Mochinut is an American restaurant chain specializing in mochi donuts, boba, and Korean-style hot dogs. It has locations across the United States and South Korea.[3]
The chain was founded in Cerritos, California, on March 13, 2020, by Jaewook Ha.[4][1] It has been described as a spin-off of Chung Chun Rice Dog, having its first location inside of it.[5]
The mochi donuts are made with rice flour, making them flexible and recognizable due to their distinct shape of eight small balls connected as a circle. There are around 25 flavors of the food, but it varies by location. Listed on their website are:[3]
Hot dogs offered are in a distinct Korean style, being wrapped in a bun similar to a corn dog. They can come wrapped in potatoes or ramen toppings, covered with mozzarella and squid ink, or "volcano" style, having a spicy sausage. Tteokbokki is also available.[6]
As of 2023, Mochinut has 148 locations throughout the United States.[2] It also has locations in the countries of South Korea and Thailand.[7]
