YUM! I love ube and ice cream... and this spot has one of the best soft serve ube evaaa!! The service I received here on 4/27 in the late evening was amazing. The kind female employee answered my questions and helped me with recommendations. Very clean and tidy place. My family and I enjoyed you Somisomi! :-)

So happy we got to try somi somi. It is very yummy. The fish waffle is the star of the show. You can even get a custard filling and sprinkles. Such a nice treat. Service was a bit slow because there was only one person working. But she was great.

Cookies & cream & Ube swirl
Tina T.

Came here with some friends. If you're a fan of soft serve, you would probably like this place. It's soft serve with unique flavors. They also have swirl flavors so I tried the Cookies & cream and Ube swirl. Personally, not a fan of the two together. They do give you free toppings so I did the Oreo crumbs and Biscoff crumbs. They also serve warm made to order "fish bread" and you can pick fillings for it such as custard. They were crowded on a Saturday night but the line went by fast!

Great and unique ice cream flavors, they offer three different swirls every week! My favorite is the upside-down ahboong with Nutella inside. Matcha custard and black sesame filling aren't great. You can also opt to add fruit and other unique toppings (biscoff crumble) No seating inside, but it's Bella terra so you'll find other seating.

Got the Upside down ahboong (matcha custard and nutella) and cookies and cream soft serve. It was okay, nothing special. Inside the mall so lots of seating around the area.

This definitely isn't the first time I've been to a Somisomi but the consistency in quality and service deserves a review. This location in particular is very convenient if you're at Bella Tera shopping, seeing a movie, or grabbing something after a meal. In reality, I think it would be difficult getting a better sweet treat anywhere else in the immediate area. Although they had a large number of customers, we were in and out in under 10 minutes from the time we ordered to finishing our items. The staff were friendly and informative which is very helpful due to the unique number of combinations you can get. The ice cream is so creamy and smooth, with great flavor on its own but even better with the complimentary toppings they give you right before you get your order. Don't sleep on the strawberry milks either, which are also made to order. Every time I'm near one I always get the strawberry matcha because it's that good. It's also a great vibe because they make everything right infront of you. Nothing is better than seeing a hot taiyaki getting pulled right out of the mold and knowing it's for your order. It's also very fun to eat if you're entertaining young children. This is something you need to have at-least once but I'm confident you'll be back.

It's so cool that SomiSomi has become popular culture. I used to live in San Diego, where I felt it was in a predominantly Asian area but this one is in Bella Terra and has become mainstream! I absolutely love it and there's usually a bit of a line but it always moves fast. While it has some classic Asian flavors, there's always a basic flavor for those not as adventurous (chocolate / cookies and cream). They have a flavor that usually alternates too. I love matcha and black sesame!!! I love the fish waffle and some people come in just for that but since I'm gluten free now, i come in for the smells of the waffle (it's sweet and you can pick a different custard) and the soft serve. It's super creamy and so yum!! Tryyyyy it

Tania C.

My favorite dessert place of ALL time!! I always get the upside down with the taiyaki; the nutella is always my go-to with the 1/2 and 1/2 swirl of whatever the special is for the day! I love that they make the taiyaki fresh so it's always a warm and crispy and filled with soft serve and my choice of filling. One of my favorite flavors is the matcha for the soft serve. It's always fast service although the line can get long and busy so it can take a while to make it to the front of the line. The employees are always friendly which makes you feel welcomed, specially with how busy they are! Great location with tons of parking and things to do near by since it's located in a shopping open-air mall!

1. The ice cream is delicious with a good creamy density! They have good toppings! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is small! 3. There are some indoor counters and outdoor seatings! There are a lot of tables to sit outside! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in about 5 mins! 5. Parking lot and Garage are available! They are free!

**August 2025: Sunday Night Visit** What?! I haven't reviewed SomiSomi?! Gagzooks! I've been here on a number of occasions, but my friend who is a HB local had never been so I decided to take him to try it out. We went on a Sunday evening and there was a line out the door (though after we got out dessert that line doubled in length - nevertheless, they're pretty quick so I wouldn't be scared by the lines). I usually get their Taiyaki's which are hot fish shaped treats that have a filling of your choice. I usually get custard, Nutella or Oreo but honestly I think you it just depends on your mood. On my most recent visit though I decided to get a soft serve, which also includes toppings of your choice. I picked a matcha/oreo swirl and got matcha and oreo crumbs as the toppings. It's not too sweet and for a cold asian treat that's the highest praise you can get! Enjoy!

Upside down with cookies and cream soft serve and custard filling
Steven N.

Upside down with cookies and cream soft serve and custard filling - not much custard filling - slightly crispy - cookies and cream is very chocolatey

Hieu H.

Been here multiple times with family and friends but decided to come in this time to try out their new limited Sakura flavor! They honestly should just keep that flavor because it was really good! And as always the environment is always happy and positive due to it being in Bella Terra. Overall a 10/10.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the creamy soft serve, unique and rotating flavors, and friendly fast service. The shop is clean and well-maintained.

Do any of the ice cream flavors provide lactose free options?

Hi Marton, All of our ice cream flavors are lactose free, with the exception of one (Milk). We hope to see you soon! Thank you for asking.

Can we call and order taiyaki over the phone and pick up inside?

Hi Miah! thank you for your question. At the current moment we do not take any phone call orders, but rest assured your orders will be made fresh and efficiently when you order in person, in store! Thank you!… 

Is this place open yet?

Grand Opening weekend 6/26 - 6/28! Buy 1 Ah-boong and get 1 free taiyaki! Thank you.

Would probably be good to update the menus or at least include a sign on it that they don't serve alcohol? The fried chicken came plain and were soo crispy! I'm glad the sauces came on the side because we were not a huge fan of them. The sweet garlic somehow tasted like chocolate. Both were pretty thick and sweet. The tteokbokki and kimchi fried rice were so flavorful and kimbap was solid too. The portions were bigger than we expected!

I visited on a Sunday around noon, and there were only three tables seated. One before, my table, and one table after me. The server seemed the most attentive to the first table. It took a while for us to place our order, and the server forgot my table's banchan until I requested partially through my meal. By then, the eggs were a moot point since our tofu stews were cooked and wouldn't cook the eggs, which was a bummer. Both of the other tables received their banchans as entrees were served. When waiting to close our tab, it also took us some time to get checked out. My group walked up to the resister after waiting at our table for a while and still had to wait an additional amount of time before we were able to pay. Perhaps the restaurant was short staffed during my visit? Perhaps the server was new to the role? I think Bon would be a great lunch space with its cozy atmosphere and easy parking options if some adjustments were made to better equalize and streamline the customer experience. My group personally felt overlooked during our meal, and that detracted from the overall experience.

I have been looking for a Thai restaurant that makes Pad Prik King just like how I used to have it when I was a kid and this place is PERFECT. The sauce is decadent and not gritty at all, just the right amount of spice and the green beans are cooked perfectly! Additionally, we tried the mango sticky rice for dessert. It was probably the best mango sticky rice I had ever had, the mango was ripened to perfection and they have ample coconut sauce, which most places don't give enough! We even came back a second time in one week and got the tom kha soup with chicken. Again, flavors were totally on point. Lastly, their prices are SO REASONABLE and the portion sizes are great.

The customer service is excellent here. Our rice got cold, they noticed, and offered to reheat it for us. Our order was quickly taken and prep began, the place began to fill with the aroma of barbecue chicken. When the food arrived it was plenty for the two of us and then some. The portion here are big for what you pay. The pricing for food is below what you'd expect to pay at the beach. For the food- The interesting concept of corn dogs with an Asian twist was what originally grabbed our attention, so we tried the classic Korean corn dog. You can add sugar or not on this one, it comes with ketchup and mustard. We also had the orange chicken which was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with an orange marmalade flavored sauce, topped with sesame seeds. We also had the barbecue chicken. Both entrees came with a side of rice. For me the orange chicken was a hit! The corn dog was a nice addition because it didn't taste like an American corn dog. The breading had a different flavor and was crunchy on the outside. Not bad for just a quick bite to eat while riding around Huntington! Give them a try, the kids will love the Korean corn dogs!

Feels like a summer melt in my mouth…read more Everything was so fresh, unique and well-seasoned. Such a sunshine treat to my palate. We ordered 4 dishes: Summer rolls: Beautifully made. The crispy tempura shrimp paired really well with the salad, especially purple cabbage. Tangy sweet and sour sauce was a nice touch. Octopus fried rice: This one got me on chokehold. Never really try anything like this before. If I have to describe this in one phrase, I would say bursting with flavor. I love how the rice is super fluffy and the octopus is chewy but tender at the same time. But I do think its sauce made all the different. Can come back just for this one alone. Ceviche on bánh phồng tôm: This one is super random but it's the kind that made your day. I got to talk to the owner and she told me the story about how she built her recipes from scratch and her time learning cooking in Japan, so she invited me to try this ceviche. I'd say it tastes like a savory ice cream. The buttery avocado complements the tuna, carrot and cucumber like a match made from heaven. But I don't think this dish is on the menu haha. Prawn on mango salad: Really unique take on mango salad as it's not heavy on seasoning at all; but still full of flavors and fragrances. It has cassava, apple, mango, carrot and mint tossed well in some kind of sweet fish sauce. Prawns are huuuge!! Big plus. Place has a warm and rustic ambiance with wooden accent. Big bar wrapped around and also has a boba place next to it. Lots of parking and seatings so really family friendly. My server Jennie was kind and energetic!
