Waffles + Mochi strengths are legion. First of all, the title characters are absolutely insane and absolutely adorable. ... It’s built to get kids excited about cooking, but it’s entertaining enough for adults to enjoy. Warm, witty, and unabashedly brilliant, Waffles + Mochi is truly spectacular. Read full review

An instant classic of children’s television; the magic is all in the imaginative, endlessly flexible premise and its outstanding execution. ... Engaging, illuminating, curious and effortlessly inclusive, light but not glib or cloying, educational without being pedantic, made for tots yet clever and stimulating enough for adults to enjoy alongside them, Waffles + Mochi might be the first great kids’ show of the decade.

A well-balanced mix of familiar ingredients: a fanciful set, documentary visits to far-flung places, real kids being real, comical or calming adults, and puppets. Read full review

Kids likely won’t leave begging for gazpacho or interested in award-winning restaurants or moved by celebrities they probably don’t know. But Waffles + Mochi works when its pantry-full of star ingredients strive not for name recognition but literacy, broadly construed: nutritional, geographical, emotional – a soup any open-hearted person can get behind.

This is a big-tent show that occasionally gets too maximalist, and is at its best when looking closely at a given subject. Relative to other kids shows, it trusts its audience’s intelligence. Read full review

The most enriching and entertaining parts of Waffles + Mochi are these interactions with chefs, as well as the trips to places like Peru’s Valle Sagrado, where the heroes watch a man dubbed the Potato Whisperer harvest potatoes with all kinds of colors inside. If there’s a second season of Waffles + Mochi, let’s hope that Thormahlen and Konner let segments like those breathe a little longer. Read full review

What a great show! Sure to become an instant classic for kids and adults alike. Purely magical every step of the way and I loved every second of it. I was astonished at how educational and perfectly executed Waffles and Mochi was. Such a creative and imaginative series and perfectly executedWhat a great show! Sure to become an instant classic for kids and adults alike. Purely magical every step of the way and I loved every second of it. I was astonished at how educational and perfectly executed Waffles and Mochi was. Such a creative and imaginative series and perfectly executed to boot. I usually do not make note of the negative scores, but for this show they are a real head scratcher. I suspect some who have posted lower scores have not even watched it and are trying to drag the score down because of political grievances. Truly a shame(and silly) if that is the case. People from all walks of life can enjoy this endlessly engaging and delightfully inclusive series. Best kids show to come around in ages.… Expand
