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

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! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Earl Grey Soft Serve

**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 - 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.

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.

I saw the line out the door and thought it must be good especially since they have other locations in Southern California. I tried their 4 scoop sampler with the non dairy coffee ice cream, butter pecan, mocha almond fudge and strawberry cheesecake. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because the mocha almond fudge was good, creamy, chocolatey with a smooth consistency. The staff were super friendly and the place was clean, like spotless. That's where the positives end. The non dairy coffee scoop tasted like the just froze some old coffee, it was bitter and I spit it out. The strawberry cheesecake had weird squares of what I assume was supposed to be cheesecake but tasted more like a gummy with artificial flavoring, those two scoops were thrown out. The butter pecan I finished but it was too sweet, something I'd never thought I'd say, and it melted almost immediately in the 80+ degree heat into sugar water with a piece of pecan in it. As mentioned before the mocha almond fudge was pretty good, perhaps people get that flavor and that's why the line was out the door. I saw some people get shakes so maybe those are better, but I won't be coming back to give it a shot. Cold stone, Mr. Softee, Rori's, McDonald's, Dairy Queen, etc etc all offer better ice cream options. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

Honestly, I was too busy eating to verify the name. I ordered a double scoop on a chocolate-dipped cone covered in peanuts. Then, in a stunning display of self-restraint, I ordered another double scoop on a chocolate-dipped cone covered in peanuts. Each one was $12, which sounds expensive until you're standing there holding what is essentially a frozen monument to poor decision-making and happiness. The ice cream was good. Not "I saw God in a waffle cone" good, but genuinely good. Straightforward, tasty, and exactly what I wanted after wandering around Huntington Beach pretending calories don't apply near the ocean. Service was great--friendly, fast, and completely supportive of my quest to consume enough ice cream to alarm a cardiologist. Overall: Good. Would I go back? Absolutely. Mainly because I still don't know the name of the place and need to continue my investigation.

Don't let the lower star reviews fool you, this is an ice cream to try…read more I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did. They must use really good ingredients for their ice cream, doesn't feel like a lot of processed stuff. The ice cream was melting as expected and I didn't feel terrible after eating one by myself. It was just refreshing and joyful. They are located on the southern most side of Pacific City. It's rather tucked away. Once you reach the end of the plaza, go in the building and they are immediately to your left. Staff are friendly. Place is clean. They have a lot of flavors, but sadly you need to buy it to try it. I was disappointed, of course, because some flavors seemed really interesting, but I don't dare try something different if in case I end up not liking enough to regret it. There was another ice cream place up north that had the same policy, but they are so confident about the flavors and quality that they will replace your order completely should you not like it. I don't think this place has that kind of policy, which would discourage me from choosing this place compared to their chain competitor just a block away. Maybe there could be a compromise like, try up to 3 flavors only. That way, I can try three new unique flavors but if I really didn't like them I could still have a great experience with a tried and true favorite. Hope the owner seriously considers this because I think they are great and I want them to thrive! Another great thing about this place is that It isn't a big chain and mass produced. It feels personal and feels very special. I admire people who have such a passion for the craft that they invest in it with time and money, so let's support! Especially when the ice cream is this good.

What can possibly be sweeter than a poem about dessert you ask?…read more Well.... You're just gonna have to read ahead to find out. When you're craving something sweet Then there's no need to look very far, Just hop on over to Huntington Beach And come checkout a place called the Popbar. They have Gelato and Sorbetto on a stick All packed and ready for you to eat, Just pick a flavor, select your topping And prepare yourself for the perfect treat. Dip your Popbar in Milk or Dark Chocolate Go with White chocolate, mint choc. or Caramel, Top with coconut, nuts or even a chili powder And Yes, that is actually a topping that they sell. Now once your delicious Popbar is fully dressed There's absolutely no reason for you to dig deep, Cause at the small starting point of just 5 dollars There's no reason to say their prices are too steep. So the only real question that is left to ask Is which flavor, dipping & topping will you choose, Just don't stress too much about what you pick Whatever you decide, you simply cannot lose. So.... Meet you at the Popbar is H.B. In let's say 15?? I know what I'm gettin!

Talk about a pleasant surprise…read more The fiance and I were meandering about the Wings Wheels and Rotors Expo at the Los Al JFTB. She had never been, and it had been 3 years for me. I wasn't expecting much, and so through my stories she wasn't expecting a whole lot either. The entire event surprised us, but none so much as the variety of food choices that were present! Unfortunately, we had made a quick JITB run before trudging down to the expo, so our stomachs weren't really feeling the $4 hot links or $5 pad thai bowls. The only words that drew us in were 'Italian Ice'. We had no idea what that meant. We've had ice cream, shaved ice, frozen yogurt, and even gelato, but the concept of italian ice was foreign to us. So we nervously shuffled up to the front of the truck, only to be greeted by a girl slinging free samples. I hastily swiped a spoonful from her to give it a taste, and found that it's like a creamy Bomb Pop, and that it's pretty damn good! It's flavorful, it's icy, yet it has a creaminess that you wouldn't find in a snow-cone. I was sold! So I reported my newfound allegiance to my fiance and let her taste the other spoonful on my sample. Her eyes lit up! So now us followers had to narrow it down from the 12 or so flavors listed on the side of the truck. There were at least five flavors we listed as competitors, so you know the menu is spot-on. We finally decided on the Big Daddy, which comprised of all the flavors you'd find in a Big Stick. It was everything we hoped for, and more. The pineapple and cherry were perfectly delicious, and honestly made for a perfect sunny day treat. Our spoons couldn't keep from digging in to this frozen mountain of awesome, and was the best part of our WWRE trek. Mustache Mike's, we've seen what you can do, now we can't wait to try all of those other things you've done!

I grew up with making an "ice cream" sandwich by putting ice cream in a pandesal and tasting this just unleashed a core memory of being young and making an ice cream sandwich that way. We will definitely be back to try the other flavors! When we arrived there was a few people in line and when the line grew a bit, I think it was a manager that stopped what he was doing to jump in and help with customers which I thought was very considerate of him to do. Lastly, the location was charming and tucked away in the corner of the plaza. It had a few tables outside and in the adjacent Pop Pie shop to sit for a few minutes to enjoy the ice cream! It's nice to support a small businesses that cater to the community! Good luck to the Stella Jean family...wishing you success! I'll be back for my Turon & sticky rice!
