The staff was very helpful and friendly! Very positive vibes! ... Easy parking! Omg i've had korean corn dogs but I think this is the VERY best so far! Had the crushed hot cheetos and also the potato half n half cheese. Both crispy, fresh, and everything was equally balanced! The can containers are so cute and adorable. My milk tea boba was perfect! Ordered also brown sugar tea w/boba also very good! Chewy boba and fresh! The mochinut is really crunchy/crispy on the outside the inside is super fluffy and soft.. not soggy and melts in your mouth!!! I'm so happy right now! 10 outta 10!

I guess I'm just a sucker for cute pink boxes and feeling like I'm cool. I'd driven by Mochinut many times and seen lines of folks waiting for their mochinuts, so I decided to give it a shot and got in line myself. While waiting to order, I looked up "mochinut" online and found out they're basically donuts made with rice flour. Originating in Hawaii, they're a combo of the "mochi" treats you might have tried at Trader Joe's and doughnuts. The minimum order is three mochinuts, served up in a cute pink box. You select your flavors from the day's list. I went with churro, ube and s'mores. Drinks are also offered, but no hot coffee (knock off one star right there.....donuts/mochinuts without coffee? That's like a hamburger without a bun.) I ordered Thai Milk with boba. The minute I took a sip of the Thai Milk, I knew I was in trouble. The flavor was simply off, like no Thai Milk I'd ever had before. Plus, it seemed like there was about 1/4 cup of sugar in that one drink. I couldn't finish it due to fear of a diabetic coma. Now to the mochinuts. The churro flavor was passable; it's hard to go wrong with cinnamon and sugar. The s'mores was next best, coated with a thick layer of chocolate frosting and a nice soft marshmallow. The ube mochinut was pretty much inedible; the frosting had a weird chemical taste and I felt like I was eating congealed paint. One bite and I was done. Now, to the price. $16 for the above order. That's just mochi-nuts. Stick with the mochis from TJ's and go to Foster's for your donut fix. Two stars because I feel bad for the franchise owners (otherwise it would be one star, tbh.) Ample free street parking.

I had been to the Las Vegas location, so when I was driving around La Crescenta, I decided to turn the car around and come to this place. I liked that they made everything when ordered, so it was fresh. The mochi donuts taste the best when fresh! I tried the half cheese, half hot dog-covered with flaming hot Cheetos. They asked if I wanted sugar on top. At first that sounded odd, but I said, "why not" and I'm glad I did. It was good! Not as hot as eating the Cheetos by itself, but definitely has that kick. The sugar made it taste like a donut! I enjoyed it! Private parking lot in back, but it's tight and not too many spaces available.

Coffee $6.00 very good! & Sotteok (sausages and rice cakes on skewer with sweet chili sauce delish! $5.99

Great drinks love their coffee boba here they make it perfect every time. Also their brown sugar drink. Their sausage rice cake skewer (Sotteok) are a tasty snack. Owners are super nice and service with the young boys working there have been friendly and exceptional customer service. This location is one of the better Mochinuts.

I've only been to this location once. I've been to other Mochinuts in the past and have had lovely experiences. The service was great, but I think the donuts here that I got didn't maintain their springy freshness like other locations I've been too. Honestly.... It might have just been a fluke and it won't discourage me from coming back in the future if I want this type of donut. The donuts at Mochinut are pretttttty pricey but they're cute . There's free parking on the street. I believe there's also a lot behind but I haven't had need to use the back lot. I hear good things about be corn dog. I'll def have to come back and re-review in the future after trying their drinks and corn dog!

Solid 3.5 stars. I come from a family of donut lovers. I know places like this could never live up to Mister Donut (original mochi donut from Asia - Taiwan, Japan, etc) - BUT - I was pleasantly surprised. The texture of the donuts themselves were nice and springy and I did enjoy the flavors of some of them. I bought a box of 6: original, mango, black sesame, strawberry funnel, churro and s'mores. My favorites were strawberry funnel and mango. It would have been nice to have more dried strawberry pieces on the funnel donut because it gives it such a fun texture. Mango flavor on the mango donut was on point and I'm so glad I got this one because I was so sure going in that I wouldn't order this one! However, the others were lacking in flavor, texture and/or appearance. When I think of black sesame, I think of already ground up grey paste in the glaze with tiny black specks, which is a pretty standard in Asian desserts. This would have been more premium looking than what they currently offer. Unfortunately their version is with hand frosted white chocolate and sesames sprinkled on top like an everything bagel...it just seems lazy? Or uninventive? Don't get this one. The churro is too simple with just cinnamon sugar on top. There needs to be a crunch element to give it that churro like texture. Could be better. My s'mores donut's marshmallow was not toasted like in the display. The display also looked like it was burned wrong? They could have really amped up the appearance with a nice golden brown edged marshmallow instead of a plain white that I got. Overall, the base donut is wonderful but some of the flavor, texture and topping execution really miss the mark for me. Street parking available, easy to find and looks like they may have their own lot behind the shop.

If you've been to a mochinut location, you know what it is. If not... it's close to the Krispy Kreme texture - warm, fluffy, airy, not too dense. But also rich with flavor and they're all delicious. I can't recommend a flavor because they're all good - it just depends on what you're in the mood for. FYI - their flavors rotate, so they have 6 flavors of donuts each day and it alternates every day. So not everything you see on their website will be available every day. Their savory items are pretty great too (their hot dog / corn dog items). They coat the breading in some crunchy rice and it works. The reason for the 4 start is that it just takes way too long to get your order. If time is an issue and I want to pick up a dozen donuts on my way somewhere, I'd have to go to another donut shop. Also, the hours aren't great (11am-7pm mo-sat). Other than that - food, quality, and staff are great.

Oh soooo pretty ....and yummy come to my tummy.

I love the fact that you get to drive up to this donut shop grab what you need and take off.... The donuts are super fresh when eaten right away . They have a light fluffy crispy texture. Also it can be broken into pieces easily for sharing in case you don't want to eat the entire donut you can eat a little bit of all the flavors. Yummy !!!! Love the service, super friendly . I once got to try a drink here because they didn't want it to go to waste for free! It was super delicious. I recommend the UBE with boba.

The donuts were okay. I've had so much better in terms of them being bouncy in texture. These donuts at mochinut are not as bouncy as I would prefer. They also are not as flavorful as ones I've had in the past at other mochi doughnuts locations. The flavors are varied and fun though. I also would prefer them to be sweeter. Please note that I have a sweet tooth so for those who prefer less sweet treats this is a good option. For those who prefer super sweet treats you may find the donuts not sweet enough for you.

Where's the syrup!?
Cynthia O.

When I heard Mochinut was going to be built in La Crescenta, I was stoked that we wouldn't have to drive to Arcadia or Glassel Park to get our Mochinut fix. It's in a great location and street parking is pretty easy if you don't want to park in the lot behind them. After visiting a couple times, their hot dogs and donuts are deliciously made like the other locations, so no complaints there. However, the boba can definitely use some work. The brown sugar boba drink that I got looks nothing like the poster with the syrup dripping down the sides of the plastic can. There was basically boba, a teeny tiny bit of syrup and milk - which I could've done at home and saved myself 6 bucks. It basically tasted like.... milk, with a small hint of boba. Look, I really want this location to succeed, but please make the boba drinks properly with the right amount of sweetness and flavor.

Original mochi dog

I can only speak about the original mochi dog, which was light and crunchy/crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. For about a little over $5, it's a nice snack. Since they make it on the spot, you do have to wait 5 minutes but it's worth the freshness. I'll try their mochinuts next time.

The wait can be quite long but at least you know the donuts are fresh! The mochi donuts were good--chewy and not overly sweet.
