Mochi Lion Riverside

Excellent service from Brian. The boba is good, and they have gluten-free donuts, so that is a plus!

Mochinut -- err, I mean -- Mochi Lion Riverside (new name) is located just off the 60 Freeway and University exit, near UCR.They offer mochi donuts that were popularized in Japan (Hello, Mister Donut!) in various flavors. They are slightly sweet but nice to have occasionally. And they make the cutest gifts if you don't want to show up empty-handed. These donuts would instantly bring a smile to anyone's face. They are cute and delicious!They do have a rotating menu so be sure to check back often for any new flavors you want to try out. I'd come here more often but the parking situation steers me away - there's just not enough parking spaces. But if you're patient, they are worth it. Overall, tasty alternative to the ultra sweet "crumbly"cookies - you know the name - that's consistently presentable and fairly priced.

Just a small shop when you walk in. Tried just buying the items one by one: 2 corn dogs and 3 donuts, would've costed 24 bucks, but they had a cheaper for 20 bucks. It was a pretty long wait time though, 2 to 3 customers did come in after us, but was super excited when it was ready. I was disappointed though when I bit into it and discovered that the dough was still raw, and it was difficult to eat it since it's like smothered in hot cheetos. It could've used a minute or 2 longer in the fryer. Also, when the worker was picking the mochi donuts into the box, he dropped one, looked at us sheepishly and still gave it to us, felt like he should've picked another one.

A very interesting place for some nice treats!The donuts may seem expensive, but I found them quite filling for their size. They also have a mochi-like chew that makes them unique. I think my favorite so far may be the matcha or snickernoodle!I also had a fruit drink, with an interesting way to cap to create a can. I hope to visit again to try out other drinks!

Cute place for a donut not really a place to stay and eat it at, they do have tables but it's pretty small so if people are ordering you don't have a whole lot of space for privacy, service was really good the donuts were delicious, I got the watermelon kiwi drink and it was way to sugary. This place is a little in the expensive side, but I would go back for a donut whenever I wanna splurge at $3.50 each ;) plus the packaging is cute. There is ample parking outside but lots of house less individuals outside. I get it everything is expensive, but maybe they can have a loyalty system if they do have one I wouldn't know because I wasn't offered or told or read anything about it.

This is a nice little spot to stop by for something sweet. It's small with just one table and there is a screen upfront that you can order from like a kiosk. The mochi donuts are made already so service will be quite quick.

Brought my daughter in today because she wanted the "cool" can looking container. Only to find out they haven't had this for a long time. Also corn dogs were ALL batter NO mozzarella. Boba was VERY hard and tasted like pure sugar.

The customer service was amazing, very nice and welcoming! Food was also delicious and very good portions!!

Customer service was great and the environment is very welcoming. A nice place to grab a bite and just talk!

The food and service were very good! Will come back! I got the sweet potato Korean hotdog and the Thai Tea. Thank you Andrea:)
