get too "one-dimensional" after a few bites so I'd recommend getting it with toppings or as a swirl with another flavor. The service was fast. Mainly young people working there and given they've newly opened, things were moving along fast so props to them. There are water cups and water near the entrance to help yourself with. The interior space is big but no seating so it's more of a grab and go kind of place. read more

The matcha ice cream was refreshing & sweet & yummy. Taiyaki was delicious & try it while it's still hot. The workers here were so nice & polite. The place was clean & did a good job. Excellent service read more
They fixed their flavor ratio! They improved their Ube flavor. It now tastes like the other Somi Somi locations. Very good Ube flavor. The Sweet Corn flavor was also better than a few weeks ago. Best of both worlds to have the Ube and Sweet Corn swirl. read more

banana pudding flavor tastes similar to banana flavored laffy taffy but milkier! service: kind and efficient location: clean! you order on a digital kiosk, and they ask if you want any toppings when you receive your ice cream would come back! read more
Located on the far right side of the plaza near Fantasia! I came here during their grand opening weekend for the sweet corn flavor. It was so good! So glad it's available at all locations now. Employees were super friendly and it felt like going to any other somisomi location Milk tea & sweet corn swirl wasn't as good, it was too milk tea heavy and a little sweet for my taste. If you love corn, you'll love the sweet corn! Wish there were some tables inside to sit and eat, but aside from that it's a super cute spot and they also have enamel pins for sale read more

Brand spanking new at Milpitas. Somisomi is always that easy, affordable, delicious, friendly atmosphere place. Always check the latest offerings the new flavor Sweet Corn is being offered. Good with families or friends to grab a dessert. Middle of great asian restaurants and good place to close out after dinner. The staff was welcoming and fast definitely stop by if you love Somisomi first one around Milpitas and Fremont area. read more
Came here at 12pm for the grand opening, I ordered a cookies and cream + ube swirl, but later on they told me that the ube machine was broken (They must have beat McDonalds record for fastest ice cream machine breakdown). I ended up with the matcha and milk swirl, but I could hardly taste the matcha. The Taiyaki was really good though! read more
Freshly made and hot off the grill taiyaki. We got Nutella, black sesame, custard, taro and Oreo. I think my favorite would be the custard and Nutella. Black sesame was very fragrant but too much of the paste. Oreo was interesting, overall freshly made and piping hot delicious treats. read more

It smelled SOO good as soon as we got close to the door! There was one person working and about 7 customers in there at once, but the worker was so kind and she did everything quickly as well. My husband and I both got the upside down ahboong with cookies & cream ice cream & a nutella taiyaki, and we plan on going back again this weekend for some more! Between the worker who was there this evening and the taste, it'll definitely be a regular date spot. read more

Please get seating! There's so much space to use. I dont think I ever seen a somi somi with seating though. This location had a corn flavor and my partner ordered a corn / milk swirl. The ice cream didnt taste like corn at all and it didnt look like 2 different flavors either so we think the staff did not give the corn flavor. Hence a star off read more

Ice cream flavors at Somi Somi are unique and deliciously creamy. The fish waffle also came out super crispy and hot! We arrived just after 12pm and our order was made very quickly, within 2 minutes. My favorite flavor at Somi Somi is the Ube. It blended very nicely with the Cookies & Cream! I'm also a big fan of their Milk tea flavor. Saw a new flavor on the board called "Sweet Corn". I have yet to try it, but according to the cashier it is inspired by a common Korean food. The music inside was kind of too loud to have a proper conversation with the cashier. We had to shout (like we were in a club). Besides that, we had a great experience here at Somi Somi Milpitas and will be coming back! Congratulations on the grand opening! read more
Newly opened location in Milpitas Square on Barber Lane near 99 Ranch Market. Had to check this place out with my little one because who doesn't love a yummy cold treat on a warm day. On FB, I came across a special going on this weekend: 1 FREE taiyaki when you buy 1 ah-boong (8/23 to 8/25) and a free gift for the 1st 100 customers. When I got there I asked what flavors they recommend. I order a Matcha & Milk ah-boong with red bean Taiyaki. The free gift was a macaroon cookie topped in your soft serve. You also choose an assortment of toppings like toasted coconut flakes, fruity pebbles, and many more. Definitely a delicious treat, I enjoyed with my son. read more

First time here. What a wonderful place! Spacious and clean. Sweet smell of fresh waffles but not overbearing. The varieties and selection of goodies are enough for people to come back several times in a week. And in just 30 minutes in hanging out with our hand-crafted desserts, almost 50 customers came in. The workers are attentive and work hard without complaining. read more
Delicious ice cream, they added a new swirl of Ube & Sweet Corn which was fantastic! I had the waffle on top of my ice cream, everything was so fresh with so many toppings to choose from. They even added a fresh strawberry. The customer service was very nice and quick! Loved all the decorations and it was all extremely clean inside. read more

I was really impressed by the taiyaki batter! Although I did expect a little more custard filling, it is one of the best taiyaki's I have had. I tried the milk/ube swirl with fruity pebble topping. The ube was flavorful which may have made the milk flavor too subtle in comparison. It is also a tad too sweet for my taste as I had a hard time finishing the generous portion. read more

Love SomiSomi! Their price is all inclusive and you're able to choose toppings at the end for "free" instead of getting up charged for each topping you choose at other ice cream stores. I appreciate that they offer "upside down" cones where they put the ice cream in a cup first and then put the waffle fish on top. This is extremely helpful for little ones since it's easier for them to hold and eat. I love that this location has a lot of other eateries in the area so we're able to get a meal, snack, boba and dessert all in one place. The biggest cons are that parking is very challenging on a weekend and the cashier wasn't very friendly. read more

Not surprised to see another Somi Somi opening up in this area. This location isn't as crowded as the Berryessa one but service and quality feel the same across all areas. Depending on the day, parking can be hard to find, especially since this plaza can be SUPER busy. read more
