I had a craving to try something new and so I decided I wanted to try Korean hot dogs. I found Mochinut served them so I headed on down. I got a half and half with potato and Cheetos on the outside. The reason I'm giving a 4 star is specifically due to the hot dog and the unglazed mochinut. When you walk in, staff are friendly and greet you. The space is a bit sparse, reminiscent of a traditional doughnut shop but no tables to sit at. There is a backdrop to take pictures. On the side are two large screens which you order from. It took me a while to figure it out but I got it down. The glazed doughnuts or flavored doughnuts are a dream. The flavors are fresh and delightful. I didn't feel guilty after eating one, so I ate two more. I also got the ube bubble tea without the boba which was equally delicious. The unglazed and hot dog didn't seem to have much flavor and the hot dog was a god awful mess. They weren't horrible, just didn't seem to have any taste. I would definitely come back here for the glazed doughnuts and a cup of coffee with no sugar because I won't need it. The texture is chewy but not like gum. It definitely lived up to the mochi name!
Food: Delicious! I love the chewy texture of mochi, and it's in the form of donuts?! What's not to love lol. They come out with new flavors each week, just follow their IG. I came right as they opened so everything was fresh, I appreciate how light and not so sweet the donuts are. Service: quick and easy. Ambiance: Bright and clean, there is a cute faux flower station where you can take a quick selfie.
This is a restaurant that serves Korean style corndogs, mochi donuts, and bubble tea. The neatest thing imo is that you use one of the two touchscreen kiosks to place your order! **Average Cost(s): $10 **Order: $ -Original Rice Dog With Sugar ($7.00) This is what I came here for and it was superb. I really can't imagine eating any other style of corndog now. It comes with a sauce of your choosing. I strongly suggest trying one of the sugar covered corndogs. -Coffee Bubble Tea with Extra Boba ($7.50) The coffee milk tea itself was good, but the boba was a bit mushy and flavorless. **Seating: there is no seating inside or outside the establishment. This is very much a grab & go type of restaurant. **Location: located next to Jaz Tea in a very popular shopping center that has a lot of Asian owned businesses and restaurant. There is plenty of parking and it appears to be fairly safe. **Service: the brief interaction I had with the employee was pleasant.
So, I only tried 2 of the Mochinuts.. the glazed and the cookies and cream BUT I can confidently say they are probably all excellent just by texture alone. When I initially saw them I thought they would be hard, but NO NO NO they are so soft and squishy! Basically a perfect texture! They were pretty expensive at like $5 a single donut; however, just to try was worth it. The inside was a bit empty and the TV's seemed to be broken and damaged. The empty and not so appealing inside is why it is a 4 instead of a 5. The person who was taking our order was very friendly and made jokes with me and my friend when it came to his very poor signature which I thought was lovely customer service! I can't wait to come back when it is back to its former glory :)
Ohhh! A mochi donut place opened not too far from where we live! The only other one to my knowledge that's relatively close is one in Gig Harbor and you need to use a toll bridge for that. The donuts here are very good. We got half a dozen with five different frostings. All were very good and chewy like a good mochi donut should be. Probably my favorite one was the black sesame frosted donut. They also served some intriguing looking hotdogs but we didn't get any of those as we already made lunch plans so definitely for another time.
Stopped by after a busy day of having to run errands around Tacoma and I'm so glad I did! When my husband and I first discovered this place I was in love. Thankfully my errands took me near the store so I stopped in about an hour after opening and thankfully they had lots of donuts still!! I've gone a couple hours after they've opened before and they have been sold out of everything so I wanted to make sure if I went, I didn't go too late. This was the first time I tried the Korean dog with mozzarella and marinara for dipping sauce and it was so delicious. I'm very glad I got it, I'm going to have to try a different one next time; they have a few varieties. Overall cute little shop with great service.
Was not busy on the weekend that we went. We ordered a brown sugar boba (3.5/5) and three cheese corn dogs (5/5). My husband's sauce was govhujang but might have been bbq. He was a little disappointed. The parm sauce I got with my corn dogs was good.
I saw some of the reviews, but I looooove the Ube Horchata as I never had a Horchata before but I tasted what seemed like rice milk & I enjoyed it since it was something familiar to me growing up in my Korean household- The donuts are not just pretty to look at, but this being my first time trying, I was surprised how similar texture to mochi whiile it looked just like any donut on the inside. The service wasn't horrible, they were fairly quick and we didn't have to wait long for our donuts & drinks, I will definitely order again to let my boyfriend try these!
How can you not like a mochi donut?? I'm indifferent when it comes to a regular donut, but when you make it fluffy and/or chewy, I'm suddenly ravenous, sugar high be darned. Was in the area and happened to spot the sign for Mochinut so I stopped in and picked up one of each flavor: Ube, Cookies and Cream, Chocolate, Funnel Cake, Cinnamon Sugar, and Original Glazes. We also ordered an additional ube and funnel cake to have on the way home without diving into the half dozen box. The ube was really tasty, but my favorite was the original glaze because I'm a sucker for the chewiness of the actual donut as opposed to the bread being a serving vessel and relying on the flavor and sweetness of the icing to bring it home. All of the flavors had just the right balance of sweet icing to donut, and you could easily eat one or two without getting to that sickeningly sweet stage that you'd normally get by eating a regular donut. If you like that chewiness from something like a rice cake (the Asian kind), then you'll love these. Give 'em a try!
Mochinut is finally in Tacoma! If you are looking for something different, this will definitely rock your socks. These are mochi style doughnuts. Not the usual donuts you are used to. The textures of mochi doughnuts are supposed to be light, airy, and chewy. These doughnuts are not too sweet and you can bite into them as is or tear each of the balls apart. They change flavors every week I think and will have atleast 6 different flavors to choose from at one time. You can purchase 1, 3, half a dozen or a dozen at a time. They also have korean style hotdogs, which if you have never had, I highly recommend trying them. It looks like a corndog, but the batter is different and they are called hot dogs not corndogs. They are deep fried till crispy. Then you can top it off with sprinkling of sugar and drizzle with your choice of sauce. The options in filling are sausage, mozzarella cheese, or half cheese and half sausage. The types of batter to choose from are between the original, ramen, potato, or hot cheetos. I have to say though that their hotdogs were okay, it's smaller and the choices are slim compared to other korean corndog places I've been to. They also serve boba here, which I have yet to try at any of the mochinut locations. But its good to know you can pretty much get all your fixins in one stop.
We didn't know there's a mochinut in Lakewood, it doesn't seem it's that popular compared with the one in south center or Seattle. Personally we don't think this place has the freshest donut, and they made different compared to the other two locations. It is okay for our liking. However the strawberry pound cake is pretty good out of the other 6 of them.
Had mochi donuts last week in honolulu.. So when I saw this place by boohan, I was excited. Visually, it looks similar, if not the same as the ones inside Macy's in honolulu. Taste wise.. a bit sweeter and more like a donut density. Maybe the ube was difference. They have kiosks you order and pay from. They shoot you a text when your order is ready. Parking can be a nightmare as it's in the boohan plaza on s tacoma way.
Im not one to give reviews like this, but my food was awful. My corn dog was completely burnt and tasted like old oil, and the cheese tasted so odd to me. Not even that but the donuts were so undercooked. I know they're gonna be chewy given it's mochi but I've had multiple mochi donut places and they've never tasted so weird like that? I was so excited because I love Seoul hotdog and Dochi but this was just not it. Save your money :( (Ps: the store is so dirty, the floor and doors were disgusting)
I'm very taken back by this business' response to my review. They replied back with words I would never "suggest" any customer do or "act". The business then deleted their response after an hour or two. Therefore, my review has dropped to a 1 star. read more

When you decide to try and bash a small business with your rude…
Perfect mochi donut texture, but some of the flavors were disappointing. With three friends I split six donuts, and this worked really well because each donut is eight balls. Matcha (3/5 stars - sickly sweet and the matcha didn't taste very matcha-y), blueberry crumble (4.5/5 stars, strong imitation flavor but still great), strawberry cheesecake (3.5/5 stars - imitation strawberry flavor and I could not really taste the cheesecake), Nutella (3.5/5 stars - tasted like Hershey's chocolate syrup), maple bacon (4.5/5 stars - consistent American imitation maple flavor, not enough bacon), and churro (4.5/5 stars - tasted like cinnamon and sugar). read more
Definitely go for the mochi donuts! So good and they have a wonderful range of flavors, including ube, Nutella, funnel cake, pistachio. Mochi donuts are my favorite kind of donut. They're pricier than the average donut though so be prepared. I would not recommend going for drinks. The coffee was definitely both too sweet and watery tasting than coffee tasting, even my kids drink was too sweet. read more

We went on a say that it wasnt so busy. I love that they have 2 kiosk you can place your order, you can wait in your car and they will let you know via text, and the 2 screens that tell you whose order is ready and which one is being prepared!! We ordered: Brown sugar boba: 3.5 star. It tasted a little different imo. Was not sweet enough for my liking but the packaging is cute!! Hot cheetos Mozzarella corn dog; 3.5 stars. love that it gave you options on kiosks if you wanted full mozzarela, full hot dog, or 1/2 and 1/2. You get to pick your own sauce. It was good but wasnt really impressed. Mochi donut: 5 stars. I love the texture and i definitely would pick this over a regular donut tbh. The only problem is that pricing is a bit high. Even for 1 donut. We got the strawberry crunch and it was so yummy!!! read more

Athmosphere: walked in and cashier was like order at the kiosk. Mind you, it's our first time here, no greeting, no let me know if you have any questions, no recommendations, basically short while there was no one else in there. Korean corn dogs flavor was not it, outside tasted burnt, we prefer going to Seoul in federal way. The half cheese half dog had like a inch and a half of hot dog for the whole thing. Lol that gave us a little laugh. On the other hands doughnuts were good 3/5 inside is very scarce like too airy not like Dochi in Seattle. Return visit? Probably not. read more
The service was nice. They came out and hand delivered the corn dogs to my car. They did take forever just to make it. The price wise, expensive just for 2 dogs. The fact that you have to pay extra for the sauce was a bit much considering the dogs itself was expensive. $21 for two hot Cheetos dogs one with spicy Mayo. The store was small and wasn't like other Mochinuts where seating was available. I'll consider ordering again when I feel like I want to pay that much for Korean corn dogs. read more

Bought a bag from TooGoodToGo (originally priced for $21) for $8 and they gave me only 2 mochinut... $21 for only 2 mochinut is a rip off! Idk how this place is still open read more
First time trying Korean corn dogs (rice dogs, per the menu) and am in love! I had wanted to try this type of food for awhile and living in Lacey there are zero options so I compared some places in federal way/tacoma/this location before deciding these reviews, price point, and offerings were the winning spot. Soooo happy with our visit here. It's located in kind of an unsightly not well taken care of strip mall, inside is incredibly sparse and the ceiling is drooping and floor warehouse tile (despite the incredibly cute background pictured here for the 'gram) but still 5 stars for food & taste. As others mentioned you order on a kiosk and can wait in your car. The interaction we had with the employee was pleasant. Options on half dog / half cheese / sugar no sugar / dipping sauce... love it all. My favorite was half cheese half dog potato with sirracha mayo. Highly recommend (: and the unique mochi donuts are so incredibly soft and pillowy. I don't drink Boba but my friend got one & enjoyed it. read more

There was a dead ant on my strawberry!! for as much as the cost of this, this is ridiculous discussing to say the least. read more
If you never had Korean hot dog, this is the place to start. It's golden crispy, slightly chewy, and not overly greasy. My favorites are the ones coated with potato and crispy ramen, filled with warm and gooey mozzarella. The mochi donuts are pretty good, just a little more oily than I would've liked. It's a soft opening, so I'm sure they will improve over time. I'm glad they opened a location here. Now I don't have to drive 1-2 hours to get my mochi treats. read more

Before I get started, I just want to say that I am a huge Korean Corndog fan so my expectations are probably higher than most. Pros: - donuts and corndogs - nice advertising on the donut box -wide selection of donut flavors - easy to get to and enough parking -cheese original dog was great -price for corndogs Cons: - prices for donuts ($30 for a dozen) - you cannot buy a single donut, but 3 ($9) - sauce selection (I am a saucy lady) and not a lot given - 20+ minute wait for the corn dog - no seating and it's freezing while you wait - ramen dog lacked flavor - the hotdog flavor was less than desirable - no beverages available (everything sold out) Neutral: -kiosks (lack of communication with actual staff) - donuts were just donuts (wouldn't go out of my way for it) Definitely better than some of the places in the area, but was lackluster. Would love to give 2.5 stars if I could. Maybe over time they will work out the kinks since it is a new place. read more

Got the potato half & half. I wish I went without the mustard but it was good! The raspberry funnel cake was excellent, will come back for the doughnuts. Overalls it was ok, was disappointed they still don't have the drinks, when that was our initial reason for going. read more

We are from out of town and I was on the hunt for mochi donuts since we don't have them at home. Given the reviews we were excited to try Mochinut. However, the donuts were stale and tasted like they had been sitting out for more than a day and the flavors were... just ok. :( They had a help wanted sign so I am assuming short staffed which is why our experience was underwhelming. The gal who helped us was nice but for $18 for 6 donuts we are a bit disappointed. read more
