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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Always walk by this location, decided to treat myself. There's an assortment of drinks, snacks, and treats. I like the decor despite limited seating since it's a petite location. I ordered the matcha frappe and red bean paste Taiyaki. Someone stole the internet cord previous night before I visited. Unfortunate thieves in dtla targeted this small business but they have other forms of payment via Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, and cash. The co owner I met was very nice despite circumstances. Hope they resolve and thief proof their important wires. Furthermore, the matcha frappe was icy but tasty. I optioned for oatmilk and the tasty red bean Taiyaki was made to order. I've read mixed reviews about their mochi but I'll return to try one with ice cream. There isn't a public restroom so plan accordingly. Yet the vibes are an aesthetic. read more

1 of my top favorite doughnut shops in LA. I love the diversity of different of flavors they have to offer and how the options change daily. I especially enjoy how fresh and delicious these doughnuts are with their unique texture/flavors. They have other cool/yummy looking items on their menu that I have yet to try like boba drinks & corn dogs! The shop itself is small, but adorable. The workers are always friendly & there's always good vibes anytime I stop by to buy donuts! I love their banana milk flavor because it's always topped with the honey smacks cereal (iykyk) which just so happens to also be my favorite cereal. Definitely stop by & check this spot out if you're in DTLA looking for something sweet & unique. read more

SO MF BOMB BITCH Sure! Here's a concise, Yelp-style doughnut review that sounds natural and credible: Came in craving something sweet and this doughnut did not disappoint. Fresh, soft, and perfectly fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The glaze wasn't overpowering and the dough itself had great flavor, which is something a lot of places miss. You can tell these are made fresh and with care. I only meant to get one, but that plan didn't last long. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and need a solid doughnut fix.

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!

Pink's Hot Dogs

I've been coming…read morehere for almost 40 years and as this world keeps changing having Pink's stay the same for all these years is comforting. 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.

I tried Pink's Hot Dogs for the first time (crazy that it took me so long because it's an absolute…read moreLA institution!). I appreciate that they've stuck with their old school vibe because it really makes the experience. They have so many hot dog options! And a pretty extensive menu overall with hamburgers, etc. I got the Pink's Famous Chili Dog and, honestly, I get why it's a classic. The chili was really delicious, not super oily. Good ratio of hot dog to chili. Very fun experience and would definitely come again!

Either way, bacon-wrapped hot dogs are staple in the culture of LA. It's what makes us so damn awesome!

Mochinut donuts are a unique and fun twist on traditional donuts, combining the chewy texture of mochi with the familiar sweetness of a donut. Each bite has a bouncy, soft texture that's unlike anything from a regular donut shop. The shape -- a ring of connected balls -- makes them easy to pull apart and share. The flavors are where Mochinut really shines. They offer a wide variety, from classic glazed to more adventurous ones like matcha, ube, churro, and black sesame. The donuts are often beautifully decorated and have a lightly crispy outside with a satisfyingly chewy interior. Price-wise, they are a little more expensive than your typical donut, but you're paying for something that's freshly made, visually appealing, and a little bit different. They are perfect for when you want a sweet treat that's a bit out of the ordinary. Overall, Mochinut donuts are a must-try for anyone who loves chewy desserts, Asian-inspired flavors, or just wants a fun and Instagram-worthy snack. read more

Okay, all I can say is I've never had a donut this yummy. I mean, I'm no expert but we do tend to try out popular foodie spots from Yelp whenever the opportunity presents itself. I followed this shop's Instagram page and it just so happened (?) to come up in my feed when we were in Downtown. They are on the pricier side. We purchased a dozen and it was approximately $30. That being said, I would definitely buy them again. They have a good selection of donuts and change them every 3 days. The employees make the line move pretty quickly. There's bound to be something, actually, most likely a LOT of goodies, for everyone! We will definitely be back for those Korean corndogs!! The dough on these are a nice crunchy outside, pillowy inside taste of goodness. If clouds had a texture and flavor, it would be this. Parking could be a bit tricky but there is some indoor AND outdoor seating. Last but not least, you will inevitably gain weight if you fail to hit the gym afterwards! read more

If you're anywhere near downtown LA and haven't tried Somochi yet, you're seriously missing out. These donuts are next level--crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and just the right amount of sweet. They're made mochi-style, so you get that addictive texture in every bite. The flavors rotate, which is dangerous because it makes you want to come back constantly. Ube, matcha, churro, black sesame--you really can't go wrong. Everything tastes super fresh, and they look almost too good to eat (but you'll eat them anyway, fast). The shop itself is small and cute, and the staff is always friendly and chill. You can tell they care about what they're serving. Bottom line: Somochi is a must-visit if you're into donuts--or honestly, even if you're not. These things might just convert you. read more

Moochie Donut in downtown LA is a true delight! Their donuts are a cloud of perfection, fried to an airy, melt-in-your-mouth finish. The toppings? Oh-so-unique, they add an element of fun and excitement to each bite. I couldn't resist trying the cheese sticks - apologies, I can't recall their official name, but they were an experience! While I'm not sure if it's something I'd indulge in again, I believe everyone should give it a shot. Regarding service, I had an Uber Eats delivery, so I can't speak to that aspect. But if you're in for a one-of-a-kind donut experience, Moochie is where it's at! read more

The store is small but I guess you don't need a big space. This is the second time I have had there donuts. It's a different spin on what is a donut. Since I never been to Korea. Just another way to try their street foods in the USA. And being so close to work for a treat is great. I do however want to try their drinks. They look good and refreshing. Anyways try them out if you are in downtown LA. It's in the Japanese district. So many cool things to look at while you are in the area. read more

Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'd definitely recommend Crepes de Paris to anyone looking for delicious crepes and great customer service.

Their ice cream flavors and the presentation called out to me so I had to grab a cup while I was waiting for my number to be called at Tatsu Ramen. I guess it was my lucky night that I found them parked on side of this shopping center on Sawtelle, across from Daiso. I'm certainly glad I got my dessert before dinner! The black cat coffee crisp is perfect for the coffee lover like myself. It's organic French roasted Arabica coffee ice cream rolled then topped with roasted pecans, chocolate covered feuilletine, crushed dark chocolate coffee beans, drizzle of chocolate syrup, an Oreos cookie, and a s'mores marshmallow. The rolls were cold and chewy, didn't melt while eating like some other ones I've had. $10 for a cup is worth sharing and trying at least once for the experience. The ice cream maker might even bounce to the beat while making your rolls. I can't wait to come back to try the malted Thai tea and the Ube crunch.

The thirst is real for this truck…read more I'm sure there's a real yelp business for them... At least I think there is. I looked but couldn't find them. I have been craving Blue Nova for the past 2 weeks since I've had it. I haven't had ice cream this wonderful for a very long time. The rolls had a very long wait. I was getting irritated cause it was taking so long. And it cost $10. Long wait and expensive?! My sour tune changed when I took my first bite of heaven inside that cup. This delicious little cup of ice cream was worth $10 and even more so worth the wait. My husband wanted to treat me to something for my hard work as a stay at home mom. Me thinking, Babe it's a little pricey...But he said you deserve it with love in his eyes so I said ok. I looked at the menu and decided on the UBAECRUNCH. What a wonderful decision that was. The rolls are made of organic milk. It is thick and really creamy. You can taste the difference from other roll places. I feel that other roll places dilute their milk...Idk and honestly don't care. Blue Nova was one of the four places I've tried and it beats them all, hands down. And to those that think this is one of those fake reviews, it isn't. I don't know any of these people. I am just a dessert loving gal looking to enjoy what the dessert world has to offer.

A few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon my wife and I decided to walk on over for some sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised with how quick it was to walk in, order, walk out, walk home, and eat. I was pretty hungry when I came and settled on ordering a Chipotle Chicken Club which is Chicken Breast, Bacon, Cheese, Organic Greens, Tomatoes & Chipotle Aioli on a Baguette. The sandwich itself took maybe 5 minutes to make (with my wife's sandwich) and cost about $14 which is definitely a little more then I would like to spend for basically a 6 inch, but it's a small downtown sandwich shop so it is what it is. The sandwich itself tasted really good and i have zero complaints about it. The bread seemed fresh, the meat was good, and the veggies topped it all off. Overall, Marie's Coffee & Deli is a simple sandwich shop and a great place to get a quick lunch. Thanks to it's convenient location, I'll definitely be back in the future for some more.

While we were looking at the website beforehand, she spotted McConnell's Fine Ice Creams and immediately locked onto it. So the moment we arrived, we went searching for it. When she saw the case full of flavors, she lit up. McConnell's has a great selection, and she loved that you can get your ice cream in a cone, a cup, or her personal favorite; a cup with a cone on top. She chose a small cup of Sprinkle Cake with a sugar cone, and she was over the moon. The team working there was incredibly kind and patient with her, which made the experience even better. She took one bite and said the ice cream was "wicked good." She's officially a fan. McConnell's made her day, and that alone makes it worth the stop.
