I like this location over the convoy location. - Parking - The line isn't too long Wish this place had an area to sit. They only accept credit card. My family likes the Icecream. I just like the Taiyaki filled with red bean. read more

This spot is so good! I came here just for the vibe with some friends and wasn't planning on ordering anything, but then the craving for something sweet kicked in. I ended up trying the taiyaki and yuuum, it was the right move. If I'm being real I couldn't resist the 2 for $4.95 deal lol I wasn't in the mood for ice cream but I still wanted to try the stuffed fish. I got the Oreo and Nutella filling but I wish I would of just gotten two Oreos. The Oreo was a 10/10 both great, but Oreo was by far better! This is a cool chill spot to come grab a sweet treat with friends. The parking lot was super full and the line was out the door, but we made it before the rush. read more

I'm giving this location a 4 star because I love their reusable spoons with the taiyakj on the end. I've been to numerous somisomi's and I just enjoy seeing what new flavors they come up with. Coming to this location, it was packed for a Sunday night. Numerous guests were awaiting their ahboong desserts. My fiancé got the cookies and cream and milk flavored ice cream while I got myself a Nutella taiyaki and a custard taiyaki. I used the taiyaki to dip into the ice cream. It was fresh and very hot. I didn't have to wait long to get my taiyaki, too. This location is very efficient with their food. I would say the lack of efficiency is in the area of cleanliness. The trash cans were full and the floors were sticky. I only saw two trash cans in sight. Regardless, still a good dessert place for an after dinner treat. read more

My daughter loves Somisomi, so we sometimes stop by after dinner. The only drawback is there's absolutely no places to sit inside or outside. We either had to eat it standing like everyone else, or sit in our car. Love the ice cream, but hate the layout of the store. read more

I went to the Katy, TX location and that location also doesn't have seating. I'm not sure if that's a common theme. They do have a standing table that you can place your dessert and eat. I ordered the upside down with matcha and sakura berry soft serve and matcha custard filling. This was from March 29, 2026 so I'm not sure if they changed out flavors. Everything was delicious. The soft serve was good but I didn't really taste the sakura berry. Parking is plentiful, it's in a shared lot. Pricing is fair. Service was fast and pleasant. read more

I still love coming to somisomi after all these years because who doesn't love an upside down fish cone with filling, toppings and delicious soft serve? Service is usually pretty quick despite the fact they always have a line. The store itself isn't very large and doesn't really have a lot of seating to eat at so plan to take it on the go. This time I got the taiyakis- delicious hot fish shaped waffles with filling of choice. I was not disappointed. read more

I generally frequent the Kearny Mesa location of Somisomi but after having dinner in the Mira Mesa area, I decided to give this location a try. Pros: 6 different flavors of soft serve, plus 3 swirls. Everything is always tasty, my go to order is the upside down ahboong with custard. Cons: The worker who was doing the toppings was very unpleasant. Also noticed they give less soft serve at this location compared to Kearny Mesa. Cleanliness inside the store could use improvement. Overall this place has a great product but I think this particular location has some issues. read more

This is a much easier location to navigate than Convoy or UTC. I went at maybe 5:30, so I was the only one ordering and service was fast. There's lots of food in the shopping center, and they're open til at least 11pm. So I can imagine it does get busy at times. I always order the upside-down ah boong. This time I got earl grey and cookies and cream swirled, with captain crunch dust and coconut topping, and my taiyaki with black sesame filling. So good! read more

Another Asian dessert spot that serves muted sweets. Upside down ahboong with ube soft serve and oreo topping ($6.95): looks and sounds better than it tastes. This was creamy but the flavors are toned down unlike several Asian appetizers and entrées that are pungent in flavor, 3.5/5 stars. Theses are strictly photogenic and I'd go elsewhere to satisfy my sweet tooth. read more

Ive never like somisomi. This place is not small, but the room is divided into 2. Its weird actually. You order on the right side and walk over to the other half of the room to pick up your order. My husband got taiyaki. I don't like their taiyaki bc it is to doughy. The texture is just not it for me. The soft served ice cream from McDonald's tastes better. This really just isn't my place. I'll go here bc my kids might want the taiyaki. read more

Somisomi is dangerous in the best way possible. I came in planning to grab a quick treat and ended up completely impressed. The taiyaki was warm and crispy, clearly made fresh, and paired perfectly with the soft serve. The ice cream itself was incredibly smooth and creamy -- easily one of the best I've had. The menu has so many good options that it's hard to choose, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. The staff was friendly and patient, even with a busy line, and the shop was clean and well-run. If you're a fan of dessert, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

SomiSomi never disappoints, and their soft serve with Nutella-filled taiyaki is a next-level dessert experience! The ice cream was incredibly smooth and creamy -- I went with the cookies & cream flavor, and it was rich without being too sweet, with a perfect balance of chocolate cookie bits and vanilla base. It's the kind of texture that melts just right in your mouth, making every spoonful feel indulgent. But the real star? The taiyaki waffle with Nutella filling. The taiyaki was warm, freshly made, and had just the right amount of crisp on the outside with a soft, fluffy center. The Nutella inside was generous, gooey, and melted beautifully into the waffle -- it paired perfectly with the cold soft serve, creating that magical warm-meets-cold combo. The presentation is adorable too. The signature yellow cups and the fish-shaped taiyaki sticking out make it super Instagrammable -- especially when enjoyed with cute plushies like in the photo! If you haven't tried SomiSomi yet, this combo is a must. It's fun, flavorful, and honestly feels like a little celebration in every bite. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Flavors good, customer service ok, price transparency *needs work*, atmosphere busy and no real seating. I ordered following the instructions on the menu-- a milk ice cream in a cup with red bean filling. The cashier told me the red bean filling was an extra 50 cents. It wasn't about saving 50 cents, but I wish it would say that on the menu, so I know what to expect. Toppings were free though but fruit would be nice and I would not mind paying extra for fruit as long as the price is listed on the menu. read more

Out of all three SD somi locations, mira mesa CONSISTENTLY underperforms in both quality and quantity. It literally makes no sense why the soft serve would BELOW the cup for the tayaki to practically cover the entire thing.... with that logic, people who order a regular hand-held aboong would only get enough soft serve to fill the inside of the tayaki.... I am an AVID somi somi consumer and have also been to locations in LA and OC, and NONE of them swirl as terribly as mira mesa. (I will attach pics comparing SD locations and one from OG / test lab location) I also tip EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (and say my pleases and thank yous) I'm just seriously convinced management trained all their employees to be skimpy!!!!! This might sound like a bit much but if I am paying $8-9 for some ice cream, it better be worth it! read more

Mmmmm!!!! I had the matcha fish thing, but I wish I had it upside down in a cup because it was kind of hard to eat. The place was packed with what looked like high schoolers on the weekend. I like that the toppings were free. It's simple inside, but it's probably worth eating away from the venue since it was so packed. What a unique experience! read more

Still a staple dessert shop in a busy shopping plaza of Mira Mesa! While the shop itself is small, the options available are worth checking out. It does get packed and very warm in the shop itself with all the irons making the taiyaki! This was my first time seeing Early Grey and a matcha/chocolate blend on the menu, but we went for Ube and Oreo as it's one of my favorite flavors. The perfect way to end a dinner with friends before we headed off on our next adventure read more

I went here about a week ago for the first time. We were having lunch next door and I had never been, so decided to check it out. First, I feel like there are so few soft serve ice cream places, so I was excited to see this as it's one of my favorite treats. You can get your ice cream inside of a fish shaped cone that is more like an actual cooked waffle. It tastes delicious, as it's just a bit crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy inside. If you don't want the cone you can get a cup instead. I opted for the cone, and you can fill it with a flavor of filling, I chose custard. Then you choose your ice cream flavor, they have several such as chocolate, ube, cookies and cream, matching, etc. You can also choose from several toppings like sprinkles, macaroon, or cookies, etc. They also sell merchandise like pins. They don't really have seating, which I would say is a downside. I definitely think you should try it out if you like ice cream.. I'll definitely be back to try some more flavors! read more

Somi Somi is my absolute favorite soft serve ice cream shop ever...add to the fact that they have those delicious Fish Shaped Taiyaki this is my go to dessert place whenever I'm near. This visit, I had an Ah Boong with Milk Tea Ice Cream, Black Sesame Filling topped with Fruity Pebbles. I took a pick and it was amazing. My son had his Ah Boong with Milk/Ube Swirl Ice Cream, Black Sesame filling and Sprinkles and was just as happy as I was. In addition, we ordered a pack of 5 Taiyaki (2 Black Sesame, 1 Oreo, 1 Mint Orea, and 1 custard) and they were wonderful as well. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!!! read more

Enjoyed some really good soft serve today with the guys. Weather was nice, about 80, so we ate outside. We all ordered something different. Some got Taiyaki while others got simple soft serve in a cup. I had the cookies n cream and chocolate swirl with crushed Oreos, it was VERY good! All 6 of us finished every drop and crumb of that tells you anything. The staff was friendly and patient as we didn't know what we wanted and had a few questions as well.

Somisomi in Mira Mesa is a fun spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. This place has some great taiyaki, a fun, waffle-like fish-shaped dessert that comes in so many delicious variations. Reminded me of grabbing the same street food dessert in Japan. I love the ube and cookies and cream soft serve with it. Very creamy and rich. One surprise highlight for me was also the cheese taiyaki option--it's better than you'd think, tasting like a crispy, doughy grilled cheese sandwich. It's nice to have a savory option with all the sweet ones too. Although the shop itself isn't very big, there's a small counter that lines the wall where you can stand and enjoy your treats. I visited on a Saturday night, and it was definitely a popular time, with people coming in and out for their taiyaki fix but we still found a portion to share and eat along. Somisomi manages to create an experience that's both nostalgic and novel. If you're craving something sweet and unique, this is definitely the spot to check out. It's one of those places where you get excited to go back and try more combinations. read more

I tried this desert place. There soft serve were amazing. Best part is their taiyaki, it's like a fish shaped waffle filled with Nutella which is so good to eat with their soft serve. I tried matcha and chocolate one, their ube flavor is also good and they provide mix swirls as well, matcha was my favorite one. Soft serve is quick, only for taiyaki it require few minutes but it is worth as I love the warm taiyaki with cold soft serve. It's a busy place and there is always a queue outside this store. read more

SomiSomi is a total win every time! They have different flavors on rotation and all of them are creamy and tasty. They serve a good amount of ice cream, but I wish they had black sesame more often! The taiyaki cone is soft on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. The small taiyakis are best eaten fresh and warm. I love and recommend the options for filling for both ice cream and taiyaki: custard, red bean, or Nutella. Service is quick, even when it's busy. The shop itself is simple and efficient--it's more of a grab-and-go vibe. If you're into soft serve and love taiyaki, SomiSomi is a must. read more
