Mochill Mochidonut — Restaurant in San Jose

Summary: Donuts are okay. A bit overpriced. Process can be managed better.

It is kind of shop in shop. They share the same counter with Yamachan. If you see the picture, they wanted to have people form two lines one for Yamachan and the other for Mochill but when I got there on a Saturday around 11:30am, there was only one line with customers for both places. The line was managed rather in efficiently and I had to wait for about 30min to get to the front. Considering the fact that there were less than 10 people who were before me, that the people were for different shops, this is a long time.

The ones I didn't like as much were probably the strawberry and mango flavored ones, they didn't feel as fitting for a mochi donut and was a little sour...

If you're new to the mochi craze and aren't sure if you're interested in trying dense, chewy rice cakes, these might just the thing for you. These light, fluffy, chewy, fried delights are easily divided into smol little bites for you to sample and share, and with a range of flavors that appeal to many, it's hard to go wrong. For my basic peeps, I recommend the chocolate, cinnamon sugar, and strawberry. They, of course, have matcha, hojicha (my personal favorite), black sesame, as well as some seasonal flavors to keep us coming back. Word of warning though, these are terribly delicious and will set a high bar when it comes to...
