We had SUCH a sweet treat at Mochi Nut in Fashion Island! We tried the Dubai Chocolate (wow--amazing!), the Hello Kitty Mochi Nut (so cute and yummy!), and the Original flavor--and honestly, everything was phenomenal. The kids were over the moon with all the flavors, and honestly, so were we! The customer service was super friendly, there was no line, and it was so easy to order. Plus, it's perfectly located in the food court, right in the middle of all the other delicious eateries, which made it super convenient for a family stop. Everything was absolutely delicious, fun, and perfectly sweet. We'll definitely be coming back for another Mochi Nut adventure! read more

Disappointing Experience Due to Staff Attitude I visited the Mocha Nut location at South Coast Plaza last night and was genuinely disappointed by the customer service. The staff member who assisted us was noticeably rude and dismissive, which made the experience uncomfortable from the start. There was no greeting, no basic courtesy, and questions were met with attitude rather than professionalism. In a location like South Coast Plaza--where customers expect a certain level of service--this was surprising and unacceptable. I've been to many cafés and understand that evenings can be busy, but there's no excuse for treating customers with disrespect. I hope management addresses this, as the atmosphere and service matter just as much as the product. read more

Stopped by this mochi doughnut shot after a hearty meal at South Coast Plaza. Service was prompt and friendly. We got the 3 for $10 deal, with original, chocolate and strawberry. The consistency is a bit chewer than regular doughnuts, not really noticeable unless you're really paying attention. Out of the three flavors, the original is still the best, guilty pleasure level of sweetness. Located on the bottom floor under Paradise Dynasty, it is worth a visit if you're looking g for a snack or dessert after any of the awesome eateries around! read more

Came back to try their Korean corn dog and it hit my craving! Came out nice and hot within a few minutes. The only complaint I had was that it was hard to get the ketchup out of the container they gave me so I was tapping it on the table so I can get some lol! read more

I love all types of mochi, and anything and everything that is chewy. :) I always like to stop by Mochinut to pickup a few donuts to go after having a bowl of pho next door. My favorite is the plain cinnamon sugar. I just don't really care for the ones with the glazed frosting on the top, which is too sweet. And super picky about my boba drink so I have not ordered it from here. read more

Mochinut is located inside the Collage near Bloomingdales at South Coast Plaza. My cousin, her kids, and I wanted to split a half dozen but put into 2 boxes. The more you order, the bigger the discount. However, we were informed by the cashier that if we were to do that, a service charge would apply. Oh well. We both ordered a set of 3 mochi donuts separately. I opted for chocolate, matcha, and cinnamon sugar. The mochi donuts were tasty but were not fresh. I've ordered mochi donuts from other vendors where they are freshly fried. That is not the case here as it is a stand and they are stocked by a separate kitchen. They were okay and a quick sugar fix, while at South Coast Plaza. read more

Mochinut - Donuts Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We were eating dinner in the food court at South Coast Plaza and decided to stop for sweets on the way out. There was a Mochinut across the way so we grabbed a few to take home. They had a great selection of flavors! I wanted one of each but we were limited to only 6 for our box. We were helped immediately and had secured the box quickly. The light over the glass display for the booth seemed dim. Not as bright as the other food stalls. It probably would of made the donuts pop more. The cherry was really good. But very sweet. I get it, its like a donut. Maybe I will just get one next time. read more

I normally love this spot, but the female cashier working at 4:50PM on Sunday, September 28th has a bad Gen Z attitude. When I ordered my hot dog and asked for a specific sauce, she would impatiently interrupt me and told me to order my sauce later at the counter. She then asked me to repeat my order again impatiently. I didn't like her attitude at all and I hope a manager will teach her about having a better customer service oriented attitude. Regarding the food quality, Mochinut is always 5/5. This review is solely about the poor customer service I received today. read more

Total pain to find in this mall--it's buried deep inside Bloomingdale's on the bottom floor. It's tucked next to a bunch of small food stalls, and honestly, it was hella hard to locate. Even the Bloomingdale's staff didn't seem to know it existed--I asked, and they looked super confused. That said, the mochi donuts were pretty good. Some flavors are definitely sweeter than others, but I really enjoy the chewy texture. I also love that they switch up the flavors often, so it's not the same thing every day. The day I went, I tried the blueberry açaí, and that one was hands-down the best. I also got churro and ube, but neither was as good as the blueberry. read more

I have not had a mochi donut in a long time. This was a nice way to end a dumpling meal. The donuts were not that fresh though. At least they still had a chewy texture. I'd get this gain for my niece if she wants to try other flavors next time. read more

Tried their Korean hot cheeto corn dog and while there is no cheese stretch, it is still pretty tasty.

Very decorative box lots of flavors to choose from. I would describe it as 90% donut 10% mochi texture. I belive it's $4 for 1 and 3 for $9. Its on the basement underground level of the culinary food court area. It's easy to share and rip these since it has the circular balls indent read more

The girl that helped me was so kind and helpful. However, I feel like the order I got wasn't as savory as I imagined it would be. Idk... it was a cheese and potato "cheese dog" ? But it had sugar on it.. and then I was given a sweet chili sauce with it.. it would have been better if the batch had no sugar and I was given marinara or idk a different sauce with it.. the shop is close to other neighboring little eateries.. like a boba place and other Asian cuisine. There is not enough sitting I feel like for the amount of people at south coast plaza. Especially if you go during holidays.. overall.. I guess it depends on personal taste buds of each individual.. read more

Bought a hot cheetoh mozarella stick and waited 8 minutes for them to make it (not the issue) and when the lady gives me the box it malfunctions and slipped out of my hands and falls to the ground. I look at the employee and she says "I'm sorry" and walks back into the kitchen. Did not offer to remake it or offer a refund. If I could give zero starts I would. What kind of customer service (or lack of) is that? Fair warning to everyone that goes to this location read more

To the middle age asian woman working today, she was very rude and impatient when I was asking questions on the flavors of the mochinut. I didn't get a proper "Hello, how are you?" She just stared at me and my friend with such annoyance, mind you I was being respectful and polite. Her behavior felt aggresive and dismissive. I've noticed a lot of other customer reviews had a bad experience at this location regarding this particular employee. Management needs to look into this and terminate this woman. read more

Horrific service and bad tasing mochinut, our cashier royally seems like she hates her life and working here

Delicious, fresh and lots of flavors to choose from! Friendly, quick service on a Sunday night. Loved the chocolate flavor best - chewy and not too sweet, just right for a yummy dessert after dinner. read more

Most inefficient store I've been to. Waited 20 mins just for a one item order. 10 mins waiting in line (I was the 2nd in line) cuz she was trying to mop the floor and serve everything and take orders. Not sure why there's only one person in there? Also she had to run to another store nearby to ask whether they allow exchanging coins. I had a dollar bill but needed quarters for something. Saw they had a shit ton of quarters in the cashier but didn't let me do it. I cannot understand any of their ops and logistics. read more

I've never witnessed a food section inside of any department stores, especially at Bloomingdale's. It was pretty busy because the layout of the food area is super compact but well worth it. Keep in mind there are liens at each of them, depending on when you go. We tried three flavors for the donuts and they were pretty good. Cocoa 5/10 don't eat the pretzel it's stale lol Mango 10/10 our fav Watermelon 7/10 was pretty hesitant but it tastes like strawberry to me! read more

We ordered the set with Matcha, Churro, and Strawberry flavors. The churro and strawberry were pretty good and glazed well. The matcha wasn't glazed as well and tasted more powdery compared to the others. It also tasted more like a plain mochi donut. Overall, I did enjoy all of them. read more

We wanted to try something different from the Hot Cheetos mozzarella stick so we ordered the Takis option. The portion here is small compared to other places we have been (look at how much space is left in the box). Also, we could barely taste the Takis. Definitely not ordering this again. read more

The staff was ridiculously rude, all I asked was a question about them hiring and the girl at the front talked to me and my family as if we were lower than her. She treated my sister-in-law like a child and said "Are you sure? You'll be working in kitchen where you make food" Like girl... We know what we're signing up for. Then I order a 6pc and she ignores me over 3 different times? Please get better customer service!!! It's not nice to treat people so poorly or lower than yourself! read more

This is a nice and convenient Mochinut location in the basement food court below Bloomingdales at South Coast Plaza. Service is really quick, never a line of more than 1-3 ppl. Flavor offerings change frequently so always something new to try. And freshly made! Most recently had the red velvet, choco cake, and blueberry açaí, all were different and delicious. read more

You know when you crave a donut and you said I'll come back after lunch and then you end up at Mochinut waiting in line while so many people are ordering? Then you find out that they don't have what you want? Well, that happened to me but I still ended up getting six other flavors just because I do like them! Sadly it was the weekend and honestly, I feel like they should have made more donuts because they are pretty popular. Still, the donuts were good just didn't like the long line and the limited selection. read more

The chihuahua looking gen-z employee who took my order seemed like she was just there to exist. Stood right behind the counter next to the donuts the whole time--no hello, no eye contact, nothing. Completely checked out, like helping customers wasn't part of the job. When I pointed at the item instead of saying the flavor name, she actually snapped! Zero effort or courtesy. Looks like there were others who experienced the same. Avoid this one who works evening hours. read more

We stopped by after dinner in the plaza per kids request and really enjoyed our drinks and dessert. I liked the Ube, it tasted great. We asked the drinks to be made with less sugar and it was still a bit too sweet. Customer service was ok. Overall a good place to stop by for snacks but make sure to walk it off after with more shopping. read more

The 6pcs box is now $18. Almost 10% price increase from $16.5 earlier in the year. No longer going.

Just an fyi, this is inside South Coast Plaza! If you're just going for the donuts, enter at Bloomingdales and it's on the first floor. Went to pickup some mochinut, service wasn't great. Didn't get greeted and wasn't feeling very welcomed. I got 6 donuts and they came out to be around 17$. The mochinuts were great, nice and chewy and good flavors. But I'd probably go to another mochinut, just don't like that it's inside the mall and the service wasn't the best. read more

I was really craving mochi donuts so I was super excited to try it here, but I was pretty disappointed :( I got the 6 pc mochi donuts - Ube, Original, & Cinnamon Sugar. Although they were good, they were not made freshly to order. It had the taste, but were cold, dry, and not chewy at all. I do like how it's not very sweet so I didn't get sick of it too easily. I'd recommend going to another donut place if you're looking for freshly made batches. If you wanted a quick piece, they unfortunately don't sell 1 singular donut unless you wanted to do the deal they have with the boba. read more

I am pretty outraged due to the service and the food at this place. The cashiers was rude and snapped at me to the point where I literally didn't want to purchase anything anymore. It is unsanitary how the cashier handles cash and then boxes food up and touches the food items with her bare hands. You can also clearly see into the back where the cook is not wearing gloves. We also had to wait 20 minutes for the corn dog. My boyfriend got severe food poisoning after eating a Korean corn dog. 7 dollars for food poisoning and awful service??? I realize that they seem extremely understaffed but this is truly just ridiculous. The service AND the food was just horrible, I will never come back to this location ever again and I would like to warn others against going here as well. It's not worth the attitude from the cashier and the food poisoning. read more

A perfect spot for a delicious & flavorful snack inside the South Coast Plaza's food hall at the corner of Bloomingdale's. The Mochi donuts are amazing, and the Korean potato corn dog was the best I've had! They add a thin layer of mozzarella cheese inside the potato breading. So good! And if you just ate at the K Soul just next door, and you have your receipt, you get a 10% discount! read more

Cheese overload and loving it. Can't beat the original mozzarella but this time tried their takis mozzarella which was fab. I always get the straight mozzarella but they do have one with sausage and also option for half and half (half sausage and half mozzarella). My personal opinion love the straight mozzarella with the sweet and spicy dip. They do have other sauces ie honey mustard , ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce. They also have the mochinut (donuts) which are also very good but was at a different mochinut location months back. Great snack while on the go. Please try. read more

What horrid service. I asked if they had any pastries without anything on top, she rudely and coldly said no. Then, that same cashier got my son's order wrong. When I pointed this out after opening the box (still right there by the counter), she refused to acknowledge her error and replace the wrong item. When I insisted, she still refused then told me to get therapy. LOL. If my kids weren't with me, I would have given her a piece of my mind. Needless to say, we shall not return to this place. read more
