    Came in here with some friends after eating at Kura sushi next door! Collectively we ordered three milk soft serves with a nutella filled taiyaki on the top. The staff were very efficient with the preparation, our orders did not take more than 7 minutes to make. Loved how toppings were free! I had Oreo crumbs, cereal, and macaron on mine! Though Somisomi do not have a wide range of choices on the menu, this shop makes the cutest ice cream! The walls in the interior were the cutest with decorations on the walls where our ice creams could pose for a picture. However, what cost them a star was that the place could use some furniture. The shop was practically empty, so we had to stand and eat on a high table facing the wall.

    Came here after our lunch. Somisomi is always a good idea! There were people inside and coming in and out. We were lucky and did not have to wait in line. We usually always come here for ice cream, but we went for their taiyaki only this time. We ordered their 5 pack deal and tried some new flavors - Oreo, cheddar, and black sesame. They were all so good! We saw they had a limited time banana pudding flavor soft serve - we will have to come back soon to try it. If you haven't tried Somisomi, you're missing out on delicious soft serve and taiyaki. Come check it out!

    This is more of an update! Had their seasonal Horchata flavor a couple weeks ago forgot to update. It was awesome! Wish they would have kept it as a permanent. My son loved it too!

    I forget how much I love this place. The ice cream is so soft, so many great flavors, and the service is fast. I had the ube and banana pudding (pictured), and both were delicious.

    The ice cream is very creamy and rich. I ordered the milk flavor. It's pretty good but it felt one note. I was hoping for more exciting toppings like macarons or cotton candy. But it was pretty limited. Only one of my kids got a topping but it was "dusted" on the ice cream vs like what's shown in their photos. The taiyaki fish was freshly made. Nice chew. I chose black sesame as my filling but it wasn't really "filled" but more like lightly lined. I wanted it to ooze with black sesame. The flavor was mild. I wanted more black sesame flavor. No chairs. Only one long table to stand next to.

    Came after dinner for dessert. The place is small, clean, and standing room only. Even with a line of 5, they move fast! Taiyaki orders may take longer. I like that you can select your toppings and their desserts are not too sweet.

    Loveeee somi somi so much! Even though the line is long I feel like it's not too long of a wait. The ice cream was milk tea and matcha!! Soooo good and worth the try especially with the crispy taiyaki. The combo was literally unforgettable!

    wanted to try out their new pistachio flavor they had recently just dropped. somisomi always hits with their nice, smooth, creamy ice cream. i would say the pistachio almost had no flavor whatsoever. i couldn't really pinpoint the exact flavor but it didn't really taste like pistachio. i do wanna mention i did get charged for one taiyaki for the same price as two. the girl working there was mumbling and I couldn't hear what she was saying however if i did realize that getting one taiyaki would've been the same price as two, i def would've gotten two. the taiyaki seemed really crunchy and overcooked and not as soft and fresh as it usually is. besides that, it was delicious and def would come back.

    We come to Somi Somi everytime we come to visit our family in the Bay Area, it immediately became a must have for us! This visit we came in on a Tuesday evening and of course the line was clear out the door! The staff at this location are always extremely efficient and handle busy crowds all while still being extremely friendly and helpful to each customer. This location is very clean and has a large enough space to wait for your order even during a rush. The soft serve here is very delicious and creamy and comes with several topping options. But our go to is the fresh made to order Taiyaki with custard and Nutella filling. You can beat the fresh hot fish waffle right off the iron! My only suggestion for Somisomi is you need to open a location in Reno, NV!

    I love this place! The soft serve is perfect Not too sweet. They have a good variety of flavors. There was a long line but the service is pretty quick. The restaurant is bright and simple. I'm here for dessert and I'm very happy

    The ice cream here is good and creamy! I think it's super cute how they have many different flavors and toppings to choose from! The service is quick and it only took less than 5 mins to get my ice cream! The inside is nice but there isn't any chairs so you'll just be standing.

    A gem of a place and amazing dessert. It's located in a very popular location and easy to stop by after shopping at San Francisco Premium Outlets or after a meal at Pearl Plaza. They not only have ice cream but strawberry milk that is one of the best Ive ever had. Service is quick and you get an add on decision of either a strawberry or a macaroon. My favorite order is definitely plain vanilla with a custard ahboong filling - try it next time you're there!

    Hanna L.

    It is very delicious! More than what I expected and the one I used to have in Korea! We tried the upside down so we could take our time without worrying about it melting but it was gone very soon :-) The bread was very crispy outside giving an appetizing freshly baked bread-y smell. Their ice cream was quite dense / richer in texture and flavors as well. The service was quick despite the endless line coming into the store.

    my usual go-to spot in the area for sweet matcha boba drinks! (specifically the matcha foam drinks,…read moremy favorites!) during this visit, we went on a monday afternoon. not busy and quick service. staff is always very friendly and sweet! convenient location since it's in the mall, so we enjoyed the drinks and macarons while roaming around stores. we also decided to try new menu items that are exclusive to the month. we got the biscoff matcha, biscoff latte, and a few macarons. Biscoff Matcha: 6.5/10 matcha w/ a cookie butter swirl, topped with/ vanilla cold foam, biscoff cookie and crumble on top. felt like a good amount of sweetness, got it at 50% for the sweet lvl. wished the matcha powder had a more earthy and strong flavor. cookie butter swirl was nice, would've been great w/ a concentrated syrup to enhance the flavor. Biscoff Latte: 7/10 similar to the matcha, latte has a rich coffee flavor. not so sweet, which i enjoyed. just the same w/ the cookie butter from the matcha. needs more of a strong flavor profile for the biscoff taste. Macarons: 8.5/10 love getting the macarons! we got the salted caramel, fruity pebble, and strawberry cheesecake. they were all great! however, i felt like the flavor didn't shine through for the strawberry cheesecake. highly recommend the salted caramel.

This…read moreplace might be the closest I have had I saw on their IG that they had a new Hokkaido milk flavored soft serve and I knew I needed to try it. After trying so many different disappointing places, I wasn't expecting much, but iSee Cream has an extremely smooth and creamy soft serve. The soft serve was also super milky and similar to taste to Hokkaido milk, similar to cremia. I'm not sure if it was just because we caught them on a good day, but i definitely will be back!! My cravings are satisfied for sure!! The workers were also so super nice and let us try a sample before purchasing! There's limited seating, so we ate the the ice cream standing outside.
