Mochinut Seffner — Restaurant in Brandon

The food here is wonderful. They also have a really cute Ramen self-service bar and offer some nice toppings. You get a choice of three different toppings, with the purchase of a ramen bowl, and their selection is nice. You pick out your preferred instant ramen pack and the three toppings of your choice are included with that purchase. I checked it out recently when I went to pick up an online order and am looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, my pick up did not go well. It was through a separate app and the pickup did not go as planned. I arrived during the specified pickup window, which was from 9:45-10:15pm. Unfortunately they close at 10 and i arrived at 10:02. They did not have my order and offered me two boba tea drinks instead if I came back the next day. I was disappointed of course, but stuff happens, no biggie. The next day I went back and the person I originally spoke with wasn't there, but he had filled in the person who was there on our agreement. Unfortunately, that person chose not to honor our verbal agreement and I ended up having to haggle for one Boba, which I didn't appreciate. But at least I got something, I guess I should be happy. It did leave a very bad taste in my mouth though (No pun intended). I will give them one more try, and I will not use that app again with them. We'll see what happens. He told me that it was owned by the same ones who owned the Mochinut on Fowler, which I was really surprised to hear because i've always gotten such excellent service from there. I myself am a small business owner, and I get costs and things like that. But when you don't honor specified hours or agreements you made with other apps, that makes you look really bad. And the least you can do is compensate appropriately, especially if there was already an agreement in place for that. It's just good business. I will be trying Mochinut Seffner one more time and will post the results for you. I'm a huge fan of the Mochinut on fowler and I live in brandon, so having one close by was very exciting, so i'm going to be seriously bummed if...

It's the newest location of Mochinut. What's not to like? This one is off of MLK Jr. Blvd. and Broadway. It's hidden by the Post Office when coming from Lakewood onto Broadway.

The service here is so much better than the one in Temple Terrace. The young man at the counter was very helpful. There were a few items that I'd never seen before. The self-serve ramen bar, mochi balls, and Dubai chocolate bars were all new to me. I also don't remember seeing the sweet potato corn dogs. I just had to try it.

The corn dog was fried perfectly. It was so crispy on the outside. I was even asked if I wanted sugar sprinkled on top of it. Yes, please!! The taste of the sweet potato with the cheese reminded me a little of the cereal topped ones. It made a good savory & sweet bite. One corn dog was enough for me. It's huge! The half cheese & half hot dog is my favorite.

The Dubai chocolate bar was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It's a smaller and less expensive version of it. I really like the pistachio & kataifi filling. I've never had the original one, so I have nothing to compare it to. This one seemed crunchier.

The mochi donuts are what you would expect. I've only been able to try one so far. The passion fruit one is a winner. The coffee latte was pretty average. I did ask to adjust it to 50% sweet. He was able to do that for me. That's great because I remembered that the Mochinut boba drinks I had in the past were super sweet. This one was better, but not as good as shops specializing in boba. If that makes sense.

I'll need a few more visits so that I can try other items. It's great to have a Mochinut so close to Brandon....

So happy this location opened in Seffner, so I don’t have to drive out to Temple Terrace. The store is on the smaller end but they offer tables and chairs if you want to eat inside.

I stopped by a little after 9pm on a Wednesday and I really want to thank the sweet girl Pilar and her associate (I don’t want to butcher his name) who were very kind and attentive. They greeted me with a smile and were patient while I decided what I wanted to order.

I ordered mochi donuts, (they still had a variety left even though I came the last hour of the night) along with a regular half cheese/half hotdog, which was hot and fresh. Can’t wait to come back again! Thank you again for the wonderful service and delicious late...
