MODO Hawaii

The donuts are fresh and made to order with delicious sauces and toppings. Pandas is a favorite between the kids and adults. Ordering online was easy and pickup was quick. They have separate lines for online preorders and walk-ins. There was only 1 person ahead of us on a Saturday morning pick up.

I love their mochi donuts!!! Super delicious and I ordered it via DoorDash and it was still warm when I got it! The matcha, earl grey, and chocolate ones are really good! Haven’t tried their cookie flavor and sesame flavor but they look yummy already

Hands down the best donuts in the area. I’m firmly on Team Matcha, while my friends swear the milk chocolate ones are the real MVP. We agree to disagree (over donuts).

Cute place for a quick snack. Love that the dohnuts are made to order! The staff was amazing and flavors really hit the spot. Definitely a spot worth trying!

I am not not a big mochi donut eater - my wife and daughter are. BUT I have to say MoDo mochi donuts are delicious. In particular, their donuts can easily pinched apart so you can enjoy one round 'bump' at a time.

Went yesterday, and wow—Modo Hawaii absolutely delivered! We tried Cookies and Cream, Ube, Apple Cinnamon, Pumpkin Spice, Milk Chocolate, and Pandan. Now, full disclosure: I’m not even a “sweet tooth” person, but these flavors hit differently. Every bite was a vibe, but Pandan and Ube were total standouts. The interior is super cute, too, with fun anime-inspired artwork and a cozy vibe. The staff took the time to explain every flavor, which made it even harder to choose (in the best way). Honestly, these donuts are worth every calorie and then some. Highly recommend!

I recently ordered donuts for a work event and everyone loved the donuts. I used doordash, and they arrived in a timely manner, still warm! So so delicious. I highly recommend the lilikoi, black sesame, cookies and cream, and churro flavors.

Donuts are really light and airy and crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. The icing flavors are very good. The drink flavors are exotic like Pandan or Ube or Matcha. Just a fun place to have dessert and drinks. I think they could use a smaller container for one donut however to save plastic 😊 ♻️.

So excited they finally have a store front in the Bay Area! Been a fan of this place when it first opened a pop up in mitsuwa. It makes all the difference when you eat these fresh. They're constantly making fresh donuts in the back and even when you go to the store to order they freshly dip them. It gets a little messy with glazes because the donut is still warm but it is worth it. Donuts are soft and chewy while the glaze and sugar add just the right amount of sweetness. You can order online (at least 1 day before) or walk in. Check in process was a breeze, my donuts were done right on time! You can also go inside the store to order. I went on a weekday so the line was pretty short but on weekends it can get long. Tried their matcha, black sesame, churro, cookies and cream, pandan, and lilikoi. Churro was my favorite but you really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Some other notable ones were the Lilikoi (passionfruit) which was sweet and tart and their cookies and cream! They post their menu online a week before hand so make sure to check out which flavors they have on the day you go!

I recently visited Modo Hawaii in San Jose, and the donuts were absolutely delicious! They are made fresh to order, so you have to wait about 5 minutes, but it's definitely worth it. The freshness and flavor are unbeatable, and if you have the time, I highly recommend giving them a try. The wait only adds to the experience, knowing you're getting something made just for you. I'll definitely be back!

Hands down the BEST mochi donut around. My quest for the perfect mochi donut is over! Super friendly accommodating staff. FRESH cooked to order is worth the wait to get that perfect outer crunchy texture paired with the soft inner with a little chew. The glaze while sweet isn't ridiculously sweet like others I've tried. Love that you can get them plain for those that can't have extra sugar too! Checkout Instagram for the current flavors of give them a call. Choices rotate. Give them a try. They are amazing!

We loved the donuts here. They're crunchy, not too sweet and hit the right spot. The owner misheard 'Milk Chocolate' donut for 'Matcha Donut'. We only realized it was Matcha when we reached our car. When we went back, she kindly gave us the milk chocolate donut and let us keep the matcha one too. Service is excellent.

Hands down the best mochi donuts in the bay. Recently got their shoyu ahi tuna bowl. GENEROUS amount of tuna, seaweed salad, and rice. Incredibly filling and tasty. Subtle savory flavors that complement the rice well. Will be back for donuts and poke.

Came for the poke and was not disappointed. You can’t find these prices anywhere else for this quality. The rice bowl with half spicy and half shoyu was delicious and only $13. Rice was nice and hot since it was freshly made and the fish was fresh.

My favorite place for Mochi Doughnuts!!! Fresh made after you order them. Light, Soft, warm, and delightful Flavors!! They also offer delicious ice creams and other drinks here too. All of the flavors are great but some of my favorites are Hawaii Passion Fruit( Lilikoi ), Pandan, Matcha, Ube, and Black Sesame. Glad I get to try the new Pumpkin Spice for the Holidays Season😂

I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of donuts. When offered a donut, I'm one of those people who says, "No thanks." I don't like the taste that lingers in my mouth after the first bite. However, this was a completely different experience. These donuts are made to order, not greasy, and are golden to perfection, light, and "melt in your mouth." The selection of flavors is plentiful enough not to be overwhelming but enough so you can try one of each. The amiable staff works hard to prepare your order as quickly as possible. I chose the following flavors: - Cookies & Cream - Churro - Black Sesame - Matcha - Ube - Lilikoi My favorite was the Lilikoi, which I highly recommend trying.

I came around 6:30 pm and ordered the tiramisu mochi donut. The staff was very friendly and made my donut fresh to order. It was the first time trying a mochi donut that was still hot. The fresh mochi donut was really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not as chew as when it is cooled down. I was a bit surprised when I bit into it as I was expecting it to be soft and chewy all around. I think I preferred my donut cooled down a bit more as the flavors would settle and would be more chewy. I think it was still too hot for me to taste the tiramisu flavor, tho I do remember it being pretty good when it was cooked down. There are no seating's in the store, but you could find some just a few step outside by the fountain.

A nice twist on traditional donuts, they have unique flavors as well. I found them to be a bit too sweet for my preference, however quite good. For $2 per donut, the size was a little too small. They are freshly made and better when still warm. I wouldn’t go back regularly but will definitely indulge in some when I have a sugar craving.

Poke is great! I tried the half shoyu and half spicy bowl and it was tasty, poke is pretty fresh. I’ve had it from here about twice now.

If you like fresh hot mochi donuts Modo Hawaii is good for it. There are no pre-made donuts on display for sale. When you order the staff will make and dip fresh hot mochi donuts for your order. I like that they're not too sweet. You can also buy drinks, ice cream and poke bowls. Just make sure you bring some wet wipes as the donuts can get messy to eat from the icing but still really tasty.

MoDo continues to feed on pop culture. Leveraging dippings with flavorings like lilikoi, matcha, ube, passion fruit - aside from traditional ones - on plain vanilla 'pon de ring' donuts. Could not get any donuts with fillings; such a downer. Disappointed, to say the least. Drinks are okayish. Fad for Instagram types but do not weigh up to the premium price point.

If you like mochi donuts, I don't think you need to try these unless you are trying to catch them all. The dough of the mochi donuts are all the same so you are simply paying for different glazes. Now, those I find to taste quite similar but I don't have the most refined taste buds. But I did notice the texture of the icing to be more sticky than solid. It is probably due to the donut surface having gobs of oil. As for service and cleanliness, the other critical reviews have said it all. There are also no restrooms or trash cans. If the employees don't even have to deal with those frequently, I am unsure about where their efficiency lies.
