Social distancing was being practiced here and the entire staff were donning face masks. They even went so far as to color coordinate it into part of their uniform and brand with a black and yellow trimmed mask covering the nose and mouth.The line was very short but kept on moving steadily, when the line died Down, more foot traffic wandered in. Unlike last weekend when we came and waited for like ever in line.I ordered the Ube Froyo with red bean paste last time and got an oreo sprinkle on it. I didnt love the Froyo and the ube flavor wasnt pronounced yet the color of the froyo was legit grape shaded purple invoking strong Ube vibes. I will not order their ube froyo again but am curious about the Matcha flavor. Ill give it one more try.Today I got the Taiyaki only.2 redbean filled1 custard filled1 Taro filledI didnt LOVE the redbean which is a shame coz I love redbean. Mainly I thought itbwas way too sweet. Almost cloying as it left a negative impression on my palate.The Taro was better, yesterday still on the sweeter side of perfection. The Custard filled Taiyaki is the winner. I loved it. Juat the right amount of sweet to compliment the pastry that it comes lined in .
Best Soft Serve ice cream in San Diego. The only down side is they only have four flavors. Upside is you can try them all in one visit by get two swirl flavors.
The ice cream here is Delectable, creamy and the toppings are good as well. Loved the little fish they give you, unfortunately do to the circumstances the ice cream is given to you on a cup instead of the fish cone but it’s still good and you still get the fish which by the way is yummy and filled with Nutella and three other options and of course I got mine with Nutella.
AMAZING matcha ice cream! Everyone is always so nice at this location and the I’ve cream never disappoints.
Delicious treat at an affordable price and fairly quick service!! I was creamy and smooth packed with flavor! The Ah-boong waffles are thick and with your choice of fillings adds well with the soft serve. Definitely the perfect treat you, your friends and family 👪.
Soo yummy! I love going here. My bf usually get the cup of the “ice cream” and 2 of the fishy shaped thing and it’s enough for us. So basically we share the cup of ice cream (I think it’s a really good amount to share) and then each have our stuff/filled fishy 💕
Ice cream with fish shape waffle is top notch. Inside seating or umbrella for patio seating would be nice on hot summer day though.
What a wonderful change from typical soft serve ice cream! A warm fish shaped cone with or without an extra coat of flavor on the inside. You can also add an extra delicious topping on the soft serve.
Very good ice-cream 👍🏽 👏 👌🏽 😀
Love the fish-shaped cones. The milk flavor is my favorite - not too sweet but very creamy and tasty. Definitely try this place out if youve never been
The concept is unique and the flavours are new. I believe Mira Mesa has more mix swirl flavours compared to Convoy. Ahboong upside down is huge and can be easily shared by two people. Taiyakis are the best and you can always ask them to make it more crispy for a perfect crunch yet chewy texture. Custard and red bean are the best choices here.
Fun little dessert shop in the middle of convoy. Korean style shaved ice and a take on a classic Japanese dessert.A bit pricey for what you get but the waffle is leagues better than the ice cream. Tayaki is great but get it filled with custard or red bean.The Korean flavors for the shaved ice are different but tasty
The ice cream is so smooth and the fish shaped waffle on top is really fun. Great spot for dessert
Ice cream and fish waffle with cream was great. Had vanilla flavored. Shared with my dog who loved it especially on a hot day.
This place is poppin!! It’s honestly really cute, There isn’t a lot of options for what to get, but honestly it makes it so much easier to choose. I got the red bean taiyaki and it was delicious! They are only serving to go orders currently. But for the price and quality I’m impressed. Plus they were really quick with getting the food out to us.
Love thier ice cream with the special fish waffle
Delish!!! I absolutely recommend to anyone who loves icecream, deserts.. i rated 5 stars cause they have lactose free icecream i was delighted. Plus those waffle treats yumm,. I got it with Nutella filling!
Definitely a unique experience. They offer a soft serve ice cream served in a pastry shaped like a fish. The fish is filled with things like Nutella or Custard. The ice cream is then topped with options like fruit and cookie crumbs.It can be messy but quiet delicious. The drawbacks are the huge lines and very limited parking.
Brought my daughter in for a special treat, she chose a matcha Ube swirl cup with red bean filled fish cone, macaroon and rainbow sprinkles. It is delicious!! And definitely big enough for 2 to share. Good price, clean space, happy and helpful employees who were ready to answer my 8 year old’s questions and offer samples. We do recommend and will come again!
Ice cream is great, but theres no where to sit. not ideal to eat outside when its 85F & ice cream melts fast.
The waffles were the best part. We could have skipped the ice cream. Their soft serve, however, is silky smooth.
Parking lot is always full here, so you might end up in street parking, but we got lucky. Its attached to the shop next door, but if you want soft serve you have to enter the door on the right. There was a line when we arrived, but it moves pretty quickly!. Was lucky enough to try them all. The One and Black Sesame are the best in my opinion. The fish cones are made fresh and are delicious. Add your favorite filling and toppings and go.
Nice place for treats. They have soft serve in yummy flavors like milk, ube, Oreo and matcha. They run about $7 with the fish shaped waffle cone and filling. The seating is nice, there is enough for a group to sit down and enjoy a treat. It’s clean and staff is friendly. You can also go to a different counter and get drinks and other treats as well so there is a treat for everyone.
Very delicious soft icecream . We tried the Ube with cookies and cream and Matcha with milk . The service was great. I highly recommend this place
So delicious and fun. The fish tastes like a waffle and the ice cream is delightful.
Very cool idea for ice cream putting it in the pancake fish with custard/red bean/Nutella. Limited on ice cream choices, you only have green tea, milk, Ube, and black sesame. There weren’t that much flavors in the ice cream, everything taste like vanilla soft served. The green tea and black sesame could use more flavors. Ube is decent. It’s the idea that’s cool though.
This is a place I bring all friends that visit me. It’s delicious! I haven’t met a single person who didn’t enjoy the sweet treats there 😋
Very delicious and unique.. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Good price good quality fast service would go again long lines move quickly
Parking lot is insufficient like every other establishment in the area, the line is twice as long as any other place around on a Friday night... But Id be lying if I said it wasnt worth it.
Excellent customer service. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I enjoyed there. Thank you!!!
Love the red bean with Ube ice cream
Yummy soft serve. The fish waffle is addicting !
My husband and I love coming to somi somi! We first discovered it in Vegas and we’re excited to find it elsewhere! My only complaint is the fact that you can’t mix and match the flavors and you can only get them in the specific swirls they have that week if you want more than one flavor.
Delicious! Absolutely delicious. Very generous portions especially for the price and overall high quality frozen yogurt. Delicious and fun
The service was great! To be honest, the ice cream is a bit on the sweet side for me and the Taiyaki takes an extra 10 minutes to get, so eat your ice cream and then get your taiyaki.
Found this through Google Maps and added it as one of our vacation destination spots... Worth it! One of the questions in this page Why is this place so damn good? Yes just about sums this place up. Its fantastic. I lived in Korea for a couple of years and this brought back some memories. Definitely worth it!
Excellent product, but seating sucks and always dirty
Want ice cream? This is the place to be!! Japanese style cones and Tayaki and amazing ice cream flavors that will have you coming for more.
Love the Oreo ice cream! Very busy, but they line went fast.
Generous portion of ice cream, and yummy taiyaki (fish pancake). The ice cream is on the heavy side, very thick and buttery. Would be even better if the ice cream can be a tad lighter. The green tea and ube twirl is the best.
Such a fun ice cream shop, a Destination in San Diego. Fun flavored ice cream like matcha & ube, and the fish shaped pastry can be filled with nutella, red bean etc. Super cute and delicious
The oreo ice cream and custard combo was amazing...you can add toppings like fruity pebbles or Graham crackers at the end to add even more sweetness to your dessert
The restaurant is really simple and clean. A nice place for a quick ice cream. You just pick from six ice creams, choose whether you want a bowl or a fish (you can get the fish in the bowl), and then pick your toppings! The staff was very helpful and the facilities were very clean. Highly recommend it!
I get why people come here, its for the unique-ness but its just ice cream in a fish shaped cone.Tried it, wasnt ground breaking - was okay
Fun dessert place with highly grammable offerings. I got the taro and Oreo swirled Ah-Boong in a cup, with Oreo crumbles and matcha powder on top. I congratulate myself on yet another excellent flavor pairing because it was really, really good. Its definitely enough ice cream to share with a second person, and in fact Id recommend it. The line moved quickly even though it stretched out the door, and there was open seating outdoors available. For the amount of business they do, Id like to see the patio freshened up and cared for a bit more, but its functional and not too messy. Id come again, especially with people from out of town.
Omg so delicious!! Great fast service and yummy yummy ice cream
The Matcha-Ube weekly flavor was too sweet for me
Love the vibe of the store. The ice cream and fillings are great.
Taiyaki were crispy and filled well. Ice cream was great!
This place makes delicious and fun soft serve ice cream treats. If youre looking for something different from traditional American Ice Cream, look no further. Tastes great with whimsical fun!
The TV with the menu didn’t have the menu up, just a screensaver and the cashier wasn’t really pleasant about explaining how it works! There’s no real clear direction on where you should go as you wait for your order and we weren’t told where our order would be when it was ready. After we were told to wait outside we had to listen super carefully for our order to be shouted out because they only shout it from the counter, nobody comes out. The people working today weren’t super friendly! The taiyaki was pretty good! A little undercooked, we could tell in the batter on the inside. Unfortunately, I don’t think the taiyaki was good enough to come back or recommend because our experience was so awkward.
Really good ice cream with a crispy chewy fish cone, but perhaps a bit too much ice cream. Not enough flavors to choose from.
