The shell was delicious & the Oreo and strawberry ice cream were delicious. Wasn't a huge fun of the matcha flavor...

She's doing the job of 3 people!!!
Alice N.

Long wait and the one and only cashier did not even tell us order from the kiosk only! There should have been a sign notating that otherwise everyone is waiting around for no reason. Unbelievable for a big store with only one worker...this is not Mexico. Side note: big kudos to the young lady working as fast as she can alone! She did the job for 3 people. Give her a raise. We left her with a $5 tip. Ice cream and waffle fish was delicious. Tried black sesame, milk, strawberry, ube.

Soft serve with upside down Taiyaki cones & Taiyaki with custard fillings
Silvia H.

SomiSomi has made its way to Temecula! A rarity once consolidated only to LA or San Diego's foodie scenes has made its reach to our side of the Inland Valley. This is definitely a must try if you're craving something sweet. My personal favs are the crispy taiyakis with a spongey bite before you reach the warm gooey filling of your choice. You can't go wrong with a classic custard, but the sweetness scale has no limit--from Nutella to a milder matcha or black sesame filling. I personally don't gravitate towards soft serve, but aside from special swirl combinations, they also offer a topping bar selection to further customize your sweet treat. Highly recommend!

We've been here twice since they opened, and I really wanted to love this location... but it's just not hitting the same. First off, service isn't the greatest. The space is also lacking seating-- there are only a few stand-up shelves inside similar to Mira Mesa, but come on, you have ALL that empty space! For context, we used to live in Mira Mesa and would go to that location all the time. Their taiyaki was always made fresh-- warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. At this Temecula location, the taiyaki has been HARD AS A ROCK both times. They seem to pre-make them and have fans blowing on them, which completely dries them out. That's honestly the biggest disappointment. Taiyaki should be hot and fresh-- that's kind of the whole point..... The ice cream itself is still good, and I do appreciate the rotating flavors and the variety of toppings. That part is consistent. But overall, the quality just isn't at the same level as the San Diego spots. Hoping management tightens things up because it has so much potential.

Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 4 I've been to SomiSomi in San Diego before and always enjoyed it but for some reason the Temecula location is just on another level. I've visited twice now and even though there were some people there each time the service was quick and friendly. We have had the cold brew (ok!), taiyaki (warm and filling) and soft serve (creamy and delicious!). The ube, matcha, strawberry/banana pudding soft serve and all are so tasty! We've also tried red bean and custard fillings for the taiyaki. Everything is yummy and aesthetically pleasing and you honestly can't go wrong. There isn't really a place to sit down and eat but they have tables where you can enjoy your treats while standing up and they also have some water if you need it as well. I recommend this place to get your soft serve on!

Somisomi in Temecula continues to serve up delicious and iconic taiyaki with ice cream. Winter seasonal flavors include their banana pudding ice cream (which has been bomb) and hotteok taiyaki, a thick warm cinnamon and nut filling reminiscent of apple pie filling without the fruit. I recently had their ice cream for an elite event and had to come back for more. Highly recommend both limited flavors before it goes away!

New location For ice cream and waffle place they do have a large selection They make their fish waffle comes fresh to order too Service is friendly and careful too Too bad the little macaroon was a bit stale but quite colorful Black sesame tastes very Asian-- not for the faint of heart The he hotteok was really Korean flavor with the nutty sweetness - yummy Very fresh and authentic A meal in itself

It's located at the corner of Promenade in Temecula a little tucked away. It's nice because they have a ton of benches and umbrellas you can sit outside to enjoy your ice cream. The store is nice and clean. There was only one worker when we went. She was quick and friendly. They have a handful of different soft serves and they'll swap out which swirls flavors they have. I usually get the matcha, but I tried the matcha strawberry swirl today. It was a great mix of flavors! I like getting the ahboong where the ice cream comes swirled on top of the fish bread (not made from real fish), but they have different options as well. You can get the fish bread on top or just in the cup! They also sell the fish bread on the side. They offer different filling flavors and toppings!

Been wanting to check out SomiSomi and finally got the chance a few days ago with my kids. Its located by the mall near Benihana. We all ordered their fish shaped cone upside downwith soft serve called "Ahboong". You can either order it this way, or the just soft serve in a cup and even a cold brew float. Once you order what style, you have serveral choices for soft serve and the filling of the ahboong (fish cone). So many varieties you can make! Not only do they serve this but they also serve Taiyaki which is just the fish shaped waffle with a filling. Everything is made to order and this sweet treat is pure deliciousness. Hot or cold day, its an enjoyable treat! As you enter the store, straight ahead is the counter area where they make the goods and to your right is a long standing table/countertop to enjoy your treats. Unfortunately there are no tables or chairs inside but outside are some benches. The young ladies assisting us were nice and helpful with any questions we had. This is a cashless establishment so make sure to have a card to make your purchases not cash. Can't wait to come back and try another variety of flavors!

Ah-boong (soft serve and fish waffle shaped cone) (matcha soft serve and Nutella filling)
Erick M.

DELICIOUS Korean DESSERT!!! They serve a special Korean Dessert "Ah-Boong" fish waffle shaped cone with the filling of your choice on soft service The contrast of the warm waffle cone and cold soft serve makes it an enjoyable treat Ambiance: simple nothing fancy, but the food is what you come here for. We got the upside down ah boong with matcha as the soft serve and Nutella filling in the waffle cone. SO GOOD If you haven't tried Ah-Boong, give it a try and you won't regret it!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Strawberry milk and Ube Ah Boong

The LINE was so long and it felt like 100 degrees but, it was so worth the WAIT!! Plus my hubby was so nice enough to buy some umbrellas from DOLLAR TREE so that helped a lot. We are SO HAPPY that SOMI SOMI opened up here in Temecula because it's usually a drive to LA or SD... SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: GOLDEN by Huntrix We're goin' Somi Somi Somi It's our moment You know the taiyakis were glowing Gonna be, gonna be golden Oh, up, up, up With our ah boong Gonna be, gonna be golden UBE AH-BOONG: 10/10 is so refreshing and can't go wrong with waffles and Ube ice cream or soft serve... STRAWBERRY MILK: 10/10 Out was so refreshing and I love the generous portions of the strawberries... 5 Taiyaki: 10/10 They were made fresh right in front of me. You can check out my video if you don't believe me but, everything was so fresh and clean CLEAN...like the song by OUTKAST... SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PARKING: Plenty!!!!!! We were willing to wait in line in a 100 degree weather so we will be happy to return AGAIN come rain or shine!!!!! ROCK ON SOMI SOMI!!!!!!!!!!

Matcha ice cream with matcha powder topping
Katelyn B.

This was wonderful. The matcha is to die for if you don't mind me saying and my husband absolutely adored the custard filled fish cone thing. The service was wonderful we were helped quickly and they answered the questions my husband had since he had never tried it before. On top of that, my husband had been raving about how delicious the ice cream was when he accidentally dropped it mid sentence. In spite of the overwhelming crowd of people that had just come in and were waiting in line, the wonderful workers replaced my husband's ice cream free of charge. The restaurant itself is clean but there are no seats. You take your desert and go.

Tried out this new location on a Saturday night. Arrived at 8pm and the line moved steadily. It's popular so we expected it to be crowded. We finally made our way to the front in 30 minutes. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The portions were very generous. The store is bright and smells so good. We will be back.

The food is super delicious! This is definitely one of my top 5 favorite restaurants!read more

Nice service and decent meat for the price!…read more The menu is straightforward with the basic meat options. Although the choices are very limited, they offer the typical meat options that people would normally get at other locations. The menu states that there's a limit on the marinated short ribs, but the worker said that we could get as much as we wanted. The ventilation could definitely be better, but it didn't bother us that much. Our favorite part was that they provided FREE ice cream at the end of our meal which was a pleasant surprise. * Beef Brisket: 9/10 - cooks the fastest and pairs nicely with the brisket sauce * Bulgogi Beef: 9/10 - nicely marinated and tender * Beef Short Ribs: 9/10 - the best choice, but we were curious as to why it didn't come with the bones * Ice Cream: 10/10 - perfect dessert after such a very meal The place is a good size and can fit a large number of booths and grills. We came when they first opened so the workers were quite attentive, but it might be different during hectic dinner times. They're located in a small lot with the gas station and other shops so parking might be tough. Considering this is one of the few KBBQ places in the area, we were happy with our experience and would definitely consider coming back!

I see this place recommended a lot and this week I was temecula for work and knew I had to stop in…read more Now it's become an absolute must visit every time i'm in the area - so good, and reasonably priced! (cheap lunch specials at both locations) Food (5/5) - took some coworkers here for a work lunch and even just the lowest tier menu was great in price and taste. Great sides like corn cheese and fried chicken, and great quality meats like the beef belly and flavorful bulgogi had us eating until we gained a few extra pounds. need to come back for the premium menus. service (5/5) - i guess they usually have a tablet system to order, but it wasn't working today so they had servers taking orders. Didn't make a difference as our server was great and on top of new orders for us. ambiance (5/5) well ventilated, spacious and comfortable seating, music not too loud, plenty of parking in a big plaza, and a super sleek and modern interior design made for a very enjoyable dining experience here.

The brisket, beef steak, and beef chop steak were phenomenal and definitely the stars of the meal…read more Those cuts were really well done. The pickled radish was amazing, but the thin radish wrap didn't have that tangy pickled taste at all, which was a little disappointing. The kimchi was average -- I've had much more delicious versions elsewhere. The iced green tea also tasted very watered down -- the color in my cup was practically clear with only the slightest tint of green if you looked carefully, which says a lot. Overall, a pretty average experience with some standout meats and great banchan variety, but the service and a few details could definitely be improved.

Hands down the best ramen joint in Temecula! They offer a moderately extensive range of ramen…read moreoptions, with substitutions such as chicken or tofu if you're looking for lean or vegetarian. Noodle consistency is great with their Blaze or Classic ramen options, as the broth tends to be a little thicker and creamier than the Shoyu option. Their appetizer selection is also pretty diner friendly and sure to include a little something for everyone. If you're not in the mood for noodles, they also offer regular or large rice bowls, which come with amazing flavor profiles all on their own. At a glance, the 'regular' size option might seem like an insignificant portion, but rest assured it comes ready to satisfy the types of diners who'd prefer to taste a little of everything. My only critique would be on the sushi selection. It didn't taste so fresh, but then again this place is obviously not named Silverlake Sushi, so I'll rest my case on that note. I stand firmly behind ramen being the craft that Silverlake takes time to perfect, both in the intricate taste and in visual detail. Highly recommend if you're craving noodles and don't want to drive out of town to get them!
