    What's not to love! Chewy mochi donuts are always better than regular dented over fried over decorated traditional donuts. Food is great here, not crazy about the deep fryer smells though. Cute ambiance but smell of deep fried air- not pleasant. Service is prompt. Donuts! The best. Not for a hangout but for grand and go. I love their matcha and strawberry anything. Oreos are good too but the best is their matcha/ Ube. Less sweet versions. And they are way too pretty!!

    I got a half & half with sweet potato crust, and my bf got the monster cheese with a golden potato crust. The monster cheese is all mozzarella wrapped in cheddar cheese and it tasted so good like a grilled cheese! I also loved the sweet potato crust it was extra but worth it! Service was timely and the staff are all friendly and helpful. My only complaint was it was a little dirty in there and the tables are sticky with crumbs all over.

    Great location, lobby was clean. Lobby is a little small maybe 4 seating areas. Cashier was patient & helpful Donuts are definitely something different. Korean corn dogs also something different to try, Coffee was very yummy

    I just bought a dozen for a friend's poker night. They looked great, and were a hit. 10/10. Perfect for the evening. Service was generous and really nice to hang out. The restaurant was clean and menu was easy to understand. Donuts were great and we all had a good time.

    We were at U-Village over the holidays, while shopping and walking around, we decided to stop by Mochinut to grab a "donut". Tough to choose, so we took a few minutes to decide. You order at a tablet, the employees there won't take your order so you don't need to stand there waiting for them like I did. Ooops. We got 2 mochinuts, one Nutella and one Matcha. Took a few minutes to call your name as they plated it up. It was pretty good, I had a mochinut a few years before, it tasted same as I remembered it. Good mochi chew, tasty flavor and sweet snack. It's a small place, not much room to sit but we were able to slide into a spot. A lot of people taking photos for the 'gram. They have other items like corndogs, drinks, and some items that I didn't pay attention to. Even though it was pretty good but maybe mochinuts aren't my thing if I am craving a "donut", I would get a donut.

    I found the food here disappointing. The space is clean, and the decor is fun, but the food pulls the rating down. My mochinuts around 2 pm were not fresh, and it showed. They tasted more than just a few hours old--they tasted day/s old. Love the concept. Love the look. Did not like the food. I wonder if it would be better if it were fresher.

    1/2 1/2 sweet potato with no sugar. Perfect! Didn't need a sugar coating.

    This was a great mid morning stop for a once-in-a-while treat. My partner and I shared a coffee-donut combo and a half/half rice dog / mozz with a sweet potato coating and no extra sugar. It was perfect with no extra sugar for our liking. Our coffee was the iced ube haze with cream, light sugar. So yummy! I actually liked checking out on their screen here because u could see all of the extra options like choosing the light sugar or being able to see the whole list of dipping sauce options. Overall it's a calorie heavy, grease and sugar dense stop but a delicious one at that. Always a line so pack your patience!

    Mochinut was very busy, but the line moved fast. The coffee that we tried was delicious especially the tiger sugar coffee. Doughnuts were also delicious. Ambiance was a small store front with tables and chairs to dine fast and go.

    Never tried Mochinut's bubble tea before, but I am definitely now a fan! I always strayed away from Mochinut because I never liked their donuts in comparison to another's but now I have a reason to visit them more often. My friends and I decided to stop in after dinner for our own dessert. One of our friends had already tried this place before and has said her go to order that never misses is Tiger Sugar Fresh Milk w/ Boba. Our other friend decided to give it a try and loved hoe sugary it was. I decided to try the Ube Fresh Milk w/ Boba and it definitely on point with the flavor and boba as well. Not sticky and just the right texture. Once i ordered, took about 5 minutes to get my drink. Line was pretty long (a bit out the door at around 5 pm). Overall, I will definitely come back again for their bubble tea.

    I stopped by the ever evolving University Village post holiday rush in search of Mochinut, located in the former Menchie's site (1/3/24). It is still in soft opening mode through tomorrow. The friendly counter person told me of the upcoming grand opening specials starting on Fri 1/5/24 through Sun 1/7/24 (see attached photos). I stopped in right at the 11am opening and had a chance to glance around while in line. Bright interior, two focal walls, overhead menu, and of course, mochi doughnut display and the pastry case. Literally, the retail shop and now my car has such a tantalizing fresh scent! I ordered one of each/half a dozen for $19 and a Tiger Sugar Fresh Milk with Boba for $6.50, before tax & tip. I've never had Dochi, but tried Mochinut (w/Happy Lemon in Edmonds) and Milkvue (by the Space Needle). Always a nice chew and spectrum of Asian inspired flavors. A nice treat to celebrate the start of winter quarter at nearby University of Washington - Seattle campus! A terrific addition to the retail, cafe, restaurant collection at Seattle's University Village.

    Mochinut is simply... doughlightful! Not your average donut. It's delicious, fast, and rarely crowded. I've had donuts from several places, and Mochinut has still been my favorite. The texture is spot-on--the perfect blend of soft and chewy. But the flavor is really where it shines. The sweet and tangyness of the toppings are a flavor explosion in your mouth! The only close second I would say is Mr. Donut in Taiwan, but that's mostly anchored on price (only ~$1 there, versus almost $4 here). But the flavor of Mochinut, I think, slightly outshines that of Mr. Donut, probably because of my sweet American palette (Mochinut is a bit sweeter than Mr. Donut) Overall, Mochinut definitely takes the cake, or in this case, takes the donut! If you're looking for the best mochi donut experience in Seattle, and possibly the world, donut delay!

    The store itself is pretty small with very minimal seating. The line was pretty long when we went on a Friday night. I got one donut flavor. The sesame ball donut was very yummy. I enjoyed it. The corn dog on the other hand was not a good experience. It was SO BURNT. This was an incredibly disappointing experience since we were excited to get it. It is also pretty weird that they only let you pick one sauce. Most other places will let you get multiple different sauces.

    Delicious mochi donuts! They also offer Korean hot dogs and drinks. There is usually a line on the weekend. Hot dogs and drinks take a while.

Time without number I've found myself here, be that first dates, my birthday, or New Year's Eve, and it always feels like home. If home were a clown/carnival themed acid trip of a pinball arcade bar, that is. And what's not to love about that? The bar tenders here are cool and friendly people who pour drinks with a heavy hand, and understand the mission: get the patrons who want to be drunk, drunk. The first few times I visited, I felt a leeriness about ordering food. But once I got over myself, I kinda fell in love with the menu, and I've probably eaten everything on it (including the clam chowder). Their hot dogs are wonders to behold, utter symphonies for the senses, and I refuse to visit Shorty's without getting one. Best dog in Seattle? Why yes. I think so. To paraphrase one reviewer: "Take your date here. If she doesn't like it, she's lame and you shouldn't waste your time with her anyways." Shorty's is the bomb.

I ended up ordering a drink for myself while the guys were looking at the menu because they were doing a food hop, and us girls were doing a bar hop. During that time, the bartender came back to our table at least four times within about five minutes. Instead of being attentive, it felt pushy and aggressive, especially since they were still deciding what they wanted. I've been here a few times before, but after this experience, this will definitely be my last visit.

The lady running the store was extremely nice, especially to my daughter (which always wins extra points from me!). I of course ordered the Seattle dog. They had various condiments and toppings available on the side including ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, pickles and pickled carrots. It was just the perfect amount of food with lots of flavors. After we were done eating, we came by the stand to grab some napkins and the lady asked us how the food was. I thought it was a nice gesture. She really didn't have to say anything and she had quite a few customers in line. She was able to multitask and provide excellent service to every customer. This is a hotdog stand. There are no tables. Condiments and napkins are all self-service. Each hot dog was $12 (this already includes sales tax and tipping is optional).
