Stop by Somisomi at San Mateo downtown on Friday before July 4th after lunch at Harbor Dimsum seafood and loved it. They have swirls ube& pistachio, matcha and milk . I m a fan of matcha so i got the matcha flavor in the cup $4.50, it was perfectly balanced , rich, creamy and lightly sweet. The texture was smooth & refreshing. Once in a blue moon end up ordered 3 soft served matcha in the cups. The negative is only one young girl working there. There are water cup and water near the entrance to help yourself with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is big, no seating so its more grab and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
The soft serve and pastry are tasty but [[HIGHLIGHT]]why does it feel so chaotic and stuffy hot in here?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's something icky about an ice cream place being muggy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I want an ice cream place to be room temp at minimum but preferably a little colder, like the product won't melt right after I get it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floors look like they could use some mopping, they're grimy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]when I was there, there was a big unmopped puddle right near the steps.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I told them about it before I left. In any case, I plan to come back but hope it's a bit cleaner.
Soft serve: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Portion to Price: 3/5 Overall: A very good option if you want a sweet treat in the area. The extended review... Soft serve: Cookies and Cream Taiyaki - 4/5 - I'll say that it's a very tasty softserve. There are also good seasonal flavors that make an appearance throughout the year. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 3/5 - There are a few bar tops but no seats inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Portion to Price: 3/5 - Pricing is standard fare.
For a sweet treat that is not 'too sweet, give this place a try! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is always crowded for customers waiting for their order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tonight I tried the Ube Pistacchio which was delicious. It really tasted like Pistacchio. We also got the Matcha and Milk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean aesthetics, bright lights and customers eagerly awaiting their ice cream in a fish cone[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
We were pretty disappointed with our visit. The biggest issue was the lack of personal service. Instead of ordering from an employee, you're expected to use a self-service kiosk and then stand in a waiting area with no chairs or stools. The whole experience felt cold and impersonal. What made it even more frustrating was that after we carefully selected our toppings on the kiosk, the employee still asked us what toppings we wanted. If we're expected to do all the ordering ourselves, the staff should at least be looking at the order we just entered. There are often long lines, and I suspect part of the reason is that many first-time customers aren't sure how the ordering process works. Since the employees are busy filling orders, there's really no one available to answer questions or guide people through it. As for the ice cream, it was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't memorable, and we've had much better elsewhere. Overall, the impersonal ordering process, lack of customer interaction, and average ice cream mean we won't be returning.
The best warm snack! I'm not an ice cream person, but I always stop here for the taiyaki. The nutella and cheddar fillings are the perfect sweet and salty combo. Crispy, fresh, and delicious every time [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is a big, popular spot, but keep in mind there are no chairs, just standing tables![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
I haven't been to Somisomi in years. So when I was walking by and saw it, I had to walk in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as you walk in, you can smell the freshness brewing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I confirmed with the cashier that it's made to order, so I went and ordered two-one black sesame and vanilla custard. They were both made fresh and tasted just as I remembered. I'm so glad I stopped by. It was a perfect afternoon treat.
Between all of the great things I had heard about them and how long they've been sitting on my list of bookmarks, I can't say I have anything close to a good excuse for taking so long to finally come here. What's worse, it's not like I'm hardly ever in San Mateo either. However, in my defense, this technically wasn't my first time trying Somisomi. It's just that since I had only tried a couple of bites of their tayaki with red bean, it didn't feel like I had gotten a proper experience! With their location right in the heart of the downtown/3rd Ave area of San Mateo, it's not the least bit surprising that this Somisomi can draw a fairly steady crowd. Besides how busy the neighborhood can get, they're a terrific option for an afternoon treat just as much as for an evening dessert. Their menu is pretty simple, consisting of two main things - soft serve, which comes in a half dozen permanent and a handful of seasonal flavors, and taiyaki, which comes with your choice from eight different fillings - that you can order separately or together as part of their signature ah-boong dessert. -- UPSIDE DOWN AH BOONG with Ube Soft Serve Topped with Strawberry, Fruity Pebbles, and a Taiyaki with Matcha Filling Pretty solid overall. The soft serve had a surprisingly strong taste of ube to it and it wasn't overly sweet. As for the taiyaki, I liked how crispy it was on the outside and how soft it was on the inside, but the matcha filling was a little underwhelming (really subtle and gloppy). -- UPSIDE DOWN AHBOONG with Matcha & Banana Pudding Soft Serve Topped with Strawberry, Biscoff Crumble, and a Taiyaki with Black Sesame Filling Of the two, I liked this one better. For one, I thought the flavors in the soft serve balanced each other really well (the matcha helped tamper the sweetness of the banana pudding), but I LOVED the black sesame filling in the taiyaki. It tasted so good, I wish there was more of it! As far as service goes, there's usually not much to note at a place like this, but I thought the workers here were great. The girl at the register did a good job of making sure folks knew there was a second table to the side tat folks could order from and happily answered the questions that the group in front of us had. Perhaps more importantly, they're pretty efficient with everything, as they seemed to get orders out at a steady pace. Besides how much I enjoyed the desserts here (did I mention I love their black sesame taiyaki?), the other thing that I like about Somisomi is how they stay open so late (11:30pm). Quite welcome, considering how most dessert shops in the area close so much earlier, but also because it just means I don't have to worry about rushing here to get more of the black sesame taiyaki before this place closes! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.
We love this place for the variety of soft-serve and for their taiyaki which is a cross between a pancake and a waffle. We've tried several soft serve flavors over time: black sesame, Earl Grey, matcha, ube, and sakura berry. The smooth, light, fluffy swirls of whipped ice cream is always a treat. One can have it different ways - ahboong (fish-shaped waffle cone), upside down ahboong, in a cup, or cold brew float. The taiyaki is a perfect pair to the soft serve and I recommend you try it with different fillings. Service is quick after putting in your order in a self-service terminal at the counter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of outdoor seating on South B street which is the pedestrian friendly area of downtown San Mateo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't think I will grow tired of this place.
I stopped by on a weekend afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was not too busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Black sesame filled fish was my favorite. Matcha custard filling was good too. I went for an upside down matcha and ube with black sesame filling and an ahboong milk and strawberry with matcha custard filling. Both flavors of softserve was good.

Such good flavors, first time here and people are so nice! My girls loved it here. My favorite is ube with the red bean flavor. read more
Overall: A+ // 6 stars Somi Somi is my favorite dessert place in the bay so I'm so excited to see its expansion. Their soft serve has such a good texture, and it doesn't melt as fast as before. I love their uniqueness in flavors, specializing in Asian takes from black sesame to ube. The taiyaki adds some warm comfort, while the toppings of the macarons adds some fun color and texture to the dessert. I'm so impressed that with all of this, the total cost is under $10 when at ice cream stores, thats usually the cost of a single scoop. And the best part is, most of their soft serve is lactose free for the lactose intolerant!

Such a good dessert spot! I got the upside-down Ah-Boong with ube soft serve, cookie crumbles, and a Nutella-filled fish-shaped waffle, and it was so good. The waffle was warm and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the Nutella filling was the perfect amount. The ube soft serve was creamy and flavorful without being overly sweet, and the cookie crumbles added the perfect crunch. Everything paired really well together. The shop was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever I'm craving something sweet! read more
I walked past a Taiyaki place called Somi Somi while walking around Downtown San Mateo. Though it might be a good place to stop for a treat. I ordered the Taiyaki with black sesame filling and the other with red bean. It was nice that you can see them make it fresh and hot when you get it. It took about 10 minutes to receive. The texture was crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside with just the amount of filling. It wasn't too expensive which is 2 for about $5. I preferred the black sesame because of the taste and goes well as a overall dessert. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looked pretty modern and simple.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was pretty quick in getting your order ready after ordering at the kiosk. read more

SomiSomi was really good, especially the taiyaki soft serve. The staff were okay, and even though the line was pretty long, it moved fine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's some space to stand and eat, but no actual seating, so it's more of a quick dessert stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The ice cream wasn't too sweet, which I really liked, and the toppings were nice too. The taiyaki shell was very good, warm, and satisfying, and the filling was also solid. Overall, it's a tasty and fun dessert spot that's worth trying. read more
I feel as if Somisomi is really consistent no matter what location. Today I ordered an Upside-down Ahboong which is what I usually get because it's more mess-free than if you were to have it handheld. I feel like you get a generous portion of ice cream for the amount paid which is awesome. The mixed flavor they had was Ube & Milk Tea and it was really excellent. I got the custard filling in the taiyaki with oreo & biscoff dust as well as Fruity Pebbles. The line was moderately long but it felt like I ordered and got my dessert in no time. read more
Love the texture of the taiyaki, crispy on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. Dubai chocolate is extra $1.95 per taiyaki, overpriced and not that great. The mint Oreo just reminds me of Andes chocolate. Minimum order of 2 ($5) or also comes in 5. Has 2 tablets for ordering, calls name when the order is ready. Has self serve complimentary water and napkins. read more

Been coming to somi somi for years since their Cupertino location opened in the bay. It's hard to resist when I pass by since their soft serves and taiyaki are so yummy. This time I got the ube and milk tea swirl w/ fruity pebbles and oreo taiyaki. The taiyaki is made fresh so the outside is hot and crispy while the inside is mochi-like. The Oreo is whatever. I think the other fillings are better. Red beans probably my favorite. The ube is strong and overpowers the milk tea completely since the tea flavor is quite mild. Cold ice cream paired with a hot pastry is one of the most amazing combos. I also love how most flavors are lactose-free :) read more
This was definitely grab and go for us but the wait was a bit. Nice day in the bay area so there were many people out and about. We had gotten a few things to go to try a few flavors. While we waited, there was a water dispenser inside and some benches conveniently located outside as well. It was quite warm within the store at the time. I did like that there were kiosks just to put orders through though I did wish there was some way to better estimate time for things to come out. We had gotten a 5 pc taiyaki (cheese, custard matcha, and redbean) as well as a strawberry milk. Each flavor was pretty good. I'd say I was surprised I liked the cheese as much as I did. Nothing was too overly sweet which was great. The strawberry milk was well balanced but the fruit tasted fresh and there was a good amount of strawberry chunks to go with it. I'd definitely stop by again to try out the soft serve and eat the taiyaki on the spot. read more
Had their taiyaki with fillings such as oreo, nutella, matcha, and custard. You can order a set of 2 or 5 taiyaki at a time. It takes a while for the employee to make your taiyaki but it will come out hot. Their taiyaki is good snack for sure. Will definitely get their ice cream in the taiyaki. This place is cardless so you will have to order your soft serve ice creams or taiyaki through the tablet. Then the employees will make your snacks. read more

Came in after grabbing Malatang in the area and was surprised at all the special flavors they had, I ordered the peach ube swirl, and enjoyed the mixture. Wasn't too sweet and it hit the spot. Not much service since I ordered through the kiosk and picked up my soft serve next to the register. This place is more of a grab and go kind of place, no seats. read more
Somisomi is a pleasant surprise and a refreshing sweet treat to have after any meal. My boyfriend and I got the milk tea & dulce de leche with a custard filling, along with the cookies & cream & matcha with an Oreo filling. This was really delicious and his first time coming to try an ahboong/taiyaki with soft serve! Granted Somisomi tends to err on the sweeter side so I found it difficult to finish my dessert on my own, but it was very delicious and milky. I wish they served their orders in smaller cups! I'm a big fan of the way the milk tea and dulce de leche swirls together, both milky flavors in different concentrations add to the depth of the dessert IMO. The cookies & cream & matcha had a delightful flavor, combining a classic flavor with one that is more contemporary and taking off online definitely helps contribute to its popularity and why Somisomi keeps bringing it back! read more
They had a great variety of unique flavors The staff was friendly. The shop itself had a fun, cozy vibe--perfect for a summer treat or late-night dessert stop. Definitely worth the visit. I'll be coming back to try more flavors! read more
[[HIGHLIGHT]]Visited SomiSomi after dinner for a quick sweet treat and was surprised by how busy it was on a weekend night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been here before and since it's a chain, I appreciate how consistent the quality is across locations. We went with their soft serve; it was decent, nothing special imo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is also on the smaller side, with most people standing and eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Since downtown San Mateo closes the street for outdoor seating, there are plenty of tables outside too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a solid spot for dessert if you're already in the SM area! read more
The best sweet treat! I love to get the upside down ahboong (just the ahboong can honestly get a little messy and melt down to your hands) with the week's swirls. Bonus points that despite a growing line, it moves pretty fast and I've never had to wait that long. There are self-ordering kiosks that speeds up this process. This time, I tried the black sesame filling with Ube and Milk tea swirls, biscoff crumbles, graham cracker, and fruity pebbles, and chose to add a strawberry. So yummy, creamy, balanced and perfectly sweet! Not bad at all for $6.95. I'm glad I tried the black sesame filling but it was only okay so I'll stick with the usual custard filling going forward. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for dessert options in the area! read more
Somi somi always hits the spot! It's hard to not get dessert here everytime I eat in San Mateo for dinner. Their soft serve is creamy and refreshing. Cant go wrong with any of their flavors. I like to get the upside down ah boong so I can take my time eating the froyo while spooning it onto the taiyaki for a bite. The taiyaki is a soft and fresh waffle cone - an absolutely must get - reminding me of high quality eggettes. The custard inside is a subtle nice touch. Service is fairly fast considering there is always a line. They are also generous with the toppings. I like to get a combo of cap n crunch and biscott cookies. read more

The fish is always warm and perfectly crispy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside. We actually placed a large order for our party at Fogbird and they were super accommodating. It was also a huge hit with everyone. I love getting it upside down in a cup so the ice cream melts into the cup if we eat it slowly. read more

I have been to other locations but first time in the San Mateo location. It was a Monday night so pretty quiet. I ordered the upside downs with milk & dulce de leche. It was really good but I'm not sure I tasted the dulce de leche. I didn't order any tayaki this time but I have in the past. Tayaki with matcha custard is my favorite! read more
Got the matcha/ube ice cream taiyaki with black sesame filling, and it was a perfect sweet treat after dinner with a friend! Long line but it goes by fast. They ask what toppings you want right before they give you it (for free!). It's so yummy but pretty messy if you don't eat it fast! The matcha/ube swirl is good but I feel like the ube flavor overpowers the matcha. The other taiyaki filling sounds so good, so I'll have to try them next time! read more
