    upside down with peach/dalgona
    Christy L.

    Somi somi is my sister and I's favorite place for a sweet pick me up treat. We always get the upside down which comes with a taiyaki with filling of choice over an ice cream swirl. We love to play around with their combos as they change their featured flavors every few weeks. In the past month, we have tried the peach/dalgona and the matcha/ube flavors. All of their flavors are true to description, creamy, and very delicious. For our filling, we tend to alternate between the custard and the nutella. They also let you choose ice cream toppings for each order; I love getting the rainbow crispy cereal. Service is always pretty fast, even if there is a line. No seats inside, but they have an outside seating area that they built. Great vibes.

    Absolutely Delicious!!! I stopped by Somi Somi for my usual ube soft serve, and I have to give a special shoutout to the girl nushin on counter! she was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with the warmest smile and had such a positive, friendly attitude that instantly brightened my day. It's rare to find service this genuine and cheerful, and it made my whole Somi Somi experience even better. Not only was the dessert delicious (as always), but the vibe and energy she brought made it feel special. She's the definition of great customer service and the reason I'll keep coming back.

    New staff and everyone is friendly and accommodating. The new staff is very informative when it Congress to food allergies ands sensitivities. It always smells amazing in there!

    Soo yummyyy! If you want to try a Korean dessert place, this is the place to go! The soft served ice cream is 10/10. I got the ube + cookie and cream. Those two go so well with each other. Literally my two favorite flavors in one. They give you the option of adding toppings so, I got the fruity pebble and they add a macaroon on top. The workers were super friendly. My friends and I came near closing time so, I felt bad but they were still very helpful and sweet. The last time I went here I got a taiyaki with my ice cream but this time I didn't. I would say if it's your first time here it is worth trying the taiyaki with the ice cream! Overall, I had a great experience here and the ice cream was amazing! Can't wait to go back in the future!

    Custard and black sesame filling
    Suelynn N.

    After dinner, we came here for some warm dessert. They also have ice cream but they do not give samples for the ice creams. I normally get Nutella or custard but I wanted to try black sesame. Black sesame would be good for people who prefer nutty flavors and not too sweet. The dough is mochi and slightly sweet. There are no chairs or table but there is a standing self or picnic right outside. Parking is free and out front .

    The overall food is great. Green tea ice cream is really nice, creamy yet not too sweet. However, the fish was cold on the ice cream. It would be nice if they warm it up a bit before serve on the ice cream, it became a bit hard and lost the chewy texture.

    They have a a small selection of flavors to choose from and have combos to choose from that they change weekly. There's also a wide selection of toppings to pick from. This place is very tasty. There are only a few standing tables tho/no seating.

    Taiyaki & matcha dusted match soft serve
    Jamie M.

    Korean creamy ice cream that is quite popular for their fish shaped Taiyaki pastry. We were over in the area snagging some bubble tea and decided to up the sweet meter even further off the charts. This shop is small no inside seating is available. There is a small standing counter that can fit maybe 5/6 comfortably. They do have a small wooden area that is directly outside the store but its design is a bit abstract. I opted for matcha soft serve dusted either match powder and my kids got the cookies and cream with an oreo cookie dust. The soft serve was delicious, the portion was generous so we probably could have split one. In soft serve fashion it melted quickly. We also ordered 2 Taitaki filled with Oreo and red bean to go. We perhaps should have eaten these fresh as they tend to get soggy and deflate the longer you wait to eat. I ended up re-baking them in the oven when we arrived home to crisp them back up a little. My kids oggled over the crock charm, but couldn't bring myself to spend $10 bucks on them (we lose them like crazy). Parking was a bit difficult to locate as it shares the lot with several neighboring businesses and restaurants.

    Red bean paste

    Small shop at the corner by various Korean barbecue and bubble tea establishments. It's not the ideal place to sit and chat... but there is a quaint seating area with benches outside. The service was quick. The taiyaki was also delicious. It's 80% bread and soggy though, but I still thought it was delicious. Compared to the Katy location, this place definitely had less people but quality wasn't as great. Still a decent dessert place though.

    Great high-quality soft-serve, and I got the new sweet corn flavor which was excellent. You can also get toppings like cereal/cracker dust and fruity pebbles specks. Service was excellent - commitment to getting the toppings just right and perfect and also prompt. Small interior but there is a seating area or deck outside. Also there deal of two taiyaki for less than $5 was good - got the custard and sesame. The cheddar is also great and goes with the filling. Definitely recommended!

    Love me some Taiyakis and this place has taiyakis. Yay! Those filled with red bean paste were awesome! Custard and matcha fillings were good. The Cheddar Cheese and Oreo were A-OK. Warning: LEAVE ALONE the black sesame! Never ever in my life I had such a horrible taiyaki filled with super salty black sesame paste which tasted so gross and freaked me out big time. OMGEEEEEE. I thought it was a mistake in the first place like whoever was making the black sesame paste might have put in salt rather than sugar by mistake. So, when I went back to buy more taiyakis, I asked a staff member about the salty black sesame taiyaki that I had and confirmed that (to my surprise!) the black sesame taiyaki was meant to be salty, like soooooo salty and sooooooo gross. OH MY GOD. The matcha and ube swirl soft serve was alright. The two flavors would stand out better on their own but when swirled up, the whole thing tasted kinda strange.

    A small ice cream parlor in a strip mall. There is no seating area inside, but they have a long standing table for customers to enjoy the ice cream. There is an outdoor public benches for anyone though. The ice cream parlor sells soft serves and taiyaki. Flavors change seasonally which is nice so that customers will keep coming for more. This time I had the milk soft serve in a cup, and the strawberry upside down ahboong with Nutella filling taiyaki. Both soft serves were smooth and not overly sweet. The milk soft serve was good. The strawberry soft serve had a good flavor. The taiyaki was crispy but the Nutella was hard. It would have been better for it to be more runny. This is definitely a place I would come back repeatedly.

    Green Tea Ice Cream with Red Bean Taiyaki
    Melodi D.

    Loved Somisomi! I was a bit skeptical, since I thought it was just a regular ice cream establishment, but the flavor options and the taiyaki make all the difference. I ordered the green tea ice cream with the red bean taiyaki. The ice cream was so yummy: it had a strong green tea flavor and was not too sweet. The taiyaki was hot, sweet, and flavorful, and it paired really well with the ice cream. Overall, I highly recommend!

    Do you accept advance orders? I need to order 30 taiyaki to go.

    Yes, you can give us a call 20mins before you arrive and let us know the fillings. Thank you

    Where can i find the nutrition information?

    Please go to Somisomi website for nutrition. Here is the link https://www.somisomi.com/blank-1

    Is there dairy(milk) in the Taiyaki? I know there's dairy in the soft serve but what about the Taiyaki batter?

    There is no milk in Taiyaki

    Do y'all have dairy free or sugar free flavors?

    Hello Veronica! We are lactose free (except "Milk" flavor)… 

    How big are Taiyaki & how much do they cost? Is custard plain or coconut?

    Take a look at the pictures, there's a lot of variety and options. It tells you the pricing and the size comparison.

For the uninitiated, a paleta is a Mexican frozen dessert similar to a popsicle, but crafted from whole, natural ingredients like fresh fruit or rich dairy. Despite the anniversary crowds, the friendly staff kept the line moving in under 20 minutes. They offer an incredible variety of regular and filled flavors. My wife ordered passion fruit filled with condensed milk and dipped in chamoy for a tangy, sweet-and-sour kick (though she felt the fruit flavor was a bit subtle). I got the pineapple mint and dipped it in cookie butter--as a huge fan of cookie butter, that extra layer took it to a whole new level of deliciousness. While indoor seating is limited to four or five tables, the Sugar Land Town Square location offers plenty of outdoor seating and free parking in the garage right across the street. Paletas start around $6.50, with dips at $1.35 and toppings at $1.10, putting a customized one at over $8. At that price, it's a bit steep for frequent visits, but with friendly service and a refreshing treat from the Texas heat, it's definitely worth checking out!

It's cake baked in the shape of a cone or "chimney", stuffed with soft serve ice cream and various toppings. There are pre-made options to choose from (with some flexibility) and build-you-own option (there is a charge for additional toppings/fixings). The baking/heating process is the most time consuming part, ensuring it is baked to perfection to hold the ice cream. They were flexible in switching certain items (instead of cocoa pebbles, I chose oreo crumbs). Originally, I went online to check the menu so I know ahead of time. I ordered the fashionista, I enjoyed the different chocolate flavors. I was curious to try the matcha one, but when in doubt, go the chocolate route. It truly was a massive amount of sweet to eat and I would preferred to have shared with someone, but it really isn't shareable...not in a sanitary way. It was definitely very pretty...all of them are/were. They wear gloves (thank goodness) when handling the cones. However, I noticed the girl (while waiting for my cone to bake) went on her phone, adjusted her pants, her hair, her sleeves. So I kindly asked her to change her gloves when making Fashionista, luckily she was nice and did change. The inside of the establishment is very cute and pink, definitely instagram-worthy. There is plenty of parking available on the side of the building, shared by other businesses. Would I return? Maybe...only because it was more of a once-and-done thing for me....unless I am in the area and have a major craving.
