The restaurant serves mochi donuts — which crosses Japanese mochi dough with an American-style donut and was first made in Hawaii — and Korean-style corn dogs alongside bubble tea drinks.

Mochinut has multiple locations across the U.S. and also in South Korea and Thailand, according to its website.
