    Mochinut -- err, I mean -- Mochi Lion Riverside (new name) is located just off the 60 Freeway and University exit, near UCR. They offer mochi donuts that were popularized in Japan (Hello, Mister Donut!) in various flavors. They are slightly sweet but nice to have occasionally. And they make the cutest gifts if you don't want to show up empty-handed. These donuts would instantly bring a smile to anyone's face. They are cute and delicious! They do have a rotating menu so be sure to check back often for any new flavors you want to try out. I'd come here more often but the parking situation steers me away - there's just not enough parking spaces. But if you're patient, they are worth it. Overall, tasty alternative to the ultra sweet "crumbly"cookies - you know the name - that's consistently presentable and fairly priced.

    Just a small shop when you walk in. Tried just buying the items one by one: 2 corn dogs and 3 donuts, would've costed 24 bucks, but they had a cheaper for 20 bucks. It was a pretty long wait time though, 2 to 3 customers did come in after us, but was super excited when it was ready. I was disappointed though when I bit into it and discovered that the dough was still raw, and it was difficult to eat it since it's like smothered in hot cheetos. It could've used a minute or 2 longer in the fryer. Also, when the worker was picking the mochi donuts into the box, he dropped one, looked at us sheepishly and still gave it to us, felt like he should've picked another one.

    Cute place for a donut not really a place to stay and eat it at, they do have tables but it's pretty small so if people are ordering you don't have a whole lot of space for privacy, service was really good the donuts were delicious, I got the watermelon kiwi drink and it was way to sugary. This place is a little in the expensive side, but I would go back for a donut whenever I wanna splurge at $3.50 each ;) plus the packaging is cute. There is ample parking outside but lots of house less individuals outside. I get it everything is expensive, but maybe they can have a loyalty system if they do have one I wouldn't know because I wasn't offered or told or read anything about it.

    Block of cheese and pale potatoes. Skipping this location from now on.

    Ordered 3 pc mochi donuts and 2 mozzarella dogs and he charges me $24 + tax. I asked about the Mochi Lion box that is literally the same thing and he says "Yeah, that's basically the same thing." So why did you charge me individually instead of the box? The worst part is the actual corn dog. It didn't even get hot enough to soften/melt the cheese.

    Dry, terrible tasting donuts.

    I would like my money back please $41 for a box of donuts to taste extremely dry and gross at the same time highly disappointing, especially for my first time being there I didn't get a receipt, but I will be taking this box back tomorrow. I should've listened to the reviews. Smh.

    This is a nice little spot to stop by for something sweet. It's small with just one table and there is a screen upfront that you can order from like a kiosk. The mochi donuts are made already so service will be quite quick.

    Mariah was so great! She was working alone and there was a lady being extremely rude and extra. She handled herself very well! She recommended the ube boba milk tea and it was delicious! Very nice decor in there and music was a vibe.

    Original with sugar and potato (both half cheese half meat). Chili sauce and ketchup on the side

    See all

    Shop reeked of sewage. Hoping it was just a one off but even the donuts carried the smell. I had to throw them out when I got home.

    These mochi donuts tasted a day old. Mochi donuts are way too expensive to be a day old. Won't ever be back.
