The Mochi Donut Shop

The Fam and I ordered two dozen mochi donuts from the Mochi Donut Shop in the Outer Sunset via DoorDash for my cousin's surprise birthday party. Because we got them delivered and ordered via DD, we didn't get to choose the flavors. That was fine because they all tasted wonderful. They were an absolute hit! The donuts were super chewy on the inside, with a perfect balance of texture and sweetness. They weren't stale at all, like some of their competitor mochi donut makers we've tried over the years. The Little One liked the pink one, which she called "strawberry." Not entirely sure that's accurate. We tried the mango flavor, and with the dried mango topping, it was a dead giveaway, and nice touch!My aunts even tried to stash some away for late. They're hilarious! By the end of the party, the donuts were completely wiped out. We didn't get to take any home, but honestly, it's just an excuse to come back for more!Based on the yelp photos the shop seems to be partnered with or part of Mochi Nut, Orbit coffee, and they seem to serve Korean style corn dogs. Not sure what their exact relation is. Regardless, more reasons to go back to try more of their selection and find out.Also, shameless plug: my photo is the featured photo as of November 2024. W00t!

mochi doughnut shop on Irving Street is a cute cozy bakery, serving coffee tea Matcha and mochi donuts. The service was alright. The grub home counter was in particularly family rather seemed a little bit standoffish in a way maybe passive aggressive but the donuts were honestly kind of bland. The flavor was there but the donuts were also dry.

Their mochi texture was nice and lightly chewy.The sweet level lacked a bit. It wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be. Very presentable, though, if you are looking for a special treat to bring to any occasion.

Korean hot dogs and mochi donuts! We had the Korean corndog with potato, and got a three-pack ($10) of the mochi donuts (fruit pebbles, chocolate with sprinkles and strawberry.) Korean corn dogs are typically beef hotdogs (or a mozzarella stick) battered in a yeasted dough or a rice flour batter with additional seasoned toppings. Toppings include: panko, potato, hot cheetos, and ramen. Corn dogs were made to order. There were eight donut flavors, including chocolate, fruit pebbles, funnel cake, strawberry, churro, coffee, and plain. This is fun food! On the plus side, their red boxes for to-go donuts were absolutely adorable. Donuts were made ahead, but are still (relatively) fresh.The shop itself can feel slightly chaotic: limited seating, short-staffed & out of a lot of food items at 11:30 am on a Friday. No utensils, except for spoons and part of the dining space is currently storing boxes.

Haven't been here in a while and was in the mood for a mochi donut. The Ube never really hits like Ube...it's good but doesn't take like Ube. The churro one is def cinnamon. The texture of the donut is what I'm after and that doesn't disappoint even thought the flavoring might be off. Also tried the Thai tea...which I remember why I typically don't get their glaze...bc it's tooo sweet. Also tried their half half Korean corndog, half dog and half cheese with the potato covering. That was fire. I'm glad I got half half bc it would've been overwhelming to have one or the other. My gosh...that corndog was delicious!! If I'm ever in a glutinous mood...I'm coming here for that dog. So good!

This place has pretty good mochi donuts, but on our most recent visit there were some problems with our Korean hot dog order.We do like the donuts, and each time there's a slightly different selection so there's always a bit of anticipation upon entering. They are pricey though - $3 each the last time we were here, with small discounts with larger orders. These are satisfyingly chewy and sweet, so I can't complain about that.On our most recent visit we were hungry for a late lunch after hiking up in Muir Woods. We placed our order and then waited for what seemed to be an inordinately long time for the food to be ready. When they came out, we couldn't differentiate among them, and asked for assistance from the folks behind counter. Once it was all deciphered, it was clear that they had made a mistake on two of them. When I pointed it out, their initial response was whether we still wanted the hot dogs. Well, um, yes, we would like some hot dogs, but we'd like the ones that we actually want. They seemed to be a little annoyed by this "special request" but did the right thing and remade our order. Of course, this entailed another lengthy wait. But I'll acknowledge that these were pretty tasty hot dogs, and in the end we were happy with our meal.Added bonus about this place: there's a Krispy Krunchy chicken in the same place. I don't think it's affiliated with the Mochi Donut Shop, but is actually part of the seafood store next door. We were able to stave off our hunger pangs with a small chicken dinner as we waited for the hot dogs.

The best mochi donut I've tried in SF, especially their matcha mochi donut. The texture is perfect -- super chewy interior and lightly fried exterior.

Rock solid chocolate and sprinkle covered mochi donut. Nice and fresh. Delicious. Definitely would come again.

The mochi dogs are the best! So yummy and great customer service. I will definitely come back!

Super sweet. The dough is really greasy, not sure if the mochi donuts were old and stale because they were falling apart when I picked them up to eat. Not the best I've tried but not horrible just wish they were more fresh
