I am not not a big mochi donut eater - my wife and daughter are. BUT I have to say MoDo mochi donuts are delicious. In particular, their donuts can easily pinched apart so you can enjoy one round 'bump' at a time.

I love their mochi donuts!!! Super delicious and I ordered it via DoorDash and it was still warm when I got it! The matcha, earl grey, and chocolate ones are really good! Haven’t tried their cookie flavor and sesame flavor but they look yummy already

Cute place for a quick snack. Love that the dohnuts are made to order! The staff was amazing and flavors really hit the spot. Definitely a spot worth trying!

MoDo continues to feed on pop culture. Leveraging dippings with flavorings like lilikoi, matcha, ube, passion fruit - aside from traditional ones - on plain vanilla 'pon de ring' donuts. Could not get any donuts with fillings; such a downer. Disappointed, to say the least. Drinks are okayish. Fad for Instagram types but do not weigh up to the premium price point.

If you like fresh hot mochi donuts Modo Hawaii is good for it. There are no pre-made donuts on display for sale. When you order the staff will make and dip fresh hot mochi donuts for your order. I like that they're not too sweet. You can also buy drinks, ice cream and poke bowls. Just make sure you bring some wet wipes as the donuts can get messy to eat from the icing but still really tasty.

If you like mochi donuts, I don't think you need to try these unless you are trying to catch them all. The dough of the mochi donuts are all the same so you are simply paying for different glazes. Now, those I find to taste quite similar but I don't have the most refined taste buds. But I did notice the texture of the icing to be more sticky than solid. It is probably due to the donut surface having gobs of oil. As for service and cleanliness, the other critical reviews have said it all. There are also no restrooms or trash cans. If the employees don't even have to deal with those frequently, I am unsure about where their efficiency lies.

My favorite place for Mochi Doughnuts!!! Fresh made after you order them. Light, Soft, warm, and delightful Flavors!! They also offer delicious ice creams and other drinks here too. All of the flavors are great but some of my favorites are Hawaii Passion Fruit( Lilikoi ), Pandan, Matcha, Ube, and Black Sesame. Glad I get to try the new Pumpkin Spice for the Holidays Season😂

I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of donuts. When offered a donut, I'm one of those people who says, "No thanks." I don't like the taste that lingers in my mouth after the first bite. However, this was a completely different experience. These donuts are made to order, not greasy, and are golden to perfection, light, and "melt in your mouth." The selection of flavors is plentiful enough not to be overwhelming but enough so you can try one of each. The amiable staff works hard to prepare your order as quickly as possible. I chose the following flavors: - Cookies & Cream - Churro - Black Sesame - Matcha - Ube - Lilikoi My favorite was the Lilikoi, which I highly recommend trying.

I remember when MoDo had pop ups at Mitsuwa market years back and am now so happy they have a brick and mortar shop. First and foremost, the mochi donuts are incredibly chewy with a solid flavor selection to choose from. Personally, I like the lilikoi flavor a lot. The staff were all nice and efficient in service. The store is quite small but there are seats outside in the surrounding area. As for the poke. This was such a wonderful addition to their set menu. There are few spots in the South Bay to get really great Hawaiian style poke and this one is up there. The portion in the like bowl is very generous and I wish they had a larger size. This spot is now in my rotation when I'm craving poke.

My boys and I love the mochi donut here. They had 50% off special today and I took advantage of ordering online and pickup the order with no wait. I got Ube, Oreo, sesame, and churros flavors. It was all very yummy! Check out this place if you haven't been.

Guys, these are the best mochi donuts in the bay. I've tried them all, you're welcome. Anyone who says otherwise has defective tastebuds. I will tell you why it's the best. They make them more or less fresh with a perfect dough batter that's not too oily, not too dense, hard, etc. It's perfectly soft, bouncy, tasty, and chewy. When they make it fresh, they also get the fresh hand dip or sugar coat. They are so good eaten right out of the store. But no fear if you have to partake later - you can reheat in the microwave for like 9 or so seconds, and they'll perk right back up. They're also surprisingly one of the cheaper mochi donuts you'll find in the bay, as prices of other places have gotten ridiculous since the pandemic. It's such a shame that the original Hawaii-based company closed down everything except this Santa Clara location, and sold it off to another owner. I purchased gift cards that I wasn't able to redeem anymore, but spoke with the current owner and they're honoring it out of their own pocket. This place is somehow not as popular as it should be; when they originally landed in the bay, the wait was hours long... like half a day basically at Mitsuwa Marketplace. They're trying to branch into other things like drinks, malasadas (not good, dough sucks), ice cream, and poke, but all they really need to do is the mochi donuts. I'm not sure what's up, but they're definitely trying with their cute social media content. They do pretty good promos and swap out seasonal flavors from time to time, so I suggest following their socials. My preference for flavors is: - Churro (very solid cinnamon sugar) - Houjicha (roasty tea) - Cookies & Cream (mild cream with very subtle chocolate) - Pandan (fragrant young coconut and vanilla-like) - Matcha Green Tea (good matcha, balanced creaminess) - Black Sesame (quite nutty and creamy) - Milk Chocolate (good chocolate quality, not too heavy on the milk) - Lilikoi (a little too tart for me) - Sugar (not fond of plain sugar)

My weekly sweet treat . They have daily special flavors so the options change here but my all time favorite has been yuzu, dark chocolate and cookies and cream. I've been going here since 2021 and it's always consistently fresh and delicious. My family loves when I bring a box of these over. Sometimes they have buy one get one free promo! The staff is so friendly and will take the time to tell you the specials and explain the flavor profiles of each flavor. They have really cute anime decor and it smells amazing when you walk in!

I went to a YEE at MoDo some time ago, and I kept them in the back of my mind for next time we wanted a sweet treat. This is in a busy complex in Santa Clara - lots of parking, but there are always cars coming in and out. We scored a spot right in front. I remembered really liking the black sesame donut, so I got one of those and also the mango which was a seasonal flavor. My companion got one milk chocolate and one ube, and he thought they looked very similar in color, but were good in taste. These donuts are very fresh and fluffy, and dipped in flavor to order. Since I was there last, we saw that they now sell poke (spicy or not) which you can get on rice or just get a portion to take home. They also had a deal on a half dozen if you go before 9 or 10 am which seemed like a good deal. There's not a place to eat in there, so everything really is to go!

MoDo Hawaii has the best and freshest mochi donuts! I've ordered a few dozen for my work before and everyone loved them. Today, I was craving a matcha and after seeing some photos of it, I stopped by. I was greeted by the man who worked there and he explained that they were sadly out of matcha. It sounds like it's sourced from Japan, so I'll have to try it next time. On the way out, I asked if he had any chopsticks and soy sauce (since I forgot to grab some with my lunch) and he kindly gave me some. In the middle of grabbing those items, he offered me to sample their spicy poke which was so unexpected and so kind! It's such a smart move for them to start selling poke and I can confirm that the spicy poke is really tasty!! It wasn't insanely spicy, but it kinda had a similar addictive flavor like hot cheetos or buldak ramen ? We really needed more poke spots for lunch in the area and I think this is a really solid choice! :)

Compared to other places, this place is LEGIT and has the best mochi donuts. I do remember the days when they were a pop up at Mitsuwa and I stood in line for 2 hours so much so I bought a ton to also give my "friends." This time I only ordered a ube mochi donut for $3. It stinks that ordering online there's a discounted price. Why 3 stars? The service was AWFUL to a tee. I don't know if it's because I ordered just one or she's having a bad day but the worker literally threw the box at me and gave me a groan. Plentiful free parking that may be difficult due to the different eateries and stores in the same plaza.

Their mochi donuts are always fresh and hand dipped with topping to order, but this time I visited during lunch and so I decided to try their poke offerings. Of course I couldn't decide on just one flavor so I got the half and half over rice. The mix of shoyu and spicy poke was perfect. It was a bit on the pricy side but I thought the quality of the fish was pretty decent and I was only able to finish half a bowl because there was a lot of poke. Note: There isn't any seating inside but this shopping plaza has a few benches around (including one shady bench right outside this shop).

If you are looking for poke in the Bay Area that tastes like it is fresh from Hawaii - Modo Hawaii in Santa Clara is your spot! We go to Hawaii yearly and always enjoy our poke from Foodland and whatnot and crave it when we are home. I've tried a few other market places in the area where I can get poke by the pound (Santo market, Aloha Fresh, etc.) and so far this is the best poke by the pound I've tried. The fish tasted fresh (texture and flavor) and it wasn't too heavily drowned in sauce! I've been purchasing the poke via Ubereats and Doordash, but do note it is $24/lb on the apps vs. $23 in person. I did notice today that they have a rewards program (1 point per $1 spent) but it is only for in store purchase. I got to try a matcha mochi donut since it was $3 off a minimum $25 spend offer on doordash and it was so tasty. I love that they have various deals (ex: June 6 it was donut day and they said buy 12 get 6 free). During weekday lunch, they have a buy 1 get 1 50% off for poke bowls - I have not yet had the opportunity to take advantage of that offer but one day I will! I'm glad I found this gem and have gone back twice.

Fresh, warm, and just the right amount of chewy--Mood Hawaii's made-to-order mochi donuts are a solid find. You pick the flavor, they coat it to perfection, and what you get is a pillowy bite that's hard to stop eating. Beyond the donuts, the shop has some cute items from local artists, adding to the charm. Definitely a spot I'd check out again if I'm ever back in the area.

I've always been a huge fan of the mochi donuts here (ever since their popups in Mitsuwa). They make their donuts fresh to order so it always tastes great. They also have a deal if you come before 10am. They recently added hawaiian poke to their menu and it's delicious! I got the spicy poke bowl and it was packed with fish. I'm craving it as I type this now.

We randomly stumbled across this spot and saw they had a 50% off deal on mochinut... so of course we had to try it. One turned into... a lot (oops). Honestly, no regrets!!! Actually, my only regret was not grabbing more! Every flavor we tried was amazing--matcha, pandan, lilikoi... basically all of them were a win. So good! Cannot wait for my next visit ;)

The best mochi donut spot in the bay!! Donuts are made to order and are always hot and fresh! Unlike other mochi donut spots, Modo doesn't give you donuts that have been sitting out all day. They fry and freshly dip each donut. In my opinion, they are the best in terms of texture and taste. When fresh, their exterior is crunchy and the middle is soft and mochi-like. I love the crunch and slight chewiness when eating these. They often rotate flavors, but some of my favorites are matcha, Illikoi, cookies & creme, chocolate, and black sesame. I much prefer to eat these donuts more than the traditional donuts when possible.

Small restaurant but spacious since there aren't any indoor seating. The worker greeted me and took my order and let me know how long to wait. which I appreciated since he took time out of fulfilling the previous customers order (which was a lot of boxes). The donuts were fresh and delicious. But the ube coffee stood out to me. That is now my new favorite coffee ever! And now anytime I'm in the area, I'm grabbing myself a nice delicious cup of ube coffee!

I've been coming here since a few years ago and MoDo never disappoints! I love that they've added some new options such as drinks and ice cream, although I haven't tried those yet. They also do some collaborations with local artists, so you can buy their work such as stickers and plushies. There can be a bit of a wait if there's a line since the staff dip each donut by hand. It's also pretty much a grab and go place though, so no seats inside to sit down and enjoy your donuts. The donuts don't feel oily yet they are very crispy and chewy at the same time. I enjoy trying their seasonal flavors, so every time I go there is something new.

Came on a weekday to order a dozen donuts. Luckily there was only one person in front of me because the service is slow. Your items are hand dipped to order. As I was waiting for my order to be dipped, 3 people came in and thr person took their order. Since I was in a rush, this irritated me a bit but there was nothing I could do... the tip didn't seem to make any difference. In any case, the mochi donuts were good. I would reorder black sesame and lilikoi. As for ambiance, there isn't much to the ambiance. You just walk up to the register and order, then stand around and wait or stare at the bulletin board.

I came here to check it out because I saw it on a reel and for their poke. Unfortunately, it looked good in the video but when you get there it's definitely not the hype they were making it out to be. The spicy poke and shoyu poke (3/5). Ordered a quarter pound for each and I've definitely had better poke. The thing is if you're gonna compare your poke from hawaii you need to make sure that it's that good and this was just okay. Been to hawaii one to many times and have tasted really good poke. Also the poke was in this metal tub in a cooler/refrigerator thing that just wasn't appealing at all with the paper menu sticked to the corner of the refrigerator. Strawberry matcha latte (3/5)- it didnt taste good probably because they used oatmilk cause they're out of any other kind of milk I guess so I tried it and yeah it wasnt good. Spam Musubi (4/5)- I like that it wasn't overly sauced and the spam and rice was cooked just right. Donuts (5/5)- strawberry and cookies and creme. This is what thy are known for and now I know why. It's very soft and airy the flavors are not overly sweet just the perfect amount of sugar. Highly recommend this and would love to try their other flavors. As for their service, I'm glad I got their first cause after 2 people had arrived service took long for other people. Im not sure what system they have going on there but it was a slow system. The other party who ordered after me only got 2 poke items which the other girl could've easily done but she kept asking the other guy what the order is when she could've just looked at it since the other guy was in the back making my drink. The store itself is a front store. They will make the front of the store look good and thats it. They had a nice artwork on the right wall and then some little items on a shelf for sale on the left wall. Come here for the donuts, the poke was okay.

You know that something is GOOD when an item is brought back for a SPECIAL due to HIGH DEMAND! Mahalo Modo for transporting me to the islands through this bowl of poke! Soo happy that the Valentine's Day special was on the Door dash menu! I ordered the 1 pound of Shoyu Poke and it was ono-licious! (Delicious :) ) I was amazed to see how HUGE the poke cubes were! The flavors of soy sauce and sesame oil were perfectly blended and complimented by white onion and green onions. The bowl was supeer FRESH! I do wish that the musubis were also an option on Door Dash so that I can have rice with the poke but I just made some at home! While this was ordered through Door Dash, I can say the restaurant packed my order safely and in good condition! Overall 4.5 rating! Please keep poke on your menu!

Modo Hawaii serves both mochi donuts and poke! Service was friendly and I saw that there's a mini game where you can try to win a free mochi donut if you press the time exactly at 10.00 secs. Very interactive. I didn't get a chance to try their donuts but got their poke! 18$ combo for half shoyu and half spicy mayo tuna. They packed that full! It was flavorful. Great place!!

Mo donuts Service: Welcoming, prompt and attentive Ambiance: cute, love the wall painting. Could use some seating for waiting on donuts Food: super yummy. We loved the Ube, tiramisu, matcha, and cookies and cream donuts the best. We liked that it was served hot. Least favorite was black sesame.

The place is small and there's no seating available. They have a small section where they sell their merch. It's nice that they provide a sign that has allergy info. Food(3/5): Lilikoi smelled really good and when I tried it, it was tangy and not too sweet. I tried one of their monthly flavors and it was the apple one. The apple flavor tasted off and the cinnamon was pretty strong. The ube one was pretty subtle in flavor but it was still good overall. Pandan was pretty good and the flavor was pretty strong. Matcha was pretty bitter but creamy. I felt like the bitterness hits the back of your tongue. Black sesame is usually my favorite and you can't really go wrong with it. This one tasted interesting. It had a salty aftertaste and it wasn't too sweet. The donuts itself were soft and chewy! Pandan Soy Latte(4/5): When I initially drank it, I barely tasted the pandan but after a while, the flavor gets stronger. It was very milky and creamy. Service(5/5): It was busy that day, but they got the order out as fast as possible! They were friendly and helpful as well!

Really fresh and tasty donuts! I watched as the workers made them and dipped them fresh as they packaged it up. I was here for a yelp event and got a variety of flavors which I thought were mostly good. The matcha one had a perfect amount of matcha bitterness that I liked without being too sweet. The cookies and cream / ube / pandan ones had flavors you'd expect but I appreciated that they also weren't overwhelmingly sweet. The lilikoi one was interesting and I personally don't think the flavor works too well but that's just a personal preference. Overall solid donuts

When Modo Hawaii closed their Southern California locations I was truly disappointed. Modo has the best mochi donuts. Their donuts are made fresh with every changing Hawaiian and Asian inspired flavors. The store is located in a busy strip mall with Target and other stores but it is very easy to go in/out. Luckily, we stayed in the Santa Clara area for a few days so we got a chance to visit and get our mochi fix. Boy, I miss their donuts. We heard some rumors that they might be making a return to Southern California in the near future. Let's hope that is true.

I grabbed some mochi donuts here with my partner on a Monday night right before closing, yet had a great experience! The place itself is small with no indoor seating, but there is a beautiful mural and lots of trinkets inside. Our server kindly took our order and we waited about 10 minutes before getting our warm donuts. I thought they were going to be cold since we came before closing, but was really appreciative how they made a new batch for us! We got two lilikoi, one pandan, one black sesame, one pumpkin spice, and one apple cinnamon. The lilikoi was really tart and sweet. Pandan was also sweet with a slightly artificial pandan flavor. Pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon were their holiday flavors, and they were warm and accurate to their description. My favorite was black sesame; it was nutty and not super sweet. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend for mochi donuts!

I went in on a Tuesday midday before Thanksgiving. It was quiet in the store but others came in after me. It was easy to park near by which wasn't always the case when Rowhouse was nearby especially with all the restaurants. I was greeted promptly. I was a ke to ask a couple questions due to allergies and quickly got responses. Staff seemed knowledgeable but also did double check on ingredients just in case which I appreciate. The strawberry soy hojicha was tasty. I've never had it before anywhere else so I don't have a comparison. The sweetness of the strawberry balanced the drink. The strawberry was a bit thicker like a preserve. I'd definitely try again and other things.

I stopped by this place with my boyfriend on a Monday evening and there were a few people ahead of me. My boyfriend and I are huge mochi donut fans and this place did not disappoint! We tried almost all the flavors: -Black Sesame Mochi Donut -Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) Mochi Donut -Cookies & Creme Mochi Donut -Pandan Mochi Donut -Matcha Mochi Donut -Ube Mochi Donut And our favorite has to be the black sesame one! The donuts are not too sweet and the perfect amount of chewiness.

Ambiance Quick grab and go spot for orders. There's a shelf with merchandise and lobby area to wait for the order to be completed. Customer Service Although there was a line of other customers ahead of me, I was greeted by the staff upon entering Modo. There were two employees working and fresh batches of donuts came out quickly for all of the customers waiting. Food Churro Cookies n' Cream Lilikoi Pandan Pumpkin Spice Ube The donuts were freshly made and piping hot. The churro donut was coated in a sugar seasoned blend. The cookies n' cream donut had a nice light layer of white chocolate with cookie bits. The likikoi had a very prominent tart coating. Both the pandan and pumpkin spice coating was very light in the flavor profile. The Ube coating was on the sweeter side. All of the donuts were chewy and not too sweet. There are seasonal flavors that are available on the menu. Location The current location is next door to Chipotle. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours as it is location in a shared plaza with many other businesses. There's a new location in the same plaza that is being finalized and has a drive through.

I came around 6:30 pm and ordered the tiramisu mochi donut. The staff was very friendly and made my donut fresh to order. It was the first time trying a mochi donut that was still hot. The fresh mochi donut was really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not as chew as when it is cooled down. I was a bit surprised when I bit into it as I was expecting it to be soft and chewy all around. I think I preferred my donut cooled down a bit more as the flavors would settle and would be more chewy. I think it was still too hot for me to taste the tiramisu flavor, tho I do remember it being pretty good when it was cooked down. There are no seating's in the store, but you could find some just a few step outside by the fountain.

This is such a fun experience. I got to try their yummy mochi donuts! I picked up 1 and a half dozen for my fam's early thanksgiving dinner last week and the matcha is my favorite! They only accept card, no cash. They have cute merch they sell in the store like hats and small stuffed toys. Check this place out and try their mochi donuts! Sorry I totally forgot to take a photo of the mochis as I was so hungry and ate right away

They have several flavors to choose from. I got cookies n cream, double chocolate, apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice & churro flavors. When they handed me my box, I could feel donuts were freshly made as they were very warm. They kept well overnight as I brought some to work. My coworkers loved them too. This location is in a strip mall with a Target. Whole Foods, Mission City Grill and other restaurants. So coming here is a one stop for shopping!

I had the pleasure to be rsvp for the Yelp elite event and enjoy these dangerously addicting and delicious donuts with Hawaiian inspired flavors. I've had these as well in SF. I enjoyed the Black sesame, pandas, matcha, ube and cookies n cream. It's all to go and there's no inside dining. They have cute mochi donut merch that the staff wears. The donuts are made fresh and differently than your typical American donut. They use mochi in the dough which gives it a yeasty, chewy and savory texture topped with various glazes. I didn't find one I didn't enjoy within my choices. They were perfectly not too sweet or oily. The ube taste is very light. My fav as the black sesame and cookies n cream 2nd. I'd come back again for desserts or a treat for any occasions

I've heard of this place before in socal but never visited. My friends and I happen to be in the area so we decided to grab some mochi donuts for dessert. The shop is located in a plaza so there is a parking lot. There are some benches outside but no seating inside. These were literally the best mochi donuts I have ever had! I think what sets them apart from most places is that the donuts are freshly made and iced as opposed to sitting in a display. They were literally so hot when we got them. We got the black sesame, pandan, churro, and lilikoi. My favorites were definitely the black sesame and pandan. The flavors were on point. I will definitely be back to try the other flavors. The mochi donuts here were a perfect consistency and texture.

I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of donuts. When offered a donut, I'm one of those people who says, "No thanks." I don't like the taste that lingers in my mouth after the first bite. However, this was a completely different experience. These donuts are made to order, not greasy, and are golden to perfection, light, and "melt in your mouth." The selection of flavors is plentiful enough not to be overwhelming but enough so you can try one of each. The amiable staff works hard to prepare your order as quickly as possible. I chose the following flavors: - Cookies & Cream - Churro - Black Sesame - Matcha - Ube - Lilikoi My favorite was the Lilikoi, which I highly recommend trying!

Modo Hawaii has one of the most delicious mochi donuts I've ever had. I highly recommend trying it out. I went during lunch time and service was friendly and fast. My favorites are the cookies n cream and churro flavor. I wish they had Tiramisu for us to try, but that's a good excuse to go again!!

This is one of my favorite places to get Mochi donuts in the Bay Area! When I first came to MoDo, I thought it was just like any other mochi donut place and wasn't expecting too much, but was impressed after first bite. MoDo donuts are dipped fresh after you order, which means they are still warm when you get them. There's also a monthly rotation where they try out new flavors. My personal favorites have been the matcha, ube, and black sesame. Line usually moves pretty quick. Would definitely come back next time I'm craving mochi donuts!

Came in around 5:10pm there was a lot of people inside who have ordered, but I got my order in within 5 minutes. The staff are super nice and helpful! I'm usually not a donut fan , but these are really delicious and flavorful. They are freshly made when you order so it doesn't taste stale! I got the cinnamon , milk chocolate, ube pandan , sesame, and matcha. My favorite was definitely the seasame! Definitely will come back here when I'm in the area!

I got into this Yelp Elite event and went by on Monday afternoon, there were not many people there and the server immediately took our order. They were unfortunately out of the Tiramisu but I will just have to go back. This is located in the very busy Santa Clara center so parking can be tough. I got the Matcha, Cookies and Cream, White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice and Churro. Had to wait for a couple of minutes while they were fried but it was worth the wait! They dip the donuts right in front of you and put it in the box and it was a smooth assembly line. We tried the Pumpkin Spice when it was still warm and it was gooey on the inside, crunchy on the outside and delicious. Tried the rest of the flavors and the White Chocolate was my favorite. Service was great and the shop has cute little Modo themed items to sell. They also serve coffee but they way sold out of that as well. Yelp had a holiday card and hand sanitizers as a give away. Definitely coming back!!

Stopped by to try some mochi donuts and satisfy my craving. If you've never had mochi donuts they're a little more dense and have a chewy texture inside but still a little crunchy outside (they're amazing). The shop was clean and staff were polite. Flavors I tried/ratings: -black sesame 9/10 -cookies & cream 10/10 -dark chocolate 4/10 -lilikoi 7/10 -apple cinnamon 8/10 -matcha 7/10

I've had mochi donuts before, but this is one of the best i've had! These donuts stood out because they were hot, fresh, and had great textures and flavors. It's a cute location in a nice plaza. No seating available inside, but plenty outside. Also card/contactless payments only! I tried the matcha, black sesame, lilikoi, and cookies and cream donuts. They were all delicious, but black sesame was definitely my favorite! I also got an ube soy latte which is caffeine free! It's light and sweet which I enjoy.
