These are delicious mochi donuts ! Best I have found outside of Japan ! These are so light with an excellent texture and they don't have that heavy fried taste at all. I could do without the icing on the pumpkin donuts, as I don't like icing, so I just wiped it off and it was perfect.

These what you don't that's different from the rest of the competition and that they are not the classic ring style. These look more like regular donuts and I was curious to see how they might taste different. Overall, the flavors are pretty good and the types of frosting that they use were not too sweet and quality. The texture of the actual doll is exactly midpoint between East and mochi, also, maybe onto my dummy side. I can't say that I loved this texture, and do kind of prefer the other style which is a bit more fried, and has a crisp shell with a very chewy mochi interior.Protip: don't get lost looking for this place. It has two floors down from Nordstrom in their food hall.STRAWBERRY LEMONADECHOCOLATEPINA COLADA I liked all these flavors but chocolate was my favorite. Pina colada was surprisingly good, though, and not too coconutty and the strawberry lemonade had a nice brightness to it that made my mouth pucker a bit.

I am not a big fan of mochi donuts. I like mochi but never thought the texture worked for donuts. But here I was in midtown in desperate need of dessert, so trekked down the 2 flights to the food court in the bowels of Nordstrom's. I was shocked at how good these donuts were. They had a good crumb with a minimal amount of gluey-ness. The flavors were bold and true. They will not replace regular donuts, but are definitely a great alternative if you are gluten intolerant.

Strawberry lemon n ginger matcha mochi donuts with a view of the deep sea diver. (Im a lil obsessed with them & astronauts) they are closing soon so it's pretty empty in here. It was nice to just sit n relax after a long walk around turn city. Located on the lowest level in Nordtstroms so if your using gps its inside and down the escalators. Had the ginger soda to settle my stomach from all the food samplings. I did a little browsing afterwards.

I really enjoyed the pina colada and chocolate doughnut. Both were really good. The pina colada was by far my favourite. This place only has a few flavours sadly. They should expand! I would come back to try the other flavours like the matcha one. I loved the texture of the dough and how it was some sort of “chewy” like mochj is. It’s not a direct replica but it’s similar.

If a cake donut and a mochi had a baby then they would taste like this! Soft with that chewy goodness. I give the donuts 4 stars but gave 5 because the service was so great. She ( so sorry forgot your name ) was very friendly and helpful. Very knowledgable and suggested the matcha donut. (Green one in my pic ) was my fav. Shudda listened to her and bought more than one. Ha. Thanks again

Hidden in the basement of Nordstrom, they have good donuts. They don’t taste too much like mochi donuts I’ve had before but are good. The staff member that was working was very nice! There’s seating close by so it’s a great place to stop by to get a drink or dessert and relax a bit after strolling around the store.

First, I have to say that the store clerk was very helpful and did her job well. I have no problem with her. The reason that I give one star for this mochi donut shop is because these mochi donuts are the worst that I have had in Manhattan. The flavor is too sweet, the texture is horribly soft, and they feel factory processed. The Westside is generally disappointing in supplying anything authentic, so I'm not surprised.
These donuts aren’t bad, but they taste nothing like mochi donuts. Seems more cakey like a standard donut.

Not very representative of a real Mochi donut because it wasn't very chewy. Was it a good donut? Yes. Was it the best donut I've ever had? No. I would not consider the donut here a real mochi donut, so I won't be giving more stars. However, service was quick and efficient and pricing was decent.

I had the citrus donut with dried strawberries and it really wasn't good. It was extremely sweet and didn't have a good flavor or texture. I was only able to finish half the donut. Other mochi donuts I've tried were light and airy. This one was heavy. It had a similar chewy texture as other donuts but the inside texture was different, either too condensed or solid (?).

It's already fun to walk through the dazzling new Nordstrom but Oh Mochi makes it even better. Trek to lower level 2 (under the shoes) and try Oh Mochi. I love the variety of flavors on offer, the donuts' distinctive chewy texture, and how they are not too sweet. Yessss! Reasonable prices given the location and great service as you'd expect from Nordstrom.

Did I travel to Chelsea on my lunch break for one of these donuts? Yes. Was it worth potentially being late? Also yes. Do I wish I would've gotten two? Kind of, but one was definitely filling and I wasn't sure if I'd like it, especially considering I'm not a citrus lover. But this...? Bomb af. I don't actually like the traditional mochi donut I've had, the one mixed between with American donut texture and mochiko. That actually also enticed me to try this, and they are right (the reviewers) this isn't like the other dough-y ones. I love it! Surely will come back. The only downside is the location is not very convenient to get to, as it's in the downstairs small food court area inside of Nordstrom. Had I not read another review about that, I would've never found it on my own!
