IYKYK Mochi Churro quietly opened this month inside a ghost-kitchen hub just west of Dallas Love Field, turning the classic cinnamon-sugar churro into a chewy, rice-flour snack built for dunking, sharing, or grabbing on the drive home. The takeout-only counter pairs those churros with Asian-style soft-serve, so everything is designed to be eaten in the car or back on the couch, not at a table.
What They Serve
The star of the menu is a Korean-style mochi churro made with rice flour, which gives it a chewier interior and a crisp fried exterior while keeping it gluten-free. Flavors include original cinnamon-sugar, ube, chocolate, and matcha. Customers can finish things off with caramel, chocolate, ube, or matcha drizzle. An individual churro runs about $4, a four-piece sampler with one of each flavor is $14, and a churro-plus-soft-serve combo is roughly $6.95. Soft-serve options include ube, Earl Grey, matcha, and chocolate, according to CultureMap Dallas.
Where It Is And How It Works
IYKYK operates out of Suite 106 inside PREP Dallas at 1499 Regal Row, a commercial kitchen complex packed with multiple delivery-first operators. There is no dine-in seating. The building is set up for pickup and delivery handoffs rather than lingering over dessert, and most concepts there are built around speed. The shared-kitchen address and model are confirmed by PREP Dallas, which pitches the facility as a good fit for pop-up and delivery-focused brands.
Owners And Backstory
The concept is run by Connor Park and Dean Kim, who previously opened Neko Yubu in the same PREP Dallas complex in May, according to Eater Dallas. Park heads up the kitchen while Kim manages the website and social media. Park told CultureMap Dallas, “Having a restaurant was my dream, and I saw a lot of opportunity in Dallas given its growing Asian community.” CultureMap Dallas also notes that IYKYK takes in-person orders via a tablet at the counter, runs curbside delivery out to customers’ cars, and posts updates and flavor teases on Instagram at @iykykchurro.
Where It Fits In Dallas' Dessert Scene
Mochi-based sweets have been on the rise in North Texas for several years, from chewy mochi doughnuts to mochi ice cream, and IYKYK’s churros are the latest spin on that same bouncy, gluten-free texture. Local food writers have tracked the trend, with D Magazine chronicling the growing appetite for mochi doughnuts around the region.
Kitchen Notes
IYKYK runs Thursday through Sunday with a takeout-only setup, and the most Instagram-ready order tends to be the churro-and-soft-serve combo. Anyone planning a visit is encouraged to check the shop’s Instagram for flavor drops and up-to-date pickup details before heading over to PREP Dallas.
