First timer very interesting concept a waffle shaped like a fish called Taiyaki can ordered separately , on top of your soft ice cream and filled with custard or 6 other fillings .the line was long but moved quickly . When it’s your turn You can either use the kiosk to order or go to counter , the worker fill your order and then you go to pick up station . The fish waffle and ice cream both tasted great. The workers all were working hard . Very tasty
This place has got a fun name for sure. The ice cream is even more fun. And if you’re really feeling it, grab the ice cream in the fish waffle thingy bc it’s legit. They got some fun flavours and sprinkles. Great part about em is that they’re open late so you can sweeten that decaying sweet tooth of yours late at night. Def a spot to check out when you’re at the spectrum!
The best waffle / cone for ice cream i have ever tried. Salted caramel was okay, but milk was fantastic. I do recommend the Nutella filling
Nutella and Oreo filled Taiyaki (a fish shaped Japanese cake, like a waffle and a crepe YUM! You should try these. There are so many different filling flavors!
My 1st experience
I’m here for the taiyaki!! I love taiyaki!! It’s a plus that it’s very close by. I usually get this at little Tokyo and ever since we moved to the oc area things are getting so much better.
We were greeted right away. A lot of signs of how to order your taiyaki with your favorite toppings and fillings. Everything about this place is on point. It’s so good. I’m definitely coming back her again. Highly recommend!
"Not too sweet, perfect sweetness" is the quote on advertisements around Irvine Spectrum--advertising Somi Somi. And I have to agree! For those who don't like interesting flavors such as mocha and black sesame, I recommend getting Ube. You can get ice cream is a fish shaped cone and fill the edges of that cone with Nutella, Custard, or even Red Bean. The restaurant is definitely Asian, but has some other options that are less foreign to the average American palate. One of the best ice cream shops at spectrum, seeing success year round.
Make sure you put your ice-cream-fish-cone inside a bowl, you're almost destined to spill the ice cream with no bowl.
It was as a little different than experience. There js something called Taiyaki(Warm fish-shaped waffle filled with choice of filling. Fillings include custard, taro, red beans and more! ) and soft serve ice cream. Ah-Boong which is combination of soft serve ice cream and Taiyaki. Tried Salted caramel and Strawberry. May be need to try Matcha and Taro. Saw some people having both together. Need to try
The fish cake waffles are amazing nice and crispy and goes nice with the ice cream
You can order on the tablet up front
It gets done pretty quick. Sat down for like 1 minute and it was done
They'll ask what toppings on the ice cream
There was no one at the time when we ordered but people arrive after we got our stuff
Make sure not to miss it In-between shake shack. Kinda looks like a little alleyway
There's some seats and tables to relax outside
Definitely recommend
They have different flavour ice cream everytime I go and you can get it in a cone or with the fishy.
The fishy tastes pretty good and they always make it on the spot.
I've tried ube, sesame, green tea, vanilla and I love their ube flavour. It doesn't taste fake and it's not too sweet
We loved it
Absolutely delicious and fantastic
Even I forgot to take pictures so I took picture after eat lol
