Customer Reviews

it was alright, but the donut would have been better if it was heated up - it was kinda cold and hard, and the icing was crunchy. felt like it had just been sitting on the counter for a day. the mochi dough was very good but again, would be nice if it was warm. the service was good though, and it's a cute little shop!

The donuts are soft, sweet, chewy. They offer interesting flavors alongside the classics. I tried the ube, passion fruit, and sesame seed donut. All great. The price point is high? 3/$11. For that reason I?d say they?re a solid 4.5 stars. Definitely worth a try!

I love mochi doughnuts. These are great. I will try a Bobba drink next time.

Delicious and light mochi donuts, not at Japantown levels but still way way better than any traditional donut. The plain & dark chocolate are recommended; quick and efficient service.

Best mochi donuts I have had! So chewy and fresh!

Very tasty mochi donuts. I like the way they are at room temperature and not heated up. The chewy texture is great. A bit pricey.

Had their matcha doughnut. The taste was ok, but the texture was true to their advertisement and quite unique. Offering a much more chewy and satisfying experience than conventional doughnuts.

I personally feel that there are better places to have mochi donut in the city. The ones are alright; didn?t really like confetti on the matcha donut. Also, Ube donut was too sugary and didn?t taste like Ube.

Best donuts!!! Highly recommend after a dinner at Burma Superstar! Kindest owner and employees

First time trying mochi donuts and they did not disappoint! We tried chocolate, churro and funnel cake and loved every one. Great price and great customer service.

So good! Better than the other mochi donut shop

It has good rice machine donuts I like the churro flavor

I really wanted to like this place. The lady behind the counter was super sweet and welcoming, but the donuts we got seemed stale, and the frosting was almost plastic feeling.

bomb food! not as good as japantown mochi donuts but absolutely great food. the lady was so sweet! 10/10

Delicious mochi donuts and really friendly staff. The ube donut is my fave!

Clement Street's version is just a very small express version. Still, great quality drinks and food.

The donuts are very well done. I didn?t have a boba but they looked excellent

One of the best mochi donuts I've had. Very chewy!

Great donuts and very nice owner. Definitely recommend!

Delicious mochi donuts. I love the black sesame

So tasty! Wonderful owners and inviting place. I will be back!

Ube was very good. 7/10

Amazing donuts and smoothies
