    I absolutely love mochinut. Every flavor is hit! You can't go wrong with any of the flavors. The mochi is just the right amount of chewy. From what I gathered, the mochi or donut isn't flavored, it's just the topping that's flavored. Most of the flavors are on the sweeter side. Parking can be difficult as it's just street, metered parking on Melrose.

    Cookies and Cream Mochi Donut

    Tried this place for some mochi donuts. Located in some street storefront with other stores. only street parking. place is small. no seat. purely order to go. small simple menu with korean cheese corn dogs and mochi donuts. ordered what i came for. the donuts are all premade sitting in a rack so ordered thier cookies and cream. total damage $4. waited 1min and got the food. and the verdict. its ok. nothing special. same quality what you get at ralphs. just because it was made with mochi didnt make it any better. i rather eat kripsy kreme which is cheaper. speaking of price, the fact it was $4 for the quality and portion just doesnt make sense to buy again. not worth the price. oh well tried it once and now off to the next food adventure.

    Brown Sugar Boba

    I can only speak to the boba, but the rest of the menu looked amazing. Food seemed to be a priority, as the bubble tea was good be tough to compare to other places around LA. The brown sugar milk base was tasty, picturesque when initially poured. However, the boba balls themselves lacked flavor. Perfect consistency and amount in the drink, but the balls themselves could have been a touch sweeter. Otherwise, cute shop and very sweet gentleman behind the counter.

    A solid mochi donut place with kind service. They have free 10 minute parking right in front of their store, which is extremely appreciated given how busy this street is! Was able to snag a Too Good To Go bag from them--it was well worth it and pick up was smooth. Will definitely look for a chance to stop by again when I'm craving mochi donuts. Thank you!

    The spot to get your mochi donuts for sure. These tasty treats are the best to bring for family parties. I love how you can break apart the pieces and share the flavors with other friends. Honesty this is by far the best thing to get everytime. I did try the Korean corn dogs and it was pretty good. Wouldn't say it was my favorite, but still good. I also loved the way the boba sugar pearl drink came to me. I've never seen it in a can type cup like that before. Loved that taste of it as well!

    Strictly rating the mochinut I would give that a 10/10! So soft and chewy and loved the flavor. I see myself making another trip very soon for this! We also got the korean potato dog and cheese dog they were good but nothing crazy. If I were near a mochinut I would get one but I wouldn't go out of my way to go get one Also tried their milk teas. I had the matcha one and my friend got the brown sugar. Not recommended on either. They both tasted like straight milk and the tiny Matcha flavor I was able to taste didn't taste like a good quality matcha.

    I'm not a huge fan of mochinut but I know everyone else is, so I stopped by to get a box and some hot dogs. The service for the hot dogs is really slow so don't get them if you're in a rush. I've been waiting for a good 10 mins as I'm patiently waiting and writing this review and they're still not ready. Had I known it took this long, I would've only gotten the donuts. The hot dogs are also pretty pricey. $6 for the specialty half and half.... I got 4 hot dogs and a dozen donuts and spent $60. I wouldn't personally buy them for myself. Parking is also very difficult.

    Ube & Taro
    Huyen C.

    We stayed near melrose for our trip to Cali & walked down melrose. We stopped by Mochinut because I love a good Mochi donut. We got the taro & ube donuts and damn, so good. Our favorite was the ube one. There menu is a little deceiving because it says for oat/almond milk it's an extra dollar. We wanted the coffee boba with oat milk, but the drinks are essentially pre made so you can't substitute for the milk teas. I'm sure you can for the other coffee/drink options. We tried the crispy ramen mozzarella corn dog and it was so good! Comes out hot & was definitely worth trying! Would come back.

    We stopped in one morning while bumbling around Hollywood haven't the slightest idea what or where we were going like the awful tourists we were - but it led us to this place and I was so thankful and impressed! We got there right as they opened and ordered a bubble tea and few flavored mochinuts- which we've never had before and just basically had a chewier texture - but we ate them in seconds! The staff was so helpful and friendly too. Amazing little find!

    Melt in your mouth Mochi. Melrose Location *Make sure to check their Instagram for the flavors that day I was very surprised when I heard that a few coworkers have never had Mochinut before, so I decided to order two dozen. It was beyond easy to order online, and you can set it for that day or a few days in advanced. They do have promotions all the time so the one that I received was buy 12 get 2 free. We tried quite a few different flavors and they were all delicious. My personal favorite was the chocolate churro. I also love the mozzarella corndogs with sugar. It may seem like a strange combination, but it works and is absolutely amazing. There is plenty of parking on the street and in the neighbor close by. They do have a few tables for outdoor seating outside as well. If you have never tried Mochinut THIS IS YOUR SIGN. I promise it is worth it! Truthfully, I like it more than regular donuts. I plan on coming back and will probably turn Mochinut into my potluck go to. Overall Delicious 10/10!

    Finally got to try Mochinut after driving by their new Melrose location a few times. I popped in on a Saturday afternoon and parking took a few minutes to find, but not bad given the area. Their flavors of the day were: Chocolate, Churro, Tiramisu, Taro Pebble, Raspberry, Cookies & Cream and Original. I grabbed the Raspberry, Chocolate and Tiramisu for a friend and the Churro for myself after the kind woman working there recommended it to me. The Churro was amazing, the texture was bouncy and spongy and just awesome. Perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. My friend really enjoyed the chocolate and raspberry. The donuts present really well and prices are fair. I will be back to try some more flavors!

    Pistachio.
    Daryl D.

    The flavors I tried this time around: Thai tea - I couldn't taste the Thai tea flavor. Pistachio - Definitely nutty flavor to it. I liked it. Raspberry - My favorite of the three. Most flavor. I absolutely love the consistency of the mochi doughnuts. The chewiness is a foodgasm. Staff as helpful and attentive to my questions. I also had iced brewed coffee which has the caffeine jolt if you need one.

    So glad this place has finally opened! I always drive by and see this little shop. Ordered one of each donut for the day! Original, coconut, strawberry, churro, black sea sesame, and biscoff mochi donuts! They all tasted delicious! I love how all the donuts have a nice bounce and chewy texture. It is my favorite kind of donut! I love how they have different kinds of flavors all the time! I really want to try the blueberry someday! Service was great! Seems like this place just opened & they deserve all the business during covid.

    Yummy

    Not Bad! If the flaming hot coating was crispy on the outsides of the corn dog /cheese sticks that would really kick it up a notch!

The hot dogs were coated with a light layer of sugar, giving them a crunchy exterior while staying soft and moist inside. The melted mozzarella cheese made them even better.

I got the mixed cheese/hot dog which was fresh and satisfying to eat. I do wish that the cheese and hot dog could be eaten at the same time rather than the top half being cheese and bottom half being hot dog but I believe thats how all korean hot dogs are made. I got it with sugar on top because I love a sweet and salty combo but it had a bit too much sugar, even for me. I'd ask to go light sugar. Also had a strawberry yogurt smoothie which was delicious, definitely the highlight. However, I was charged for a large smoothie which I didn't ask for which was a bit frustrating.

They're particularly amazing if the vendor is set up on a corner, it should be at least midnight, and you should be a couple of sheets to the wind. I don't know if it's the car exhaust marinade or the lard cooking ingredients, but those damn Dirty Dogs are life-changingly good! (Make sure you get it with all the fixings... Calories don't count after midnight.) Whether it's outside the clubs in Hollywood, or you're celebrating the Lakers win outside the Staples Center, those trusty carts are a godsend to LA food lovers like me! Now to find those bad boys, if you're good, you can locate a stand by scouring the city for the queue on corner - the clear indicator of the food stand.

Either way, bacon-wrapped hot dogs are staple in the culture of LA. It's what makes us so damn awesome!
