Finally tried Nuo Mochi and they were so good!! We got matcha black sesame, mango, strawberry, and peanut black sesame. The mango and strawberry had a really thick cream cheese-like filling which was a little overwhelming, but the matcha black sesame and peanut black sesame were sooo good! We got there about 10 minutes before opening and by the time they opened there were probably 20 people behind us. We ordered from the kiosk and got ours in about 15 minutes. Parking in the back was easy too. Would definitely come back and try more flavors, especially the savory ones!
Such good mochi and great flavors too! My only issue is that it's pretty expensive, and I can't finish that giant mochi in one go. I'm also not that knowledgeable on how to properly store mochi and preserve it's pillowy texture. Otherwise, the flavors are delicious and since it's best enjoyed fresh, the mochi texture is so soft and chewy.
Finally got a chance to try Nuo Mochi! Stopped in on a weekday afternoon at around 2pm and there was still a line. Parking is super easy- there's a little free lot in the back. The space itself is small and this is strictly a pick up and go shop. There are a few benches for you to sit on to wait for your order, but nowhere to sit so be prepared for that. You order on a kiosk or can order ahead. All orders are made to order and SUPER fresh! There are several different options of fillings and each piece of mochi is HUGE! This mochi is a Chinese variation, so definitely different from Japanese or Korean types in that it is SUPER soft and chewy. The fillings are all fresh and plentiful! My favorite was the strawberry- Will definitely be back for that one again! These desserts should be eaten the same day and if you're picking up to take these home, you might want to bring a cooler with you if you've got a long drive Back. But definitely lives up to the hype and worth a try!
Heard many bad things about this spot but also heard neutral things about their mochi.. Figured to give it a try myself before judging. I now understand why you may either love it or hate it. Mochi itself is very very soft, quite sticky and not much structure to it. It's more mushy/sticky than chewy. If you ordered a few and couldn't finish it. Eating the next day after keeping it in the fridge, the mochi is much firmer and added that chewiness that it was missing which I would have preferred. And some of the filling options sounded good on screen but a bit much/odd when actually eating it. Some people might really like it but some might think it doesn't pair well.. Strawberry Bobo Mochi - out of all the fruit flavored one we grabbed. This one was the best, I personally did not read the wall of description and found out after eating it that the cream filling was very heavy on cream cheese. Strawberry paired well with cream cheese.. but made it quite heavy. Might be best for kids.. Peach Bobo Mochi -quite floral and didn't really pair well with cream cheese flavor.. Melon Bobo Mochi - honeydew flavored cream cheese with cantaloupe was not what I was expecting. Kids might light this.. Taro Cream Cheese Mochi -flavor sounded great on screen but I'm not sure what I was expecting but I also wasn't expecting an entire block of cream cheese wrapped in taro within mochi.. very heavy. Didn't like this one at all. Taro Meat floss Mochi - if you like sweet and savory, this might be up your alley. Sesame Peanut Mochi -quite hard to eat, if you want this option might be best to opt for the style that is served in trays and eaten with a fork. Sugar Peanut Mochi -this one is similar to the sesame peanut, would also opt for the style that is served in trays and eaten with a fork. Ended up cutting it up and eating it that way instead.
Very disappointing experience at Nuo Mochi. When I arrived, there were no other customers in the store. I ordered 3 mochi and waited about 10 minutes, but my order still wasn't ready. Meanwhile, customers who came in after me had already placed their orders and received their items. When I asked about my order, the staff didn't even know what I had ordered. The order was handwritten, and they had trouble finding it. I honestly don't understand how an order for just 3 mochi could be missed when there were no customers in the store when I placed it. The payment experience was also frustrating. I wanted to pay with cash, but they said they didn't have change and couldn't accept my cash, so I was asked to make a bank transfer instead. The issue wasn't simply the 10-minute wait. It was the lack of organization and basic order management--from taking the order to preparing it and even handling payment. To be honest, the mochi itself was just average as well. Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn't come back.
作为洛杉矶之前爆火的"排队王"糯手作NUO MOCHI，今天终于去打卡了！这家店主打现做的大麻糍，每一颗都像拳头一样大，而且低糖无添加，吃起来没负担。 桃桃麻兹：超级惊喜！里面竟然包着大颗粒新鲜水蜜桃，咬下去满口都是桃子爆汁的香气，外皮又Q又糯，软到能拉丝！ As Los Angeles's former "king of long lines," NUO MOCHI, I finally checked it out today! This shop specializes in fresh handmade mochi--each piece is as big as a fist, plus it's low in sugar with no additives, making it guilt-free to eat. Peach Mochi: Such a pleasant surprise! It's actually stuffed with large chunks of fresh juicy peach. One bite delivers an explosion of sweet peach aroma. The skin is super chewy, sticky, and soft enough to stretch! Taro, Purple Rice & Red Bean: A classic dessert reunion! Smooth and dense taro paste combined with soft purple rice and the natural sweetness of red beans creates super rich, layered flavors. Eating just one of these leaves you feeling full! There's definitely a reason why this place is so popular. Their 100% handmade fresh mochi skin nails that bouncy, chewy texture completely. Guys, go check it out--this soft, sticky goodness is absolutely top-tier! 芋泥紫米红豆：经典的甜品大团圆！芋泥绵密、紫米软糯，配上红豆的清甜，口感层次超级丰富，吃完这一颗感觉都要饱了。 这家店的火爆程度绝对有道理，纯手工现做的麻糍皮，那份Q弹感拿捏得死死的。宝子们，赶紧冲，这口软糯真的绝了～
Ok I get the hype. The mochi here is ginormous so make sure you come hungry. I tried a couple different flavors and a strawberry and mango mochis are hands-down the best. It had good flavor and I love that there is a variety of texture. Not too mush. Very generous with filling. I tried the durian mochi as well which had good flavor, but it was a bit too mush for my liking.
The rave about the mango mochi is actually real, I was worried that these mochi balls would be too sweet, especially since they contained cream cheese and also Boba, but actually the amount of sweetness was just perfect. There was an entire slice of mango in the mango mochi and the sweet nectar of ripe mango was amazing. The durian mochi was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the traditional two flavor peanut/soybean vs sesame mochi but would have preferred the peanut/soybean to just be peanut alone. Lots of street side parking! Wait time for 20 orders ahead of me was 7 minutes.
Well overall I thought they were good went into get some friends something. I personally have only ever had the ice cream mochi you can buy in a grocery store. These were huge in size . Ordered at the kiosk which was cool tells you how many orders ahead and wait times ! The store is small not much room in there when they are busy ! Over all interesting
The mochi is very big and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. They are very stretchy and soft, it was cool to watch the staff handwrap each mochi. Out of the ones I got, I liked the strawberry one the most. My friends and I did not like the grape matcha mochi at all. I thought the mochi keychains were really cute and squishy. They also didn't all have the same face on them. There is a small parking structure behind the building so parking was not difficult
I've been to Nio Mochi a few times now, and it's a great spot when I'm craving mochi. I stopped by on a weekday afternoon, and there were only two people ahead of me, so the wait was short. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, and once your order is placed, you simply wait for a text notification. One thing to note: they don't call out order numbers when your food is ready. Instead, you'll receive a text message, then just show them your order number at the pickup counter. This time I ordered: - Twin Flavor Mochi (Sesame Peanut & Soybean) - Black Sesame Matcha Chocolate Mochi I've tried several of their other flavors before, and I realized I definitely prefer their small mochi over the larger ones. The peanut and black sesame flavors are still my favorites--they're soft, chewy, and have a nice balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. The larger Black Sesame Matcha Chocolate Mochi wasn't my favorite. I found the matcha filling a little too doughy and not enough matcha taste. The shop itself is clean and modern. Parking is convenient with spaces available behind the plaza, and there' is street parking in front of the store as well. Overall, if you're a fan of chewy mochi desserts, especially peanut or black sesame flavors, Nio Mochi is definitely worth checking out. I'll be coming back to try more of their small mochi varieties.
Great freshly made mochi option Parking in lot behind the store or streetside Order through the kiosk and accepts credit card The mochi are large and stuffed with filling, with a very pillowy soft mochi exterior. They have a lot of great flavor options There are some highs and some lows. Their Peanut with Kinako powder with sugar is SUPERB! It is quite messy though! But for $3.50 so generous and filling. We also LOVED their mango filled mochi (fresh fruit with a mango cream as well) Their Mochi with fresh strawberry was nice but was also filled with strawberry cream cheese which was different. Can't say I loved it, as I think a strawberry infused whipped cream would have worked better and ate lighter. Their Red bean Matcha with dark chocolate was also not a win. The mochi is dusted with a very bitter matcha powder and the red bean is very generous but overpowers any chocolate or matcha beyond the bitter topping. Would be back for sure but for more targeted choices. Would order one to fill someone up fully. It's quite generously sized.
This place is popular now with the kids (and I recall this place used to be a MochiNut before so there's a mochi connection) but fresh mochi has been around a long time. Had a chance to try some of the offerings and concluded that what we didn't order are probably the items that I would like to eat. It's great that everything is made to order but I did not like the cream cheese that they use. And I like cream cheese if you've seen me with a bagel. The cream cheese here has a bit of a sour note that didn't do it for me. It's like back when Pinkberry was around and the yogurt they used was a bit sour which made me more of a Yogurtland fan. I would like to go back and try the more traditional mochi with just black sesame or peanuts and sugar. The mochi ball with purple rice and taro also sounds interesting so go try this place and find what you like but avoid the cream cheese (LOL). They have a fresh durian mochi for you durian lovers. Check out my pics.
I've been wanting to try Nuo Mochi since they opened, but the line has always been ridiculously long Finally got my chance tonight! I got the Purple Rice, Salted Egg Yolk & Meat Floss Mochi with Soybean Powder, and WOW -- this thing is HUGE. It's practically a meal, not a snack The mochi is soft with that satisfying chewy texture, while the soybean powder adds a light sweetness. The purple rice brings sweetness and a little crunch, the meat floss adds a sweet-savory flavor, and the salted egg yolk is rich, savory, and creamy. Such a fun combination of flavors and textures. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can definitely taste the freshness. After waiting this long to try it, I'd say it was worth the wait! Now I just need to brave that line again for another flavor read more
tl;dr the viral, baseball-sized stuffed mochi are exciting in theory but unwieldy and underwhelming in practice Nuo Mochi began as owner Yongfang Liu's love letter to Hunan street food. Since immigrating to the US, she has sold mochi from pop-ups and a food truck, before debuting her brick-and-mortar last year. Nuo quickly became a TikTok sensation, specifically for its baseball-sized mochi stuffed with all kinds of sweet and savory fillings. With the popularity came hours-long queues and a feature in the LA Times. Nuo Mochi is posted up in Monterey Park's Mar Center shopping plaza. Parking is available in the trim, semi-enclosed lot looped around the back. Outside, a narrow bench constitutes the minimal seating space. The interior is extra minimalist, in the forlorn rather than chic way. The all-white walls are "decorated" with framed menus. Order directly from the jumbo tablets, and get a text once your order is prepared. Chinese pop drowns out the intermittent chatter of patrons. I've only ever visited on weekdays, and each time I have fortunately faced only a 5-minute wait. Across my visits, I've tried a wide swath of flavors, and my favorites have been the simplest. Broadly, each fist-sized mochi ball was wrapped in Saran and plopped into a paper takeout cup. The delicate mochi coating was always overwhelmed by the rich, hefty filling. The best was the Dark Chocolate Mochi, filled with a decadent, frosting-thick chocolate mousse and crunchy chocolate chips; it reminded me of the best parts of a Cosmic Brownie. Meanwhile, the Sesame, Peanut Mochi opted for a gritty mixture of black sesame, chopped peanut, and sugar crystals; the seemingly bizarre combination slowly grew on me. In contrast, the Black Sesame, Matcha, Chocolate Mochi was filled with an overly dense, dry rock of mostly flavorless sesame paste and matcha frosting. Lastly, the Taro, Cream Cheese, Oreo Mochi opted for stale cookies and a block of plain cream cheese. The service was quick and transactional, and the prices range from $3.50 for the most basic to over $7 for the more complex. Overall, my fiancee and I agreed that the mochi were simply not great. Unfortunately, these novelty mochi are more gimmick than glam, and the quantity detracts from the quality. I won't soon return, much less wait upward of an hour. read more

Came here after the hype died down a little, and honestly, I thought it was a bit overrated. The mochi itself had a really good texture and quality, but I was a little disappointed with the filling. I felt like there wasn't enough filling compared to the amount of mochi, and the filling itself could've been better quality. Price-wise, I actually think it's pretty reasonable for what you're getting, so I can't complain too much about that. I also tried the matcha, and unfortunately, it was way too bitter for my taste. I'm not sure if it was because they used a lot of matcha or if it was just the type of matcha they use, but the bitterness was a little overpowering for me. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to try it, but I don't think I would personally come back. The mochi texture was good, but the filling and matcha didn't really live up to the hype for me. read more

I always see a line outside and decided to try it out. Each item is made to order so the wait can be awhile. I got the black sesame chocolate matcha which wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it was too dry and wasn't sweet enough but, I should have considered when ordering since black sesame is very dry and semi sweet. On the other hand, the strawberry cream cheese mochi was good. There were hints of savory from the cream cheese but mostly sweet and moist through out. read more
I came because I was in the area and was recommended this spot also because the logo was cute. There's some street parking outside but this place is more of a order at the kiosk and eat elsewhere type place. There were many options and combinations, including sweet and savory. We got savory which was a mix of pork floss, purple rice, salted duck egg. Service was fast and they make the Mochi right in front of you. I was already so full from lunch so couldn't fully appreciate the Mochi since it was so big and savory. I will say that the Mochi skin was so soft and chewy I'd go back and try out something else another time! read more
If you're craving mochi, I recommend coming here for a quick bite. The mochi is super stretchy and soft. I got the mango and strawberry mochi and both were good. The filling is flavored cream cheese so if you don't like cream cheese, DONT get it. There's so many options, I'd definitely come back to try more. There's also plenty of parking in the plaza. The store itself is pretty small so when it gets busy, the store could get packed. You can order on the kiosks but just keep track of your text because they don't really call you once it's ready and when it gets busy, the line can get pretty long. Cute store though :) read more

One of the more unique dessert places I've come across in the SoCal area! Very affordable HUGE mochis with a variety of savory fillings, including mango, peanut, black sesame, pork floss, and salted egg yolk. Our faves included black sesame and mango! Definitely plan to share these because you can get tired of eating these pretty quickly, considering how big they are. Inside is small but clean. Ordering was through a kiosk and they called our order out in under 10 minutes. We came on a weeknight and there were 2-3 other parties there; not too busy! read more

I recommend eating these mochis fresh. I bought 4 but I could only finish 1. I had 3 in the fridge so they weren't as soft. But they're still chewy. The mochi were delicious, many toppings to choose from. I highly recommend it. I waited 20 minutes because they made them fresh. read more
I've seen Nuo Mochi all over Instagram, so my friend and I thought I'd come try it out. The line has gotten significantly shorter (I came on a Saturday afternoon), but even without a line, it still took about 20 minutes to get a mochi. I got the Dark Chocolate Mochi, and it was pretty much just mochi on the outside and a dark chocolate truffle on the inside. I'm not sure what I was really expecting, but it was pretty good, just not stunning. It was also around $7, which seemed to be a pretty steep price to me. My friend got the Mango Bobo Mochi, and she said it was a lot of cream cheese. Overall, I'd say it's worth a try once if you really like mochi, but I wouldn't come out of my way to get this again. read more
Huge mochi that has unique fillings from sweet to salty. I mean huge as you can see the pictures. I'd say it's about the size of a softball. To me they are a bit overwhelming and would almost prefer them smaller in size. The sesame nut ($3.50) is powdered or sugar texture. The pomelo mango ($7) was good but I would have liked it with just the fruit but I was not a fan of the cream cheese. The strawberry boba is mid but again I was not a fan of the cream cheese ($6.50). We ended up throwing e everything away after few bites. There is street parking in the front or parking lot in the back. read more
Saw the viral video on Instagram and decided to check it out. The only way to place an order is through the kiosk. When I was there on a Saturday afternoon, after I placed an order, it took 25 to 30 minutes to make. Wait time was very extremely long. The mochi doll was soft, but very sticky. It was almost too sticky to eat because it was stuck on my throat. I like the idea of all the flavors. The sesame mochi - was OK, mild sweet, but it was very dried. It was a lot of sesame. Taro with purple rice - it was very bland. Doesn't have much sweetness. Taro was so thick and dry. They have great concept but need to work on their ingredients, unfortunately read more

We came back yesterday because my bf was craving mochi for dessert. There was a long line of people waiting for their orders. Lucky for us, this mochi place is so close to my house that we didn't have to wait at the store and got to pick it up later at our convenience. From the time we placed the order at this kiosk to getting the ready for pickup text, it was about 35 minutes. They hand make their mochis there in real time. I could hear the mochis getting slapped haha. We ordered three mochis total around $19 with tax. Mochis are all super soft and chewy. Taro, Purple Rice, Red Bean Mochi Soybean Powder(Sweet) - our favorite out of the three even though we ate it the next day. It wasn't overly sweet- perfectt! Mango Pomelo BoBo Cream Cheese Mochi - our second favorite, had real chunks of pomelo and mango. Unqiue combo Matcha Green Grape Mochi(slightly bitter) - still good but not as good as the others and yes it was a little bitter but not bad at all. Had real chunks of green grapes inside. Overall, very satisfied with the mochis. It is definitely worth it for me especially because I don't have to wait as long. I remember seeing 77 orders ahead of mine at the time I placed my order. For those who are driving far to try this place, I would recommend ordering it first and then walking around or doing errands and then pick your order up after since it takes a while. They do take card. Parking is by the streets or behind the plaza they do have their designated parking. read more
Unfortunately underwhelmed by the mochi. Still very popular with a 30 minute wait in Sunday afternoon. Appreciate the hand made nature. Friendly service. Tried the black sesame and peanut mochi which was tasty but crumbly texture inside that falls apart when eating; may have been better if they had made this into a paste. The strawberry was heavy on the cream cheese and tasted mostly like strawberry cream cheese for bagels. read more

When you enter there are two kiosks to place your order. I got the following... 1. Matcha Green Grape- The grapes are crunchy and fresh and the matcha taste was great. 10/10 my favorite. 2. Passion fruit pineapple - Tart, sweet, and fresh. Really good. 9/10 3. Strawberry Creamcheese- Has actual strawberry pieces and it was good. 8/10 4. Taro Oreo- The oreo is good but as a taro hater, I did not like this one. If taro is something you like, you might enjoy this one. 5. Darian- I expected this one to taste like it did and it was different to say the least. My palate is definitely not used to it but if you are, you will be blown away! Very unique and I'm glad I got to try this. read more
PRO-TIP: Do NOT take your mochi across the street to Atlantic Times Square and knead it on the outdoor tables. The mochi WILL go through all hole and pop out of the plastic wrap resulting in disgusting waste. Finally had the chance to try this super trendy, I guess viral mochi since it was on everyone's feed for awhile. On the way to the maid cafe, I'd usually see a line outside and I'd say to myself I'd go try it when it's a weekday when it's not as busy, but I never wanted to make the U-turn loop around to do so. While we were walking around the area, we thought to ourselves, why not since we're already there. I remember when waiting for the mochi would take 2-3 hours and there was a horribly long giga line in the torrential rain. Man, people will be influenced by anything (but I guess that's how society works). When we went on a Sunday evening, it was around a 15 minute wait for us to get our order and they let you know by text. There's 2 ordering kiosks and you can order online for pick up too. Whichever is the most convenient. With that in mind, the shop's ambiance can feel quite chaotic and very busy since lots of people are there to wait for their order and many times they're not there by themselves. The workers are rushing too, to get out as many orders as possible, but just have your order text message, number, and name ready and you should be good. There's like a chair and small bench inside and fence bench seating outside. There's tables down the way in the plaza next to the dead fountain, but there's no chairs. For my order, I got the: 1) Black Sesame Matcha Chocolate Mochi: -This is one of their special flavors. -Pretty sizeable mochi, around the size of your fist or a softball if you have yuri hands. -Comes in a cup and wrapped in saran wrap. It's easier to bite into and eat this than to try to separate it into pieces and share. -The black sesame part was pretty good, I'll give them that. -However, the matcha part (I guess it's because it's matcha chocolate) is literally an unformed rectangular solid brick in the middle of the mochi. So you're getting a super chewy, gooey, exterior, grainy interior, and then a solid hard brick to bite into. Not appealing whatsoever. My mistake. Despite it being more popular, it wasn't that great and also looked extremely haunting as food gore. 2) Pure Durian Mochi: -I got this for my parents. They liked the durian flavor but was ugh with the overall gooey squishiness of the entire thing, including how mushy the durian was on the inside with how mushy the mochi was too. 3) Soybean Mochi and Dip: -This is their soybean powder mochi (no filling) and it comes with salted milk cream and Oreo. -Looks NOTHING like the illustration that's on their ordering menu. The picture clearly shows like 8 pieces, but you're only getting half of that. Also the Oreo dip looks cute with what looks like a Hello Koala in it, but it does NOT come with that. -The reason I even got this was because it looks like it came with a sizeable amount that I can share with my family AND it looked cute. I was scammed and baited. Wouldn't be surprise that the art is AI slop created for the menu. USE REAL PICTURES GUYS. Definitely not worth the hype at least for what I ordered and from what I've experienced. At least I didn't have to wait that long, but if I was there at the start of it all and got what I ordered, I'd be PISSED. read more
I ordered the strawberry bobo mochi and it was delicious! The filling inside had fresh strawberries with crystal boba and strawberry cream cheese. The mochi was chewy and soft! The filling and mochi were both not too sweet and surprisingly, did not taste very dense. The size of it was HUGE (the size of my fist). I couldn't finish it in one sitting, so I'd highly recommend sharing. I tried to refrigerate my leftovers, but it didn't taste as good the next day. Thus, make sure to enjoy right away! My only wish is that there was more crystal boba! Also, since the filling had an immense amount of cream cheese, it's definitely an acquired taste. We waited about 25 minutes for the mochi to be ready since it's made fresh. Free parking lot in rear. No space to sit inside, but there's a small bench outside that could seat around 7 people. Very small space; definitely more of a to-go spot. All in all, it was pretty good and I would definitely come back to try their other flavors. read more

Finally paying a visit after all the hype kinda toned down. No line at all on Friday afternoon, with option to pre-order online. Nonetheless, even if you didn't, self-order at the kiosk was seamless and quick. The clean petite venue provided some sitting for your waiting time or even for enjoying your mochi on the spot. I got one of their specialty mochi, whose price tag was quite steep IMO, but prolly justified by the gigantic size, literally filled the container cup. The mochi skin was perfectly chewy and fully stuffed with right balance of taro paste and cream cheese. I wished the soybean powder coating was thicker but I overall enjoyed it. I wouldn't disagree with some people saying that the portion was probably bit too much esp with heavy filling, that you might not be able to finish it in one sitting while it's best enjoyed fresh. So good input for them would be considering smaller size as an option? read more
Came here to try after all the posts on social media. Really big portion size for the mochi as expected given the price. I had the black sesame with matcha filling. The emoji on the outside is fresh indeed, but there he didn't layer. The filling mochi covering skin ratio is off by a lot. Too much feeling on the inside. Very heavy maybe after a few bites you will be done with the filling. Would like more mochi skin on the outside thickness. Cost was around $7.25 for this specific flavor? If I came back I would consider maybe getting one of the package options which might have just the mochi by itself with no fillings inside. And consider using the dipping option. read more

Finally trued the viral mochi but unfortunately was not my cup of tea, but my partnered like them. We came on a Thursday afternoon and there was no line, but all the salted egg yolk flavors were sold out. We tried these passionfruit pineapple cream and the seasonal black sesame matcha mochi. If they are made to order, I cannnot say but the textures of each filling were vastly different, but the orders did come out quickly. The black sesame flavor was there but the filling was quite hard to the mochi. The cream filling was super soft but the pineapple/passionfruit filling tasted like a canned fruit/ too sugary? The mochi was superrrr sticky which was where I was lost. It's the kind that sticks to your teeth immediately. read more

I would like to buy some as a gift for an elderly relative whom I will be visiting in the morning. Since this store won't be open early enough, I will need to buy it the day before. How long can these stay fresh? Recommendations?
I would recommend buying it as late as possible maybe around 9:15pm (they close at 9:30pm) for the next day. I have left mine (black sesame) out at room temperature and the mochi was not hard the next day. However, if you get the durian or cream…
What time should someone go for less than an hour wait time? When they open or close to close?
When they first open on a weekday
