So yummy! The closest thing I have found to Obayaki since living in Japan! The only downside is that they can only make 10 tayaki at a time, so the wait time is a little crazy.

I don't eat sweets often, but when I do crave something, I always come here for a little sweet treat. The line could get long but it goes very quickly. I won't ever get tired of the Nutella in the middle of the waffle cone. So yummy!

Overall, I love the taste of the soft serve here. I've tried many different flavors and they have weekly swirls, which are all delicious. The only reason I gave it a four star instead of five stars is because they are not consistent in how they line the cones with filling, and sometimes the cone has half filling in it and was not properly lined, depending on who is working there.

We always come here for the taiyaki with black sesame filling. It's 2 of these for only $5 so it's the perfect pick me up treat. We learned that for this month March they are offering a new Mint Oreo filling, so be sure to try it! Big servings so if getting the ice cream too you can def share it between the two of you!

Somisomi, I always look for you everywhere I go! This is one of my favorite places to get soft serve. My favorite flavor is ube and it's consistent in every state we go too - I love that we get extra sprinkles at the end, my daughter loves that and the cute macaroon. The taiyaki was wonderful, we ordered 5 different flavors and it came out hot and fresh - I like to order this separately so it doesn't get soggy with my soft serve. The ambiance is clean and service is pretty quick even though there's always a line here.

Love this place. I have tried, milk, milk tea and cookies and cream. So far I love cookies and cream. And I love adding graham cracker and Oreo.

I've always had a weakness for soft-serve ice cream, and this place truly delivers the best. From the first visit, I was hooked, and no matter the weather, I find myself coming back again and again. I've tried so many flavors, and every single one has been consistently delicious. Even my picky daughter, who rarely enjoys sweets, absolutely loves their soft-serve and the filled Taiyaki--it's become a favorite treat for both of us. I like the variety of toppings they offer to customize your soft serve. The convenience of a water station is also a plus. This is not a sit-down ice cream parlor--it's more of a quick, grab-and-go kind of place. That said, the bright and colorful decor creates such a cheerful and welcoming vibe. If you're a fan of soft-serve or Taiyaki, this is definitely a place you need to check out!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Seating: 0/5 Parking: 4/5 I've been here a couple times and it's pretty consistent as a good dessert place if you're looking for soft-serve ice cream with a twist. Located inside a shopping plaza, although there is a large, free, public parking lot expect it to be busy and hard to find close-by parking. There is no seating included. You can stand inside at these skinny wooden counters, there's a courtyard to stand outside, or if you're lucky there's one bench to sit down outside. The service is quick, you order at the cashier in the front then make your way down the line where they ask if you want any toppings including a macaron or strawberry on top. They do offer free, self-service water + cups. The food itself is delicious. They have seasonal flavors for the soft-serve ice cream, I tried the sweet corn which tasted as expected. For the Taiyaki (the golden fish cake), it's like biting into a sweet waffle with a crispy outside and you can choose to fill it with custard on the inside. I chose the matcha custard and it was delicious! Overall, fast service and a delicious treat! Definitely will be returning. Just keep in mind you're eating in your car or standing around.

We came here after we had lunch in Olive Garden. It's not too far from each other. My hubby ordered one Ube and cookies and cream soft-serve ice cream. We like the ice cream texture--not too soft. The teriyaki is crispy, but it's a little cool because they made it in advance and let it cool down. They prepared the order fast because they had enough staff. We've had their teriyaki in various flavors before and are pretty satisfied. Although the plaza here is getting busy, it's still not a challenge to find parking.

SOMISOMI is one of my favourite places for soft serve. Not only do they have great soft serve, but delicious taiyaki as well. My hubs usually get the matcha soft serve and as for me, I like to try any seasonal flavours so I had went with the sweet corn. Really wished that the corn flavour was stronger though. Highly recommend getting it in a cup versus ah boong where the soft serve is directly inside of the taiyaki to avoid having it melt dripping all over your hands. For taiyaki filling, I enjoyed the red bean, custard, and matcha custard. I have yet to try the black sesame which I'm sure is also good. One choice of topping is included, along with either a strawberry or macaron to pair it with.
