“ I come here whenever we come to Little Tokyo for dessert. My partner & kids love the ube / milk swirl ice cream & I always treat myself to the red bean taiyaki. This is my favorite place to get taiyaki because it's always made fresh, the red bean paste is mildly sweet and evenly distributed. It is a very small shop located pretty central in Little Tokyo so very easy to walk to. The wait to order is never bad unlike the seating which is super limited. I believe there are only 4-5 tables inside with no additional seating outside. No bathroom. ”

“ SomiSomi is my favorite dessert place! I love the consistency of the soft serve and that it isn't too sweet. Sometimes I wish the waffles were more fresh as I know they prep them in advance at times but overall they are still delicious especially with the fillings! We will continue visiting somisomi whenever we are nearby. ”

“ Quick service and great spot for dessert. The swirls are on a weekly rotation, so be aware of that. It's located outside of the central shopping area, so there's plenty of places to check out while you're in the area. ”

“ I've been to Somisomi a few times, was sad that the location at the Santa Anita mall closed. Even tho this location is closer I always dread the crowds, parking and unfortunately the lack of cleanliness outside. There's usually homeless ppl roaming around and just a stale smell that lingers outside which is pretty much the only place you can eat it since it won't travel well. The line was long even on a Wednesday night but moved pretty quickly and very easy to place order at the kiosk up front. This time I ordered the milk and ube and I was very tempted to try the cookie butter one. I got the taiyaki with black sesame filling and upside down since I find that the easiest way to eat it and any dripping from the soft serve will fall into the cup. I would say it always hits and I always enjoy it even though I have a hard time finishing the whole thing. Nothing wrong with the place itself or what they serve, I'm just not a fan of the location and lack of dining area inside. Still a good spot to hit up for dessert if you're having dinner in Little Tokyo. ”

“ Yes, it's worth the hype and long lines. Point deduction for it being messy in the work area but all the employees wore plastic gloves when handling the all food. ”

“ My daughter's friend wanted to try this place. I'd never heard of it, but we ordered the Taiyaki, 5 for $8.95. It's a waffle type dessert in the shape of a fish and you get to pick your filling. I chose Nutella and YUM!! They make it fresh while you wait so it's nice and warm, a very delicious snack. It was a somewhat chilly day so I didn't feel like trying the soft serve. Something to look forward to when I come back on a warmer day. The restaurant itself was very clean with ample seating. I LOVED the taiyaki and would come back again to get that! ”

“ Always love coming here. I literally devoured mine. I got cookies and cream ice cream, with the fish on top Nutella filled and Oreo sprinkles. So yummy. This spot never disappoints. They usually have it out within 2 mins. What gets better than quick service ice cream. ”

“ SomiSomi is the perfect spot for a sweet treat! Parking was super convenient -- we found a spot across the street in the parking garage with no trouble at all. We tried the cookie butter & matcha swirl, and it was absolutely delicious! Even though we're not big on sweets, this had just the right amount of sweetness, and the flavors blended perfectly. The service was quick and efficient, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors! Highly recommend! ”
