Totoro Mochi Donut — Restaurant in Houston

Oh my gosh, I must say these mochi donuts are SO GOOD! They are so soft on the inside and the icing on the outside had a nice firm crack to it that countered each other perfectly. The day I went I tried every single mochi donut (besides the regular sugar one, but I'm sure that one was delectable as well!) I had the Matcha, Vanilla, Chocolate, Honeydew, White Chocolate, and the Orange flavor and each one of them chefs kiss was so wonderful. I got the White chocolate, honey dew, and orange when they were fresh (they brought out a new batch) and the white chocolate one actually reminded me of a fresh Krispy Kreme donut! (if you're into that). Just so delicious! Besides the donuts me and my bf also got the corndogs and the takoyaki. My boyfriend got the regular totoro dog when just the hot dog and a sweet potato dog with half hot dog half mozzarella. I got the the potato dog with half and a hot cheeto dog with just mozzarella. Apparently you can also add the hot cheetos on to the potato dog (i believe with a little extra charge) if you don't want to try two separate things. They were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside giving you enough dog and cheese in each bite. Even with the straight cheese they don't skimp out on it! The takoyaki was also fresh and piping hot so be careful with your tongue! But otherwise so good! You get all that cheese with the size of the breading! And now for our drinks my bf got the mango slush and I got the dragonfruit green tea with mango popping pearls. Everything about it was so yummy! The corndogs also came with several dipping sauces (you choose which ones) and the teas were so fresh and delectable. The workers were also incredible kind and patient with us and the overall ambience of the place was excellent. I highly recommend coming here and giving it a try! You won't regret it!

(Also sorry for the scuff photos, they originally were just being sent to my mom but I had to share what we had!)

TLDR: Donuts are delicious (soft inside, nice crisp on outside) Different variety of corndogs and sauces that will suit your flavor. Takoyaki was hot and savory. Drinks are...

On my first stop while doing a food tour around the area, I landed on this really cute anime Cafe, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I brought my sister along for the ride as she too was curious.

Upon my arrival, I was greeted with the pleasant smells of Donuts and coffee, and the friendliest "Hi, welcome in!" I've ever heard. My eyes were immediately drawn to the little claw machine as soon as you enter, and mind you, the cleanliness was beyond expectations. A statue of Totoro greets you aswell and the vibrant pink colors and unique decor really make this place stand out.

My original choice was the Mocha iced coffee, but they unfortunately ran out of cocoa powder to make the chocolate for the coffee, but the super amazing cashier let me know of her favorite choice, so I went with it, an iced caramel macchiato, not my usual choice at all but a pleasant and decent one, it deserves 5 stars.

I also got a potato dog with half Mozzarella and half beef Hotdog and let me just say... this is by far the BEST and FRESHEST tasting Korean corndog I've had. I've had a few in my area but nothing compares to the quality found here, and not a bad price, given inflation. I also had the White chocolate mochi donut for my dessert, and it was so chewy, soft and delicious, a 10/10. My sister had the peach tea and the dark chocolate mochi donut and she gave both a 10/10.

All in all, if you're in the area and looking for a quick lunch, with a clean atmosphere, friendly staff, and 10/10 food, as well as a photo-op with the adorable Totoro, then this is the...

Items ordered: oreo slush, mango green tea with tapioca, 3 Korean dogs and a pink Mochi donut

1. Not clean. Both trash cans were full and overflowing. The chair and tables were all dirty. There was food and napkins on the floor. The chairs I sag at had obvious drink spill on it seeped pretty deep in the chair.
2. Took 20 minutes to get 3 Korean corn dogs. (And the person who ordered after me got their food before me.) Kind of defeats the purpose of ordering takeout when it takes this long to wait for small snack like food items.
3. The drinks weren't special or any better than any other tapioca place. My slush had so much ice put it in that I tasted more cold than I did oreos. After letting the ice melt a bit I still couldn't taste oreo. If I didn't know it was oreo flavor I wouldn't have guessed off a blind taste.

The cleanliness of the place made me uncomfortable and the time it took to get my food was much longer than expected(in comparison to another tapioca place I go to that also has Korean hot dogs).

The Korean dogs came out good and were crispy. My daughter love the melted cheese that deliciously stretches when you bite. If I wasn't so off put by the hygiene of the eating area I might have enjoyed it more.

The place itself has a cute design and a cute concept, but the way the business is ran is not worth making a trip there or the amount of money spent. I wouldn't go back after my experience there. Good idea....
