Sara's full firsthand review

Pretty good. Warm, crispy yet chewy at the same time. A mochi donut should have that distinct chewiness. This location serves up some good products. Everything is fresh and customer service is great. They have these new mochi balls that are a little different than their mochi donuts. Chewy, soft, yet there's a filling inside the mochi balls. Plenty of flavors to choose from. For the mochi balls we chose matcha. Yummy with a creamy matcha filling inside the ball. For the mochi donut we chose pistachio as well as their yogurt flavor. These two flavors must be new. I've never seen them before and I often visit various locations of Mochinut. This location, as well as the Chinatown location are definitely my favorites. A few other ones serve their mochi donuts cold. Tea beverage's are plenty on the menu. We opted for Thai tea with less sweetness and full ice. Crisp and creamy. Good flavor and paired well with the donuts. Open air environment and plenty of windows. This area is a bit further out with where I typically venture, but will definitely be back to visit and grab more mochi donuts. I also liked how the sweets weren't too sweet. Chewy and yum. Perfect on this Friday evening. Until next time!
