Almost 20 flavors of mochi ice cream? I'm in!!!! I do wish the flavor to be more prominent, but they are delicious nonetheless. Okay, not as delicious as the original Lotte one, but the variety kinds of make up for it. Remember to let it warm up a bit before biting into it, so the mochi is all soft and chewy (without the ice cream melting, of course...) This place is kind of a paradise for sweet tooth. Beard Papa cream puff, gelato, macaroon, shaved iced, and mochi. They also sell Forte tea and drip coffee using the Hario filter, which is considered the best drip coffee gadget. read more

I don't know I wasn't super impressed. They are known for their mochilatos, but they have a bunch of other desserts too. Thought I really wanted to try their Beard Papa's cream puffs, I held back and just stuck with their mochilato because that's what they're known for, right? I got plum, black sesame, green tea, and creme brûlée. All were okay, but for $2 a piece I was expecting a better flavor profile and more mochi in their proportion of the mochilato (it's mostly just gelato). My friend also got the taiyaki and asked for it to be in the fish shape. If you check the photo, you'll see the disappointment on our plate. It was not fish-shaped. Overall ehhhhhhhhhhh. I might go again for their Beard Papa's cream puffs, but honestly I'll pass and just buy mochi ice cream at Mitsuwa for way cheaper. read more

Not the best quality gellato. Tastes cheap and low quality. Bad service. Wouldn't go back. Not worth a second chance.

You can ask my family, my girlfriend, or my friends and they will tell you that I am not really a dessert person.. heck, I'm Japanese and I'm not a mochi person.. BUT, I am definitely a gelato person. And I think I just found my new favorite spot. The tiramisu mochi gelato goodness that they have here, at Mochilato, is a new found guilty pleasure. I am officially hooked and intrigued -- intrigued because I want to know what all the other ones taste like. I need to go back.. soon. So, unlike all of my other reviews where I am introducing my girlfriend to a restaurant or business that is new to her, Mochilato is one of the very few places that she had the pleasure in introducing ME to. Her introducing me to a restaurant/business -- it's a rarity in our relationship. But, to be fair, this was her first time at Mochilato too. She was recommended this place by a friend and wanted to try it since her friend said that it was awesome. I never heard of it before. Anyway, it's a unique spot. Atypical to your standard Japanese spot, at least from my perspective. It's a very clean establishment, despite the engravings some unruly customers left on a couple of the wooden tables near the front doorway. Shame on you unruly customers -- you shouldn't be carving your names or epitaphs of what is now most likely old and failed relationships. Go get a tattoo that you'll regret 5 years later instead of destroying other people's hard-earned property. Getting back on point -- the food is good. The mochi gelato, I think I already made my point about how good it is. But to be a little more specific -- the mochi itself is light and wrapped fairly thin around the gelato, so you get more gelato than mochi. It's the perfect ratio of gelato to mochi in my opinion. The treat as a whole is considerably light, easy on the texture, and overall tasty. The gelato stands out more than the mochi does, which is what works perfectly for me since I'm not that big of a fan of mochi. The shaved ice with fruit, it's ok. Kind of hard to get that wrong. I mean, it's shaved ice. If you get it wrong, most likely you got served half melted ice(?) The fruit was ok -- fresh, but ok. Not sure what made it JUST ok for me; maybe I just wasn't feeling it at the time. Overall, it was a good experience. While my girlfriend and I ate our shaved ice dining-in, the lady who worked there kept our gelato filled mochi in the fridge, which was quite nice of her to do. Yep, I'm a fan. Oops.. I mean, Yay! I'm a fan. And it's all thanks to my girlfriend who introduced me to this place! Whodathunkit... gelato inside mochi. YUM! read more

The shaved ice and gelato mountain is ginormous - mining for gelato under the shaved ice mountain is fun in itself. All sizes are good for sharing, even the smallest one. The mochi is soft, and the fruit is fresh - just make sure to pick the right fruit that's in season and sweet. There's also macaroons and Bear Papas in the store. If you're on a diet, you're going to need a restraining order to stay away. Mochilato is one of the reasons why I hate Socal and it's beautiful weather. ::hate hate:: read more

Stopped by Mochilato before yup, you guessed it, shopping! We got the guava mochi ice cream, green tea mochi ice cream and the taro macaroon. The taro macaroon was SO GOOD!!! Never had one like it before. I love how you can taste the taro. Definitely my favorite item. The guava mochi and the green tea mochi were OK. The mochi was too soft and thin so it wasn't really a "mochi cream"... The guava was kinda sour so I didn't think it was good as a dessert. Or maybe I just didn't expect it to taste like that? The green tea was better compare to the guava but the green tea taste was lacking. I prefer mochicream in San Jose (NorCal) which has a more stronger green tea flavor and much thicker and chewier mochi. read more

In love with Beard Papa cream puffs. I've only had the original flavor and the crunchy outside with a full of cream inside that isn't too sweet is just so perfect. Nice tea selections from Art of Tea & cozy seating. Can't find anything I don't like so far. read more

I love to go to Mochilato for their shaved ice! This is the only place that has very a unique style of shaved ice. I love the Mochilato shaved ice. It contains bananas, strawberries, red beans, mochi, green tea syrup, and ice cream in the middle! Yes you all read correctly - green tea syrup and ice cream in the middle - both very very delicious! Every time I eat their shaved ice, I get so excited to get to the middle so that I could eat the ice cream! So far, nothing beats this place for shaved ice. The reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars is because the mochi ice cream balls are pretty pricey .. 1 ball for $1.50 . You could seriously just got to an asian market and get a pack of 6 mochi ice cream balls for 4 dollars (of course all will be the same flavor). However, the plum wine, coffee, pistachio, peach, and the almond nut flavored mochi ice cream balls are really good. The plum wine mochi has little chucks of plum in it. Another cool part about this place is that they have specials. I normally get the smallest special which is the junior shaved ice cup and 2 mochi ice cream balls. This feeds at least 2 - 3 people. The decor is very sheek with wood decorations everywhere. The inside has a japanese theme. The tables are large and there are enough seating for a large party. The place is also very clean. read more

A different approach but I like it. You can order individual mochi call with the icecream flavors they have or you can order shaved ice

I have to first disclose that I'm a big fan of the Mochi that one can buy in a box. My favorite flavor is the Mango, so when I first found this place on Yelp, it was a must-try. I already decided I was going to give it 4 stars just for existing & wouldn't go any lower unless it was truly awful...& obviously there's room for 1 more star if it truly blew me away. It's a bit of a drive for my family & I, but after a day of bike riding, we wanted to treat ourselves. So we hopped in the car & drove. It was hard to choose flavors, but we decided to buy a dozen mochis. We ended up getting Cookies & Cream, Coffee, Green Tea, Tiramisu & of course, Mango. My children really loved the Cookies & Cream, so they give it 4 stars. I slowly made my way through the flavors...loving the creaminess of the coffee flavor & the softness of the outside layer. I wasn't a big fan of the green tea (my husband is) & tiramisu flavors, but that's simply just a personal taste issue. I'm sure that if you normally enjoy these flavors, you'll love it in the Mochi form. I wanted to save the Mango flavor last because I have a frame of comparison due to my borderline addiction to the store bought version. I slowly took a bite & was a little surprised at how different it tasted to the ones I'm used to eating. At first, I couldn't decide how to feel about it. I even went through a bit of an internal dialogue--It tastes different, do I like this? After a beat, I came to the conclusion that the Mochilato version is definitely fresher & has the more authentic Mango flavor--something that was lost to me before coming to this place. I have to say I will continue to eat the boxed, store-bought version...it's an addiction after all. But will we be returning? Honestly? Probably not. We are 30 minutes out of the way & really don't have much of a reason to be in this area. We paid $15.00 for a dozen mochis & it is WAY pricier than buying the boxed version at our local store. But yes, I recommend at least trying this place...especially if you're familiar with Mochis & want to experience a "fresher" taste. And it gets 4 stars for being such a unique dessert shop. They serve Mochis. Awesome! read more

Finally got to try this place tonight. I was really tempted to try the Macarons, but in the end, I got distracted by the Mochilatos and got 2 of those instead: Pistachio and Guava. Also tried the Mochilato Way Shaved Ice. Pistachio was a HOME-RUN for me. Guava -- maybe a 2nd-3rd base for me. Shaved ice got to 1st base, just because of the gelato and the fruits that came with it. Next time I'm here, I'm just going to try a few more Mochilatos and be well on my way to look for better shaved ice! read more

I've died and gone to heaven. All my favorite desserts in one place; I was like a kid in a candy store. Gelato ice cream, mochi filled with gelato, French macarons, shaved ice, and cakes. I was torn on what to get first. I stuck with the mochilatos since that was the speciality. I tried the pistachio, hazelnut, tiramisu, and red bean. All were delish. The tiramisu was especially interesting. It had a strong espresso flavor which I like. I can't wait to return and try the gelato and macarons. Beards Papa is also sold here, but I'm not a fan of cream puffs. The downside here? The price. I suggest you eat slowly and savor each bite! read more

For the novelty factor, I really want to rate this place 4 stars. I was really excited the first time I walked in. It was a clean, hip place with innovative desserts--not only mochi ice cream, but also shave ice (i.e., pat bing soo, snow cone, kakigoori) with ice cream and beans and things like taiyaki and wagashi (Japanese confections) with beans. They have changed their menu, with the wagashi slowly being displaced by items such as their version of macarons, food items like kogi tacos, and most recently Beard Papa cream puffs. The changes in themselves are not a problem, since fusion is their selling point, and for a wagashi fix you can still go to Little Tokyo (old standby Fugetsudo, Mikawaya, etc). But I'm a bit let down by the execution. The last time we tried the shaved ice the beans were still hard (a result of adding the sugar before the beans are fully cooked). I had waffles with bean paste and gelato. The item was unhelpfully under the "taiyaki" section of the menu when in fact it was not taiyaki, and the waffle itself was a bit gummy. The takeaway: The desserts are good enough, but not amazing. I end up coming here every time I visit Irvine for the novelty factor and culture rush. I kind of wish there were more competition in the form of similar stores so they would step up their act, however. (Side note: I noticed on the website that they are under "new management." If I'm not mistaken, this store was originally an offshoot of Little Tokyo's Mikawaya, and the website no longer mentions Mikawaya at all. If the new management is not an Asian sweets specialist that may explain the novice mistake with the beans.) read more

On a random weekend sometime in the summer, my friend and I both agreed that we were craving macaroons. The first store that came up on yelp selling macaroons in the 'current location' on my friend's iphone was this store. Located in a plaza with other big markets/restaurants, this store is tucked away in between Daiso and a sushi restaurant. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. I tried the Coffee, and Raspberry macaroons. They satisfied my craving for macaroons, but wasn't too special in terms of flavor, texture, sweetness. The price per macaroon was average, at around ~$2 per piece. There is free water, and the inside of the store is clean. I should probably try their other items though, since the shaved ice and mochi ice cream look pretty good. Next time, I'll try it out. But for now this review is based purely on their macaroons. read more

Heard of this place so only stopped by the check out what they looked like but ended up getting tempted by these little monsters. Tiramisu mochilato was pretty good. But oh my gosh, red bean mochilato was yuuuuuummy.... read more

Bought a dozen of beard papa cream puffs n the FAM loved them. They loved them more than i do because my first impression of beard papa cream puffs was at the actual store in san gabriel. Nothing compares to my first taste. The person behind the counter was nice that he gave me two freebies. I think this place is good just by observing the fact that the place is full all the time. By the way, they have two sizes for the cream puffs. I didn't know so I ended paying more than I expected. read more

This place has helpful friendly service and very delicious frozen treats of all different flavors. Very good selection and it's conveniently located in the heart of Irvine. My only suggestion for improvement would be to freeze the mochi a little bit more so the exterior doesn't get droopy. read more

Mochi - Mochi of all types! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

This is a great place to stop by if you are in need for dessert and want a variety of sweets, or just going with a group of friends to share dessert with. It's not a great place if you are indecisive and only want to order one thing... They have everything from lunch/dinner meals, Bearded Papas, shaved ice, snow ice, italian ice, mochi ice cream, gelato, japanese dessert... etc etc etc... personally it is way too much and I was overwhelmed. Why have 3 types of shaved ice... why have 20 different desserts? Their mochi gelato was good but nothing really special to me. I prefer my mochi thicker... I tried the snow ice that they have and that was really good. I got it with normal milk ice, double mochi and mango, mmmm mmmm good. Would totally recommend that. read more

I came here after dinner with some of my girls. Everyone was getting trays of Mochi Ice Cream. I assumed I would get the same tray but they gave me a bag. LOL I was quite disappointed. We all asked for to-go but I was the only one that received a bag.... I've never been here before so I didn't know what to expect. Mochilato Flavors I Ordered - Cookies and Cream - Mint Chip - Creme Brulee The mochi was super soft! The Cookies and Cream was good!! The Mint Chip was okay...a little weird with mochi. The Creme Brulee was bland and did not taste anything like creme brulee. For $2 a piece, I expected to be wowed. I was not amazed and would not come back unless I happened to be in the plaza already. Not worth the trip. read more

I ordered the Hawaiian Shaved Ice in a blue raspberry and fruit punch. The service was friendly and quick. I would go there again.

WHY DID I COME BACK HERE!? Tiramisu mochilato = BAD. Toasted almond mochilato = OK. Their plum flavor is still the best. This time we ordered the Japanese style shave ice because the Mochilato Way shave ice was not that great. The Japanese style was much much worst! It was so plain and tasteless. Trust me, it looked nothing like the picture. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! Japanese style lacked mochi balls, red beans and any sort of sweetness. It made Mochilato Way looked like a piece of heaven by the long shot. Only redeeming factor - we got a jug of ice cold water this time. I'm not coming back here. The price is ridiculous for the shitty shave ice that I got - $10!! Get the heck out of town. Ima go to Guppy for my next shave ice cravings. read more

mochi + gelato = mochilato I love all the flavors offered here. I've tried apricot, strawberry, mango, peach, hazelnut....the list goes on. I don't really have a favorite, they're all good in my book! I've also tried what they call the Italian shaved ice. They also have the Japanese shaved ice, the difference that the Japanese includes red bean. I loved the fresh chopped fruit, the mochi bits & the scoop of gelato in the middle, however, the shaved ice here is already melted by the time its served to you! I've had it 3 times now and its always running! 4 stars for the mochilatos & 2 for the runny shaved ice! read more

I wanna give this place another try because I think the waffle maker guy messed up on my waffle. Like...my waffle was WAY off, it tasted really raw and flavorless.

I only had the gelato, which was good =) I wanna come back and try the mochi and other gelato flavors. read more

Mochi - coffee gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

Tired of strawberry, vanilla, or green tea mochi from the freezer department? Then Mochilato answers that question with flavors that stray from the typical. So many different mochi flavors, so little money. I ordered the creme brulee (my favorite dessert) mochilato and also tried the cookies and cream as well. The creme brulee didn't quite taste like how I'd imagined, but it was good nonetheless. Can't really screw up cookies and cream either, so nothing impressive there. If I came back here, I would try different flavors because I wouldn't be able to get them anywhere else. And that's a big if. read more

Mochi - No syrup with these waffles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

Mochilato: Can I say disappointment!? Or displeased!? Despite the cozy interior and inviting atmosphere that's good for 2 people or a larger group it definitely has a coffee place feel. But what's disappointing are the "falsehood" in the menu. For example the so-called Japanese waffle!?!?!? Um.... It's just a regular AMERICAN waffle. So disappointing. What's the pijt of calling it "Japanese"??? Being Japanese myself I was very disappointed and displeased with the inaccuracy of the menu. Don't give it a a fake name and e dishonest about what you are selling???? Also, who knows HOW MANY DAYS the gelato filled Mochis have been sitting there!?!? I rarely see them emptied out. The gelato doesn't look fresh or house made either. I've had gelato in Italy and several authentic places in O.C. Mochilato is NOT the place for authentic taste. The service is okay. A bunch of young teenagers or maybe college students. They don't like to be of "good customer service". read more

Mochi's- pretty chewy-chilled as expected. It was tasty but no wow factors, just cute. The cream puff was delicious, especially the filling.

This is a solid place for dessert if you're in the area and looking for variety. Shaved ice, gelato, sorbet, mochi (with gelato) - they have it all! My friends like the shaved ice option because it's a party of surprises. The shaved ice combos are large and perfect for sharing. We got the italian style, and my friends loved the fresh fruit, the syrup covering the ice, and the surprise vanilla gelato center. What I personally am not a fan of is the texture of the ice - it's chunky and not as smooth as other shaved ice places nearby. My recommendation: if you're here for dessert, skip the shaved ice and go for the gelato and sorbet options, as well as the mochilato (the namesake)! They have a handful of delicious gelato flavors, and for the fruit-lovers out there, the sorbets are really flavorful. We got the lychee and watermelon sorbet and they felt like they did the fruits justice. It was a little on the sweet side, but perfect for a refreshing sweet ending to the night! read more

Mochi - Italian shaved ice - with watermelon and lychee sorbet on the side - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

The interior is very trendy with lots of darkwood going on. There's a lot of different choices for dessert. If you like Mochi from Ranch 99, you'll love all the different flavors they have. We also ordered shaved ice in a combo deal - I've never seen a bigger pile of shaved ice in my life. Check the photos if you don't believe me! I'm more of a boozer than a sugar tooth, so I can't really comment on the fine nuances of mochi, but it all seemed very novel, attractive, and will probably stick around for a year or two until the next big thing emerges. read more

MOOCHHILLLATOO! You are so freakin' delicious, how did you know my favorites.. Gelato and Mochi? Combined OR separately. Shaved Ice to top off the night. Maybe a waffle or two. Okay, if you really ate all that by yourself, then you probably exploded by now, because the Shaved Ice is a pretty hefty size. Its about $7.95 for the Junior size, and $9.95 for a Single Size. It takes like 2-3 Juniors to really finish that Junior Size. I would definitely share with someone. Things I tried, out of the many choices: --Mochilato favs: Chocolate Hazelnut (like nutella), Strawberry (or other fruits) & Mint chocolate (these were the only ones where I could really taste the ice cream) ~All good, the dough is soft, but not enough to just crumble in your hands. I would recommend eating it fast though, after a while the ice cream will melt. Make sure to wipe your mouth if you're going on a hot date, because the powder can get messy. If you somehow feel like eating 20, then buy a few at a time. I was satisfied after eating just 3. --Shaved Ice: Mochilato Way - Love. Comes with beans, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, banana, mochi. The fruit, especially the strawberries tasted really fresh and sweet (but not too sweet) we all wanted to bring some home, but unfortunately we live in San Diego. The asian worker was the opposite of any fast food worker. She was cute, nice and happy. She told us that sometimes they have dry ice on the weekdays. Most likely won't on weekends, but there is a CVS if you want to go above and beyond to get your own cooler. If you're somewhere around Irvine, definitely check this place out. Its a cute area to just hang out and theres a good amount of seating. And you can get real food or dessert. read more

I didn't realize what Mochilato was until I saw them for myself. Mochi with gelato inside is genius! Their Cookies N Cream mochilato was so good! I should have sampled more of their mochi balls, but I decided to try their Japanese style waffle - Day & Night. Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, hazelnut syrup, strawberries, bananas, & nutella all nestled atop a waffle. All the toppings were excellent, but I was extremely disappointed with the waffle. It did NOT taste fresh and was very chewy - felt like I was eating rubber. There is so much to try here in terms of desserts. In addition to the mochilatos, they also have yummy looking shaved ice, and cream puffs from Beard Papas. I will definitely try next time. I like that they provide a big selection of desserts, but everything is all very pricey. I'm not the type of reviewer to give 1/2 star reviews, but Mochilato is 3.5 stars. read more

I love Mochilato! Any time I'm in the area, I always plan on stopping by. My favorite items here are the mochilato, which is a block of ice cream surrounded by mochi. There are a large variety of flavors - my favorite is green tea and cookies n' cream! There are also lots of other desserts here, such as gelato, shaved ice, macarons, cream puffs from Beard Papas, and they even sell Dippin' Dots. There is a small selection of coffee and teas as well. Unfortunately, the staff here doesn't do a very good job of clearing the tables once a party has left. It's not unusual to see a majority of the tables littered with trash, with all clean tables occupied. The items here are a little expensive and I believe they now require a $5 minimum purchase if you want to buy with credit card. read more

Walk all the way to the back and you'll see a glass display of mochi ice cream, gelato, and macaroons. The macaroons and mochi ice creams are $2 each. I was tempted to get one of every flavor that I liked, but I just ate and I didn't want the mochi ice cream to melt...so I ended up just trying the passionfruit macaroon and the pistachio mochilato. And my BF ended up getting the tiramisu mochilato. I've been on a passionfruit frenzy for quite some time now, but the macaroon didn't satisfy my new found love of passionfruit. It was soft and moist, but the passionfruit flavor wasn't strong at all. As for the pistachio mochilato...you could taste the pistachio, but I didn't find anything special about it. I couldn't even tell that it was gelato inside instead of regular ice cream. I didn't get to try the tiramisu mochilato so I can't say anything about that one. Service was well...okay? You walk up to the glass displays and point at what you want and then go and pay at the cash register. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area to try the other flavors though! read more

After having a mouth watering lunch, all i could think of was dessert. The question was, what to eat? I remember bookmarking this the previous night. What could be a better combination, Mochi + Gelato = bliss. Yeah, the price is a bit iffy for $1.35 for a piece, but it's gelato we are talking about here. They do have various different kinds of mochialto and different flavors of Mochi. They even have some other japanese pastries, which would be worth trying if you have the dough to try it out. They even have Taiyaki priced at $7. I found that a bit lacking because of the size of it, compared to the price. I've yet to try their shaved ice, but i'll save that for next time. read more

Mochi - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

I went here for dessert after a friend's birthday dinner! We didn't have the shaved iced, because we were all full, but we tried the mochi and gelato. There was a good variety of gelato flavors to choose from. I picked coffee gelato, and they put it in this really interesting cup! The spoons were really cute, too. The service was great--the workers were friendly and very sweet. :) The price of the gelato was a little expensive or that's what I thought, but it was satisfying in taste, so I didn't mind paying for quality. Also, it was my friend's birthday, and I believe, the owner (she was a really cute Asian woman, very sweet), put a candle in a mochi, free of charge. It was her mini birthday cake! :) I would love to come back to try the shaved ice--but this place definitely is a winner. read more
