This may be my favorite dessert spot in the city - I think the mochi donuts are a light dessert that are always rotating fun and interesting flavors. They also have corn dogs and drinks - I've had one of their (I believe) Korean style corn dogs once and it was good and I definitely will come back to have more flavors / next time I'm craving a Korean corn dog. But what really brings me back to this cute space with kind staff is keeping an eye out on the new, inventive flavors they keep coming up with. Sorry to other Mochinuts, but these are the best flavors (and execution) I've seen compared to any other Mochinut. Also I've talked to the owner while ordering and she is so sweet and kind. read more

I absolutely love mochi-donuts! The texture is always so soft and pillowy. I also love how you're able to pull off 1 bite at a time. I tried the Dorito-crusted beef corndog with spicy mayo. The hotdog was HUGE and the Doritos were surprisingly still crunchy. There was a lot of sauce on the dog, so it was difficult to eat it in 1 sitting because it was so rich. The flavor however was very good. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I also love that this location has a 15min parking w/hazard lights zone directly in front of it. It makes it incredibly easy to pull over, run in, and grab your food. I will return! #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad read more

Love everything about Mochinut! This shop has been on my radar for awhile, and I finally had the chance to try their innovative menu at a recent popup event. The staff was super friendly and patient, and there were so many unique flavors of the viral Japanese donut that it was hard not to buy one of each! I opted for the blueberry lemon, and it's the best mochi donut I've had in Chicago. Although slightly chewy as expected, it had all the light airiness of a traditional raised donut and was the perfect sweetness. The blueberry frosting balanced very well with the lemon and the donut was very fresh. Can't recommend enough, and I'm looking forward to paying the shop a visit soon! read more

I ordered the half hot dog and half cheese corn dog. The cashier was very nice and took my order. The corn dog took a bit longer to receive but it was still nice and hot. There was a lot of hot cheetos dust on mine and I really liked that. The place had a really fun and unique style with a lot of colorful designs. read more

Finally made it to Mochinut's newest location in Lincoln Park. The moment you walk in you it gives you a happy feeling. Love the bright colors and flowers murals on the wall and the happy faces of the staff. I had pre ordered a dozen donuts for Super Bowl and they were ready for me when I went to pick them up. The donuts looked and tasted amazing. While at the store we also tried the Thai tea and Korean Rice hot dog . The Thai tea was flavorful and refreshing. The hot dogs were amazing , we tried the potatoes and hot Cheetos one and enjoyed them both. They have a nice selection of mochi donuts, and I love that they are so light, fluffy and not overly sweet. Some of the mochinut flavors we tried were Churro, Ube, and Chocolate . Each of them was a 10/10 for me. Can't wait to go back and try the other flavors soon. read more

Cute little spot with very friendly employees! I ordered an ube donut, 1/2 hotdog + 1/2 cheese potato corndog, and 1/2 matcha + 1/2 milk tea boba. I loved that I could really taste the ube flavor of the donut! As for the corndog, I was expecting cheese to be surrounding the hotdog. Instead, the first half of the corndog was cheese and the second half was a hotdog. Nonetheless it tasted great. The potatoes on the outside were nice and crispy! I enjoyed my drink and the boba itself had the perfect consistency of chewyness and softness. I do wish there was a way to change the sugar level of the drink. The flavors are premade mixes so you can't change its contents. I also found it odd that they put ice cubes in their boba drinks. I've been to a lot of boba places throughout the country and this is the first time I've ever had ice in my cup. I feel like it just took up unnecessary space in the cup and I would have rather had more to drink. read more

Cute little joint sells mochi donuts, bubble tea and Korean corn dogs. They have all the donuts on display which really draws you in! It's easy to order a whole box to take home and the way the donuts are shaped also makes it easy to share. The bubble tea offerings aren't as customizable as your more typical joints (aka, decreasing the sugar content) so it's not a place I'd come to just for tea. Didn't try the corn dogs but others around me seemed to enjoy. There's only street parking which can be a little tricky depending on when you come. Overall cute place to try and fill a mochi donut craving. Check their website for the donut flavors since they rotate year round! read more

First time stopping in today. Greeted by staff right away. Very nice. For three donuts (vanilla gaze, matcha, and caramel funnel cake). Delicious! Was about $11 when all was said and done (including tax and tip). I'll definitely go back and plan to "dine " next time (and try their boba tea!). read more

Fun flavors and cute packaging. Donuts were fresh and good. Looked for a bit chewier texture and more donut in general for about $4 per donut and you can only order a minimum of 3 when you do DoorDash. The strawberry donut was a bit lacking von flavor w a tiny bit of confectioners sugar and little pieces of dried strawberries. I wished there were icing on it. Otherwise a good mochi donut experience. We had lychee, black sesame, and strawberry. read more

I had my first mochi doughnut back during my honeymoon in Hawaii, a trip full of great and amazing food I just couldn't easily find in the mainland. Aloha Eats covers much of my cravings, I still can't find an authentic poke bowl, I assume shaved ice wouldn't do too well in Chicago, and I couldn't find a good mochi doughnut. I had one from an independent baker and discovered just how easy it is to mess them up - done wrong and they're just too chewy and flavorless. They're getting popular in many places now. It's just fun to separate them into little sweet balls, and their flavors are often Asian inspired which definitely calls out to me. Enter Mochinut, a California based franchise with a few spots that have opened up here in Chicago - this one is the newest. We didn't get to try the Korean hot dogs since we came from lunch, but we had to try some doughnuts. Apparently their flavors rotate weekly, but we got to try cookies & creme, chocolate churro, and matcha (at my wife's insistence). I was surprised with the depth of the flavors here, I was expecting just sweet sweet sweet (or in the case of matcha, too much of that grassy note). Instead it was just the right amount of cinnamon on the churro, and nice chocolatey bits in the cookies & creme. Texture-wise they didn't disappoint, definitely not having the toughness I found in the doughnut from that other baker. They had a good bite to them and satisfyingly poppable. Will definitely need to come back to try out their Korean hot dogs and other flavors. Very cool addition to the area! read more

visited on the grand opening day! i got the ube fluff and cookies & cream mochinuts but i got to try other flavors like tiramisu and caramel funnel cake thanks to my friends. my husband got the ube boba tea so i got a sip of that as well. ube fluff (4/5): basically ube flavored marshmallow glaze, probs my favorite one of the day! cookies & cream (4/5): also good, pretty standard cookies and cream flavor. caramel funnel cake (3/5): could taste the funnel cake but not the caramel. tiramisu (4/5): actually tasted like tiramisu! ube boba tea (4.5/5): this was so good. strong ube taste. the tapioca balls had good texture but they were bland. i would get this again without the tapioca. overall, the mochinut texture was way better than the UIC location so i enjoyed all of the mochinuts regardless of the different flavors. the workers were also all very friendly. however, i do want to point out an incident that i hope doesn't happen moving forward. i didn't say anything at the time because there was a line but a customer before us had ordered a raspberry mochinut but was given an ube fluff instead. he later brought it back to the cashier who then put that ube fluff to the side and got him the raspberry. since i was after him and ordered the ube fluff, i ended up getting the one he accidentally got. my husband told me that it looked like he never opened it which is fine but moving forward i hope the workers don't re-hand out an item another customer could've potentially touched...for sanitary reasons. the cashier hadn't even confirmed the customer if it was opened or not. seating wise, they have some at the front and some at the back. maybe could fit 15-20 people total? read more

Already feeling happy once I step inside. Walls are decorated with beautiful bright colors. These donuts are aesthetically presented and are so good and addicted. They are light and airy but most importantly not too sweet, chewy on the outside yet very moist and flavorful. You wont stop at 1! Staffs are amazing people! Would definitely come back more often for these sweet fun treats! read more

After seeing a bunch of foodies go to their soft launch, I was highly influenced to check them out myself. The service is amazing however I was somewhat underwhelmed with their donuts. I got the orange cranberry and although the dough was nice and bouncy, the sugar glaze on top was not fun to eat. It felt like eating taffy that gets stuck in your teeth. Also lacking any sort of orange or cranberry flavor. Maybe I came on an off day or got the wrong flavor but not sure it's worth it for me to make another trip out. read more

I think the corn dogs are good but the mochinuts are overly hyped! I bought a turtle cheesecake mochinut and it was extremely soggy, overly sweetened and not very good at all. I had to change my rating to three stars because of that; I want to give nothing but my honest reviews and not exaggerate the hype. read more

Had multiple flavors and customer service was pretty good. The donut is pretty filling so I would only get one. I also got a brown sugar bubble tea that was pretty good but there's not much liquid in it because they put a lot of ice. Also, the price is a little expensive, but would recommend. Ambiance is very colorful. read more

Came here today and it is so cute! Got the matcha boba and the potato dog half and half. The wait for these two items was pretty long (15 minutes) it seems like a grab and go, but maybe they are just adjusting to opening. The matcha is good, a little too sweet, but I'm sure you could get it less sweet. The potato dog is fantastic!! The perfect level of crispiness and the cheese pull is soooo good! Also got a side of spicy mayo! I need to come back and try a donut! read more

Ahh! This used to be Philly Bros., remember that? This is the fourth location in the state and the second location here. Had the Mozzarella Corn Dog with some Chipotle sauce and the Ube Milk Tea. The dog was superb but the milk tea was too sweet. I haven't been to the others so this is my first time, ahh! Staff and service is Mochitastic! With the teas you can't alter the sweetness. So it's fixed. PS. There going to open four locations in the Chicago Area next year. read more

I know there are multiple Mochinut location in Illinois, but this is the BEST ONE! The owner is a perfectionist and does not skimp on the quality. This is the only location that adds yuzu slices on their yuzu mochi donut. They're also the only one that uses freeze dried strawberries for their strawberry shortcake mochi donut. They had their soft opening this past Friday and we've been back every single day. Definitely a great addition to Lincoln Park. read more

Pretty solid! You can get 3 mochi donuts for $10.00 or one for $3.75. Not a terrible deal, but not cheap. Definitely more than you'd pay for most wheat donuts. I probably couldn't justify getting Mochinut more than every once in a while. It's something to eat for fun. I had their seasonal minty shamrock flavor and it was good. I liked the texture of the icing and that they had many flavors available. My friend got a Matcha boba for $6 and thought it was solid. I don't think either of us were blown away, but I think their main selling point is the novelty, and they deliver on that. The donut was chewy and tasty. The folks were nice and it was relatively fast. The store's not huge and neither is the staff, so there's a chance you'd need to wait in line if lots of people come in at the same time as you. The ambiance was cool. The store is very small and quaint; it's cute. There is bright pop art on the walls and the packaging and whole layout of the store is very pleasant and modern. There are tables in the front and along the side. My friends and I enjoyed sitting and chatting here and the time passed by with ease. There is also one bathroom in the back and it's pretty solid too. No real bones to pick. Mochinut delivers exactly what you'd expect. read more

SUCH a great donut!! I'm not a donut person, but these donuts were amazing - the texture, flavors, and taste were seriously amazing. I got the pistachio cranberry, and my boyfriend got the dark chocolate. Note: they have weekly flavors so the ones we got may not be there. But seriously, you cannot go wrong with any of them. The staff member was friendly and explained the concept of mochinut as we had never been to one before. Cool coffee shop vibe that would be great if you're trying to find a place to get some work done too. I will definitely be going back :) read more
