Wide choice
One visitor tried eight different flavours, making this a useful stop for comparing several mochi in one visit.
MOISHI - Citywalk
Al Wasl
MOISHI is a Japanese-inspired dessert shop in Al Wasl serving handcrafted mochi ice cream in a wide range of flavours. It is worth considering for colourful fruit-forward choices such as mango and for gift-ready boxes, though the small portions and reported price increases are worth keeping in mind.

The Good Stuff
Fruit flavours
Mango, strawberry and other fruit flavours are repeatedly singled out, with one reviewer describing the fruit taste as fresh and real.
Gift packaging
The Mochi Chocolate Truffle Gift Box is specifically recommended as a present or dinner-party gift.
Walking service
Cone service lets you eat the mochi while walking around Citywalk rather than needing a table.
Seasonal flavours
Seasonal and celebration flavours add occasional variety beyond the regular selection.
Helpful guidance
A first-time visitor reported receiving patient recommendations that helped them choose chocolate and mango.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try fruit. Start with mango or another fruit flavour if you prefer brighter tastes; one reviewer found fruity flavours better than chocolate and salted caramel.
Check firmness. Before leaving the kiosk, check that the mochi feels firm rather than partly melted, since one Citywalk customer reported a freezer-related issue.
Plan takeaway. If buying only two pieces to take home, ask about the dry-ice charge; a review says the charge applied to small orders.
Use the cone. Choose cone service if you want to eat while moving around Citywalk, especially since another review reports no seating.
Soften briefly. For a smoother texture, one customer recommends letting the mochi sit for two to three minutes before eating.

The Bottom Line
MOISHI is a mochi ice cream kiosk in Al Wasl’s Citywalk, where you can pick individual pieces, compare several flavours or take home a gift box. Mango, strawberry, coconut, pistachio and salted caramel appear repeatedly in customer recommendations, while the Dubai chocolate mochi and Mochi Chocolate Truffle Gift Box also get specific praise. The broad selection makes it easy to build a mixed box rather than commit to one flavour.
Fruit flavours seem to be the safest starting point for first-timers: one reviewer who tried eight varieties preferred the fruity options to chocolate and salted caramel, while another praised the freshness and real fruit taste. Green tea and black sesame are also called out as favourites. This is more of a grab-and-go stop than a sit-down dessert venue.
A review reports no seating, although cone service lets you eat while walking around Citywalk. Takeaway packaging has included dry ice, but one customer says there was an extra charge when buying only two pieces. Price is the clearest hesitation.
Customers have described the portions as small or expensive, and one reported a rise from 20 AED to 24 AED. Texture can also vary: a Citywalk visit found the mochi partly melted, while another reported a freezer-burnt salted caramel piece. Check firmness before leaving.
