Mochinatics (Now Open!) — Restaurant in Chula Vista

I have tried the different Mochi Donut shops in LA, OC & the ones locally here in San Diego and I must say that MOCHINATICS is the best & my favorite of them all!

The consistency of the mochi texture is perfectly balanced - not too chewy & not too doughy. The quality is so excellent that consuming it a day later still leaves you with that delightful experience!

Mochinatics is also very creative & inventive in offering diverse flavors & designs. They have infused Mochi donuts, theme-based (i.e. Star Wars, graduation, cinco de mayo, Hawaiian etc) & flavors that honors various cultures (i.e. turon, tres leches, black sesame, lilikoi lychee, Japanese Kit Kat flavors, Girl Scout cookie flavors, matcha etc).

I also had the pleasure of trying their malasada bites and ube chessecake tarts. there aren’t enough superlatives to describe how heavenly they are. For the malasadas, you get the best of both worlds with the doughy but a hint of mochi combination. the ube tarts are also delicious and beautifully presented, you can serve these at fancy restaurants.

Kris & Cherelyn (Mochinatics owners) are also amazing people. They are organized and have a good workflow established for their business. They also give back to the community by raffling out donut giveaways for frontline workers.

I’m so excited that they are expanding and will have an actual storefront soon. I can’t eat donuts the “regular” way anymore after discovering...

These are hands down the best mochi donuts in otay / Chula Vista!

I was lucky enough to discover Mochinatics during Covid days - when my best friend visited from the Bay Area. He told me we were going to someone’s house to pick up donuts. I was so confused but when we got there, we were not the only ones picking up an order. I was impressed with how organized the order process was, freshness of the donuts were and oh my gosh the flavor does not compare to any other donuts I’ve had!

This was over 3 years ago. Fast forward to now… the family has this store front with more options and continue to develop new items as well.

As we entered, we were welcomed by big smiles and a friendly staff. The inside is clean, menu is easy to read as they also have a display of the donuts available to purchase.

My family and I opted for the chocolate biscuit, Oreo and Ube donut. All three were phenomenal. I love how sweet the donuts are but they are not too sweet. The mochi texture is perfect too.

The store is conveniently located inside the otay ranch mall. Plenty of parking, space to eat outside and a few seating options inside as well.

They also serve drinks such as boba, pancakes and mini donut bites too. I appreciate their amazing service and kindness.

10 out of 10...

The best mochi donuts in all of San Diego. You can tell each pastry is painstakingly designed and decorated down to the finest detail, using only high-quality ingredients (the type of chocolate and other frosting they use on their donuts is the PREMIUM stuff!). Donuts are fresh, delicious, and they have an awesome rotation of flavors on an ongoing basis--our favorites are anything with ube or tropical fruit (like lychee or mango) on it. Also helps to know that the owners are kind, hard-working human beings as well. Highly, highly...
