I took my daughter to Mochinut and it was great. We were greeted by a nice lady upon arrival. She told us the flavors available and we dried a few different flavors. We tried the strawberry, ube, glaze, mango, chocolate and the churro one. Everything was really good and not overly sweet. My daughter absolutely loved the ube and strawberry flavors. We'll definitely be back and I recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. read more

I was excited to find out they opened a Mochinut close to home ! I stopped by on an afternoon and it was empty . The cashier didn't have the friendliest customer service and just took my order . The selection is limited but my favorite is the churro mochi! Which was delicious! I will return mainly because of the churro mochidonut that I love not for the service specifically . read more

I've been to the Mochinut in UTC, so I was happy to see this location pop up in the neighborhood. I ordered a box of 6 which was around $18. That makes it $3/donut, so definitely not your average donut. I was excited to see they had ube flavored donuts on my visit - I was prepared to order 2 of them. Unfortunately, when I got to the register, they informed me they had all flavors except ube. What a buzzkill. This forced me to pick a flavor which I wouldn't have normally picked - mango. It turned out to be my favorite of the assortment - mango = 5/5 cookies and cream = 4/5 original = 4/5 churro = 3/5 strawberry = 5/5 funnel cake = 3/5 read more

Mochinut Chula Vista - Box of 6: funnel cake, strawberry, mango, churro, original, cookies and cream - Donuts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Definitely a dessert that's on trend right now, it's great that it opened up in Chula Vista! Think donuts with the chewiness of mochi. I believe the flavors change weekly, but honestly, i dont think the each unique flavor is all the powerful.. they all taste the same to me. Lol. Anyways, you order at the counter and the wait really depends. One visit was busy and we waited about 15 mins. Our second visit was quick and our donuts were ready right away. A unique, sweet dessert worth checking out read more

Delicious! Every flavor we tried was great because the base mochinut is so well made, anything seems to be good on top. I will say ube was our least favorite of the three flavors. Churro may have been my favorite. I give 4 stars because of the price. At $3 a piece it's a little steep. Yes they are both delicious and a novelty but that's at least double the price of most traditional donuts. Mochinuts have a more chewy texture than the soft fluffiness of a traditional donut. I find the extra chews they require extremely satisfying! They are so tasty they are absolutely worth a try, but as for buying to eat on a consistent basis or to bring a box to a gathering they're just a touch out of my desired price range. For their price point I also wasn't very impressed with the atmosphere of their shop. It's quite plain with no decor and nothing in the store other than the ordering counter. They are extremely new so I'm hoping their storefront is simply a work in progress! read more

Mochinut Chula Vista - Box of three Mochinuts - Donuts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

My fam is happy to have a local mochi donut establishment just down the street. And a Mochinut at that! My hubby and tween were supposed to come home with some boba smoothies, but it seems they noticed Mochinut a couple doors down so they came home with some of these babies instead. And I wasn't disappointed! I love the structure of a mochi donut, easily pulled apart. I was able to sample a little bit of each - churro, strawberry funnel, and peach. They were all good - soft and chewy with the right amount of sweetness. I especially liked the churro variety with its cinnamon, sugary goodness! If you've never tried these, stop in and give them a try. Just be sure enjoy them fresh - they're not great a day old. We'll def be back! Welcome to the neighborhood, Mochinut! read more

My first time trying Mochinut and I thought it was great! My daughter and I are big fans of boba and teas like the ones they make here. I'm really glad this place is close to our home so we can become regulars here. We tried the Matcha, Strawberry Funnel and Original Mochi Donuts, for drinks we tried the Thai Tiger Tea and Strawberry Matcha Latte, both were very good and refreshing, the donuts were moist and fluffy. We will be returning to try more flavors! read more

The mochinut donuts are good but something is off at this location. The Korean hot dogs are only available at certain times and maybe even days? The last three times that I have tried to get them, they told me it wasn't available at this time. Not too long after just opening, I asked for a flavor that was on the display board and they told me they didn't have it. I had to ask well, are you making more? I got a "yes". How much longer? "5 minutes". Can I wait? "Sure". It was just an awkward encounter. Anyways.... The floor was really sticky and in need of a mopping. They do have some help wanted signs on the door and inside so I am sure they are short staffed but mopping the floor by the entrance is not optional. read more

Ok first off. Let's start by the cuteness of this place! Super friendly staff, great display of their selection. Having gone to Japan and discovering these donuts while abroad I never even knew these had made their way stateside. The price is ok if you buy more, definitely pricier than regular donuts but so worth it. I will add in Japan these cost the equivalent of a dollar for a plain one, just for reference. They offer military discount which is a plus. It's not super crazy busy like some new establishments which is nice, I hit them up on national donut day since every other place was sold out and I'm glad I did! Little gem right here! read more

Is it unique? Kind of. Is it special? Eh... Is it different? Ehhh... Is it good? Yes. Is it a different shape donut? Kind of I guess. Is it worth the price? Umm No. It was good, but it was just okay. The price is not justifiable to me. I rather spent $15 somewhere else and get 14 traditional donuts. Listen, when my kids say, "Let's go to (other place) instead." You know that means something. I will say that the Churro Mochinut is my favorite. The other thing is that I brought my kids with me and they had music playing, which was cool.... The only problem is that the music was taking about get smashed, getting licked, and other adult things. I didn't really appreciate that. Customer Service was great though. This place only had 8 flavors this day and I get it the place is a smaller spot so the area is limited. All good. Will I be coming back? Umm No. I'm good. It was cool to try though. read more

I visited this place earlier this week and tried the Original, Ube, and Mango flavors. I then came back because they were really good and I craved more. I went back in search of the Ube and Mango flavors, but their flavors had changed within days and so I ended up trying three new flavors: Matcha, Pocky Berry, and Churro. There is normally one person at the front of the store. The flavors of mochinut are on display at the front and, above the counter, there are large TVs displaying the Korean hot dog options they serve and their assortment of drinks. Ordering is pretty straightforward, although their card reader looks a little strange. If you have a tap card, you can hold it right on top of the machine. The two times I've been there, I've only seen one person working so I wonder if that's all they ever have. There are little tables to sit at and wait for your order to be completed or to eat. If you order a Korean dog, you have to wait because those are made to order (the wait is not very long.) If you order mochinuts, they box and serve them right there like any other bakery. On the mochinuts: The consistency is really delightful -- chewy and light, without any of the density I normally connect with my least favorite donuts -- and I love how easy it is to pull the mochinut apart into pieces to split with others. This makes it really easy to try different flavors with other people. My mom wishes they incorporated more of the flavors into the dough itself (right now the base seems to be the same for all mochinuts with the only difference being their glaze on top), but I actually enjoy the simple chewy dough with the flavor separated on top. It makes the flavors not overwhelming like a lot of specialty desserts can end up being. I'd rank the flavors I've tried as follows: 1. Ube - I am always a fan of ube. I consider it always a safe option and the ube mochinut did not fail to deliver. 2. Original - Chewy goodness with simple and pleasant flavors. 3. Mango - Pleasantly fruity flavor. The topping is a little stickier than the others so be careful when pulling this one apart. 4. Pocky Berry - Similar in fruitiness and texture to the Mango, sweet 5. Churro - Pretty much just your basic cinnamon and sugar coating. If you like churros then you'll probably like this. 6. Matcha - I'm not a fan of matcha so I can't say this is a bad mochinut, it's just not my preference. All of them had that perfect texture and felt so good to eat! read more

Came in today! I've tried other mochi donuts before. Mochinut was good. Some textures were more regular donut like then mochi. The pricing menu wasn't working today so that was kind of irritating. Also $30 for a dozen donuts was kind a steep compared to getting a regular dozen donuts at dunkin and/or elsewhere. I did enjoy the mango flavor! The kids enjoyed them too. read more

Try this donut shop! We have been walking past this donut shop for months and FINALLY decided it was time. Why? Because we love donuts. Now this isn't your ordinary donut shop, they don't have a big ridiculous selection of jelly filled sugar topped donuts but what they do have is a lighter, smaller delicate and very tasty donut. Made with rice flour it gives the donut a chewier texture that we found enjoyable. And look at the beautiful box they pack them in makes a beautiful gift! Try this this place you won't be disappointed. And the service was excellent! read more

Ok, as promised, we came back to this location in hopeful expectation that it would be way better than when they first opened... and I was pleasantly surprised!!! The donuts were soooo good! We ordered a dozen so we tried every flavor they had that day. And the quality was *chef's kiss* just like the location at Convoy. We will def be back. We even tried their boba and it was delish! The place looked neater and didn't have that weird smell anymore. But there is a lot of unsightly boxes shoved near the back. Maybe a curtain could fix that? Idk The service was slow, but the one at the till was obviously being trained that day, so totes understandable. And they were very polite so it made the wait more tolerable! read more

Definitely not your typical donut, and most definitely worth trying, if you like mochi and that soft, chewy texture. Place is new, clean kind of small. The only thing I didn't like was not being able to by 1 or 2. They come in a pack of 3, 6, and 12. But they are definitely yummy and a must try! read more

My review of this place is long overdue already, I just remembered to review it when we passed by again to visit our friend who lives nearby. My wife and I got some Mochinut here last Oct. 20, 2022, for our friend we are visiting. My wife noticed that there was a lot of Mochinut out there. We always buy our Mochinut in Convoy and they are very good and very soft, you can tell they are always freshly made. Here they are good but not as soft as the ones in the Convoy branch. Maybe they should not cook a lot of Mochinut here so it won't be left out there to harden if there are not many customers. read more

This place is fairly new and I've never had a mochi anything that I've ever liked but I figured let's give it a try!! Ok let me talk about the good stuff first...the product itself was actually pretty tasty...I got 3 mochinuts (original, cotton candy, strawberry) my favorite of the 3 was the strawberry, 2nd was original and last was the cotton candy. The mochinuts are light and airy so different than a donut. Food wise it was great...now the bad. As soon as I opened the door and walked in there was a awful smell like sewer back up or a sewer leak somewhere...it was very off putting to the point that I should've maybe turned around and walked out but for some reason I didn't. There were 2 staff, 1 was sitting at a table fiddling on her cell phone which ok I get it there were no customers inside so she was probably bored but the guy in the back was busting butt off! I only wanted to purchase 1 donut but that's not allowed...you must buy mochinuts in 3s, 6 or 12...luckily all 3 were pretty good but it was 3 for 10, I can buy a dozen donuts for that amount. Honestly I'm not sure if I'd go back. read more

I was the only customer. Looked at the mochi-donuts. They looked a bit stale/ like they have been sitting out for a while. Not the quality I would've expected. The taste, however was good. I got an ube donut. The icing was not pretty (I've gotten same product from other places and they don't look so bad). Loved the taste. Nice cashier. Will likely continue getting my mochi fix elsewhere considering cost is about the same. read more

This is a new location and I'm glad to see they offer everything on the menu. We didn't get the corn dogs because we were going to have dinner soon. The drink was great. I got the u e latte which I wish they would stir in more of the Ube into drink instead of the Ube just being a cold foam on the top. Basically it was Vietnamese iced coffee with u e cold foam. Not bad but I would prefer more of the Ube flavor as I drank it. That is why it got 4 stars. I will come back to try the corn dogs. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I can say for sure the donuts are really tasty. Price for a donut is about $3 each. The biggest drawback for this place is that they have certain selections from there menu. When we came here there was about 6 to choose from out of all the others selections they offer over all. Lady in the counter said they rotate the flavors 2 days of the week and it is determined only the day of. So if I wanted to try their pistachio flavor, I would have to pray they they would have it available? Overall 3 stars for how great the donuts tasted, but probably would go somewhere else if I wanted mochi donuts. read more

There was a bit of a line today (soft opening) at opening time so I'd probably wait for the hype to die out a bit before returning. I'd say the dough is comparable to any other good donut with the bonus of having uncommon glazes and of course that they look prettier so they can make a bigger statement as a gift or at an event. I also liked that they're easy to pull apart for sharing if, like me, you want to try every flavor without eating the whole box read more

Tonight me and my family had our cravings for sweets, so naturally we came to mochinut. However upon arrival I was disappointed to see there were no donuts in sight and a worker saying there will be a 30 min wait for more donuts. At this point I was disappointed but after asking the worker the cause of the setback. He thoroughly explained their situation and just like he said, I came back in 30 minutes to fresh donuts and no problems with the transaction. Although my family and I didnt expect to wait 30min I cant deny the quality of their customer service and find it funny how other people seem to forget that things like this happen. And no you cant compare Handels and Mochinut, of course they are going to have icecream in stock, it's frozen. read more

So I've probably only wrote 2 reviews in my life time, but this I had to. I've had Mocinuts recently at a party and it was so-so but again we didn't know how old it was bought before the party. Today I went there to try them fresh and it literally tasted the same! Old AF. Flavor is pretty bland and the texture tasted like an old Dunkin' Donuts that was left old a day and a half. So just expressing how trash they are and downgrading the Moci community. Wish their investors and owners would under cover boss them and try their own donuts they are selling to the community. Shame. ‍ read more

I am new to Mochinut and decided to check it out. The person standing at the register seemed a little disinterested in helping me or answering any of my questions. The store was big, the selection and availability were tiny. There wasn't anyone else in the store. I then asked the employee for 2 of the doughnuts. She promptly responded that I would need to purchase 3 for $10. I couldn't purchase less than three. So I thanked her and drove up the street to Dunkin' doughnuts. Less expensive and I could purchase 2 doughnuts. I wasn't too impressed with the small selection of doughnuts, and for the price and minimum purchase it's just not worth it. read more
