15 reviews for Trader Joe’s Mango Mini Mochi Reviews
Rated 1 out of 5

This products looks and tastes as if it has been frozen, thawed, and refrozen countless times. There is no powdered sugar on the rice flour dough as pictured, and the ‘sorbet’ is nothing but large, flavored ice crystals. Coming all the way from Thailand, of all places, one can only wonder about whether it’s even safe to eat.

Never had anything like this before so I had no expectations.
They are pretty to look at with powder sugar in a lite dusting. The mochi was smooth, soft and chewy. The mango sorbet was smooth and tasty. A light and interesting dessert.

Just awful. I specifically drove an hour to go to Trader Joe’s to buy the mochi because I LOVE mochi but no one carries it near me. This tastes nothing like the mochi you normally get at Japanese stores. The “sorbet” is disgusting- the texture is like ice chunks and doesn’t even have good flavor. So disappointed.

I really like these, especially if they sit out and the mochi layer softens up just a bit. I haven’t experienced them having a melted and re-frozen icy texture, just a normal sorbet texture. The white powder on the outside is cornstarch, not powdered sugar. It can be a little much, so I just brush off the excess.

I have never been a fan of cornstarch except maybe in gravy. The mango was nice. The dough was gummy and tasteless, and the cornstarch was… well, cornstarch. Overall, ew. If I hadn’t received them free, I would be pretty annoyed. I wouldn’t spend a dollar on the package, and I’m sure it’s probably a lot more that that Overall? Yeah, I’ll stick with “ew.”

The flavor of the sorbet is good, but the mochi dough is just awful and gummy, not pillowy like it should be. Won’t be getting these again.

Never having tried any other Mochi before, I think these are the bomb! I love mango anything. A serving is supposed to be six pieces, but three at a time is enough for me.

Real mango flavor, silky smooth texture, fun two bite size. Like little bursts of sunshine. A new favorite!

I absolutely adore these! I love the chewy mochi, and the mangoiness of the sorbet inside is delightful.

I have tried many mango moji before. This moji texture is tasteless and not chewy and mango sorbet is not good. try japanese one and you will never come back to this

I’ve been sick for days since eating these!!! I was very disappointed with the texture of these mochi. I agree with the other reviewer who said they seemed to have been thawed and refrozen several times. Nevertheless I ate half the package because I was really hungry when I got home from shopping at Trader Joe’s. Within about 15 minutes I got extremely nauseated. For 3 days I’ve been nauseated with a back ache. I’m just now starting to feel a little better but I’m definitely not well yet. The list of ingredients should have scared me from buying them but I thought I could trust Trader Joe’s. I don’t think I’ll ever really trust Trader Joe’s again.

The mango sorbet is too icy. The mochi skin is thin, gummy, and tears easily. The texture’s all wrong and does not go together with sorbet. It would probably better to sell it as just mango sorbet.

The mochi part is good. I like its size as well. But WHY sorbet? It just ruins everything….

I love these mango sorbet mochis! Unfortunately they have not been in stock for quite some time. I hope they’re not discontinued!
