We came into Mochinut around opening time so the donuts were fresh. However we were rather disappointed with the available selection - their website lists a ton of great (Asian) flavors like black sesame, ube, matcha, and melon but on our visit they only had very boring western flavors like cinnamon roll and some cereal flavor.
We got the plain, which was decorated with a thick layer of icing and colored sprinkles. The donut itself was pretty good - crisp on the outside with that mochi mochi chewiness inside. But we really did not like the plain vanilla icing - it was that powdered sugar and milk type that you find on a Safeway donut - and there was way too much. Coco donuts does a better mochi donut.
We also tried the Mochinut balls filled with ube cream. They looked bad, to be honest - just a very brown, crisp exterior, but they were pretty good. The ube cream wasn't too sweet or overpowering and the interior of the donut ball was moist and chewy.
The original corn dog was just that - a fried, rather greasy, Korean corn dog. Sausage was alright, very middling, as was the spicy cheddar dipping sauce.
I won't be back, mostly because I prefer less sweet mochi donuts in Asian flavors. We rather disappointed.
