Dochi — Restaurant in Seattle

I'm not much of a donut fan but wow am I impressed with Dochi! Their dochis are addictive, well fried and not overtly sweet, so you're able to eat more and enjoy it.

PROS: Fantastic location (opposite to Uwajimaya Seattle inside the food court) and convenient if you're shopping in Uwaj. There's another location outside Seattle. Think of these as fried mochi donuts, made with rice flour, cooked to perfection. They are not greasy or oily at all, and are shaped perfectly, so you're able to easily tear off a piece and enjoy the right ratio of fillings with every bite. I'm incredibly impressed with the fluffy texture, taste and consistency of their donut. flavors are so good! The ube needed more punch and flavor, but the ube with crispy Fruity Pebbles dochi and the pistachio dochi were unreal. My favorite thing about their dochi is that they are not clawingly sweet, just really well balanced. The quality is really high. the staff is so nice and polite! They immediately made us miss Japan, where the level and quality of service are exceptional the colors and place is so kawaii I adore it

CONS: Parking may become an issue as things start to reopen after covid they have limited hours, which is common for specialized local bakeries in Seattle, but may be a hassle for some Would love a bigger variety of flavors, especially with ube and pandan!

We are still dreaming of dochi and can't...

Donuts + Mochi = Dochi = LiLiHa Bakery's Poi Donuts from Hawaii, with a Seattle twist. We got 1 of each of the current flavors (as of 9/1/19: Ube Glazed, Chocolate Almond, Strawberry Pebbles, Matcha Oreos, Coffee Red Velvet, and Ube Crunch. These are not hot out of the over mochi donuts like other places have them, but they are definitely tasty.

Each 🍩 makes you $3 less rich but if you buy half a dozen or a dozen, you save some of your dignity. The packaging is all about Instagram and the inside writing even lets you dedicate the box to someone so it's an easy eye-pleasing gift to give and enjoy/share. It looks like most of the donuts use the same mochi batter (white mochi) so the main flavors are in the frosting.

This place is inside the Uwajimaya Village, snack dab across the Momosan Ramen 🍜 place, which is about to open (for you...

I succumbed to all of the hype and waited in line for an hour for these and what a disappointment. I tried all four flavors they had available, green tea and oreos, salted caramel with brownie brittle, ube glazed, and taro pebbles. All were overly sweet even for doughnuts. And they WERE NOT FRESH. We were one of the first ones in line (early enough to be offered a free doughnut) so you would expect them to be super fresh. But it tasted of sopped up old fry oil, and the fruity pebbles on the taro pebbles flavor was already soggy right out of the store. I wouldn't expect supermarket doughnuts to be this bad let alone ones as expensive as these.

I went with a group from the office, and by the end of the day, almost everyone had left their boxes in the common area because no one wanted to take them home. Extremely...
