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.

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

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.

$6.95 for an upside down ahboong. Got the custard filling + milk flavor + matcha powder. Solid dessert place with fast service.

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!

One of my go to dessert spots! Their dessert is simple but GREAT! There's a couple different options for flavors & there are new flavors every now & then which is so fun! I love the toppings you can add to your ice cream! My favorite is to get the milk flavored ice cream & add several toppings on it! They're super quick getting your ice cream out, so you're not waiting too long! Highly recommend at least trying!

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

Soft serve - Matcha

Somi Somi is a dessert shop serving soft-serve ice cream in a fish-shaped waffle cone (ah-boong), a Korean street food called taiyaki or boong-uh-bbang, and also offering the waffle itself filled with sweet fillings like custard or red bean. This shop is Located at the Bella Terra shopping center in Huntington Beach, CA. There is plenty of parking out front. The concept is really cute and the menu very simple. I tried the Matcha soft serve which was really creamy and not too sweet. And i had 2 Taiyakis. 1 with Nutella and 1 with Custard. The Taiyaki is served warm off the waffle press. It is slightly crunchy and the delicious filling oozes out when you bite into it. Everything was delicious. The service is good and friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I got 2 Taiyakis and 1 cup of soft serve ice cream. My bill was just under $10. I think that this is a really fun concept for kids. I recommend trying Somi Somi.

Banana pudding ice cream with Nutella filled upside down ahboong goodness

Took my family here after lunch and it was a hit! The Nutella filled upside down ahboong is a must try. Something about the waffle cone with Nutella inside and smooth custard ice cream just works. We happened to get there between rushes on a Saturday around 2pm. Nearby seating outside and pretty large inside, bigger than the one in West LA on Sawtelle. Service was fast and pleasant, they gave my brother a taste of the chocolate milk swirl too!

YUM! cheers to being a kid again. I stood in line torn between matcha and ube, and BAM, just like that, my wishes came true when below the options presented itself of the two swirled together-- sold.

This location is located at Bella Terra amidst the "food court" area by the movie theater. I stopped here for some dessert after having lunch nearby. There was one cheerful young woman working when I walked in. A large group had arrived just before me and she was really hustling to get their order made. Everything is made to order. She apologized that it took her a couple minutes to get to me but I actually was impressed with how quickly I was helped, considering the number of orders she was single-handedly making before mine. I ordered two taiyaki - those fish-shaped waffles with delicious fillings. I chose Nutella and custard to fill mine. There are counters you can stand at inside the shop but it was a beautiful day so I sat outside at one of the many courtyard tables. I started with a plump one which was crammed full of Nutella. It was piping hot so I had to let it cool a bit before devouring it, a few blobs of Nutella dribbling down my chin. The other was filled with plenty of custard, mildly sweet and satisfying. The waffles with the fish imprints were perfectly made, slightly crisp and tasty. They also fill the fish waffles with soft serve ice cream, like a waffle cone, which is something I'll definitely try next time.

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!… Read more

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

We attended an event where Polar Playground was there. My kids along with every kid there (also…read moreincluding tons of adults) were excited to try their cotton candy creations. The 2 staff members were friendly, fast and made the event so fun. They had a list of options to choose from, but also would make something by request too. They let you customize what colors you wanted and the details of their creatures were top notch. Not only were the cotton candy creations amazing to look at, but they also were delicious tasting too! I highly recommend them for an event especially a kid's birthday party.

The highlight was definitely their cotton candy creations -- they are sooooo creative! The staff can turn cotton candy into adorable character designs, and the kids were amazed. Any color a child can think of, they can make it happen It's a super unique treat and perfect for making a special day feel extra memorable. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to add something fun and magical to a celebration. One small suggestion: the space itself is a bit on the smaller side, so it may be challenging to host larger birthday parties. It would be even more amazing if the location were in a bigger mall, busy plaza, or kids' playground area that could better accommodate group celebrations. Overall, the kids loved it, the experience was joyful, and the cotton candy art alone makes it worth the visit!

My son has been raving about Stella Jean's ice cream for awhile now and I finally got a chance to…read morego try it myself and it did not disappoint! I'm Filipino and was tickled to hear about the flavors...Ube Pandesal Toffee, Banana Turon Crunch & Mango Sticky Rice. We tried the Ube Pandesal Toffee and I'm quite amazed how they were able to capture that unique flavor. 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!
