Mochinut

A donut place like no other I've tried before! The donuts are such a cute shape! My favourite menu item was the huge potato and mozzarella corn dogs covered in chopped up french fry squares! It was much bigger than expected. This place is very good value as well as having a relaxed, cool, pastel vibe.

Fun donuts ! I got a bunch of different ones, my favorite was this s’mores one I think. They are different and have a fried dough consistency like something you would get at the state fair rather than a traditional donut. The employees were nice. They have lots of other food and drink too but definitely try one of these donuts.

Tried a hot cheetos half and half, a potato half and half, taro pebbles and a churros mochi donut. The hot cheetos corn dog was better than another one I had elsewhere. It's actually spicy! I ate about half of the corn dog b/c they're very filling! There are 2 small tables and some bar seats. Store is small.

Super friendly staff at the store just before closing. Store is quite clean. There are usually some small tables with chairs outside on the porch area. We tried 6 mochi donuts: churro, original glazed, chocolate, and ube pebbles. Some metered parking out front, otherwise - need to park in the residential area nearby.

I randomly chose to try out this location and was not disappointed. I tried out the Brown Sugar boba and Milk Tea boba, with a half o dozen donuts ❤️ It was clean and had a cute lil set up. I recommend, but have some extra $$ for the prices.

I have been many Mochinut and this is the best place. They have all the Mochinut on display, and you can choose your what you want. Ricky was on the counter, and his service was good. I also loved their drinks. I tried their Boba drinks and our entire family loved it. I highly recommend this Mochinut!!!

I am a donut fan in general and that includes all creative variations. Mochinut has a donut/mochi hybrid style of donut that is quite tasty. They seem to be chewier than a standard donut. I don't know enough about mochi to compare. But as a donut, it was worth trying out.

We were walking by and decided to stop in. Very friendly service and great tasting, light donuts!

Came here on New Year's day to meet up friends for a snack and boba before dinner. There were plenty of street parking available given that it's a holiday. I'm also told there's some in the back of the building. We walked in and were quickly greeted. We tried the matcha and taro crunch mochinuts. The taro was delicious 5/5, and the matcha was 3.5/5. We also ordered the milk tea, ube milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and coffee milk tea. I came in with low expectations on the boba but surprisingly I really enjoyed my ube. I also found the cups with the aluminum can lids to be very unique! The store has a few tables and counter for seating as well as an outdoor area. A very simple no frills design interior. I would recommend checking it out if you're in the Melrose Fairfax shopping area!

Tried this place for some mochi donuts. Located in some street storefront with other stores. only street parking. place is small. no seat. purely order to go. small simple menu with korean cheese corn dogs and mochi donuts. ordered what i came for. the donuts are all premade sitting in a rack so ordered thier cookies and cream. total damage $4. waited 1min and got the food. and the verdict. its ok. nothing special. same quality what you get at ralphs. just because it was made with mochi didnt make it any better. i rather eat kripsy kreme which is cheaper. speaking of price, the fact it was $4 for the quality and portion just doesnt make sense to buy again. not worth the price. oh well tried it once and now off to the next food adventure.

Ever since I've had a Mochinut donut, other donuts just don't hit the same. Seriously, they're so tender, and soft, and perfect. I've never had a bad experience. I work across from this location, parking is pretty bad not gonna lie. I would Uber here or have someone drop you off and circle the block because the meters are all usually taken after 11am. You can also order an order for pickup via Postmates. The workers are friendly, especially who I think is the owner, who has helped me out before. It's a small shop, about as small as the location in Ktown. My favorite flavors are...all of them. Mochinut is the only donut shop I'm not ever picky with. It's a bit on the pricy side and that's my only knock. $40+ for a dozen! There is an app called Too Good To Go however that allows you to pick up any leftover donuts from them for only $5. This app allows you to pick up goodie bags (you often don't know what's in them) from restaurants who have leftover food from the day. Mochinut is on there, and I believe if you swing by around 7pm they'll give you a bag of donuts for only $5. Definitely check it out.

Amazing customer service. The moment I walked into the doors, the staff had put a smile on my face. I definitely will be back due to the kindness and warming business. The donuts are very fresh, soft and delicious. They have many different flavors. I definitely will be back. Thank you so much.!!!

Just no. Service 0, donuts 0. No flavor what so ever. And there were only 7 basic flavors. Such a shame

Mochinut is amazing and the taste of donuts are great. My favorite thing to buy are the boba's and I definitely recommend trying them.

I have been wanting to try a Mochi Donut bc hey, I'm gluten free and it's a rare treat to get a real fried donut. Well, I asked that cashier what was her fave flavor and she said churro and yes, it's really good, if you like churros. I haven't eaten a corn dog in forever and wanted a savory something so I got it. However, now my hair and clothes smell like deep fryer bc they don't have a good vent from their kitchen. Next time, I'll wait outside if they gonna be frying. I took a photo at home to show that the mochi dough to hot dog ratio could have been thinner. It was more dough than hot dog, and I wanted to taste the hot dog more. Not a place to hang out but I like it enough that I'll come back - not wearing nice clothes.

This was my first time trying a mochinut! I got about 6 different ones. I really like this more than a normal donut because of the chewy consistancy. If you like more chewy donuts, you'll like this! The store wasn't busy at all, but I did go 20 minutes before closing. They have so many different donuts to choose from. This is wht I opted for: Chocolate Original Nutella Milk Pebble Churro There wasn't a bad mochi donut in the bunch. These are best eaten right away as they lose the chewy consistency once they've sat for a while. BUT if you put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds, it'll taste just great. I didn't try their hot dogs this time. I know it takes some time to make so I'll have to come back again.

I absolutely love mochinut. Every flavor is hit! You can't go wrong with any of the flavors. The mochi is just the right amount of chewy. From what I gathered, the mochi or donut isn't flavored, it's just the topping that's flavored. Most of the flavors are on the sweeter side. Parking can be difficult as it's just street, metered parking on Melrose.

I recently visited this wonderful restaurant, and without a doubt, it's a fantastic place deserving of a solid 4-star rating. Although it's part of a chain, the experience here is consistently delightful. Every time I order the original mozzarella sticks, they arrive super fresh and satisfyingly cheesy. It's a treat that never disappoints. Another highlight is their fresh donuts, which they seem to keep surprising guests with new flavors almost every other day. It's a lovely touch that adds a bit of excitement to each visit. Their drink selection is diverse, ranging from classic strawberry milk to more unique options like brown sugar beverages. There's something for everyone's taste, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant's indoor dining area with air conditioning is a blessing on hot summer days, providing a comfortable setting to savor the delicious food. For those who prefer a breath of fresh air, they also offer outdoor seating that's perfect for enjoying the cooler evenings. Though it might not be a 5-star rating, there's no denying that this place is a great spot to enjoy flavorful food in a pleasant atmosphere. Whether you're a loyal patron or a first-time visitor, you're sure to have a satisfying experience. This restaurant's consistent freshness, variety of offerings, and comfortable dining options make it a standout choice in the chain dining scene. I highly recommend paying a visit and indulging in their delectable treats.

I can only speak to the boba, but the rest of the menu looked amazing. Food seemed to be a priority, as the bubble tea was good be tough to compare to other places around LA. The brown sugar milk base was tasty, picturesque when initially poured. However, the boba balls themselves lacked flavor. Perfect consistency and amount in the drink, but the balls themselves could have been a touch sweeter. Otherwise, cute shop and very sweet gentleman behind the counter.

A solid mochi donut place with kind service. They have free 10 minute parking right in front of their store, which is extremely appreciated given how busy this street is! Was able to snag a Too Good To Go bag from them--it was well worth it and pick up was smooth. Will definitely look for a chance to stop by again when I'm craving mochi donuts. Thank you!

This place is great and has a nice little storefront off Melrose. The mochi donuts were great but they didn't have the matcha one I wanted to try. Their hazelnut is delicious would recommend it.

Strictly rating the mochinut I would give that a 10/10! So soft and chewy and loved the flavor. I see myself making another trip very soon for this! We also got the korean potato dog and cheese dog they were good but nothing crazy. If I were near a mochinut I would get one but I wouldn't go out of my way to go get one Also tried their milk teas. I had the matcha one and my friend got the brown sugar. Not recommended on either. They both tasted like straight milk and the tiny Matcha flavor I was able to taste didn't taste like a good quality matcha.

They changed the recipe of the Thai Tea and it's like drinking perfume. HORRIBLE. I called to get a refund and they said no, it's just my taste buds!! Lol for that I will never support their business again. Also there Mochi Donut was not their norm. They probably cut corners there too.

I guess Mochinut locations are all over the city. I got great service at this location. The interior is also very charming. I had the Mochi Mozzarella Dog for the first time, and I thought it was delicious. A pleasant surprise on Melrose Blvd.

The spot to get your mochi donuts for sure. These tasty treats are the best to bring for family parties. I love how you can break apart the pieces and share the flavors with other friends. Honesty this is by far the best thing to get everytime. I did try the Korean corn dogs and it was pretty good. Wouldn't say it was my favorite, but still good. I also loved the way the boba sugar pearl drink came to me. I've never seen it in a can type cup like that before. Loved that taste of it as well!

Cashier was so polite and helpful definitely would come again..she's really nice. BUT the owner or the guy whom is in the back oh lord he is so rude to the cashier. He did not care that customers were there he yelled at her as if she was doing something wrong, when all she did was asked him which hot dog was my order..for me I'm given g it 5 stars for her but him honestly it's a no

Great service, the food and drinks are really good. Clean atmosphere and nice location in melrose

I'm not a huge fan of mochinut but I know everyone else is, so I stopped by to get a box and some hot dogs. The service for the hot dogs is really slow so don't get them if you're in a rush. I've been waiting for a good 10 mins as I'm patiently waiting and writing this review and they're still not ready. Had I known it took this long, I would've only gotten the donuts. The hot dogs are also pretty pricey. $6 for the specialty half and half.... I got 4 hot dogs and a dozen donuts and spent $60. I wouldn't personally buy them for myself. Parking is also very difficult.

We stayed near melrose for our trip to Cali & walked down melrose. We stopped by Mochinut because I love a good Mochi donut. We got the taro & ube donuts and damn, so good. Our favorite was the ube one. There menu is a little deceiving because it says for oat/almond milk it's an extra dollar. We wanted the coffee boba with oat milk, but the drinks are essentially pre made so you can't substitute for the milk teas. I'm sure you can for the other coffee/drink options. We tried the crispy ramen mozzarella corn dog and it was so good! Comes out hot & was definitely worth trying! Would come back.

Mochinut is my new addiction. I love every single stuff they have. Service in this location is always friendly.

While parking on Melrose isn't always easy, if you find a spot, this place is worth a quick trip. One Mochinut will cost you $3.50 it is worth the little splurge to get 3 for $9. I tried the Cookies and Cream, Taro, and Original. The Taro had a great fruity sweetness to it. Not sure I would know it was Taro if I closed my eyes but it was still tasty. You can never really go wrong with cookies and cream or glazed. I was lucky to get there when they were fresh and super delicious. The little connected balls makes it easy to share, split, or save some for later.

We stopped in one morning while bumbling around Hollywood haven't the slightest idea what or where we were going like the awful tourists we were - but it led us to this place and I was so thankful and impressed! We got there right as they opened and ordered a bubble tea and few flavored mochinuts- which we've never had before and just basically had a chewier texture - but we ate them in seconds! The staff was so helpful and friendly too. Amazing little find!

Yuck! We won't come back. For reference, we're VERY easy to please and this was our dinner, so even if it's gross we'll eat it regardless. To add, we had high hopes for this place from the many high rating reviews on Yelp and numerous TikTok videos. Even after all this, I have to leave this 2-star review because we didn't expect what happened next... PARKING (1/5 stars): * There's practically no parking and if you pay for parking it's only for 15 minutes and our order took about that long to make. The parking is included because you'll have to park 3 blocks away for free parking (or just not come here at all). GLAZE MOCHINUT (5/5 stars): * The donut is so light and airy that a light glaze is more appropriate. That's why this was the most pleasurable and delightful thing on the menu! It's comparable to a regular glazed donut from Vons or Randy's Donuts in Downey, but definitely more chewy which I quite enjoy. Like I said, we're easy to please so you can trust our reviews are honest! CHOCOLATE GLAZE MOCHINUT (3/5 stars): * The donut itself is very light so you taste more of the heavy glaze than the donut itself, which isn't overwhelming and not appetizing. CEREAL GLAZE MOCHINUT (2/5 stars): * Too sweet and I was glad it was small because it was hard to finish. The purple is cute though so I can't give it 1 star. HOT CHEETO MOZZARELLA (1/5 stars): * The cheese is flavorless (and doesn't add anything) so it amplified the DISGUSTING, PUTRID flavor of that dreadful breading. The breading wasn't even reminiscent of hot Cheetos, instead it tastes like the oil was either old or like hot Cheetos shouldn't be fried because they taste like a$$. HOT CHEETO HOT DOG (1/5 stars): * The breading was greasy and soggy which was very hard to choke down. Then getting to the actual hotdog was the highlight because they didn't make it. I took off the breading and just ate the hot dog because the breading tastes like spoiled oil or like tsome type of funky weird flavor I've never had before. Gross! Overall, I do not recommend this place for their lack of parking, terrible hot Cheeto covered hot dogs and mozzarella, donuts that are too light to be paired with heavy overly-sweet glaze, terrible aftertaste, and after getting a terrible headache from this ordeal. I really wish our experience went better because I had high hopes for this place.

Melt in your mouth Mochi. Melrose Location *Make sure to check their Instagram for the flavors that day I was very surprised when I heard that a few coworkers have never had Mochinut before, so I decided to order two dozen. It was beyond easy to order online, and you can set it for that day or a few days in advanced. They do have promotions all the time so the one that I received was buy 12 get 2 free. We tried quite a few different flavors and they were all delicious. My personal favorite was the chocolate churro. I also love the mozzarella corndogs with sugar. It may seem like a strange combination, but it works and is absolutely amazing. There is plenty of parking on the street and in the neighbor close by. They do have a few tables for outdoor seating outside as well. If you have never tried Mochinut THIS IS YOUR SIGN. I promise it is worth it! Truthfully, I like it more than regular donuts. I plan on coming back and will probably turn Mochinut into my potluck go to. Overall Delicious 10/10!

Stopped by here while waiting for brunch nearby. We picked up some donuts - Taro Pebble, Sakura Latte, and Lemon. The taro flavor was quite sweet, the sakura one tasted like strawberry to me, and the lemon had a great zesty flavor. As for the texture of the donut, it was perfectly soft and chewy. I'd try their other flavors one day!

OKay WOW how had I never been here before? Not usually a big donut person, but that's okay cus this isn't really a donut. I also love that it's very convenient for portion control if you like to lie to yourself like I do and pretend like you're only gonna eat half. Delicious, love the sweeter flavors best. The blueberry was okay, but the dulce de leche one was CHEF'S KISS.

I love donuts!!! But these ones are just super super yummy!!! Staff was very nice and welcoming! There was so many choices I couldn't choose quickly I got the last taro yummy donut !! Soo good We also ordered a Thai Boba drink wow !! It was super cute how they package it as well and what looks like a plastic can. I didn't take photos of it sorry something you have to see for yourself! Over all 5 stars I can't wait to go back and try more

Finally got to try Mochinut after driving by their new Melrose location a few times. I popped in on a Saturday afternoon and parking took a few minutes to find, but not bad given the area. Their flavors of the day were: Chocolate, Churro, Tiramisu, Taro Pebble, Raspberry, Cookies & Cream and Original. I grabbed the Raspberry, Chocolate and Tiramisu for a friend and the Churro for myself after the kind woman working there recommended it to me. The Churro was amazing, the texture was bouncy and spongy and just awesome. Perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. My friend really enjoyed the chocolate and raspberry. The donuts present really well and prices are fair. I will be back to try some more flavors!

The flavors I tried this time around: Thai tea - I couldn't taste the Thai tea flavor. Pistachio - Definitely nutty flavor to it. I liked it. Raspberry - My favorite of the three. Most flavor. I absolutely love the consistency of the mochi doughnuts. The chewiness is a foodgasm. Staff as helpful and attentive to my questions. I also had iced brewed coffee which has the caffeine jolt if you need one.

So moist! I had never tried these before until a patient brought some to the hospital for us and I had to go back and get a box for myself lol. Staff is amazing and so helpful and the vibe/inside of the location is really nice and cute as well! 10/10 recommend.

Came here on the soft opening day and tried four of the flavors - you have to buy minimum 3, which I wish wasn't the case because sometimes I just like to try one or two at a time. I got the Nutella, Matcha Oreo, Churro and Earl Grey. The Nutella one came right off the oven and was warm and delicious- they are not like your usual donuts but more of a sticky donut. The Oreo on the matcha one tasted a little too soft but it was still good. Definitely recommend check them out if you have never tried mochi donuts.

Absolutely love Mochinut! After my first time trying this type of donut, I was hooked! The donuts are more moist than regular ones, and soft, which makes their texture so unique and tasty!! Plus, Mochinut always has a variety of flavors they shift through, so you're never out of options! I personally recommend the Raspberry, Taro or Churro flavors when they're available. It is pricy (half dozen for $15, dozen for $30), but definitely worth it! The location on Melrose Ave is excellent! Very friendly staff.

I have been many Mochinut and this is the best place. They have all the Mochinut on display, and you can choose your what you want. Ricky was on the counter, and his service was good. I also loved their drinks. I tried their Boba drinks and our entire family loved it. I highly recommend this Mochinut!!!

Absolutely amazing! The donuts are cute and DELICIOUS! I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did but now I cannot wait to come get more. So tasty!

We stopped in the other day walking down melrose- I've never had a mochi donut and thought it sounded so interesting! They rotate flavors and had 6 options. We tried the Nutella, mango, and caramel macchiato. I think the price is definitely fair. We absolutely loved the texture of the dough! It is chewy- similar to mochi. They also kept really fresh- I finished one the next morning. I like that they are little balls linked, it makes it super easy to share. The only thing is that the flavors are a little lacking- nothing is super flavorful. I love a good flavored donut and you don't really get that from these- they're more light/airy. Very cool concept!

Very delicious donuts with nice staff! The donut with mochi was filled with amazing texture and flavor. I got the chocolate, ube, cookies and cream, and dolce de leche. Would highly recommend!

I luuuuuuv Korean hotdogs. Always a good choice. Mochinut donuts are delicious. They have so many different flavors, it's ideal to get a variety and try them all. The unique texture and shape makes them very different from the standard donut. My favorite flavors are the chocolate and the black sugar.

Food is good. Customer service is terrible. The male cashier barks orders and doesn't let you finish your sentence. I was quite taken aback as the male cashier keeps cutting you off and has bad manners. The management here should train their staff properly. All in all, this bad customer service reflects poorly on management. The female worker was really nice though and had good customer service. The boba is not as shown in the pictures. The size is much smaller and the cup isn't attractive like the photo. False advertising. I believe it's a tactic by the shop owner to cut down on costs. The hot dogs were really tasty. My favorite is the Hot Cheeto Half and Half.

What an inventive way to eat mochi! If you're not a huge fan of the cold mochi or don't like the ultra chewiness, but still crave whatever it is that makes it delicious. Then give it a try. And... gotta try the Taro one. I don't care what else you get. If you don't try the taro, then..... You just gotta trust me. Try it.

The donuts are really good! I don't think mine were as fresh as they could've been, hence the 4 star rating but I'd still recommend it

Melrose Ave is already full of monumental eats and adventurous flavor so it isn't surprising that a couple doors down from the marvelous Sugar Taco is a dessert delight called Mochinut. Mochinut is a cute mochi donut shop that serves anything from boba milk tea to dazzling corn dogs. I am a boba fanatic so I ordered the taro boba milk tea which has never been a disappointment in my life. The streak continued like pre-Brock Lesnar era Undertaker at Wrestlemania. The boba tea was a swirl of creamy milk tea with the cereal flavor of taro and chewy tapioca. What stood out was the can they served it in. A tall, see-through soda can where all was presented like a boba exhibitionist was given to me. I was enthralled. Cracking it open on a sunny LA day while eating the soft mochi donuts made fresh was a paradise. Buy the donuts in threes, as it is cheaper than buying two value wise. The fruity pebble donuts were nostalgic and the mint chocolate was sweet but mature for the sight before me. I felt like I was an adult watching Saturday morning cartoons with my inner child sitting next to me. Coupled with a smiling and helpful staff and the fact I ate the dessert with the most beautiful woman in the world made it an incredible way to spend an early afternoon.

I always walked past this store since it opened because I frequent the pampered hands nail salon next door. I believe it was a poke bowl place prior. I don't eat seafood so I never ate at the prior restaurant but I sure do eat anything ube/taro! I finally made it in since a friend wanted to try it out and what's better than a boba drink on a hot day?! Drink: ube milk tea & taro mochi donut. Both are delish! I would def head back to try other flavors. Seems to have a decent in/out walk in traffic. Seating: we were fortunate to be able to have a seat at the only table available outside the business. Wish there were more seating so that's the only downfall. Parking: street (meter) or residential. Would def go back and they were kind enough to give me a little bowl with water for my fury friend.

Our new go to place! My only wish is that they can make the drinks into slushy and can still use the straw to drink. Either way, it's very good.

Nice mochinut, chewy texture. Nicely decorated, taste wise is too sweet for me, raspberry is great, tiramisu and blueberry are way too sweet to my liking. Average around $2.50 each.

So glad this place has finally opened! I always drive by and see this little shop. Ordered one of each donut for the day! Original, coconut, strawberry, churro, black sea sesame, and biscoff mochi donuts! They all tasted delicious! I love how all the donuts have a nice bounce and chewy texture. It is my favorite kind of donut! I love how they have different kinds of flavors all the time! I really want to try the blueberry someday! Service was great! Seems like this place just opened & they deserve all the business during covid.

Would not recommend the Thai tea! I feel like it's kind of hard to mess up Thai tea but it tasted too watery and it was pretty small for $5.80.

So glad we have mochi donuts here in LA now!! This mochinut location just opened but they have it all down pat! Located in prime West Hollywood/Fairfax with plenty of street parking right on Melrose. The shop is super cute with an Instagram worthy neon sign and wall inside and out. Their flavors change every couple days but I followed their Instagram to check their daily flavors. Their lotus biscoff comes with a full biscoff cookie on top and their fresh strawberry has real freeze dried strawberries on top. They have all flavors on display but safely behind tall glass and the donuts are perfectly chewy like mochi on the inside and a bit crunchy on the outside and not too sweet. I love that you can buy just one, three, six or a dozen and you can mix and match flavors. I like to think that they make them rounded so it's a perfect bite and for moderation but who am I kidding, I could eat six just sitting in my car in front of the store. They also have really good coffee, iced lattes with syrup like caramel and hazelnut and milk alternatives. The owner was in when we visited and he was super nice along with the other worker. I love supporting small businesses and can't imagine how tough it is to be opening in the middle of a global pandemic so I'll be sure to be back soon! Their store was super safe with glass barriers, everyone wearing masks and social distancing protocols because of COVID. My only regret is that I wish I ordered more. But I'll be back!

I've been to all the other Mochinut Locations. Picked up an assortment of donuts on 1/21/23 and the dough was way too thick and doughy. Not light and chewy like I'm used to. Also it had a bad taste of oil on them. Barely ate any of the donuts. Might have been an off night but definitely was not good at this location!
