Customer Reviews

Despite grabbing these right before they closed, the mochi donuts were pretty good! We tried ube, churro, matcha, and coffee. We liked the ube the best. Tbh I couldn?t really taste the matcha, and the coffee was a little too sweet for me, but I really liked the texture of their donuts.

Honestly I'm not usually a fan of mochi donuts. I got a bunch as a gift to someone else, but ended up getting to try most of them. To my surprise, I ended up enjoying all of them and eating way more than I should. The freshness and consistency of the dough was just perfect, and the toppings are good and sweet but not just dumping out sugar to the point where it makes no sense. The guy who worked there was friendly too.

One day I was working with some friends and someone from the place invited us to try the donuts. This was a few days before the place opened and I want to say that the workers are nice, the place is clean and beautiful(perfect for the gram) and the donuts are delicious. I got to try a takoyaki donut but when I came back I didn't find one, I don't know if they are selling them or not. You can taste the quality and flavor in each one and they are chewy as they should be. I recommend this place. I know that th

Happened to walk by while on a break and noticed they were doing a soft opening so decided to try em out. Pretty tasty and good flavor variety. Plus they do rice hotdogs?!?! Prices were a little on the high side though. With it being a soft opening and all I just hope they are able to reduce the wait times once they are up and fully running. Demand on this street is there if you can keep it up. I have a feeling I?ll be back anyway when the craving hits and just order and come back after I go grab a coffee.

Great texture and everything tasted very fresh. Got the matcha Oreo, guava with coconut, and ube sugar flavors. The guava was a light flavor but nice flavor, the ube sugar exceeded expectations (I torched it at home and it was delicious and less messy), but the matcha was neither matcha-y nor Oreo-y. Would try the other flavors, happy this is in the neighborhood. $3/donut

I've been wanting to try this place so I finally got a chance to! Came here for a Korean hot dog and got the crispy potato one with half hot dog, half cheese. It came out huge but it was all batter which was disappointing because the meat/cheese to batter ratio was terrible and not balanced. The little potatoes were crispy and good though BUT I wouldn't come back here for the Korean hot dogs (only mochi donuts).

the corn dogs were amazing and the so were the mochi donuts. I think it's awesome that they have both the korean corn dogs and mochi donuts in one place ??

Showed up for their soft opening today and got three donuts - original, chocolate, and churro. This was my first time trying mochi donuts, and these were great. The people here are pretty cool. Glad to have them in the hood. The matcha was tasty too. (I tried a sample.)

I?ve been wanting to try the Korean style street hotdogs that have been popping up all over the Bay Area. I wasn?t able to try the first time I stopped by since they were all sold out of hotdogs. It was 2:19 PM on a Sunday when I stopped by to try. Within 5 minutes of ordering, I received my half mozzarella rice hotdog on a stick in a white paper bag to go. It was hot and delectably crispy when I bit into the hotdog. It took me about 5 minutes or so to finish devouring the hotdog outside the establishment.

The best doughnuts!! Very impressed by the selection from Chocolate sprinkles, pink or cinnamon sugar - so yummy! Highly recommended!

Great little donut shop in outer sunset. Staff was extremely nice and the donuts were really good.

Funnel cake flavor was so good! Very well packaged, the box was dropped repeatedly. Kids liked chocolate the best

The donuts here are delicious and definitely live up to the mochi name- they?re chewier than your standard donut texture, but that is the attraction! We only purchased two donuts to try, but wish we had gotten more! We tried the Ube and Churro flavours and Loved them. The staff was very kind and the prices were fair.

Light and flavorful donuts made from mochi. The churro and dark chocolate flavors were so good but they have many more!

Yummy donuts. Matcha, churro, & ubi flavor. Pretty tasty. Would have been better fresh and warm.

Their yummy donuts are incredibly light and delicious unlike most donuts which tend to be quite heavy and caked. I find it hard to find my favorite flavor since I love to eat everything they make, served fresh through their delivery service right to my door. I hope I will visit their shop soon. If you haven?t yet try out their donuts I do recommend that you try them out.

The Cheetos Hot Dog is pretty big and tasted great. Their mochi donuts are also really delicious - chewy and soft! Employees were extremely friendly and I'll definitely come back again.

Tasty, but facility is nasty. I got a mochi donut and a corn dog. There were flys and the floor was dirty. The mochi donut was chewy and flavorful, but seemed to be sitting out for a while. The corn dog was hot and fresh. Overall tasty. A few hours after eating I got food poisoning. The cleanliness should be taken into account. The food was good but the sanitation makes this review negative.

I was so excited to come and try the mochi donuts here but sadly these were nothing like the deliciously chewy donuts I have had in the past. While they look the same, these donuts are incredibly oily (which is the main aftertaste) and have none of that distinctive mochi chewiness?it tasted like a regular donut. Some points for cute aesthetic but otherwise not worth the time or money.

Low quality donuts that taste of old oil. Matcha flavor was non-existent, and other toppings were also overly sweet with little flavoring. The other donut shops on this street may be less hip, but they make a far better product, at a better price, and with better service. Disappointing when there's so much other great food on this street.

Good inventive donuts; I liked the Chai one.

This so has incredibly friendly staff and super yummy donuts! I love mochi donuts since they are lighter and chewier than regular donuts. Ube is my favorite flavor!

I love mochi so I really like the mochi donuts and the mozzarella dog. I?ve had other mochi donuts that are more dense, these are more fluffy and crispy so it?s really nice. I also really like their variety of flavors. Mozzarella dog could be improved, there?s a spot in Southern California that does similar mochi mozzarella/hot dogs that?s a bit better but this is closer to where I live. Room for improvement but I?m glad SF has a spot like this :)

Popped in here while meeting a friend for coffee and was really impressed by the assortment of interesting donut flavors. Really tasty mochi donuts - light feeling - and all around a tasty place to stop by!

Unique dessert. Slightly expensive though for the size. Variety could have been more too. Got the funnel cake one. Ok taste. I expected some ice cream inside given the name mochi. So I'd say the name is kind of misleading.

This store is adorable and immaculately clean. The donuts are so unique, light, and delicious. This is the perfect after dinner stop before heading home. Bring the kids!

This place is great! The owner/staff was delightfully friendly and the mochi donuts are worth the trip! Highly recommend - support this lovely establishment!

Never had a mochi donut but the texture was an amazing experience.

A little bit pricey, but the quality of the food is good.

Cute as heck and tasty but be prepared to pay a grip :)

Nice place, very neat and fresh. They even had samples to try before buying

The Donuts was ok . ?? I also got the hot Cheetos hot dog and I didn?t like it honestly.

Delicious, better than regular donuts! We tried sesame and matcha

Great customer service, it was cold and rainy but i still like a cold drink, the server was really nice to ask me about my drink

My favorite one is Ube, no icing won't make that too sweet

Great donuts, love the box!

I would skip the second coming of Christ just to stand in line to get another one of their donuts.

It was kind of mmmeehhh. They had a small selection and were out of items.

Super nice staff and tasty donuts!

Too sweet and pricy. Very disappointed

Amazing donuts. Must try.
