I went to Kai Sweets inside Mitsuwa market to get mochi donuts. I ended up getting one strawberry and one cookies and cream mochi donut, and they were really good--soft, chewy, and way better than a regular donut. I also tried a chocolate waffle! The ordering process was super easy, and the staff was really nice. Definitely a great spot for a quick and tasty treat!
My wife loves their mochi donuts. It's Japanese mochi meets donut. It's moist, chewy with many different flavored frosting on top. The frosting tastes good but some of the flavor don't taste as I've expected. For example, matcha is lacking the tea flavor. The dark chocolate is very good. It's lighter than your regular donuts. Strawberry can be more fruity. That's probably me just being picky. They are donuts frosting after all. Japanese always gives you top notch service. There are many tables where you can sit and enjoy your mochi donuts. They have many other items on the menu from Asian flavored soft served ice cream, drinks, pastries and cake. They opened at 11am instead of 10am as stated on Yelp.
We've gotten soft serve here a few times but this was the first time we tried the montblanc and it was so good! We got the ube one with ube ice cream and it was packed with ube flavor. Next time, I'll have to try the matcha montblanc.
I tried the strawberry cream mochi donut once and it was tasty. I've been in Mitsuwa a couple times since then, around the 3:00 hour, and they only had a handful of donuts left and in only one flavor. The donut was definitely good but availability seems scarce in my experience and I haven't been able to try any more since that first time. I'm thinking they must be pretty good if they're always running out. If you're interested in trying a variety, I would recommend to go earlier in the day
Just ... wow. I got the last 2 donuts because they close early, so couldn't select the flavor. The mochi donuts are fantastic, super light and the frosting is out of this world. Tried the dark chocolate and the mocha.
This is hand's down my favorite mochi donut place in the Tri-state area, and I've been to many many mochi donut places :) It's in Mitsuwa, and there is usually a line, even on weekdays. The service is always friendly and prompt. I love looking for new flavors. My favorite flavors thus far are yuzu, black sesame and pineapple. Give it a try when you are in the area, you won't regret it!
This was my first time ever trying mochi donuts and after trying them at Kai Sweets, I love them more than regular donuts!! The donuts are super light yet sweet! They aren't as indulgent as regular donuts (which I appreciate since regular ones can often be TOO sweet). Overall, they are really chewy because of the mochi. I tried the Oreo, black sesame, dark chocolate, matcha, and yuzu --- if you check out this place, you HAVE to get a whole box and try all the different flavors!
Usually these kinds of fads are slightly disappointing gimmicks for me since the hype is so high and the delivery doesn't live up. But I LOVED the mochi donut!! It's so chewy and yummy, sweet enough but not too sweet. I got the macha donut but I definitely want to try the other flavors too. Yuzu will be next on my list!
When I first saw the mochi donut food trend, I was really interested in trying it so when I took a trip to the Mitsuwa Marketplace, I was excited to find out that Kai Sweets sold them. The spot is located to the left of the main entrance of the supermarket in the food court section. The donuts are very popular so expect longer lines and for flavors to sell out quickly. I've tried the matcha, black sesame, and yuzu citrus flavors. I like the bouncy, chewy texture you won't find in your standard donut. Would I go back?: Only if I'm in the mood for it. Overall, I thought that the mochi donut was pretty overhyped. The flavor didn't really wow me. I would recommend that everyone should try it at least once but, unless I'm in the mood for it, I would probably go to another one of the vendors in the food court area.
Yuzu flavor is the best flavor. It's citrusy, tangy, and everything in between. I didn't get tired of it. I'm never able to finish all the donuts within one day so I just leave them out on the table. By the next day, the top coating has melted a little bit. But fear not, the flavor and texture is still there. Kai Sweets is within Mitsuwa. The last time I went to Mitsuwa, there was a bit of a wait and a long line. But time goes by really fast. It's such a big place so it felt covid-friendly. Everyone was wearing their mask as well. Kai Sweets has a short line sometimes but again, that goes by fast too.
I was lucky enough to snag two boxes of six donuts last Saturday considering that they're generally sold out early! It was buy five, get one free for $15 Yuzu flavor- ranks number one for me! It is soo refreshing, complementing the airiness of the donut itself. The flavor is not too overbearing, but you can def tell it's something citrusy. Double taro flavor- Issa second place. I'm not crazy about ube/taro but this was friggin delicious. Matcha flavor- basic but never gets old! Mocha flavor- I was hesitant to choose this cause I'm not a coffee person but this was surprisingly not bad. Again, the flavor wasn't too strong, and it had a creaminess to it. Oreo flavor- if I closed my eyes and ate this, I'm not sure that I would be able to say that it's Oreo! The Oreo smell is stronger than the taste. Black sesame flavor - just not a huge fan of black sesame, and this donut was packed with it I gave one box to my friend, which contained a strawberry Mochi donut instead of mocha. She said it was her second favorite following yuzu! So I'm going to try that next time
I am satisfied with these donuts! This donut shop is inside of Mitsuwa Marketplace. There was a 10-15min wait to go into the grocery store. And once we got in, it was just my husband and I beelining to the donut shop! And there were only 2 people in line. Great lighting, and a very clean shop! Donuts are so light, fluffy, and 100% worth our money. Each donut is $2.81 each. Buy 5 donuts and get one free. So of course we left with a 1/2 doz donuts. I have to say these donuts are not as chewy (almost like regular donut texture) as the ones I've recently tried from Mochinut in Fortlee, NJ. They are also not as greasy either, which is good, because you know my husband and I will be sharing 3 donut in one sitting and the last 3 donuts for after-dinner dessert. The glaze on these donuts are 1/2 the thickness and 1/2 the sweetness as the ones from Mochinut. Wish it was a thicker glaze, with the same amount of sweetness. The toppings used to decorate the donuts are also 1/2 the amount used in comparison to Mochinut. So in conclusion, if you are more health conscious, but still want to treat yourself, then you might opt for mochi donuts from Mochmochi Kai Sweets. You do get what you pay for and I would definitely return again to try out other flavors. Our favorite flavors are Oreo, strawberry, and matcha. The yuzu citrus was overpowering, I think there were too much citrus peel topping, very tangy. Superb customer service! The girls are all super friendly and efficient. Check out was speedy too!
Bought a box of 6 for $15 (Buy 5 Get 1 Free) - tried matcha (2), black sesame, yuzu, strawberry, and ube w/white chocolate. These mochi doughnuts are soft, chewy, but also light/airy... could easily eat several of these in one sitting if you're not careful. I recommend the yuzu flavor. It's citrus-y and a tiny bit bitter, which helped to balance out the sweetness of the frosting. If you want something a tad sweeter, try the strawberry or ube w/white chocolate. The strawberry flavor reminded me of the crunchy strawberry Pocky (the one with bits of strawberry). The ube mixed with white chocolate was definitely one of the sweeter ones and it's also purple inside (however, there wasn't really much of an ube flavor in the dough). The matcha and black sesame were just okay - would've preferred a stronger matcha/black sesame flavor. Certain flavors tend to sell out more frequently than others, so make sure to grab them when you see them! The first time I stopped by, they were out of yuzu and told me that they were making more (takes about 15-20 min.). I wanted to put in my order (since the other flavors I wanted were available) and come back for pickup once the yuzu was ready, but unfortunately they said that they can't do that. It's more cost effective to buy all 6 doughnuts at once, so I decided to come back later. Came back about half an hour later, waited on line again, and saw that the yuzu was re-stocked. Sadly, the passion fruit (one of the flavors I wanted to try) was all gone by the time it was my turn to order. Ugh.

I've only had one experience with mochi donuts before, but I was so blown away that I was afraid that this donut would be disappointing. Spoiler: it was not. I ordered 6 donuts (buy 5, get 1 free) in various flavors, and not one of them was bad. To be honest, it's the same donut with different frosting/toppings, but they tasted different enough to warrant getting several. I was also nervous that after a few hours, they would become greasy, like how I was warned at another mochi donut place, but they were just as ungreasy as when I first got them, hours later. And unbelievably light and just slightly chewy enough that you know its a mochi donut. Even though the price is pretty steep, $15 for half a dozen donuts, I would buy them again. read more

Ok, this is not my first time being here to be a customer!! But, their services are getting worse than before. No professional training for cashier or kitchen staff training during hectic hours... We ordered a crape, and only one more customer in front of us. As we waited 20-30mins just for one crape!! "I kindly asked, is mine coming up yet?" You know what the OWNER TOLD ME? " just wait on the side." Excuses me? ? ? If I can rate negative, -10000. And I will say You're welcome! ! read more

I am a fan of their mochi donuts! I always stop by to at least take a look at what Kai Sweets has available for the day. I usually end up grabbing a half dozen to go because their mochi donuts are really well presented and taste delicious. You can't go wrong with any choice of their donuts. It becomes a matter of personal preference. My favorite is the black sesame donut, but they all taste good to me. I have had their coffee too, and while it did not stand out much, it was very good. It comes nice and hot, and just right in terms of flavor. If you go to Mitsuwa to shop groceries, you have to look out for Kai Sweets because it's tucked away in the front left corner when facing the main entrance of Mitsuwa. It's easy to miss it if you don't know it is there. read more

2nd time ordering from Kai Sweets. 1st time I was not impressed. Donut was super chewy. Today I bought 2 to try again. Strawberry Cream and Yuzu Glaze.. They were really good! Slight chew of the mochi. But airy like a donut. Definitely delicious. They are $3 a piece. So a little bit pricy for a donut. But would order again as a treat. read more

The pandemic won't stop me from food adventures! Although, I couldn't go to Mitsuwa myself, I was able to obtain a box of these sweet and airy donuts from my friend who picked me up a box! First off, the donuts are shaped like a flower and it's just too pretty to be eaten ! Normally, I'd be able to consume only one donut as they can be so heavy and doughy but I was able to inhale all six of these (with the help of my sister) within 10 minutes! The outside is chewy and glazed like a donut and the inside has a slightly sticky texture like a mochi! Can they open up a mochi donut shop in Central Jersey because I need more of these! read more
My absolute favorite mochi donuts! The black sesame, matcha, and strawberry are my top 3 faves. This cafe serves the best mochi donuts in town. I have tried quite a few places and nothing else compares to kai sweets. I highly recommend this place to any dessert/donut lover. It is a must try! read more
So to be honest, I don't like mochi donuts. I think they're too chewy and some things are best left alone (like donuts). Mochi donuts for me are just chewy and bland and I like the yeasty goodness or the cakey deliciousness of more traditional donuts. That being said, Kai Sweets does a pretty good job making flavors that try to complement a pretty bland canvas. The chocolate frosted was decent and the yuzu was probably the best of the bunch. They have other flavors like ube and black sesame which my family seemed to enjoy. Although I'm not a fan of mochi donuts, this place does a pretty good job (and others agree since I've been here 3 times and this time was the only time they weren't sold out). Staff here is friendly and prices are fair. While not for me, it's definitely worth a try for those that want a new age Asian take on a Western classic. read more
If you've never tried mochi donuts before, I urge you to try them out. They are chewy and so fun to eat. You can pull then apart piece by piece or just bite into them! I fell in love with mochi donuts in Hawaii and was SO excited when Mitsuwa NJ decided to open up a mochi donut shop. Haven't tried a flavor I wasn't impressed by. My favorite is by far the black sesame!! read more

My cousin brought back 6 mochi donuts for us to all split and try. We were ecstatic because every other time we had gone to Mitsuwa, this store had already been closed by then. The wait was worth it. The donuts had a really nice texture and I especially enjoyed the yuzu and matcha ones. Sometimes it's a bit of a letdown because the "flavors" of a donut for some places only applies to the glaze. The donut itself is pretty plain. But the yuzu flavor in particular was very rich for this donut. Being a huge yuzu fan, that definitely made my day! read more
I picked up a black sesame mochi donut today for the first time while buying some stuff in Mitsuwa. The donut was good and the sesame flavor was not overly powerful. I would recommend others to try if they are interested in mochi donuts. The store has plenty of flavors to choose as well. read more
Solid mochi doughnut! I got the black sesame and the sesame flavor was strong. Sometimes I found the white chocolate in the glaze to be the overwhelming flavor, but this one felt relatively well balanced. The mochi dough was soft and slightly sweet with a good chew to it. Also for $3.25 after tax, it was definitely one of the cheaper desserts in the plaza. I saw they had some other interesting flavors like hoji-milk and would be down to come back and try some of their limited edition flavors next time! read more

I'm someone who does not like donuts, they have never been something that I would go out of my way to eat. But these donuts are beyond spectacular! They are so chewy and they are best when hot & freshly baked. The best time is to come early, because they sell out FAST! We bought the last chocolate ones. read more

mochimochi is located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's open during COVID but there's usually a line to get into Mitsuwa because of social distancing. mochimochi is very popular though and when I went around noon, the store had already run out of a few flavors. I loved the texture of these donuts. They're chewy, not overly sweet, and fun to eat. If you buy 5 you get one for free, so 6 donuts for $15. My favorite donuts were the Matcha, Passionfruit, and the Yuzu. I thought the Strawberry tasted very artificial and contrary to popular opinion, I wasn't a fan of the Sesame donut. My friends and I thought the flavor was so rich it tasted like peanut butter. read more

I'm a fan of mochi donuts. I heard that they are sold out fast... but luckily i got all 6 different flavors to try....matcha, strawberry, black sesame, pumpkin, yuzu and chocolate. I personally like matcha and black sesame flavors. The texture were chewy and soft...yummy :D :D I hope to go back again and try new things. read more

Solid mochi donuts! The donuts have a good consistency, not too mochi-like and not too donut-like. They have a lot of different flavors to try, although I wish some of the glazes had a stronger impact. Sometimes it's hard to tell which flavor I'm eating because they can be so subtle. read more

Mochi donuts here did not disappoint! Loved the fruity flavored ones! Matcha didn't really taste like matcha to me, but the black sesame was really good! read more

I'm not normally a donut person. I would usually take a cookie or ice cream over a donut any day. BUT the ~mochi donuts~ from kaisweets_mitsuwa are the only exception!! Kai Sweets just opened recently at Mitsuwa Marketplace and as soon as I heard about their mochi donuts, I knew I had to try them ASAP. First of all, the texture of these donuts are completely different from your average cake or flour donut. These are very chewy because of the mochi flour in them. The texture is addicting with the crunchiness of the outer golden layer and soft chewines of the mochi inside. I highly suggest checking this place out ASAP as well! Also they go sold out pretty quickly, so make sure you go earlier in the day! read more

Finally a place that makes a good and COMPARABLE Pon de ring doughnuts like Mister Donut from Japan. They have interesting flavors, the best one is the yuzu next to the strawberry. If they make a vanilla sugar glaze and dipped chocolate one, I'll be one happy camper. read more
Awesome donuts, but definitely a little pricey! They have a deal ongoing that if you get 5 donuts then the the sixth is free. Very addicting to eat and you want to try every flavor. It's a little cliche, but I love the Oreo donuts. It has a sort of crumble on the outside and the perfect Oreo taste. There's other flavors depending on the day and what they're making -- such as matcha, lemon citrus, strawberry, and others! Very good, but on the weekends you may see empty shelves for periods of time. read more

Great mochi donuts! Soft, chewy, and great flavors! Even after a day they still tasted delicious. Costs $15 for 6 which is a bit pricy, but well worth the cost. Tried a unique flavor, chocolate blood orange and wasn't a fan at all. However, I thought the best flavors were blueberry, black sesame, yuzu, and strawberry. Matcha was alright, a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, great donuts and I'd definitely stop by here again when I'm in the area. read more

I have overheard a few people raving about this donut when I was shopping at Mitzuwa and decided that I should also try it. O-M-G, it was sooo good! It's a different kind of donut (mochi donut) and it's like a piece of heaven in every bite! No joke! I decided to only try 3 flavors (matcha, black sesame and strawberry) and all are great! I will definitely come back and will probably do the buy 5 get 1 free for $15. read more
Soft, chewy, sweet mochi donuts. This is the only place in my area that I could find mochi donuts and it's super good. Ube wasn't available when I went. I got the buy 5 get one free for $15. My favorite flavor is the black seasame. The cookies and cream is also good if you want a sweeter one. You have to come early in the day before they sell out at around 2. The line wasn't bad when I went in the morning. The workers were nice and kept the area clean. read more

been hearing all about these donuts and finally made a trip down to Mitsuwa to give them a try! bought the yuzu, oreo and matcha. heard the black sesame was good but they were in the middle of baking another batch so i didn't want to wait half an hour :( next time i'll go earlier ! after trying a little bit of each donut, i think i've decided that i like the yuzu the best!! it has a tangy, citrus flavor but it's also sweet. matcha and oreo both taste like regular, sweet donuts. i think what's unique about these donuts are the CHEWY texture (mochi) they have compared to ordinary donuts. overall, pretty good! u do need to go early around opening time because they sell out really fast! i would suggest going before 2pm !! read more
