I was searching high and low for a place to treat some of my coworkers and I wanted something that was new, fun, different. Mochinut seemed to check all the boxes of unique, sweet, savory and of course BOBA. They offer mochi donuts with multiple flavaflavs, korean corn dogs with different flavaflav concoctions and milk teas! Treats indeed!
I went ahead and preordered a bunch of goodies through doordash to be delivered to my office in Potrero Hill. A box of variety pack donuts, 6+ corn dogs with potato, ramen and cheeto crust and their milk teas (thai tea, brown sugar, coffee, and the classic milk tea). Despite the long trek from across the city, everything was packaged nicely and arrived unscathed.
The boba drinks were sealed in plastic cans, the korean corn dogs were well secured in their box and the mochi donuts weren't squished. I displayed everything appropriately, snapped my photos and my coworkers walked into the room and gazed in awe. Yeeee, it was a success. None of my coworkers had hear of this place and they never really had a korean corn dog before, so I was excited for them to try it out.
The hot cheetos corn dog was delicious and satisfying. It was crunchy and well coated in the cheetos dust. It was helllaella bomb y'all. Its a must try. I was able to sample all of the corn dogs and they know who to do it right. Not too much batter and it was cooked on point. My second fave was the potato crust, followed by the ramen dog. I was able to snag the brown sugar boba can and it was delishness. It was milky and brown sugary and the boba balls were on point. My coworker who had the thai tea said it was pretty good and better than boba guys! The mochi donuts were 'aight', not the best I've had and I was sad I couldn't choose the flavaflavs. They put in flavors that I didn't care too much about like strawberry, funnel cake and the cinnamon sugar. The corn dogs went faster than the donuts I'll tell you that!
Overall, Mochinut was a winner for my team. They loved the corn dogs and the boba. Some of them even wanted to keep their boba cans because it was new, fun, different. The items were reasonably priced for the city. Corn dogs ranged from $4.5 to 6.5, milk tea $5 including boba and mochi donuts 3pc for $9. My suggestion is that they add in some fruity teas in the future and better mochi donut flavaflavs. I'd definitely come here again, in person. Or maybe to one of their other locations. Hoping they'll expand to Berkeley and Davis in the future.
