The donuts are delicious and not greasy like those from some other mochi donut shops.

Seriously, we had some leftovers, and the first thing she did when she woke up was eat the mochi donuts in bed! Absolutely fantastic! Thank you, MoDo, for making my life easier. Now I know whenever my girlfriend needs a little pick-me-up, I can just stop by for some mochi donuts. Pro tip: You can also have your parking validated for purchases over $10, so feel free to park at the international marketplace and explore the area while you’re there!

It makes for a nice, quick snack as I'm browsing the area in Waikiki. The selection of donut flavors is small, but the options are good. I've tried the matcha, ube, strawberry, lilikoi, and kurogoma (black sesame) donuts from MoDo, and they all had good, thick icing and a strong flavor. My family's favorite flavor was the lilikoi, although I liked the matcha the best. The dough isn't super chewy the way some mochi products are. I do prefer some of the competitors' mochi donuts, but I would definitely get one from MoDo again if I was in Mitsuwa or the general area.

The matcha donut isn't terribly sweet, which was why I picked it. It tasted fresh, but it wasn't warm like it had just come out of the oven, even first thing in the morning, shortly after the place opened. It wasn't gummy, but a little bit chewier than a donut without mochi. The prices seem quite reasonable for a fancy donut in the middle of a tourist hot spot.
