Mochinut is always a go-to spot for me--I usually grab a mix of their mochi donuts and Korean corn dogs because you really can't go wrong with either. This time, I decided to switch it up and try their fries, and I'm so glad I did! They offer both crinkle and straight cut, which I thought was a fun option. I went with the crinkle fries and they were honestly amazing--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. I might actually like them just as much as the corn dogs now, which says a lot. They're definitely a new favorite and something I'll be adding to my usual order. Mochinut keeps surprising me in the best way, and I love that there's always something new to try every time I go. read more

I was craving mochi donuts so we stopped by Mochinut in National City. It's located in the Tita's Kitchen plaza so parking is extremely scarce. Service was mehh... 1 guy was preparing something and the other guy was at the back on the computer. Neither of them seemed interested in taking our orders. Then finally, the guy preparing something took our order. We ordered a box of a dozen donuts: raspberry funnel cake, churro, chocolate churro, chocolate chip, blueberry, and matcha. All flavors were really good. We like to cut them up and eat each ball so we can taste the different flavors. Overall, delicious donuts. I'd keep coming back to the Mochinut brand for my mochi donut fix. read more

Donuts are one of my favorite sweet treats and mochinut is the perfect consistency of bouncy and chewy. Their Korean style hotdogs are very tasty also. My favorite is the half and half. Prices are definitely higher than your regular donut shop but worth it. Staff is friendly and it's cute inside perfect for a quick selfie with your favorite mochinut/drink. read more

Don't come within an hour of closing. Idk if the girl thought I was being rude when I asked if it was all they had& she said well we are closing soon. I understand that part, but I guess, brushed it off. I asked to clear the rest of the 6 remaining donuts. My nephew ordered a strawberry matcha, but they ran out of strawberry. My other 2 nephews ordered corn dogs, but she missed 1. She did add strawberry jelly in place of the missing strawberry syrup. For my nephew that missed the corn dog. She did apologize and assured me she didn't charge me. I didn't get a receipt, but I basically calculated the total from the menu pics from my fellow helpers. She thought that he was ordering without my consent when I did say go ahead& order what you want. He told her 3xs his order, but I guess she only heard the other 2. The moch are just okay now, it doesn't have that fresh taste. The Ube isn't even glazed over nicely. The chocolate ones are inconsistent with 1 missing some almonds. It took almost 20mins to get 1 corn dog and 1 drink. It was a super hype a couple years ago, now it's just MEH for me. Idk. This location has been a little disappointing lately. read more

I've been here a couple of times now and they're always so friendly and helpful, with such an array of flavors to choose from. Any flavor is good, and it's a cool spot to check out in this plaza, especially being next to the rolled ice cream place. Thank you! read more

Friendly and quick service. Small inside with a couple tables and cute photo op wall. There weren't many flavors/donuts on display but the flavors were written on the glass and I saw a tray of donuts ready to go in the back. I got the ube, churro, and chocolate churro. It's really good fresh but gets stale fast, but that's just because of the chewy mochi. I also got an original mozarella Korean "hot dog". Came here at 3pm after just finishing work in the area, didnt eat breakfast or lunch and the crispy, fried mozzarella hit the spot. I meant to only eat half but I ate the whole thing on my drive back to north county haha. read more

Great spot! Service was quick and food was fresh.would definitely recommend. If you're craving something different--like chewy mochi donuts with inventive flavors or Korean-style hot dogs--Mochinut in National City is definitely worth a try. read more

Service was great. The place was nice and chill. However, I wish the drinks had non-dairy options.

Terrible service. Like appallingly bad. I had Roel help me. He was less than thrilled to be there. Everything I said was met with attitude. I was there to purchase a dozen for my brother's birthday. Naturally he wanted different flavors. When I expressed I'd be hand picking them rather than doing two of each, Roel was none too thrilled. While paying, I asked if I could use the restroom. I saw the door, but it had a lock code on it. He didn't reply. Assuming he didn't hear me, I asked again. He just looked at me and walked to the back. Um, okay. Then when he came back, he finally replied. Bathroom didn't have running water. Cool. Then, when I came back out, I went to sit at a table and wait. He said, "there's your order," without looking at me, acknowledging me, anything. I don't care for small talk or pleasantries when I'm picking up an order. In fact, I prefer no small talk. I definitely don't expect a red carpet to be rolled out in my honor, but a little bit of human decency goes a long way. Responding when asked a question is my idea of common decency. Roel's facial expressions and can't-be-bothered attitude really made the whole experience awful. Please save your time and go to a different location! It will spare you the awful taste left after interacting with someone so unpleasant. I am a paying customer and 7 months pregnant, letting me know the bathroom is open for public use shouldn't be like pulling teeth. The only reason this has more than a star is the donuts themselves. read more

Hey ya'll, previous review was based on personal experience. It was past closing hour when I came in and most probably the sales staff was all focused to close the shop. Business owner Jae reached out to me right away to inform me about changes on donut pricing during closing hours, promos they have on IG (red app) and that they participate in the too good to go program. Info was lit for public awareness. Rest assured I'll definitely come back for donuts. read more

It's nice to see a Mochinut open up here in National City! It's refreshing to see a new dessert/ snack shop in the area that is not just boba! They had many donuts readily available and we decided on a dozen to try new flavors. Avocado (3/5): Green icing and a white chocolate chip on top. This one was a little strange but it didn't have any hint of avocado. It wasn't bad but this flavor definitely got our attention to try it! Oreo (4/5): I love a cookies and cream flavor so this one was going to be sweet but paired with the chewy fried dough it was like eating a fried Oreo. Churro (3/5): Looks and tastes like a churro! I wouldn't my really go for this one but we chose this for more variety. Strawberry Funnel Cake (5/5): My favorite out of all of them. Resembles an actual funnel cake with the powdered sugar and strawberry syrup! It wasn't t doing too much and wasn't overly sweet either. read more

I walked in on a Friday afternoon to grab a 6-pack and was immediately greeted as I stepped through the door--super quick and friendly service! All the mochi donuts were fresh, and they had such fun flavors today: raspberry funnel, chocolate funnel, chocolate churro, churro, avocado, cookies and cream, ube, and original. They switch out the flavors every week, so there's always something new to try. This is hands-down my favorite local spot for donuts, Korean corn dogs, and boba. I especially love the potato corn dog and all the tasty sauces they offer. The place also has super cute decor--perfect for photo ops. Highly recommend Mochinut if you're in the area! read more

Love it ! The drink are my favorite! Always love getting the Lychee Fruit Aide with Lychee jelly!!

I've been thinking about a Korean hot dog since I had it at the Encinitas Mochinut location 4 days ago. I was excited to see a Mochinut had opened close by however I noticed the prices here are higher than at the other Mochinut locations. I got the Ube Coffee ($6.25) and a Hot Cheetos Mozzarella hot dog ($6.50). The drink consisted of so much ice, it was decent. At the Encinitas location the other day, I had a Hot Cheetos Cheddar hot dog for $5.25 (they didn't have the cheddar cheese filling option at this location)... that's $1.25 more here! Also the customer service here was dull; it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best. read more

Yummy yum! Love the texture of these donuts. Two of my faves in one! The sweetness is pefect not overpowering. My all time fave is the cinnamon churro. We also got the brown sugar boba drink and it reminded me a lot of an ice cream I ate often growing up. felt nostalgic drinking it. read more

Yikes!!! Don't order this Matcha Strawberry drink or don't expect for them to fix anything at the moment. Got this order yesterday April 2, 2025. Looks and taste like milk. See attached photos. Although they say matcha is 70% on this drink and using a new milk powder. I cannot see or taste the matcha. I've been coming here so I know how it looks strawberry on the bottom then matcha on the middle then milk and ice on top but when picked up the order it was already mixed. No action was done at the moment when I explain my concern. I don't think this is true that says about this company from the web "Mochinut aims to provide a unique and memorable experience." read more

Currently, obsessed with these donuts and their texture. My favorite is the funnel cake one especially because it's covered with powdered sugar and topped of with a strawberry sauce. I love the diversity mochinut offers in flavors. This was my second time trying these hotdogs and they definitely wowed me. My first experience wasn't the best, so I was a little skeptical. The young man who helped me was an amazing help as he answered all my questions without hesitation. He even provided me with his recommendation with the sauce selection. I was a big fan of the hot Cheeto half & half hot dog, which is half mozzarella & half sausage. The potato hot dog was so delicious. The ambiance of the place was very chill and clean. They had a little area with a couch and plants were I waited for my hot dogs as those take a little longer to make. You get your donuts instantly! read more

It was my first time at a Mochinut which was recommended by my friends. I didn't realize how many of these locations have closed in SD. There's really nothing memorable about this place. It's your typical little Asian snack cafe with no frills. The place seemed quiet and unexciting, which was also accompanied by the lackluster donut flavors they had to offer. My friends enjoyed the Korean hotdogs, but it took 40 minutes for them to prepare it. I can see why a lot of these places are closing down, unfortunately :( read more

Came by while waiting on my ride at the Firestone down the road. Mochi donuts are EXPENSIVE. I get it they probably use different ingredients that make these more pricey. But 2 of these after tip were about $8. They also are an acquired taste. Sticky texture. I thought for the most part they were good. I've tried the ones in Mira Mesa so I knew what to expect. I am interested in trying their iced drinks at some point. read more

Been at the place a few times, more than I want to admit Their mochi donuts are great, and this is coming from a person who don't care too much about donut. Our top 3 Taro, Funnel cake and the original. The Boba drinks are also a must. It is pricier than your usual donuts shops but trust me, well worth it. read more

Overall I love this location!! I came here with my kids on the 10/24. The guy who was working by himself was amazing. It sucks I didn't get his name. He suggested the ube drink with boba and Oreo omg that drink was AMAZING!!! My older son ended up taking my drink. The flavors of the donuts and the sizes of the Korean corndog really depends who's working on that day. My older son were surprised the corndog was huge but the other time when we got one. It was really tiny. I recommend coming to this location!!! I will keep coming back!! Ps. My older guy asked me for money so he could tip the guy my older son is such a sweetheart read more
