Had a super fun late night snack stop here! The food was delicious and fresh since we got it dine in the three hotdogs we got which were half-and-half were super crunchy and delicious a bit greasy, but that's to be expected. The fruity pebble was my first time trying it and seems to be unique to this Mochinut location. Hot Cheeto was delicious as always, and the crunchy rice was a bit hard but yummy. I loved the mint blue milk tea, but sadly the lemonade tasted a bit artificial and did not look ombre like the photo. This location also had a ton of different options for food like croffles , cheesecake, shaved ice, tornado fries, onigiri and more! so overall an amazing pitch in terms of versatility for late night snacks. Service was a bit ghost kitchen like but nothing to complain about. read more

The service is poor. You have to order at a kiosk and the staff aren't friendly. The donuts are premade and don't taste fresh. read more

This Mochinut is on a busy main street, but it is a bit quiet with not much foot traffic here. Parking is street parking - the last few times I had been here (usually late night), I always find parking right in front of the storefront. They are right next to Dessert Cafe with a shared kitchen and at night, you have to pick up yours orders there, as this storefront entrance is closed. Service is decent, as the employees are accommodating to customizations, which I appreciate, but they usually take pretty long with orders, even if you ordered online ahead of time. My first 2 visits were good, but my last 2 visits were not the best. Although, I like that they are opened late night (until midnight), they are ridiculously slow at that hour and everything does not taste as fresh, but on my last visit, everything tasted a bit old. I ordered my usual - the Crunch Cereal Mozzarella Rice Hotdog and Strawberry & Banana Nutella Croffle (minus the Nutella). The rice hotdog tasted very greasy / oily with a weird aftertaste like they have not changed their frying oil in awhile. The croffle tasted decent though, but I feel like it was smaller and that the fruits were not as fresh on my last visit. read more

Recommend the matcha. Everyone ends up grabbing it exclusively and Im just always like bro I told u to get more get ur own bc this be the best one. Mochi donuts are a relatively consistent type of food wherever you go, and mochinut does hit the spot. The icing over the donuts are kinda sticky and melted all the time and sweeter than normal tho, so I'd say Mochill is a better chain. But presentation is beautiful! Skip black sesame, as you can see from the picture read more

One star knocked off only because it took an additional 15 minutes for our order after I was texted that it was ready. The setup is a mobile kiosk that you order from. Enter your number and then you just wait for a message that it's ready, except in my case, it was not. I wasn't prepared for this spot as my husband pulled up in front as a dessert option after we had dinner. I chose a 6-piece donut selection and clicked off each option that was presented, as I didn't have the brain capacity to think about it. For the kids, I ordered a Hot Cheeto Classic corn dog and an original classic corn dog. I was full but I had to try these infamous Korean corn dogs. Damn, on the first bite, I was in heaven. I was more impressed with the corn dogs than the mochi donuts. The mochi donuts weren't as flavorful nor was the doughnut "mochi-like." Maybe it was because we got there with 45 minutes to spare and they were just trying to catch up with V-day orders. There was one person going in the back and would disappear for a while, so it made me think that it was only her working the place, don't know. I ordered a caffucino but they had to refund me because the machine ran out. I'll definitely come back because the corn dogs were fire and I'm really curious about the soft serve and the boba teas! read more

Good mochinut! Wish the mochi donuts were gluten-free, so more people could enjoy them. Pass on the boba, it's underwhelming. Can't wait for the soft serve options :) read more

Cute petite spot to get some sweets and snacks. If you like hot cheetos then it's a must to try the hot cheetos half mozzarella cheese and half hot dog with house special sauce! They have a kiosk for you to order and pay, might be a little wait if you get the corn dogs. Excited for their soft serve options! read more

So, my rating varies based on the items that I got. The donuts were all excellent and I'd give them a 5/5. they were perfect. Soft, a little chewy, and flavorful. They kind of reminded me of flavorful chewy krispy kreme's. I was not a fan of the Korean Hotdog/cheese sticks. The grease seemed really heavy that they were fried with. I felt like my stomach was coated in grease l. I ended up taking off the fried coating to finish eating. I bought 4 of them with different flavors and ate the equivalent to about 1. They were so greasy, I threw them out. The original with sugar was probably the best read more

Quick Summary: - Short distance from Berkeley Bowl - Small interior, there is a bar like stand area near the window. Otherwise, there is no space to sit and eat - Nicely textured mochi doughnuts - Ordering was done by the kiosk Trying out a different mochi doughnut store in the Bay Area, and this one is good as well. First impression of the doughnut is that it is light, not greasily fried, so it is easy to eat. I'm happy to say that a mochi doughnut store is located not in San Francisco, and it's also close to one of my favorite grocery stores. After a thorough shopping at Berkeley Bowl, I can head over to the mochi doughnut store to have some nifty dessert read more

I love this place!!! My daughter took me here and I couldn't wait to try. They have all sorts of desserts and Korean corn dogs are their specialty. If you like hot Cheetos then you have to try the hot Cheeto Korean corn dog. You can get mozzarella cheese or a hot dog in the middle, or both. I liked the donuts, I had the gummy bear and the churro. Both were delicious. I also got the Thai tea, which didn't really taste too good to me that's why the 4 stars. And they don't take cash which is understandable but also can be an inconvenience but anyways this place is a must try ! read more

We came here on a Friday night to get 2 mochi donuts. It is attached to Dessert Story next door and there is a lot of seating inside. My Snackpass didn't update to tell me that my order was finished early. We had hoped the donuts would come out fresh, but they were cold. I got the fruity pebbles mochi donut & it was good, but nothing crazy. read more

Had hot cheeto corn dog was good but they dont accept and didnt have few items on menu.

I couldn't resist my craving any longer so I decided to order DoorDash and searched for boba. I also wanted to experience different locations than where I normally ordered. Mochinut in Berkeley popped up. Overly joy and excitement, I ended up ordering four different flavors. Taro was the best in my liking. Thai tea is the second best. Matcha and coffee are so-so. Have to say this far best boba ball I have ever tasted: soft and silky chewing. Overall taste review I will have to give four for drinks. Other items are to be tasted next time. read more

woooo hooooo! I no longer have to drive to Oakland appease my mochi donut obsession. Mochinut just opened up in South Berkeley near Ashby and Shattuck. They are serving mochi donuts, Korean style hotdogs and boba tea. The selection of donuts seems to be limited at the moment, but still 6 to choose from. I'm hoping they rotate selections on the daily or expand to a full menu with time. I just went with 3 donuts and a Thai tea boba. The ube churro and blueberry wafer were the winners. Soft, chewy and sweet. I love the airiness of mochi donuts. They could have been fresher, but I'm giving them some slack since they just opened. The parking out front is kinda tough being right on Shattuck, but there usually is free parking around the side streets. read more

Came here on Friday afternoon- around 12:18, no one is behind the counter. We place an order at the self serve order screen by 12:23. Automated message says food will be ready in 5-10 mins. Get a text at 12:32 saying order is done. It's been 15 mins since we arrived at the store and still haven't seen a soul. After waiting for 5 mins after the text said our order was ready, we started saying "hello" and on the 5th try of saying "hello, hello, we have an order to pick up", a lady comes out. And then someone else comes out. I don't understand quite why it took 20 mins and yelling loudly 5 times for us to see someone and receive our order, but I guess that's what it takes! Now... we ordered two hot dogs with potatoes. We got one with potatoes, one without. The potato one was really delicious. The special house said was too sweet for my liking. The spicy ketchup though was delicious. We got Mochi donut - they were okay, nice chewiness. But the frosting (for match, Nutella and black sesame) was just okay. Does not meet the quality of Mochill I don't expect to come back here again given the absence of service, and ok donut quality. read more

I was so looking forward to my little treats after a long day. I drove 20mins to reach there, a store in a not very safe neighborhood. Then I ordered using the tablet. Waited about 5 min to get my donuts. Drove home in 20min, found out they gave me the wrong order. So very upset but I wont be driving back... read more

Now those are some pricy donuts! I got hooked on this new craze about a year ago and haven't looked back. I love that the donuts are soft and chewy at the same time, and how could you not love exciting flavors like funnel cake and Nutella? The shop has a tiny storefront which is set up for takeout only. The POS system is very responsive, making it extremely easy to purchase these delicious pillows without human interaction. They didn't have all the flavors of a typical Mochill joint, but they did have great ones. BB read more

Donuts are good, love the mochi texture. We got the churro, Nutella and black sesame - all great! Never had a Korean hot dog before and ordered Original Rice Hotdog and Hot Cheetos Mozzarella Rice Hotdog. Not sure if it was suppose to come with a real hot dog inside or not (according to some other reviews it is) but it came without the hot dog? The exterior was good. I wouldn't order if the hot dogs again though, since it's just lots of chewy dough. read more

Donut was actually really fresh and yummy. Corn dog was also yummy but was missing sauce as listed so a little dry. Boba was nothing amazing but tasty. They forgot the boba in one of my drinks which was pretty disappointing since that's the main point of the drink and I didn't notice until I had gone home so I just had a flavored milk. The other drink was slightly skimpy with the amount of boba. Popcorn chicken was super dry and not good. Wouldn't order again. Service was maybe not on their best day. Wasn't greeted when I came in for pickup order, which isn't really a big deal. But I wasn't addressed for a while when they went into the back or served other people so my order was ready for pickup when I came in but I still had to wait over 5 min since no one was available to help me. Overall wouldn't necessarily ding service but it was coupled with forgetting elements of our food too. The only thing 100% right and tasty was one drink and the donut. read more

The kid working here with the curly hair does not need to be working in a customer facing role. I came here at night and placed an order on their kiosk. I decided to wait in my car and once I received the text that it was ready I walked back and was very surprised to see all the lights off and door locked as if it was closed! I was so confused. I started knocking on the window to see if anyone can hear me when finally this young, curly haired worker passes by and I try to show him my order through the widow from outside. This kid stopped for a few seconds and gave me the meanest, aggressive stare and just mouthed "go next door" and didn't give me a second more of his time. lol I apparently annoyed this kid. I went next door and I'm assuming both businesses are managed by the same person. I spoke to the manager who btw was very pleasant. It was busy that night and I feel like he still took the time to listen to my concerns about who he has interacting with customers and took my feedback seriously. He even mentioned that someone called earlier and complained about the same worker. If anything, I hope this kid finds a job he likes. Customer service might not be it tho. read more

The wait here is terrible, over 20 min for 3 donuts. Their automated system doesn't seem to work. I would try another location. Donuts were good as usual. read more

tldr: good food, thai tea with boba is not recommended, street parking only, good and punctual service for online order on a Sunday afternoon. Got the half-half mozzarella hotdog, which we ate quickly. The mozzarella was nicely soft in the inside. The fried potato on the outside was a good crunchy counterpart. The best part of the order. Got the 3 mochinut set: mango (presentation is not great but tastes good), nuttela (more like chocolate, we need more of the hazelnut, pls), and cookies and cream (out, and since ordered online, subbed with nuttela). Got the thai tea with boba. The boba is at perfect chewiness. However the drink is face-punching sweet, but the part we're the unhappiest about is the cough-syrup aroma. read more

The reviews about the bad customer service and long wait times are right. Came in at about 7pm on a weeknight to order with my family. We ordered a dozen mochinuts, boba drinks, hot chocolate and corn dogs. We were waiting there for a good 30-40 minutes with no other customers there. When someone did come to pick up an online order, he waited for probably 10 minutes to be greeted while the employees were doing who knows what in the back. Found out we couldn't get the hot chocolate we paid for because the hot drink machine was down or "getting cleaned" so I replaced it with a lychee lemonade. It just tasted like a sprite. They were also out of boba so we payed for 4 drinks that we just ended up pouring out cause they weren't good. As my aunt was leaving, she overheard them turning away a customer because they "had to work on an online order." read more

Looked different from the photos and got a little scared to try it but one of the best!

We ordered a drink and the soft serve with a donut. The order was ready quickly and the serve was very efficient here. However, all the food items were lacking. The ube boba looked so cute, but it was really sweet and tasted like powdered artificial ube mixed with milk. The soft serve in the sundae was icy and overly sweet, and the price did not reflect the quality. I don't want to be too critical of the donut because it was put in the soft serve so it's gonna get hard - it tasted really hard and floury. Everything looks cute, the taste just did not meet our expectations. read more

Yummy little snack spot, especially perfect for munchies. The Korean fried hot dog was yummy but so much batter and so oily, I could just feel my heart working a little extra harder with each bite. Mocha donuts are good enough, hits the spot but definitely not as good as the ones from Mochill. It's a little more stale and less chewy here. Flavors are also more mild (can't really tell the flavors apart) read more

Reviews about weird customer service and food is pretty accurate. Placed an order on the kiosk inside and they had a sign advising to step out of the store and wait for the text saying it was ready. When I got the text 10 minutes later, it took a literal 15 minutes for somebody to step out to give me my order. A couple walked in while I was waiting and same thing also happened to them and the both of us were confused. I don't care for bad customer service especially if the food was good, but waiting 25 minutes in an empty store for one donut and a hot dog is a bit much, esp when I waited more for someone to come out than the time it took for them to make it. On top of that, the employee seemed annoyed that they had to come out. Additionally, the donut and hotdog was so astronomically mid. The donut was soggy and to my surprise, there was no free condiment station for the hot dog. You have to PAY for condiments and it comes in a small togo one ounce cup you pour over your hot dog. Every mochinut/korean hot dog place I've been to has offered that for free. A lot of people I've talked to that have been to this mochinut share the same sentiment and agree that it's bad. Never had to write a bad review but this place kinda deserves it. read more

I'm typically a fan of mochinut, but last night's visit was pretty disappointing. My potato half and half was unpleasantly over-fried and the usually gooey cheese portion was hollow. I enjoy these because despite being deep fried--i don't /typically/ find them being overly greasy. The batter was headache-inducing, AND without any satisfaction from cheese pull. read more

The donuts here are great. My favorite flavor so far is the Churro one. They have a ton of different flavors to choose from also that change. I'm not a fan of the lemonades. They taste more like carbonated water or sparking water with flavors. The service is okay, the two times I've went the staff took a long time to come from the back to the front. Today alone, I got the text my order was ready and still had to wait 10 minutes just for someone to come from the back and hand it to me from the other side of the counter. They could use better customer service in that area, other than that I love this place and will be visiting again to try other flavors. read more

This place used to be a favorite of mine and my daughter but recently the quality has gone downhill. The corn dogs are considerably smaller than I remember and the taste is nonexistent. My corn dog was cold and the cheese was not melted. The batter was not cooked properly and was oozing out of the corn dog. I will not be returning to this place again. I am a very disappointed customer. I also forgot to mention the corn dog taste like old grease. read more
