Mochinut Frisco — Restaurant in Frisco

Today is their first day of their soft opening, and I'd say the experience was near perfect! I loved mochi donuts in Japan (from 7-Eleven), but I felt that a lot of mochi donuts here in North Texas either had a texture that was more like regular/grocery store donuts (not rice-cake-like) or glaze that would have a slight plastic taste/feel.

But Mochinut does not have either of those problems! Texture and taste is exactly like fried rice cake, slightly crispy on the outside with a dense, almost gummy texture on the inside. Glaze is spot on in terms of amount and texture, and the flavors are amazing and do not have an artifical taste (from today, strawberry A+, matcha and oreo combo also A+, and of course, can't go wrong with original glaze).

This is also my first time having a "canned" boba where they seal the lid of a can on top; it did not take away from any original aspects of boba. Opening the can was a fun, easy experience.

The only small issues we experienced were that the chocolate glaze took a while to cool down (it is still sticking to the paper wrap) and tasted a little diluted(?) and we didn't get the exact boba flavor we ordered (I believe we ended up getting brown sugar - but it was good!). The boba pearls themselves were a little firm as well.

Overall, 5/5 love Mochinut and this specific location! I loved the Houston location, but not so much the Carrollton location. And now the Frisco location is dangerously close to us, so you can bet we will definitely be back! Not to mention staff and who seemed like the owner are...

Alas, Mochinut, I’ll never be able to share your greatness with my office mates. Multiple times, I’ve wanted to take these delectable treats to work, on those 1-2 non-remote days, to soften the blow of having to see each other in person.

I’ve driven by Mochinut, with dollars to burn, as I’ve wanted to take 3-4, maybe even 5 dozen, to share.

But…even though Mochinut is surrounded by an incredibly popular coffee place, and a gas station that is open in the wee early morn, Mochinuts doors remain closed.

Why, you may ask? Because Mochinut opens at 8am, long after I’m on my merry way into the throes of “back to work traffic”.

What? A donut shop that DOESN’T open early?? Blasphemy you say! But indeed. It’s a donut shop just for those who are putzing around Frisco and want, I guess, an afternoon treat.

In any event, I do hope they reconsider their hours and have at least 1-2 days where they open at least an hour earlier. (And let that be on Wednesdays and Thursdays, cause those are the only days I gotta...

So aesthetic & cute! Service was great, the staff and owner was very friendly & welcoming. It was my first time trying Mochi donuts— it was a 10/10 experience 😍 Everything was so good!

Donuts had a great texture, very chewy, not super sweet & they change flavors every week (I had Original, Churro & Matcha) I also tried the Brown sugar boba, unusual because it came in a can but it was still super cute and fun!

Also tried the Potato Mozzarella and Crunch Cereal Hotdog— size portion was big, very crispy & tasty! 🤩 I believe they only sell them at 12pm on the weekdays. Coming back to try the Hot Cheetos Mozzarella one!

Overall experience was 10/10 and it’s perfect for first timers who want’s to try something different. Location in Frisco is perfect because there’s barely any place in the area selling mochi donuts, boba or other Asian savory sweet snacks..

Not to mention, this is the only Mochinut in Texas that opens in the morning time at 8AM.

Highly...
