What you should know about SomiSomi.
SomiSomi is best known for representing the nationwide expansion of SomiSomi Soft Serve & Taiyaki, a dessert concept founded in 2016 in Los Angeles that introduced Korean-style ah-boong fish-shaped waffles filled with soft serve to American audiences while drawing inspiration from the Japanese tradition of taiyaki. The company built its identity around made-to-order taiyaki prepared with fillings including red bean, custard, Nutella, taro, and cheddar, paired with premium soft serve flavors such as milk, matcha, ube, black sesame, and rotating seasonal specialties that encourage countless flavor combinations. Signature desserts including the Ah-Boong, Taiyaki, Bungeoppang-inspired waffles, Upside Down, and specialty parfait-style creations reflect a culinary philosophy balancing Korean dessert traditions with contemporary presentation while maintaining freshly baked preparation throughout the day. Continued national expansion, handcrafted taiyaki, rotating soft serve flavors, and an enduring commitment to Korean-inspired desserts have established SomiSomi among Spring Valley's most popular destinations for artisan sweets.
Warm taiyaki emerge from the iron with crisp golden exteriors and tender interiors before creamy milk, matcha, ube, or black sesame soft serve slowly melts into freshly baked pastry, creating a satisfying contrast between warm and cold with each spoonful. Sweet red bean, silky custard, rich Nutella, earthy taro, toasted black sesame, fresh strawberries, crunchy cereal, colorful sprinkles, and chewy mochi broaden the progression through contrasting textures and balanced sweetness. Freshly baked cones, seasonal flavors, vibrant fruit, whipped cream, and carefully layered toppings complete desserts whose playful presentation is matched by remarkable attention to texture, temperature, and flavor. Together the taiyaki irons, soft serve program, and thoughtfully curated toppings express a culinary identity defined by handcrafted preparation, Korean dessert traditions, and an enduring appreciation for joyful simplicity.
