Mochinut - San Jose

Rating: 2.6/5 We ordered two hot dogs, which take about 10–15 minutes to make. I got the ramen hot dog with sugar ($7) while my brother went with the regular hot dog with sugar ($6). Sauces are an extra $0.50 each—we tried the sweet chili and Korean BBQ. The Korean BBQ didn’t pair well with the hot dog, but the sweet chili did. The ramen with sugar was interesting for a few bites, but after that the flavors didn’t really work together, even though the ramen coating was nice and crispy. The hot dog itself was just okay—they use the small pink hot dogs. Also, all of their hot dogs have a big batter bump, so they don’t look very clean or evenly made.

Enjoyed an absolutely delightful treat at Mochinut (Downtown San Jose) their mochi donuts are a perfect blend of chewy, fluffy, and flavorful. I tried the Raspberry Flower donut, and it completely won me over. The bright, fruity raspberry glaze was beautifully balanced, not overly sweet and paired perfectly with that signature light + springy mochi texture. Each bite was a mini celebration of flavor and fun shape! Highly recommend stopping by Mochinut for a bright, chewy raspberry mochi donut fix, you won’t regret it!

Mochinut is a must-visit for anyone who loves unique and delicious treats. The Mochi Corn Dog is a game-changer, combining the chewy texture of mochi with the savory goodness of a classic corn dog. The batter is perfectly crispy, while the mochi adds a delightful twist to this popular dish. Each bite is a burst of flavor that will leave you craving more. The presentation is also top-notch, with each corn dog looking almost too pretty to eat. The staff at Mochinut are friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of mochi, corn dogs, or just good food in general, Mochinut is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss out on this unique culinary adventure!

What a fun stop inside the huge San Pedro Square Market. Fresh donuts made to order. You can see the available varieties in the display window, then use the self-serve kiosk to place your order. Our order came out pretty quickly. And we finished almost as fast! We had the church, original, and raspberry mochinuts. Delicious!

Glutinous flour based donuts. Yum! Not for everyone because of their chewy nature, but beautiful and tasty with a nice mix of unique flavors like matcha. Pricier than regular donuts though. Order via a kiosk at the booth, or on your smartphone.
