Some of my coworkers and I wanted to try mochi donuts after work and drove to UTC only to find that it was closed and that another Mochinut location near Mira Mesa had also just closed. We were so determined to try these donuts that we drove down to the Kearny Mesa area and found this Mochinut location. The only downside of this experience was how long service took. We had to wait an exceptionally LONG time for donuts that were already made and ready in the showcase. Please hire more staff for the busier rush hours. Makes me not want to come back, especially because I had to drive out over 20 mins. Overall decent, chewy donuts however, the glazing of the donuts was really messy.

Donuts are very doughy but good. Parking can be a problem though.

My cousin took me here after we visited Uncle Tetsu next door. She was excited to have me try a few donuts here as she's been a fan of theirs for awhile. We figured why not go for broke (sugar wise) since we just splurged on a few cheesecakes next door. Parking wasn't an issue that day as it was well past lunch time. The location is bright and welcoming. They had a decent variety and we hoped at least one flavor would be fresh . Unfortunately, none of the donuts we tried that day were any good. They were cold and almost hard to the chew. Mochi is supposed to be bouncy and chewy. These were none of those. Cousin said their donuts are a world of difference when served fresh vs these which were probably sitting out too long. I'm glad to have finally tried these donuts but wouldn't return anytime soon.

We arrived about 25 minutes to close, and they still had donuts left. Other places with mochi donuts tend to run out earlier in the day. The girl that helped us was very friendly and efficient. They change up their flavors often. The lychee one was surprisingly our favorite out of the flavors they had. The donuts were flavorful, and they were fresh enough being right before they closed. They have other food and beverage options too, but we can’t comment on those since we only got the donuts. Hard to find space to park in their lot since it’s in a busy plaza.

I ordered a churro mochinut which was absolutely delicious. It was freshly made and the person at the counter went back immediately to make my donut. He was absolutely amazing and provided recommendations on which flavour I should get. I would recommend coming back here and trying the other desserts they have to offer.

My first time every having a mochi donut and let me tell you I fell in love with the texture of these things! I was 1 attracted to the name of the place and was like the vibes of that place looks like something I would want to try. The lady behind the counter was so patient with me, explaining to me all the flavors and giving me some recommendations! Great spot!

Was hoping to find Halloween themed mochinuts but they just had normal flavors. The dough texture is really good but the strawberry tasted a bit artificialParking: Parking lot is small and packed

Some friends took me here and told me that these were one of the best donuts I'd ever taste. They were right. The inside of this location is very clean and spacious and when we went mid-day on a Saturday, there weren't that many people. We were served immediately, and we got six donuts, which was more than enough for three people. Each donut I tasted was absolutely delicious. I will say, for people who don't like things that are too sweet, this might not be the spot for you. But for me, with a gazillion sweet tooths, the fluffy texture and sugary taste was delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here for a sweet snack after you grab lunch or dinner in Convoy!

Very fluffy and light. It's definitely lighter than a regular donut, but don't expect it to satisfy your craving for a real donut, and you're definitely more expensive than regular donuts. I like the flavor selection that they had. I tried the original, funnel cake with chocolate drizzle and the churro flavor. I would say that the funnel cake was my favorite, and it was mostly because of the chocolate drizzle. The place was very clean and the girl behind the counter was very friendly. I've been there afew times, but it was closer to closing time that most of the flavors were out. We finally we were to go in early enough this time to try it. It's definitely a good light dessert after a good dinner.

Extremely expensive for these little high fat rather plain pastries, especially with instructions to eat within 3 hours, which only means they're going to get yucky if you wait for over 3 hours. They do look pretty though.

3 or 4Atmosphere and employees were perfectly fine. This rating is in regard to the donuts.I got the Churro flavor.Is it decent for a donut? Yes.Is it worth $3.75? No.I would pay $1.75 to $2.30 max for one of these, but maybe you'll like these so much that it'll feel worth it to you.There's a little discount for buying in bulk, maybe that would make it slightly more worth it if you and some friends want to try it for the first time. Overall, I'm not too disappointed since I was already out here anyways waiting for my food from Tasty Noodle, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for themMy personal opinion of course, maybe you'll feel differently ?
