Reviews Summary

Overall, reviews are mixed but lean positive. Many praise the mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs, and pork buns for their taste and texture, with some calling them "divine" or "elite." Friendly service and cute decor are frequently highlighted. However, several criticize stale or greasy donuts, poor customer service, and inconsistent quality. Some find the donuts overhyped or lacking flavor, while others adore their chewiness and variety. A few mention long wait times or mismatched hours. The experience seems highly dependent on timing and staff—when good, it's exceptional; when bad, it's deeply disappointing.

Customer Reviews

????? I ordered 60 mochi donuts from Mochi Donuts for my son?s birthday party, and I couldn?t be happier with the experience! Hanna, the owner, was incredibly friendly, organized, and punctual. The donuts arrived right on time in beautifully neat packaging, and they were absolutely delicious?so fresh and full of flavor! Everyone at the party loved them. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for amazing mochi donuts and top-notch service!

Mochi Donut is our weekly go to spot! We look forward to seeing what new flavors they have, cookies n cream is my daughter?s favorite. It?s not like a traditional donut, has much more texture and flavor! We also love the waffles. This place is a must try!

I have been wanting to try the Korean corn dogs for soooo long. At Mochi in Tampa You can get them in pretty much any combination. (including all cheese!) The lady inside was so nice and welcoming and they turned out to be everything I was hoping for. My daughter just had a donut and loved it also. I?m so happy we finally stopped in. The hot Cheeto with all cheese is elite!

This place has such yummy food! We fell in love with the cute decor and pretty doughnuts. Our favorite were the Strawberry and strawberry funnel cake mochi doughnuts, and were huge fans of the beef and mozzarella corn dog ??

If you?ve never had a mochi doughnut before, just know they are a different texture than regular doughnuts. It was my first time trying one, and personally I loved it. I thought the doughnuts were cute and delicious. Cookies and cream was my favorite! The Korean corndog was good, a little different from the ones I?ve had elsewhere . I got a basic corndog with mozzarella only. It was hot, fresh, crispy, and the cheese was ooey gooey. The other ones I?ve had, they dip them in sugar which I did miss that.. so

My experience at MochiDonuts in Tampa was nothing short of delightful. The service was exceptional, with employees who were not only super nice but also seemed like they could've been the owners?they were that invested and attentive. The star of the show, of course, was the donuts themselves. Each bite was a burst of flavor and creativity. My personal favorite was the strawberry sprinkle mochi donut. The combination of chewy mochi texture with the fresh strawberry flavor and sprinkles on top was simply div

I had such a wonderful experience at Mochinut! The boba was honestly the best I?ve ever had ? super fresh, flavorful, and just perfect. What made the visit even more special was the amazing customer service. Sanad, a kind Palestinian man who helped me, was incredibly respectful and welcoming. I?ll definitely be coming back ? highly recommend this place if you want great boba and even better service!

Stopped in today with my grandma and will be coming back the next time I am in town. We both got a potato corn dog, a steamed pork bun, and of course one doughnut each. My grans devoured her food and was very pleased with everything. The corn dogs are messy but crispy! so extra napkins next time ??. I also enjoyed my food and my chocolate caramel doughnut (she got the peach).It was everything I hoped for and the food was fresh and flavorful. I also loved the aesthetic of the place and enjoyed being able to

DONUT come here, anyone that tells you otherwise is glazing this place, i came for dinner and left with my stomach full but my heart empty. really bad and stale, wouldn't recommend, there's a TON of other spots in the area 100x better. DONUT?? waste your money here. only 2 stars for atmosphere cuz there was some effort put into decoration

I love donuts so mochi ?? The owner was so sweet and very attentive. New spot in the north Tampa area: @mochidonut_tampa did NOT disappoint. Yes I had dessert before dinner, but the ring of donuts had a crispy outside and a deliciously chewy inside, with a chocolate glaze on top *chefs kiss* Highly recommend Now for the second course: we got the classic #koreancorndog with half cheese, half beef. JUST LOOK AT THAT #CHEESEPULL ?? ***update in this review Eat the donuts fresh! They don?t really hold u

Decided to try a chocolate mochi donut. The texture is different from your classic donuts but still sooo good. We got there towards the end of the day so a lot of flavors were sold out, but I would definitely go back and get a half dozen next time.

This location is so cute!! The staff are friendly and the pork buns are amazing! I love that they have a variety of food, not just hotdogs and doughnuts.

The girl at the counter is very sweet, her and her mom make the donuts highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area

Surprisingly mochi donuts are very good. We got Ube and Pistachio. they are Soft and flavorful. Would come back again soon.

The hot dogs are amazing! You get a very satisfying crunch with every bite, and so much cheese. I will order them again. The donuts are good too! The chero one was my favorite.

I had a really disappointing experience here due to the poor customer service. The staff was rude and dismissive, and it felt like helping customers was an inconvenience to them. I came in expecting a friendly atmosphere and left feeling completely unwelcome. I won?t be returning.

We entered the place and everything was bad, my father greeted the lady who attended us and the lady neither looked at him nor greeted him or anything, she was very disrespectful and only for TWO corndogs it took 30 almost 40 minutes to do it, very bad customer service I had better expectations of this place but 0 recommended, I left very upset

I love the mochi donuts here so as the Korean corn dog and pork bun worth the 2 hours drive. Please go to Mochi donut Not I repeat Not the Mochinut

We stopped in while on vacay. I had higher hopes for mochi donuts. They were good, but just donuts - nothing special.

I love this spot! Best mochi donuts - wayyy better than Mochinut! Donuts are fresh. If you think mochinut is good, this place is wayyy better the donuts are just better and better flavor and fresh! Overall just a 100/10.

My daughter and I loved Mochi Donut Tampa! Everything was so fresh and hot! They had the BEST Korean Corndogs, hot & crunchy! We are going back today? so excited!! Even bringing back some donuts for my sons football practice!

The best customer service ever, very friendly and very welcoming. The store is very organized, clean , and super cute. The donuts are so delicious from the strawberry frosted one to the chocolate. You definitely should check it out!!

Stopped in with the wife, picked up some late night donuts for the weekend. Been snacking for the last 2 days on donuts with amazing texture and flavor. Highly recommend, coming back for more.

The best donuts I have ever had!! Great customer service, super friendly and they make you feel like family, I went to Florida from Boston on a vacation for a couple days with my wife, and I stopped by there to try the donuts since I?m a donut lover, come to find out I had the best experience of my life! It?s definitely worth it, prices are great, if I ever go back I?ll deff come by again without a doubt.

My boyfriend and I were here on vacation. We saw the place and decided to give it a try. We shared a cookies and cream donut because the lady there informed us that it was their most popular. BY far the best donuts we have both had. Super soft and lovely texture and the icing on top was fantastic. She gave us a bottle of water for free because we asked for tap water and she said that it was gross lol. And the place was super cute and nice and clean.

Corn Dog: Delicious. The crunch and the sweetness of the dog with the richness of the cheese. Perfectly reminds me why I love Korean corn dogs. If you like them you've got to try them here. 5 stars I rated it a 3 because the donuts are the main draw. My rating of a 3 means there's room for improvement but they are worth trying still Donuts: Needs to really get the flavor profiles right. The donut in itself is perfectly crisp and crunchy on the outside soft and chewy on the inside. It is quite delicious. H

All donut flavors are good. My personal favorite is the strawberry funnel one.

The decor and aesthetic is super cute. Customer service was okay. The donuts were disappointing for what we paid for them. We got the matcha, two strawberry funnel cakes(barely taste the strawberry) chocolate, cookies and cream(the best one out of them all), and a cinnamon sugar(disappointing because we expected the whole donut to be covered but it was just barely on the top). I really really wanted to love this place, but it?s just a chewier donut that lacks flavor.

VEGAN'S BEWARE!!!!! I was in Tampa and searched Google for Vegan donuts. I checked the reviews and there were some Vegan donuts reviews, to make sure Mochi sold Vegan donuts, I called and spoke with an employee and was informed that they do sell Vegan donuts. My husband and son-in-law went inside the establishment to get the donuts. I informed them to ask again the make sure the donuts were Vegan because of bad experience prior from other restaurants. Both came out with donuts, and I asked them which were V

Doughnuts/ balls were not fresh at all. The bakery case was half empty at open and product looked old. They had about 5 flavors and only 1 looked appealing. I love everything mochi but this place needs to do better (looked online at the doughnuts and the presentation was even off).

Everyone just be very aware that this place is not a Mochinut they basically completely rip off the color scheme and branding to make it seem like it is but it?s like an off chain place that?s selling their own style of Korean corn, dogs and mochi donuts. They are no nowhere near the quality of the actual mochi brand and their selection is horrible and the customer service is bad

I really wanted to love this place. It's clean and the decor is pretty. The girl working the front counter could use a little help with customer service. I went in for the Korean dogs. Ordered 4 paid $25. Only to get cold, stale and old dogs. When I saw her reaching for them in the display case I immediately requested to have fresh ones. She told me they were fresh. She's a liar. They were gross. The man from the kitchen came out and explain that the reason they do not make them fresh to order is because

Mochinut flavors weren?t overpowering, tasty and they were so soft to bite into. Corn dogs were fresh when served (10 minute or less wait) Sauce bar available. Cheese sauce is super delish

Absolutely fantastic donuts and Korean hot dogs. The Cheeto dusted hot dog is one of an otherworldly creation. This place is worth every cent spent on it no matter how many times you go it's an absolute treasure.

THE BEST DONUTS IN FLORIDA!!!!!! Not too sweet, not greasy AT ALL, these are perfect!! And the corn dogs are amazing!! The cheese pull is so satisfying and fried to perfection! The Taro donut and hot Cheeto corn dog is my fav combo ???????? the inside is super cute and incredibly clean! Best mochi donuts in the US easily!

I enjoy the mochi donut flavors, nothing too crazy. Only have a couple concerns. I wish their donuts were 1) made fresh to order and 2) the flavors of the week STAYS FOR A WEEK. Some people are willing to wait a few minutes for fresh donuts. And that way I can get the flavors I want and buy more than none cause it ran out that day. The flavors of the week would be mentioned on Instagram but it?s not the same day to day. I recommend calling ahead to see what flavors they actually have that day and what is

Brought my son here for an after school treat. Ended up buying a half dozen donuts to come home with us that my husband and I polished off that evening cuz they were so good. Will have to come back and try the corn dogs and pork buns cuz they looked really good too. The place also has cute decor

The quality of Mochi Donuts is top-notch. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into crafting these treats, as the taste and texture are consistently amazing.

Mochi Donuts offers a delightful array of flavors, making it difficult to choose just one. Each bite is a delightful surprise, and I always leave with a smile on my face.

The decor and place is very nice. However, the donuts are soooo GREASY I was nauseous after words. When you bite into them, they don?t really have much flavor all you pretty much taste is the oil.??

the customer service was horrible. They had asked me what was my order atleast 4 times after I said clearly I wanted 3 hot Cheeto Korean corn dog and the lady was very rude and said I need to be more clear and caused a scene. Will be my first and last time there.

The Mochi Donuts at this bakery are simply divine. The soft, chewy texture and delightful flavors make them a must-try for any dessert lover.

Was excited to see one of these open near me. Very disappointed in the service. Came in, was not greeted by the gentleman cleaning, he was out front and after we came in he went behind the counter, could still see us. After waiting another 10 minutes I just left without being given an opportunity to order. MUCHINUT has better selection and customer service. Will be taking my business to them instead.

Don't fall for the Instagram hype. Donuts are chewy with pasty frosting, customer service is non-existent, and it's 100? inside. Definitely not worth the money.

I can't get enough of Mochi Donuts! They are a perfect blend of traditional Japanese mochi and American donuts, resulting in an incredible treat that satisfies my sweet cravings.

The service is great, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. The donuts are fluffy, tasty, and varied, and the pork buns were hot, with a sweet fluffy bun with a delicious filling.

Mochi Donuts is an absolute gem! The unique combination of mochi and donuts creates an unforgettable taste that keeps me coming back for more. Highly recommended!

Got 6 different donuts and they were all amazing. Served hot in a nice box and the price was much better than the other local mochi donut shop I've tried

I waited 20 minutes standing in their face and finally got my order, the donuts were thin and not tasty. Customer service was not good, don't waste your time here.

The best attention, always TEMPLE TERRACE... I love my Mochinut??

Great donuts! Also got some steamed pork buns which were also great. Definitely will be returning.

They also offer halal meat corndogs if you request it!

Inside there is cream and fruit, so the texture is just mouth-watering, it's great to eat cold on a hot day.?

High-end services and very delicious donuts...I loved the place. Thank you ??

Business isn't open yet and has BS reviews. Looking forward to later this month. The owners are great people and their donuts are delicious! Dont believe the BS reviews!

Everything was delicious!!! The corn dogs and donuts ?? & reasonably priced compared to others

My friend and I are vacationing so we went to this small shop on a whim! Loved the vibes: very calm, the decor inside was beautiful, and the food was great! The donut we ordered was really good (not too sweet; named something with ?crunch? and on display for everyone to pick and see), and our corn dogs were delicious! I had gotten the Hot Cheeto corn dog while my friend got the Takis. The lady there was very nice and respectful and did not skimp on the dust with the Korean Corn Dogs and filled it with so mu
