A deliciously cute (even the name) and photogenic Korean (I honestly thought it was Japanese but fact checked myself) soft serve and taiyaki treat (fish shaped sweet chewy waffle like cake with or without filling). Lots of customizable options from the soft serve to toppings. There are also seasonal flavors and a rotating menu of choices. Beware if you're living a lactose free life though. I don't think there are dairy free options (yet). There's always a line out the door since it's popular, so anticipate some sort of wait especially on weekends. The Main Square is getting more popular. Cute for like an after meal dessert or sweet treat. Like all things, consume in moderation and savor the flavor!
Amazing soft serve ice cream place! We got a pink guava soft serve, vanilla upside-down ah-boong and oreo taiyakis. Only suggestion is to have lactose-free options for the vanilla flavor. Other than that, great destination for desserts!
Obviously this does not need another review! Hugely popular and rightfully so. Both the waffle and ice-cream was delicious. But service could be better. Feels like they are not prepared to handle their huge demand.
Somisomi is not bad. The line at this particular Somisomi is insane. I got the ube cookies and cream swirl and it was great. I like the ube more than cookies and cream personally.I really like their waffle and might skip the ice cream and just go for the waffle with fillings. This time I tried cream and I’ll definitely skip it next time and go with ube or Nutella.IMPORTANT NOTE: Some waffles were cold and some just came out. The cold ones are hard and not crispy, a totally different experience. Make sure to ask for a waffle fresh out of the machine.One thing to note: it’s obviously very heavy and I felt a huge sugar crush after
If you order taiyaki, be ready for a long wait. Individual ice cream/taiyaki orders have priority. The store has limited capacity to process taiyaki-only orders. Today one of the machines was broken (but they did not disclose this fact when I placed the order), so the order was not ready after 45 minutes. I asked for a refund, but the store is not prepared to issue you a refund (they cannot process and print a refund ticket). I left the store without being sure if I would get a refund.
Soft-served ice cream in a fish waffle, located in a very popular plaza. There is always a line outside the shop and limited seating outdoors nearby. The ice cream is creamy and the fish waffle is freshly made - crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. My go to is the Ube / milk swirl flavor, however the store offers other pop-up flavors that change every once in a while.
YES!!! Taste is good and the fish is amazing! Fluffy waffle which we usually get filled with Nutella. The ice cream flavors are limited but all good. The line can get long late evenings, sometimes we have to wait 20 minutes to get to order. Getting there close to their 9pm closing time is probably less wait.
My friends took us for ice creams to this place in Cupertino. This place always has a queue of people waiting to get the soft serves/ah-boongs and taiyakis. We tried the matcha+ube ah-boong along with the shareable taiyakis. I loved the idea and also the taste of the inverted ah-boong lined with Nutella. The taiyakis were okay and not amazing. I would go there again to try their black sesame flavor ?
Warm, soft, fragrant waffles with decadent fillings such as custard, Nutella, and red bean, filled with deliciously creamy soft serve that come in flavors like matcha, ube, and black sesame. An ah-boong (upside down or not) will run you $6.45 and also comes dusted in great toppings like graham cracker crust or Oreo crumbles. Really lovely! Will be back.
Soft serve is gorgeous as the same as in Japan. You can choose different toppings for your soft serve. Always popular, I waited for 20 mins…but still worth!
