    I was given a coconut instead of glaze but ended up trading out the Ube for glaze.
    Nai Q.

    I originally Googled Mochinut, but the directions led me to a parking lot. I noticed a small pink shop from inside the parking lot, (near the Olive St exit). SOMOCHI: The worker inside the shop said this location may have been a Mochinut but they went bankrupt (or something like that), so now they operate independently. He didn't seem too sure though, and I haven't fact checked it yet, so take with a... "grain-nu-lated" sugar! ;-) MOCHINUTS: - Flavor selection was pretty limited. + A small paper near the display area says they rotate a new flavor every few days. + I ordered three mochinuts, including an original glaze. + The donuts sit on a big spoon-looking tray between the kitchen and cashier (not a traditional display case), looks pretty cool. - The view gets blocked though while the donuts are being boxed. FAST FORWARD: In the car, I open the box to snap a photo for my fellow, faithful Yelpiies and realize I don't see my glaze? No big deal. CUSTOMER SERVICE PLOT TWIST: I go back in, show him the photo, and ask which one is the glaze. He looks at the photo and says, "Oh... I don't think I gave you that one." Then the young fellas proceeds to stare at me, many blank stares lol until I ask if he wants to replace it. DONUT SAFETY LOOP: He says "yes", but asks me to bring the donut back from my car. It felt weird. Once a donut makes it into someone's car & has been opened for a photo (which I showed him) it's a little questionable asking for the donut back, no? It's been exposed to outside elements. It's going to be tossed away right? Right. Right?? Benefit of the doubt, maybe he tossed it? Maybe he ate it himself? I just hope it didn't end up back on that big spoon thing... Doesn't feel outside the realm of possibility here. The whole exchange made me feel a little iffy about eating the Mochi's I already purchased. Like what's the history of my donut before it made it in the box lol. NOTE TO SELF: In 2026, start responding to passive service moments with: "So... Do you want to present me with some solutions?" Lol. TAKEAWAYS: + Thankful I typically do solo test runs before bringing or introducing loved ones. - Mochinut is still a brand, but it looks like several locations have closed due to health code issues, with some replaced by other mochi donut shops. This location might be one of them. - + Dear social media users: Y'all photos be cute, but when the aesthetic gets curated harder than the experience, the honest reviews end up being the most helpful one.

    Pretty decent to hit that oddly specific chewy mochi donut craving iyk. Best compliment for any Asian dessert is not too sweet of course, and the donuts chew was just right. However, although we tried so many flavors, the cream layer on top was not hitting the perfect amount - was kind of thin and not super distinct from each other, each flavor could almost kind of taste the same. Drinks are cutie though, overall cutie!

    Cute little pink shop in DTLA. Walking distance from my office. Near Bottega Louie and Whole Foods. No parking except for street. Only 1 worker, nice young lady. Decided to buy half a dozen of the mochi donuts. I chose the fruity pebbles, matcha, black sesame, churro, chocolate pretzel, and rice crispy. My favorites were the matcha and black sesame. Also tried the Hot Cheetos mochi cheese corn dog to walk the office and eat. It was actually really good!! Loved the cheese pull.

    I parked at the parking lot right next to place and came across this little store as I was walking out of the lot, so I decided to give it a try. The store is a bit small, with very limited seating. I ordered their black sesame mochi donut to-go and was in and out of the place without 5 minutes. The donut was good (4/5). It was crispy and chewy, but the black sesame flavor was lacking. The cream was thin and looked like it kinda melted onto the donut. I wish was it more opaque and flavorful, but the donut itself was good. The service was good and they did offer a variety of flavors. I believe they also sell corn dogs and drinks. The ambiance is cute with their neon lights and colorful palette. I'm glad I randomly stumbled upon this place next to the parking lot. I do recommend checking this place out if you are craving mochi donuts.

    Its my first time coming here&the inside is decorated cute with a flower wall and there are some tables and chairs to sit inside or outside. They do a spin the wheel w a review so thats cute(: the lady working here was very nice as well(: The donuts itself i got matcha and mango, the icing is good but the donut itself is a bit too chewy for my liking. My friend got the redbean taiyaki and she loved it. Will be coming back another time to try their bingsu

    The chocolate churro mochi donut was warm, delicious, chewy, and delightful. It truly brought me back to life. A perfect sweet treat. The chocolate milkshake was okay but nothing to write home about. The service was friendly and quick! The ambiance is very cute and friendly!

    Great location and walkable for a lot of hotels in DTLA. Super fresh mochi donuts and the best strawberry matcha. I love how they seal the drinks in a can so you can buy a few and they stay fresh in the fridge for a few days. Worth a stop! Parking on side streets is hit or miss.

    Love love MOCHI DONUTS HERE AT MOCHINUT!!! So good perfect consistency of chewiness ! Good service , chill ambiance Blue dragon fruit: the flavor is whatever but the gummies on top was so good. Red velvet Ube donut is my fave !!! 10/10 overall I recommend pairing with a tea that's not as sweet would be nice. Follow me for more foodie adventures -LIVING WITH LUCI XOXO :)

    Come here for a quick sweet treat! There's about two tables for outdoor seating but you'll probably just end up standing outside and eating your treats because the inside is super duper tiny. We ordered donuts and they were good but sadly they couldn't warm them up. Since we arrived at 8pm, our donuts were cold ): I wish they could warm up my donuts As far as parking, we found free street parking nearby on a Thursday evening, but I don't know what it's like on a weekend.

    Moochi = Korean Hot Dogs + Donuts = Cuteness & Cravings in One Spot! This tiny stand might be small, but it's PACKED with flavor and charm. Moochi is serving up two of my favorite things: crispy Korean hot dogs and fluffy, chewy donuts -- all in one cute little spot! Moochi Korean Hot Dogs Crunchy, cheesy, and totally satisfying. You can customize your hot dog with mozzarella, sausage, or both, and choose fun toppings like spicy mayo, ketchup, and even sugar. Everything is made fresh, and it hits that perfect Korean street food vibe. Moochi Donuts & Taiyaki Right at the same stand, they've got daily rotating donut flavors that are so soft and chewy (mochi-style!). Plus, the taiyaki -- adorable fish-shaped waffles -- can be filled with cheese or red bean, OR used as a cone for soft serve. It's almost too cute to eat. Almost. Don't skip the drinks! They have slushy coffee and sparkling Korean Bona drinks to cool you down. Such a fun, quick stop with tons of personality. Whether you're grabbing a hot dog, donut, or both (which you should), Moochi is a must-try snack spot. I'll definitely be back to see what flavors they've got next!

    It was my first time ordering mochi donuts here, and I was really disappointed--especially since I'd heard so many great things about this place. The cashier who took my order didn't seem very professional. I had to repeat my order several times because he kept forgetting, and when I paid in cash, he gave me the wrong change. My total was $37.32, and I gave $40.32, but I only got about $1.70 back--several dollars short of what I should have received. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I got home because I was in a rush. Honestly, if a cashier can't handle basic math or provide accurate change, they probably shouldn't be working the register.

    First time here, came on a Wednesday nice, I love the vibes and the set up is so cute, Leonardo helped Me out. He was super cool and friendly. He recommended the Matcha Brown Sugar Milk Tea and it was so delicious, I also got two mochi donuts and a "DTLA Special" Korndog box for $29.99 total deal. Definitely will be telling all My friends and will be coming back.

    Do you have vegan options?

    Nope

    If i pick these up the night before an event will they still be good the next day?

    I don't think so. I had a few left and within a few hours they were too hard. Like most donuts get after being left out for too long.

    This place is always recommended to me on Yelp anytime I try to find places to eat in Little Tokyo…read moreand technically it's in the Arts District, but it's within walking distance. I've had my brother and several friends say that it's good and since we were closer to this area for a pop up event, we dropped by and I finally had a chance to try it. We visited during the final game of the World Cup, so there was no more indoor dining, but there's a couple bench tables outside at the side of the building. Part of the building shades over the seating, so even on a pretty hot day, this worked in a pinch and there was a slight breeze too, thank goodness. Staff was helpful and and answered our questions. They also brought our order out to the tables outside, which was nice. They also took our trash and tray back when we were done too. Each table has ketchup, brown and spicy mustard if need be. Inside, you order and pay at the cashier, grab a number, and they bring it to you. There's a bunch of sausage links on display, as well as the sodas and you can see some of the beer that they have too. For our Sunday lunch, we got the: 1) Sunset Zero soda: -It's an imported German soda. Love that there's a zero sugar version. It's a citrus cola with ending vanilla notes. Way better than some of the orange Pepsi/Pepsi Fire they ran in the past. Nice to try. 2) Rattlesnake & Rabbit with Jalapeno Peppers: -Unique combination of predator and prey meats all encased into one sausage. Also, not often you can get these meats as well. -Slight spicy kick to it from the jalapenos and rich, buttery texture of the meats together. -Each hot dog comes with 2 toppings and we got caramelized onions and sauerkraut with this which added a nice sour and sweet taste to it too. -I liked this the most of the 2 of them. 3) Pheasant with Herbs de Provence: -Nice savory flavor, but I was a fool and ordered this with the sweet and spicy peppers as a topping since they were different from the other toppings we got and I mostly just tasted the bitter aftertaste of the peppers that sort of overpowered the meats. My mistake if anything since the bites with just meat and mustard were delicious. 4) Groot of Belgian Fries: -Huge serving, way too much for 2 people especially with 2 hot dogs and we sadly could not finish it, but at the very least it came with 2 dipping sauces. -Before ordering this, I didn't groot referred to anything other than a Marvel character. -Fries had a rich, deeper flavor than standard fries, nice slight crispiness. We got it with curry ketchup and sundried tomato mayo. The tomato mayo was fine, definitely a lighter flavor and since the fries tasted so rich on their own, I feel like the curry ketchup was a more flavorful and better match. I love a good hot dog, so being able to try it with more exotic meats, flavors, and sauces makes it definitely worth stopping by.

The space has a dark, industrial vibe, and I loved seeing the sausage display when you walk in. We shared the duck & bacon, mango jalapeño, rattlesnake & rabbit, and the Klein. The duck & bacon was easily our favorite. It was juicy and packed with flavor. The mango jalapeño had a nice balance of sweet and savory but I wish it had more heat. The rattlesnake & rabbit was interesting but could've used a little more salt. I also loved the toasted buns, sauerkraut, and caramelized onions. The fries were fluffy inside but I wish they were a little crispier. I also loved their beer selection and they let us sample a few before ordering. If you go definitely get the Kasteel Tropicale!! It was my favorite beer of the night! The service was great and the cashiers gave us awesome recommendations. Overall, I'd definitely come back. It's a fun spot to grab beers and sausages with friends!

For more than 80 years, Pink's Hot Dogs has been a true Los Angeles institution, drawing generations of locals and tourists from around the world to experience one of the city's most iconic food destinations. Founded in 1939 as a humble hot dog cart, Pink's has built its legendary reputation by serving classic hot dogs with unforgettable flavors while staying true to its roots. My favorite is the spicy Polish dog topped with rich chili, melted cheese, and fresh raw onions. The spicy sausage has the perfect kick, while the savory chili and creamy cheese create an incredible combination that keeps you coming back for another bite. The crunchy raw onions add just the right amount of freshness and texture to finish it off. Don't skip the French fries! They're perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and the ideal side to pair with one of Pink's famous hot dogs. Whether you're a lifelong Angeleno or visiting Southern California for the first time, Pink's is a must-visit. The long line is part of the experience, and after more than eight decades, it's easy to understand why this legendary spot continues to delight both locals and visitors alike. Pink's isn't just a place to grab a hot dog--it's a piece of Los Angeles history.
