About SomiSomi

SomiSomi is a beloved dessert destination, offering a unique fusion of Japanese and Korean flavors. Their signature taiyaki, a crispy and warm pastry, is paired with creamy soft serve ice cream in a variety of flavors. The matcha and ube flavors are particularly popular, with the ube being praised for its perfect balance of sweetness, density, and creaminess. The taste of the taiyaki is often described as piping hot, soft, and delicious, with some wishing for more red bean paste. The store is conveniently located in the Irvine Spectrum and can have a line depending on the time of day. Despite its busy atmosphere, the team ensures quick service, and the efficient ordering system means the wait is never excessively long. The taiyaki options are diverse, with flavors like Nutella, taro, Oreo, and custard, and the mochi dough is chewy, complementing the fillings well. Customers appreciate the "not too sweet" nature of the desserts, making SomiSomi a must-visit destination for dessert lovers, especially when looking for a tasty treat in a lovely outdoor mall.
