    Ramp Miso Ramen
    Joanne T.

    We came here at 5:20pm on a Saturday and there was a 1 hour wait. We put our name down and they called us when our table was ready. We ordered crab cucumber salad and karaage as our appetizer. Both were great. I am happy they use real crab meat instead of imitation crab meat like at other Japanese restaurants. I wanted to try the Cincinnati-style ramen as I kept hearing great reviews on it. I thought it was decent and it tasted like watered down Skyline as I expected. We also ordered the ramp miso ramen, which is my favorite ramen at Mochiko so far. The locally foraged ramps give it a strong onion/garlic flavor.

    Stopped by on a Saturday morning. There were so many lovely pastries, we almost bought them all! We had the bbq pork snow bun, kimchi and egg croissant, and the ramp laing danish there. The ramp Laing danish was AMAZING. My only complaint about the other 2 is that I could have been heated a little longer, the middle was still cold, but the taste was a still great! We also got a bunch to take home, the strawberry melon pan was absolutely delightful. The strawberry flavor was so bright and juicy. Can't wait to come back to try their ramen at night!

    My first time really getting to explore the Woodburn Ave area and it was a treat! Went into Mochiko a little late in the morning to experience their full offer of fresh selections but tried to capture what was there that really interested me! The cashier was very sweet and patient with answering all our questions. Super chill vibe and I can see myself parking at a table with a journal and people gazing out of the window while I write.

    Ube croissant, everything bao

    We came to Cafe Mochiko early Sunday morning and wish we got there in time to try the weekend special! We asked for some recommendations on what to get, and the everything bao was definitely my favorite. I would like to come back and try the dinner menu, specifically the ramen!

    Smashburger

    Really good food! Great service. Nice vibes! Came too late for pastries, so I returned right on time for dinner! There was a line so get there about 10 minutes earlier to have a table fosho, or sit at the bar! I like the squish and if you do too, get the mochi mochi panic!! Super yummy. Soft mochi with soy and nice bean sprouts and onions for flavorrrr. The smashburger was recommended and good too! Quite unique! The bun is not light soft and fluffy like milk bread in my opinion. It was more dense, but a good chew. I thought it was good, but maybe needed more green or a tomato slice for juice? Overall great choice for dinner! Would def come back :)

    Kioke shoyu ramen
    Ann S.

    We came in the evening and had the Kioke Shoyu Ramen. So delicious! Perfectly flavored broth, lovely thin noodles. It was the perfect dinner for a cloudy cold night. Our server was helpful and very articulate in describing our dining options. There is street parking, but we parked in a lot behind the building. There was a wait for a table, but we were able to sit at the bar within 20 minutes.

    Mochi Mochi Psnic

    Great service. It was very busy on a Friday night at seven, which was great to see. We sat at the bar and our server was super helpful in recommending some really flavorful and interesting dishes. We got the CRAB CUCUMBER SALAD, the MOCHI MOCHI PANIC as starters, and the special ramen and the special noodle dish (not on the starter menu). I cannot remember the names but I do have pics of everything! DELICIOUS!

    I finally got to check this place out for dinner. Perfect spot for a cold day if you are looking for a cozy dinner with friends or family. This place does not do carry out orders or take reservations, we went towards the end of their dinner hours and had a 30 minute wait time which was worth it for the food. We started off with their mango soda, chicken karaage, and our entrees were Japanese curry (vegan) and their ramen of the week. I look forward to returning for their chicken karaage, the Japanese curry was flavorful for only being vegetables, and the spicy ramen had a little bit of excess oil/grease due to the meat however overall was good.

    So Nacha chocolate chunk cookie, sweet corn bibingka and matcha yuzu cake.

    Cafe Mochiko is a force to be reckoned with. Both their morning and evening menu and service were solid. In the morning into late afternoon, you can stop in for a wide selection of interesting Asian pastries and a drink. Each pastry is delicious in its own way without outshining others around it. I couldn't decide on just one, and buckled to try their Sweet Corn Bibingka, Sobacha Chocolate Chunk cookie and matcha yuzu cake. You honestly can't go wrong with any selection! Let's talk about their dinner menu. The crowd favorites are evidently the Hokkaido Smashburger, Karaage and seasonal ramen bowl. The Hokkaido Smashburger is the quitenssence of Japanese American fusion. Firm by pillow white milk buns sandwiching a hefty American burger patty. The potato fries are thick and crispy--light and crunchy. Their chicken karaage is my favorite! Large crispy chicken tenders with a balanced spicy aioli sauce. It's no wonder why every table has an order of their karaage.

    Another amazing meal at mochiko-loved the broccoli gomae and the new mochi dish had great flavor. Get here early at opening for dinner or be ready to come for second seating around an hour later!

    Ube Croissant, Yuzu Marzipan, Kimche Egg and Cheese Croissant, Prosciutto Sandwich
    Doug K.

    A cute Japanese cafe nestled in East Walnut hills. This was actually my second attempt coming here for pastries, fair warning they sell out quickly! We arrived at 8:50 for their 9am opening and there was already a short line. We got the Ube Croissant, Yuzu Marzipan, Kimche and Egg croissant as well as a special they had which was a prosciutto sandwich sort of thing. I think they are most known for the Ube Croissant but our favorite was actually the prosciutto sammy. The kimche and egg croissant has a lot of potential but I think would be better if it were warmed up. We also plan to come back here to try dinner! Overall, worth checking out for some tasty and unique pastries!

    I LOVE MOCHIKO! The service is exceptional, the atmosphere is lively & fun, & the food is superb. I will keep coming back time & time & time again!

    Sweet Corn Bibingka
    Deanna E.

    The sweet corn bibingka has to be one of the best things I have eaten all year! Delicious, decadent, perfection! They really have perfected this small delicious treat. It's like corn bread elevated to its highest standard! The everything cream cheese Bao is also a simplified treasure! Cream cheese in the center waiting to be discovered. They will warm it up for you if you ask. Staff is always kind, attentive and willing to answer questions. 10/10 recommend!

    Ube Halaya Croissant, Egg & Cheese Croissant, and Everything Cream Cheese Bao.  Try them ALL!

    See all

    As of today (1/14/2022), can you actually go inside or is the only service available through an outside window? If it is outside only, are the dinners available for carryout?

    They've had dine-in for months now, both for their dinner service as well as bakery (though for bakery hours, you need to order outside before taking it in if you want to sit). Get there early though - lines often go out the door!

    Do they serve bubble tea?

    No they don't. Coffee and tea at the moment.

Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion! The bartender recommended the smaller size since I was getting waffles and I'm glad she made that suggestion. Lavender latte with oatmilk was light and delicate. Just what I was looking for. Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.
