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.
So disappointed in this location and there have been times I've ordered occasionally from this location especially on Uber Eats. My partner and I were craving some Korean dogs and we ordered some. What we received was atrocious. We received to burn corn dogs and they were inedible. We contacted Uber Eats for a refund but I won't be ordering from here again. So much for our cravings.
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!
Bought two drinks and mochi donuts both are 10/10 also the owner was very helpful and great service, definitely coming back soon
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.

Didn't have the greatest experience here but there's room for improvement so wanted to share my thoughts. To give a picture of our encounter: We arrive and was looking at mochi donut options. There was one person working, said hello when we walked in and we were waiting for him to approach us. When that didn't happen, we just flagged him down that we were ready. We listed the flavors we wanted and then he says 'OK.' Awkward pause and then we were like yes, that's it. Then he does a double take and realizes we were actually putting an order in but at this point doesn't remember all we listed so say it a 2nd time. The box seems too large for the size of the donuts where there was a lot of space. and the box wasn't lined. We were bringing as a dinner gift so not the most appealing presentation. Last, the flavor - it was a whole lot of just tasting 'sweet' and just sugar than the distinct flavors. The matcha tasted like sugar for example. Some of the toppings were not the freshest like the lucky charms cereal which has a stale taste. The mochi donut itself had a harder exterior (which could allude to it's freshness), and a slightly chewy center. Can't say I would come back, but there is potential here! 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

This is amazing. The drinks are delicious I get the Thai tea. The KOREAN CORN DOGS is where it's at!!! 100/10 recommend. They have such a nice crispy crust. The cheese is cheesy and pulls nicely. The hot Cheetos one is delicious and the cheesling elote is fire. Both amazing. It's better than Two Hands Korean Dogs imo. Also the staff is ALWAYS NICE. Never had a bad experience. Not a lot of seating it's more of grab and go. read more

If the cereal dog comes out THIS burnt every time it's cooked, it really shouldn't be on the menu. This is the 2nd time that I've gotten a Korean corn dog from this place and it looked tossed together. For them charging more than actual Korean Corn Dog spots, they are not worth the $7 they charge, with this quality. 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

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.
