About
Chef Paul Virant's Gaijin is primarily known as a West Loop okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake) destination, but their mochi doughnuts have earned a devoted following. Made with rice flour, the doughnuts are crisp outside, fluffy and chewy inside, and come in flavors like matcha-citrus and pandan-coconut. It's a unique way to experience mochi donuts in a full-service Japanese restaurant setting.
