Mochinut - Garden Grove, California

Sendi Mora (“SoCal Realtor”)

My Daughter had been wanting to visit, we finally got to go. She loved the Donuts, however not the Boba nor the Rice Hot Dogs. I wouldn't recommend this place.

There’s four locations in the surrounding area but they all carry different daily flavors. I ended up calling two nearby locations to ask for their daily flavors. You can also go on IG for each location. On this particular day (4/23/21), they both carry 7 flavors and only 3 overlapped. The 3 were churro, Korean churro and original. I was getting 6 from each location so only one flavor would be doubled down.

It’s $15 for 6 or $30 for a dozen. You can get 3 for 7.50. It’s not cheaper to get more, all the prices are equally split.

The Garden Grove location is in the same plaza as Ding Tea and Somi Somi. Some flavors stood out more than others. It’s the same mochi donut base, only the toppings gave the flavor.

*Churro - cinnamon sugar applied on both sides. My favorite. Tastes just like a moist churro.
*Jasmin Green tea - Another one of my favorite because you could taste the green tea, it was strong.
*Korean churro - This is black sesame applied all around. Bland and I got sesame stuff in my teeth.
*Cookies and cream - had a cookie and cream pokey stix.
*Taro pebble - Faint in flavor and not so sweet. What enhanced the flavor was the fruity pebbles which added the sweetness and crunch.
*Watermelon - basically a watermelon flavor glazed. This flavor stood out. It tasted like Bubble Yum flavor. My friend said it reminded her of Now A later or Jolly Rancher flavor. Bottom line, it taste like candy flavor.
Original - We skipped out on this on this location.

We went to the next location in T&K Plaza next door to Kung Fu Tea at the Westminister location:

*Pandan - The color was not green and can’t taste the pandan, only tasted the shredded coconut.
*White chocolate - Couldn’t taste the flavor
*Biscoff - it’s like an original glazed, very light. Also can’t taste the flavor. Had a biscoff on top.
**Red velvet - faint in flavor
Churro - skipped this flavor at this location
*Original glazed - Amazing but doesn’t beat KK. The glazed is at the top half. My favorite.
Korean churro which is black sesame. Skipped this one.

Overall, my top three were original, churro and jasmin green tea. Make sense why original, churro and Korean churro were at at both locations.

Recommend to eat while it’s warm to get the full effect. We had it two hours later so it may have factored in the chewiness from the mochi.

I was super excited to get to try mochinut since it was so hyped. I enjoyed it, but they were overly sweet and sugary, that one is just enough. I tried the strawberry one, which was, again, super sweet, but sort of salvageable in taste considering I could taste the batter because it wasn't fully covered in frosting. Overall, I wouldn't exactly die for it, but it's just something to enjoy once in awhile. That being said, I'm willing to try some of the other flavors.

Corn dogs gone kpop. It's kinda gimmicky/novelty take on the corn dog. Hotdog is bland and the creative batter is the kpop. Entry dog is $1.99 & everything else is either $3.49 or $3.99; yeah dats a lot of scratch for a gimmicky corn dog dresses in kpop. Nice service tho, super friendly.

Great matcha boba tea and we also tried their No.1 Original corn dog. Will have to try their donuts and a another drink flavor next time

Quick ease of parking and customer service

The abundance of fusion desserts hasn't slowed down at all, and what better fusion than a shop that does both sweet and savory! Mochinut in Garden Grove pushes out the ever growing hype of mochi donuts with the added bonus of Korean corn dogs. The shop itself is nuzzled in a strip mall off Garden Grove Blvd. The service was super friendly and quick. Overall, this visit left me feeling satisfied. The desserts curbed the sweet cravings that I’ve been having but I wasn’t blown over the moon with any of the items I ordered. I probably won’t be venturing over here for a donut fix again.

Thai Tea - ($5) - I opted for no tapioca with no adjustments to sweetness levels. The bottles’ aesthetics were cute, and came with a soda like top which was unique. The tea overall was a little too artificial for me. Instead of the standard refreshing taste I usually get with thai teas this was a tad too heavy for me.
Mochi Donuts - (3 for $9) - DECENT! We chose Ube, Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Dulce De Leche Churro. Our favorite of the three was definitely the Brown Sugar Milk Tea.

I had the cheddar cheese and mozzarella hot dogs. I ordered unsweetened. But it came with sugar. A little disappointing... Tasty, but...

Mochinut is like chewy fluffy doughnuts but it's basically ambrosia for actual gods. Not overly sweet. Texture is perfect. Interesting variety of flavors. The shikhye and the yuzu slushi are definitely worth trying as well!
