Somisomi

Service was quick and efficient. I got the Ube with the coconut flakes, and they even gave me extra when I asked. The fish on top is the best because of how warm and delicious it is. Overall 10/10.

My favorite soft serve ice cream place in the Bay. Not too sweet, creamy, smooth, and super flavorful. My favorite soft serve is matcha and ube swirl.

I also love their ahbong (fish cake). Hot, made fresh to order, and the crunchy and chewy texture outside plus the decadent fillings keep me coming back to this place for more! My favorite filling is custard and red bean.

We had an impromptu ice cream pow-wow here as a family on Wednesday - this is my son's favorite soft-serve ice cream - I was underwhelmed by the one I had - maybe I need another round here before I can make up my mind.

Decor is quirky and fun and the service is quick and efficient (not super friendly vibes). We all got the Ube flavor and I appreciated the fact that it wasn't overly sweet but not yet sold on this place - I will be back !

A bunch of inexpereinced folks with no idea on how to deal with customers ... very disappointing

If I was the business owner I would recommend checking in more often

Dropped by for dessert on a Saturday night. It was super crowded! It was definitely a popular place! It was a little too popular though. There was approx. 10-20 people standing along the walls waiting to be called. They also had to turn off the self service ordering kiosks and pause on taking orders so that they can fill everyone's order before increasing the queue. It also took about half an hour just to fill our order of a box of Taiyaki. But at least you know that it's fresh!

The soft serve order (matcha and salted caramel swirl) in a cup came much much faster though. I got fruity pebbles and macaron as a topping. After trying the fruity pebbles topping, if was SOOOOOO good that I eventually went to safeway and bought some knockoff fruity pebbles so that I can eat with my own ice cream. :)

The previous time I came, I only got a taiyaki. This time, I only got the soft serve. Maybe next time, I'll get both (taiyaki plus the soft serve). :)

Somisomi is an absolute gem for anyone with a sweet tooth! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the heavenly aroma of freshly made waffle cones. The menu boasts an impressive array of soft serve flavors, but the real magic happens when you start customizing your swirl with various toppings and drizzles.

I can't get enough of their signature Taiyaki cone - a crispy fish-shaped waffle filled with creamy soft serve. It's both adorable and delicious! Whether you're a classic vanilla lover or crave something more adventurous like ube or matcha, Somisomi has something for everyone.

The staff here are always friendly and eager to help you create the perfect treat. The portions are generous, making it an ideal spot for sharing with friends or indulging in a solo dessert adventure. Plus, the modern and inviting atmosphere makes it a great place to hang out and satisfy your cravings.

I highly recommend Somisomi to anyone looking for a delightful dessert experience. It's the perfect place to treat yourself after a long day or celebrate a special occasion. Trust me, one visit and you'll be hooked - just like I am!

The best soft serve on the planet. Get any flavor. Add this delicious fish thingy (yes I know its real name).

Can I have this every day? Just say yes and yes!

I've never been disappointed by somi somi. It's always tasty and so good! I got the Ube with the fish on top and it's so delicious! Service here was good and I can't wait to go back for more!

I recommend order taiyaki and ice cream separately! They make fresh taiyaki! I wished they have more filling inside taiyaki. Both taste good:) I like mixed flavors ice cream.

(Overall: 93% | A) - One of my favorite soft serve places opened up in Palo Alto replacing the old Ice Cream Sandwich place which I personally did not find good. I love the fruit forward nature of the mango and guava, adding a tropical note to the soft serve. The dessert is very pretty and the taiyaki is decently crispy. The only thing to note about Somi Somi's soft serve is that it melts incredibly fast so be sure to eat it quickly before it turns into soup -- it is very soft and luscious though!
