It feels a little confusing when when Mochinut, Sul Bing Su, and ChungChun (#1) all share one space. It's neither like those semi-rando fast food chain splits (#2) nor a food court with multiple stalls. This is the same kitchen, yet not exactly a ghost kitchen either. It just means we can order a bing su, soft serve, donuts, Korean corn dogs, and mochi donuts at the same time (#3). This review is really for the latter.
While mochi donuts are a reality in Houston now, there still isn't much saturation market wise. This location is one of the only places where one can get some. Their donuts are most definitely true to mochi form, embodying what really made Mochinut as a brand take off in the first place.
With every bite, there's a little density and a lot of chew. The donuts come in a variety of flavors, which include gummy (bears), fruity pebbles, yuzu, churro, oreo, ube, and nutella. Ube has been the winner for me so far but I'm always looking forward to their seasonal flavors come Fall.
Service is going to vary, since it's likely everyone is in line is there for something different. They were really slow in the past, but I think they've gotten better over time. The advantage of ordering donuts is that they are right behind the counter, where as every other food item needs to be made to order. These donuts are the real deal, but they are unlikely to be better options than what is available in SoCal or NYC.

(#2) KFC and a Subway at the same time? Don't mind if we do. Actually, I mind.
(#3) Which is also sort of cool too.
