Originally hailing from Koreatown in Los Angeles, the dessert destination <a href="https://sandiego.eater.com/2017/11/10/16633814/somisomi-soft-serve-taiyaki-convoy-kearny-mesa">landed in San Diego in 2017</a> and is known for its popularity with the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/somisomi/?hl=en">Instagram </a>set. Open daily from noon to 11 p.m., the Mira Mesa outpost is offering six ice cream flavors, including ube and black sesame; weekly swirl combinations, such as Oreo/coffee and milk/matcha, are also available. In lieu of cones, SomiSomi serves freshly-made, fish-shaped hollow pastries called <em>ah-boong </em>in Korean, which get a dollop of Nutella, custard, red bean, or taro filling before being crowned with a swirl of ice cream. Additional toppings include coconut flakes, rainbow sprinkles, and sugary cereal as well as a tiny macaron or fresh strawberry. A different version of the fish-shaped waffles can be ordered a la carte, with fillings ranging from red bean and cream cheese to cheddar cheese. The brand is prepping for even more expansion in San Diego; another location is coming to Westfield UTC, where it’s estimated to open at the beginning of next year.
