If you're looking for a spot that's as "Instagrammable" as it is delicious, this is it. My husband is a boba fanatic, so we've been around the block, but this place really impressed us. * The Vibe: It's a creator's dream. They have dedicated photo ops and the lighting is perfect. Plus, they offer free Wi-Fi and actually have enough seating to get some work done--a rare find! * The Drinks: I opted for the Peach Mango Lemonade, which was the definition of refreshing--not too tart, just pure fruit flavor. My husband went for the Strawberry Shortcake. It was incredibly creamy and decadent; it honestly tasted exactly like the dessert in liquid form. * The Food: We didn't grab a bite this time, but the specialty hot dogs looked "chef's kiss" level. We'll definitely be back to tackle those next. Verdict: 10/10 would recommend for a date or a photo op. read more

I usually don't love mochi donuts when they're no longer warm, but Mochinut makes a good box and keeps their dough tasting fresh. Original is always great, and they have a ton of fun flavors like Matcha and Ube and they'll even experiment with things like Dubai Chocolate. A very fun treat/snack, and the hot dogs look great as well. I'd come back to try a few more things for sure. read more

They have a fire playlist with lots of seating the place is clean and spacious . Anyways I got both hot cheeto and potato rice dogs , very flavorful! 10/10 recommend. read more

If you are in search of a cafe with a diverse display of donuts & boba that will make you emerge out of your comfort zone and spark that youthful curiosity--this is the place to go. Mochinut has it all, from the most fascinating, diverse options. The area is so contemporary, and I love how it feels like visiting a donut place in the city. If that is your vibe, definitely consider it. I heard from my uncle that they often change the donuts. That was why we couldn't see if they have our favorite ube donuts last visit. I tried many different donuts from the place, many from my last visit. I liked the ube donut, churro, and the cheesecake. I also tried the lemon one which wasn't as appealing to me. There was one of them with the biscoff and caramel, couldn't recall the name--but that one was also not as appealing as I thought it would be. I feel as though, it may be due to my preferences. Otherwise, I loved the bakery and the ambiance. Had no complaints with the service, food came in sooner than expected. Definitely worth trying out another time! Thank you Mochinut Palos Verdes for the experience! Hoping that in my next visit, we can get a lot of the ube donuts. read more

The donuts are okay. Drinks are good. But service is terrible. I went on a Monday morning and this lady was on the phone and didn't pay any attention to me and what I was ordering. Was standing there for a little while, while she was on the phone. She walks away from her phone takes my order. Before I even finish she goes back to her phone for another 2 minutes. Then comes back to me and I tell her I wanted to add boba to the matcha drink. She thought I wanted a third drink. I had to re- explain at least 5 times that I wanted just two drinks. And one with boba. And she kept thinking I wanted a third drink. And then of course she goes back to her phone. Still insisting that I wanted a third drink. I was very close to walking out but I just wanted a drink. She finally hangs up. Hen I had to explain for the 5/6th time that I wanted to drinks. And to add boba to ONE. I was literally the only customer t She gave me the boba for free and said that it's a dollar extra for every drink and I'm like again I just wanted it on one drink. If you wanted the extra dollar so badly then I'll pay it. Just at least pay attention to your customers instead of your phone call. The whole transaction probably took close to 10 minutes because her phone call was so important to her. And of course. The drink was made wrong. Doesn't look anything like the picture. In the picture it's a matcha with ube foam and it's like she layered ube foam with matcha then matcha foam. Tastes like I'm drinking pure foam. read more

Was in the mood for something sweet after having sushi so we drove all the way to Palos Verdes for some Mochinut's! This location was actually hard to find once we parked but after walking the strip we spotted it. It's really humongous inside! They have some really cool flavors that I wanted to try out. I was really excited to try the Red Velvet flavor, we also got one, cookies n cream, matcha, fruity pebbles, ube, and churro. The best out of all six flavors here was the ube, next had to be the churro, then cookies n cream. I was a little disappointed in the red velvet flavor as it taste nothing like red velvet at all. read more

This place is good, I am a mochi donut coneissur. However, the asian teenage boy, I believe his name to be Phillip, who often works cashier can be rude and aloof. He is not happy to be a worker of the Mochinut franchise and it shows. As a mochimember myself, and a regular to the PV location, seeing him does not make my day. The food is good, I just prefer him not to make it. read more

Buyers Beware! They will short you on a dozen donuts! I got 11 donuts AFTER getting them home....had I known.... I would have checked BEFORE leaving the store! On top of that I tipped the idiot who was working......and paid a whopping $46 for 11 flimsy donuts. Will NEVER RETURN! read more

Super soft and fresh mochi donuts. My favorite was the Biscoff one, so bomb and almost had a coffee-like flavor. They have a wide variety, so there's plenty to choose from depending on your taste. The inside of the shop could use a little maintenance but the owner is super nice, which made the experience better. Also tried the Thai tea with boba. Loved the cute container, but the drink itself was a bit too sweet for me. Not my favorite, but not bad. Good spot overall with great deals for what you get. I'd come back for the donuts alone. read more

I do not recommend this business for large orders. I placed an order in person for four dozen boxes as my kid's bday treat at school, a few days in advance and I paid in advance. The cashier at the time had me fill out an order form, which I did, along with my contact information, flavors, and quantity. On the day of the pick up, I fully expected the boxes to be ready, and easy, quick pick up. I also allowed ~30 min buffer from the requested pick up time just in case. This is what happened: 1) no one was at the register, I had to yell "hello" a few times to get someone to come out from the back kitchen 2) this lady had no idea what I was talking about 3) luckily she found a copy of my order form, but she insisted that it wasn't paid until I showed her my receipt 4) she asks to clarify the flavors I wrote and just tells me that some flavors are not available 5) she says she prepared only one box, because that's what it said on the order form. It did have the correct qty. Her error. 6) she says of the ordered flavors they did have, there aren't enough, so she ended up making the boxes on the fly and substituting with different flavors. If it wasn't for my kid waiting for the donuts already at the school...I would've asked for a full refund and walked away. Finally, after we managed to make four boxes of random flavors somehow that was so different from the original order... she says "next time, please confirm the order one day before." To that I replied, "YOU can confirm, but there won't be a next time." read more

Mochi donuts are my favorite kind of donuts. They are light, flavorful, chewy, and addicting. However, there are flavors that I like better than others. it's a personal preference. I'm not a fan of any of the chocolate flavors. And the funnel cake and fruity pebbles were just okay My favorites are red velvet, ube, strawberry, honey glazed, and nutella. The mango seemed artificial. Matcha had a slight bitterness to it, which i liked. They also have premade Boba drinks in a can. The Boba quality isn't what you expect from fresh Boba, but it is pretty decent if you go in with that expectation. Definitely coming back. read more

RUDe and Bad service. They will prioritize other people's order. I waited 30 mins for my order. Then the young red headed lady who took my order stood around doing nothing while I waited. After I confronted her about my order she lies about being busy to someone else taking my order . Does not offer me refund instead says it will take really quick for her to make it. Then she goes make other people's order while I wait another 10 mins and then she makes my order wrong. I brought it to her attention nicely because I'am talking to a teenager. She threw an attitude towards me. This is what happens when they hire teenagers. Won't ever come back nor recommend! read more

Spacious and clean. Great mochi donuts and drinks. Good service. Our favorite stop after ice skating or movies.

The man taking our order was so sweet and patient. He had so much respect and was incredibly polite and helpful. The food came out at a reasonable time and was so fresh and hot. The hot cheetos full mozzarella dog was our favorite even though it was really soft, but we took a while to eat it so it probably just softened in that time. The flavor, however, was definitely there. Although I like the crunch of the crispy ramen one, the taste lacked. I would get the potato one again though! Next time, I'd pass on the ube milk tea as I'm becoming more sensitive to artificial drinks. The taste isn't bad, but isn't one I love. read more

Place was a walking distance from the PV library. Morden cafe setting inside instead of a mochi donut bakery style, which was cool with me. Tried their cold caramel macchiato. Too sweet without the coffee root. Love the idea of seal the drink into the plastic can. The donuts were sold by 3. They were chewy as the regular mochi donut but on the sweet side. I was expecting the black sesame coating tasted more toward the black sesame. So was with the ube flavor one. The colors were appetizing though. And the staff was nice and friendly. read more

When you pay by credit card, they deliberately zoom in the screen on the tablet, forcing you to tip. Once I pointed this out to the employee, she re-did it and bypassed the tip screen altogether. Scammy practice. Also, handing me slightly stale donuts doesn't justify a tip. read more

The good: The interior of this place is massive! There were high ceilings and tons of space to lounge around. I was shocked at how big this mochi donut spot was. There was also some bumping music. They sell drinks too. This is a great spot to hangout with friends. I tried the suggested Korean rice corn dog #5 as well as a box of 6 mochi donuts for $18. The price was very fair. The worker was nice. The corndog was freshly fried and tasted great. They have outdoor seating as well. They have a lot of mochi donut flavors to choose from. Their boxes are super cute and pink and make for a great gift or item to bring to a potluck or work function. The bad: Overall, I think mochi donuts don't beat yeast raised donuts but they are still fun and yummy. Do not expect fluffy and light because mochi is supposed to be chewy and heavy. The interesting: There's a parking garage right by here in the Promenade. They have lots of locations all throughout the US. read more

Let me start by saying I really wanted to like this place. It's located in a place I frequent and hoped it would thrive. A former Starbucks, so I had high hopes. The other reviews seem positive so perhaps I'm missing something. Decor: appears like they just moved in and yet I think they've been here two years. Boxes stacked up against a wall. A wire rack that seems to have no purpose just sadly standing next to the tables/seats. Service: worker was friendly enough. Very nice smile. No negatives, nothing outstanding. I was given the wrong wifi password twice but eventually she got to the right code. (It wasn't posted anywhere.) Ambiance: music was ear blasting. I had to request it turned down. The place was empty the duration of my visit so I'm not sure why it was turned up. Bathroom was fairly clean but the sink looked maybe stained instead of dirty? I hope that's what it was. I noticed no one hung around this enormous place after getting their orders. I'd expect to see folks sitting and reading or working online. Bottom line: so much potential but I'm curious how they stay open. The space is huge and could really be turned into something amazing. read more

Having grown up in PV, I don't recognize the PV mall without Starbuck's. However, I'm not mad about Mochinut taking its place. Despite Mochinut having locations all over, I hadn't tried their mochi donuts until I went to their PV location. They had a pretty good variety; I opted for the mango, pistachio, and ube. The person helping me told me that the pistachio flavor was new and I can't say I've seen a pistachio-flavored donut before, so I was excited to try. All three flavors were super good! The donuts were the perfect texture as well. Although the pistachio was good, my fav was the ube. If I'm in the PV area again craving a sweet treat, I know where to go! read more

Tried their Nutella mochi donut and it was sooo good!! 10/10 do recommend. Fast and friendly service. Seating inside

The mochi donuts and rice hotdog here are sooooo good! Better here compared to other places we've tried them at. The boba is also yummy but it is a bit pricey for the amount you get. The flavors we tried are in the photos. Mochi donuts: Nutella, Ube, and Cookies & Cream. Rice hotdog: half cheese half sausage--I wanted to get another of this! For boba: ube brown sugar and ube. All are yummy and would get them all again! Service was also excellent. It came out pretty fast and it wasn't busy at all on a Thursday (only one other party in line). Definitely will be back! read more

I really enjoyed the food here. I ordered the crispy ramen hotdog and felt it's the best Korean rice hotdog I've had. Does take about 5 minutes to prepare for absolutely worth it. It comes pipping hot and it's super crispy. There is sweet spicy sauce, ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce on the side. We also got a special mochi donut which was pretty expensive ($4). In terms of taste tho it was way better than a regular donut. Soft interior and sweet but not over powering. Definitely a goto for mochi type foods. read more

I like it. Never had a Mochinut before. Interesting. First and foremost, if you don't know what mochi is, it's rice, so you're basically eating a donut shaped rice cake. Flavors vary daily, so they only offer whatever flavors you see behind the case. I purchased the 3/$9. All chocolate. I also got a coffee boba. They make it fresh to order. It's served in a plastic container shaped like a can. I was getting into shaking it up before popping it open. Because they recently opened this location, formerly a Starbucks, the interior is nice and clean. Plenty of indoor seating, with hand sanitizer on each table. I would recommend outdoor seating as well. This is a privately owned family business. Polite youths working behind the counter. Plenty of free, mall parking. read more

Slow service....they do random and lower priority tasks while customers are just waiting

This is an interesting place but you need to know what you're getting into, as it may not be quite what you expect. Yes, they have donuts (a lot of donuts) but they are not called donuts, they are called mochinuts. What these are is a kind of donut shaped food item but as they are created with, at least in part, rice their flavor is very different. I'm not a fan, but that's just me. They have several drinks, mostly offered in cans, plus espresso and latte. Their latte is good. The high point of their drink menu is their boba drinks as they actually serve them to you in a high-end plastic container with a pop-top like you would find on a soft drink. Again, I'm not a boba fan so I'm probably not the best one to judge, but the drink presentation is very nice. The interior space of this business is very open, large, and inviting so it is a nice place to sit back and enjoy what they have offer. As I came here when they were first opening, they are not yet offering all they will apparently have like their rice dogs and teas. But, I guess those are coming soon. Overall, if this is the type of food and drink you like, this is the place for you. read more

I would call this a soft opening as they don't have a full menu yet - No hot dogs - Limited selection of donuts Their hours are peculiar. They open at 11. I guess donuts are not a morning item? The donuts themselves are quite good. But they should be for the price ! These ain't cheap I'll come back when they are up and running fully and I'd recco mens you do the same. Meanwhile I'll give them 3 stars for potential PS: they should set up a "booth" selling coffee and donuts at the monthly Peninsula Cars and Coffee that takes place at the upper level of the car park read more

This spot has replaced the Starbucks that was here prior and it's probably for the best. I'd been wanting to stop by and check this place out but didn't have any reason to be in that specific pocket of PV til recently. I walked into a clean and spacious environment with upbeat music and that is always a pleasant welcome in my books. I chose a table near a charging socket bc my batt was near dead. I examined the menu for a while and though the name of this establishment would lead one to believe that they only sold donuts, coffee and other breakfast like pastries, it was a pleasant surprise to see that they offer more than just that. After studying the menu I was excited to try the rice dog which comes in so many interesting and tempting varieties but since I had never had one before I went for the classic Mozzarella. The attendant behind the counter was very helpful and asked very appropriate questions to be able to assist me in making the right order for me to enjoy. This was really appreciated bc most would have just offered their personal favorite and moved on. This felt personal and genuine. The attendant, I didn't ask his name, though I probably should have, was very polite and attentive to all the patrons needs while manning the whole place himself. He made time to acknowledge everyone personally, make polite small talk and still never stopped working the counter and to and from the workstation in the back. And he seemed really happy while doing it all which is bonus points in my book bc I've been to establishments where the attendants are always cribbing about one thing or another and have the worst "I hate my life" attitude. Moving on,. I didn't go in with any expectations when I decided to try the rice dog and I was so pleasantly surprised at how non greasy it' was for something that was clearly fried! It was crunchy, cheesy, not the nauseating kind, and fun to eat! I'm looking forward to trying the other variations of the same! The owner came in a while later when I was there and she didn't seem as friendly as her staff and was more focused on the functionality of the place etc which I understand since it is her business after all but the entire time I was there even though we locked eyes, she never smiled or even greet me. I went to the counter again and I waited patiently for her to give me her attention and she never did. Instead the attendee was more observant and this too while single-handedly running the joint. Impressive. Would I come back? Yes! Do I recommend it ? Yes. Would I hang out there or use it as a chill spot to order and graze over my food while I multi task to get work done? Prob not. It does feel like the owner wants people treating it like coffee house but rather just a quick in and out, grab and go spot. I could be wrong but the vibe I got while I sat there on my phone with my food on the table definitely seemed as such. Don't let that stop you from checking it out though! Definitely do! read more

I saw an advertisement for Mochinut on Instagram, and was really intrigued so I went to check it out with a few friends. They were still setting up and had a "soft" opening on June 10th, so all they had were milk teas. I ordered the Matcha milk tea, and my friend got a brown sugar milk tea. The matcha milk tea was very pleasant, not overwhelmingly sweet, yet fairly strong. The boba was nice as chewy as well. The cups they provide the drinks in are very unique, sort of like a soda can top and a plastic cup. My only complaint is it can be difficult getting to all the boba from this kind of top. Overall I enjoyed my experience. I will be back once they have Mochi Donuts (which I was told will be this upcoming week). read more

I've been coming here sporadically since they opened because my kids like the donuts and there aren't a lot of options at the PV Mall. But, I'm surprised they're still in business at this point. In the afternoon and evening, which is high traffic time for the location, the donuts aren't fresh or particularly flavorful. The boba drinks are overly sweet and the boba itself is low quality and not fresh. I can't speak to the corn dogs, but I imagine they aren't any better. The staff here is generally pretty rude and unprofessional, which I would look past if they had other things going for them. Straw that broke the camels back came today when I went to buy a gift card for a friend. Bought a $50 gift card and asked for a receipt to show the balance. They couldn't provide the receipt with the balance but I didn't think much of it and I was in a rush. After I left, I realized the gift card says "1 Dozen" and there's no PIN number or magnetic strip to load a balance. I called the store to verify the balance and ask how they track balances. The employee told me he didn't know, seemed confused, and asked if he could call me back. Didn't ask for my name or call back info. Ultimately I'm going to have to charge back my through my credit card company. These are the things that doom niche businesses like this. I look forward to whatever business takes over this space next. read more

It was the groups first time checking out Mochinut. Once arriving, the location was easy to spot due to being next to the parking lot. We were in the front entrance in no time! Once in the location we noticed the amount of space and tables, as well as outdoor seating with umbrellas . This is a very good location to come to if needing to get some work done, especially with wifi being available. The music was a good touch and the place felt very welcoming. The group ordered a total of 3 donuts for the price of $10 which is great value due to the uniqueness and different variety of donuts they provide. The donuts that we ordered were the Nutella, Milk Pebbles, and the Choco Snow The Nutella Donut: WITH ONE BITE, YOULL BE HOOKED! Very chocolaty, sugary, and creamy Milk Pebbles: the milk pebbles donut was very tasty, each bite was filled with flavor, it left me with an after taste which was very pleasing. Choco Snow Donut: very chocolaty and got very addicting with each bite. This donut reminds me of a calm and cozy morning by a campfire. THE ENTIRE GROUP CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THESE DONUTS ARE BETTER THANY KRISPY KREME!!!!! Overall this new experience at Mochinut was excellent! The group all agreed of checking this place out again to try out more delicious options. read more
