    Signage for shopping plaza with store name

    Pre-ordered four dozen mochinut for an event. Picked it up the day before. They don't give discounts but could accommodate our tax free status. We ordered a variety of flavors. They were a hit. Some had not tried them before and wondered what they were. Most liked them after trying. Not for everyone but that's ok. Good choice of dessert for our AAPI event. Parking can be challenging.

    We love going to Mochinut! We've been so many times we're pretty sure we've tried all their drinks - sooo delicious and not too sweet! Their mochi donuts are equally as tasty and it's always nice to try their different flavors. We love getting out boba after a nice sushi/hot pot/kbbq date night!

    Spicy Chicken Ramen and Cashu Ramen

    They offer pre-set ramen bowls, and a make your own section which I dig. I ordered the from the make-your-own, but essentially got a spicy chicken ramen which was true to its name. I can handle spice, but it took a few sips of the broth to acclimate. My spouse got the Cashu ramen which was also delicious. We shared an order of the boa buns with pork belly as well, they too were yummy. The service was good, although initially we thought it was a self serve kind of place, but turns out the young man refilled our drinks, served our food, and cleared our plates. The ambiance was clean and quite as we'd gotten there right at opening time. We will most certainly go back.

    I feel extremely lucky to have this store in my neighborhood only 10 minutes away from my house. Although I frankly admit that I'm not necessarily a big donut person, if I start craving something sweet there is a good store that's within my close proximity. To clarify everyone's possible question as to how their donuts are made, they don't necessarily use mochi rice flour to make the donuts is what I heard from the young lady at the counter. But the texture is definitely that of mochi: chewy! I had to ask the lady which one(s) is/are the top selling one(s). She said Strawberry, Chocochurro, and Original. Oh, let's not forget to mention; you have to buy a minimum of three (so you can't buy just one; this is the only bummer thing I can say about this place.) I decided go with what she told me as the best selling ones to make it easy. Despite the dense mochi texture, the donuts are somewhat airy so they are light (at least that's how I tasted.) And unlike traditional donuts, they are not oily, either so they are calorie-conscious, too. Ones that have grazing are not heavily grazed so icing is not over the top, either. These mochi donuts are healthier alternatives which everyone can appreciate. On top of the donuts they make, they have several soft-serve items which I cannot wait to try next time I go there. And what's great about this store is that it is two-in-one store with a coffee shop right next to it so I certainly appreciate the symbiotic relationship!! Great concept for sure!

    Mochinut case full of sweet treats

    Glad I finally got to Mochinut. Having heard about Korean hot dogs for a while I finally made my way to Mochinut. There was a good crowd at 2pm on a Sunday so that's a good sign first and foremost. I originally planned on just the corn dogs but also tried three of the mochi donuts and a boba drink. The corn dogs/deep fried cheese were my favorite. I shared an all mozzarella ramen as well as a half cheddar half dog in potato and a half mozzarella half hot dog in hot Cheetos. All were fried to perfection. I liked all of them yet my favorite is tied between the ramen and potato. I tried three of the donuts. The original was very good as were the cookie butter and mango banana. They are lighter & chewier than a traditional doughnut. Be aware they are very sweet so pair with a coffee/tea (coffee shop literally next door with a door in-between the shops. I had the thai tea boba. What I like about mochinut is that it is in a can that you open when ready. The thai tea was good albeit quite sweet. Getting the boba out though was harder than a traditional cup though. The parking can be tricky as the strip mall has several others businesses (Sushi Katsu was closed due to it being Sunday) so be prepared to wait or find street parking. Will come back to mochinut for another experience soon.

    My variety pack! YUM! Yogurt, hazelnut, and cinnamon sugar

    Wow.... I didn't really know what to expect, and I was thoroughly impressed! Came here on a whim, abs tried a few of their flavors and their special of the day! The shop is bright & fun, and the staff friendly. Prices were reasonable too. Onto the donuts... we'll they all look perfect. So uniform & amazing looking that you think they couldn't possibly taste as good as they look. Well- not true! They're sweet, chewy, soft, and not overly sweet! My personal favorite was the cinnamon sugar dusted one. But they were all so good!

    MochiNut has finally arrived in Colorado. I didn't think I could like mochi donuts until I went to MochiNut in California and it changed my opinion that not all mochi donuts have a gum like texture to it. They can be soft and chewy but still feel like a donut. There are a lot more flavors offered at the Aurora location on a daily basis. At the Arcadia location, there were only 6 options a day. There's a variety in flavors and they do taste like what you would buy. For example, I ordered the lychee and it did taste like a lychee not just a regular donut with a lychee on it. This place can get crowded depending on when you arrive. I came at 11:30 and 15 minutes later, it was packed. The corn dogs are made to order. You can see them drying the donuts which is pretty cool. The ramen corn dog was really delicious. I definitely prefer it over the potato.

    Mochi donuts, boba tea, AND rice dogs?!?! Say no more! I came to Mochinut on opening weekend and am already drooling thinking about my next visit. In spite of being grand opening- their staff and team worked like a well-oiled engine. I had hardly any line wait, and my food was prepared fresh and quickly! Exceptional customer service- the team was so nice and willing to explain all the rice dogs to me (think a corn dog but even BETTER!). It's hard to pick a favorite. Let's start with the rice dogs! I got three- the traditional, the potato, and a half-half with mozzarella and hot dog. All three tasty; I think maybe I over-ordered, but leftovers never hurt no one. ;) Be sure to try their sauces! You can pick your own; I like the spicy mayo the most. Boba tea... but in a can! I mean, how adorable and practical? No more spilled tea as you drive home. I got the thai tea and no complaints. Finally- the main showstopper, their mochi donuts, or mochinut! SO many fun flavors- my fav was between the black sesame and the matcha. You can't go wrong!

    I like that they have hot food (variety of Korean corndogs) as well as the mochi donuts and boba!Boba! The place was clean and corndogs were cooked upon ordering. We waited 5 to 10 mins for 4 corndogs and they're huge! The boba is made there but served in a can which made it easy to throw in my bag while I carried everything else and drink when I was ready! I like that you could even order some to store in your fridge for future days since it's in a can Everything we got tasted great! The recipe for their dough is top notch the mochinut flavors were simple and not loaded with icing like other places do. A sprinkle of powdered sugar and a drizzle of strawberry sauce was more than enough flavor without the extra sugar. Their other flavors were similar (sprinkle and a drizzle, the Nutella one was the only one with a layer of icing that I saw) so I feel better about my kids eating these!

    This place is so instagramable! I love the flower wall they have and of course, the aesthetics of the actual food! I was so happy to find the mochi donut has finally made its way to Colorado as it was one of my favorite treats in California. The mochi donut is a hybrid between a beloved american donut and a Japanese mochi. Its chewy and soft, hit with some sweetness from the icing on top. Only thing about this place's mochi donut was that it was missing the crispiness that you find on the outside. Other than that, this is still worth the drive over. It has a variety of flavors that changes every week! My favorite this week had to be the Chocolate Churro. It was divine! They also have the Korean hotdogs here! Absolutely was my favorite, I highly trying the 1/2 mozzarella and hot dog, coated with some sugar! It was so goood!! The crunchy coating and cheesiness in the first bite was everything!

    Coffee boba. I didn't care for this one
    Kelisha D.

    Super cute and chill. Service was friendly, informative and patient. Enjoyed trying different flavors of donuts but with they were warm. My favorite has to be the funnel cake donut. I didn't like the coffee boba I ordered so the young lady let me exchange it for the summer special "blueberry lavender" and it was so good!

    Damian W.

    breaking my DIET. But they are sooooo GOOD!!! The atmosphere is your little coffee shop since is connect to one. Got the mochi donut it was freshly made and so YUMMY. The service was very nice. They explain everything they have since it was our first time visiting the location. Will definitely be BACK!!!!

    Strawberry funnel cake flavor looks amazing along with the churro flavors!
    Austin D.

    Always wanted to try this place but never had the time. We decided to stop in today and wow this place is amazing. The interior is nicely decorated with a floral wall. Great for group photos! The doughnuts have always been a hit at parties. The service was excellent she recommended her favorite flavors and boba drinks to us. I will definitely be back again

I did notice the fake ramen displays ( there's gotta be a name for this art) while passing by. Finally made a trip. First impression was good. The restaurant had the menu on the table with glass top on it. Also got another smaller one and a piece of paper with pencils on the side. He took the drink order and also instructioned us to mark on the paper on what we wanted and when were were ready, press the buzzer. There were many choices and had a hard time choosing what we wanted. I wanted ramen for sure and also wanted some appetizer but opted for a dragon roll. My black garlic tonkotsu ramen was very rich cloudy broth, perfect to warm up, and it was delicious. Just the right amount of noodles and plenty of chatsu to go with. I have just scrached the surface as I write this review. There are so many options and choices that I failed to comprehend. I wish our waiter suggested some alternate options which we would have appreciated like the combo meal and also happy hour drink options. Will be back to full fill the ramen quest!

On the bright side, the service was quick, which I really appreciated. I also thought the buzzer system was a very unique touch--it made it easy to get help whenever we needed it without having to flag someone down.

Although our tickets indicated a 7:00 PM start, we didn't realize the full event began at 5:00 PM and arrived late. Despite our tardiness, the owners were incredibly accommodating. ​Not only did they help us get our food quickly, but since the venue was full, they appeared to give up their own management seats right next to the stage so we could sit. As someone with a disability, this gesture was a huge help and deeply appreciated. Their kindness and discretion--never making us feel like a burden--have earned them a loyal patron for life. ​The food was excellent. We enjoyed okonomiyaki, sushi, onigiri, yakisoba, kaki furai, oden, and ajifurai. Every dish was cooked to perfection with flavors that truly stood out; the chef is clearly outstanding. ​As for the entertainment, Katsura Sunshine was wonderful and friendly. His storytelling had us in stitches--I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. His apprentices also did an awesome job with their performances. It was truly a fantastic event, and I sincerely hope he returns soon!

The restaurant it self was larger then it looks from the outside with a nice sushi bar and a number of tables and booths. They were busy but we were seated a few minutes after arriving. My wife usually orders the Chirashi and this was one of the better ones she's had in the area. Generous cuts of fish which were melt in your mouth fresh! I ordered a number of nigiri which had the perfect ratio of fish to rice. The Hamachi, Saba, and Unagi were my favorite but the Amaebi was also solid. We added to our meal with an order of Agadashi which is deep fried tofu in a savory broth and a geso age or deep fried squid legs, both were great but I'd go back for the agedashi again! Service was fantastic checking on us frequently and the food was served quickly. We enjoyed our visit very much and plan to return to try other items!
