    I am a sucker for family-run restaurants/stores or donut stores. Both employees were super friendly and cheerful. They were super nice and threw in some free donut holes with my donut order.

    Used grubhub pick up to grab some donuts. Was ready in a box when I arrive. Got some extra donut holes. The person at the store was friendly. Donut taste good. Great donut place!

    Donut King is off of Jefferson. There is a small parking lot in front of the donut shop or on the street. They have indoor and a couple of outdoor tables to enjoy your food items or can select donut(s) to go. They have a variety selection of donuts. Service was helpful and friendly. All the donuts we selected were good as any other donut shop. The crème filled donut bars definitely had a lot of crème that oozes out with one bite. So if you're needing to pick up some donuts and are in Redwood City, check this place out.

    Service was absolutely amazing. It was our first time in and the guy gave us lots of treats on the house. Will definitely be coming back! The donuts were so nice and fluffy. Super yummy! Reasonable prices too, which always makes me happy.

    Good breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Came here for some donuts and ended up with the breakfast croissant because someone in line got one and it smelled good. They made the sandwich incredibly fast and it was neat and easy to eat. The pricing was great as well and I would rather support a small business like this than a big chain restaurant. Blueberry glazed donut, I don't know why I love these so much. Maybe it's the nice cake batter inside with blueberry's or maybe it's the nice glaze layer on the outside. Will be back to try more of their donuts.

    Gotta love a good, fresh donut and Donut King delivers (editing to add: not actual delivery...). It's the closest donut shop to my house, and while I don't visit often, I do enjoy stopping by every once in awhile to get a donut. I like maple bars and cake donuts and my husband likes apple fritters. I've never been to Donut King after 8am; I've always gotten them early in the morning and they are yummy and fresh at that point. Go, Donut King!

    Donuts!!!

    To whom it may concern,…read more I want to highly thank Shri for his awesome hospitality. We came in today at around 6:15pm and were intrigued with the amount of available donuts at this time! They all looked so delicious that we had to ask him for recommendations which did not fail! We had a confusion with the cash handling process with Shri but it was OUR mistake and not his. We miscounted our change and asked if we can please double check the cameras but we were the ones that made the mistake and not him. I want to sincerely apologize to him ( which we already did ) but most importantly thank him for his amazing service. Please thank him when you have a chance as he is an awesome asset for your business. We will come back because his service was outstanding. With all due respect, Arturo

    Matcha donuts. Ube donuts…read more Cronuts. Open 24 hours. Whaaaat?! Yes. 24 hours. Hubs used to live in the neighborhood, so we visited Chuck's more than a few times. And do you know what? Every single time we came by, service was always patient, helpful, & friendly. Every. Single. Time. Having tried a vast assortment, I can say that donut wise, all are good, & some are great. The standout for me is definitely the Ube donut. Hands down. The fritter was my least favorite (tended to be dry). No frills. Interior is old school donut shop. But that is part of the charm. 4 stars

Overall, I'll come back for a sweet treat. I think service at this one was better than the other cause just less customers.

If you eat like 2-3 donuts you will get your money's worth. I think the donuts tasted fine but every donut I tried was incredibly dense and cakey. My personal preference is more airy donuts but if you like cakey donuts this place seems pretty decent. They are definitely on the sweeter side though.

    I came here the other early morning to buy coffee and donuts…read more The first red flag was that as I was sitting, parked in front, I took a bite of the plain old fashioned and discovered that it was stale. I went back inside and was immediately given a fresh old fashioned. The glazed cruller was ok, but it had an artificial (custard) flavor that I found a little off-putting. I had purchased two "chocolate" cruller. The glaze on this donut was NOT chocolate. The glaze tasted absolutely artificial, overly sweet and probably a health hazard. I ate just the underside of one of these donuts and threw the rest away. Sadly, the workers had not bothered to change the frying oil in a long time, so even the fresh old fashioned donut from this place, which was relatively inoffensive, suffered from an ever-so-slightly rancid flavor. The coffee was solid and they offered a lot of different options for it, such as milk and cream as well as the usual nasty French vanilla "creamer," which is the only reason that Chucks gets a second star. This business owner should radically restructure their business model to include quality over cost-cutting, because they would do better to use clean (and not soybean) oil, real ingredients without artificial flavorings, and authentic chocolate instead of whatever unpalatable garbage I experienced. They offer all kinds of superfluous menu items and they should really consider making better donuts. If I hadn't exchanged the first donut, I would have wasted money on 3 out of the 4 donuts. It is telling that rather than selling out, this business had inventory left from the day before, and they tried to sell it to me. Stan's donuts in Santa Clara often has to close early because they sell out hours before their 3PM closing time, and they don't do this disgusting quality compromise.

Most places are already closed, and the few that are open are usually spots I've either had too many times or simply don't sound appealing in the moment. All I knew was that I wanted something hearty--meat and carbs done right. I took a chance on this donut shop that I've driven past countless times but had never stopped at before. I ordered the BBQ beef bánh mì and a few cake donuts, not expecting much beyond convenience. Instead, I found myself wondering why it took me this long to try it. The bánh mì was genuinely impressive. The bread had the perfect texture, the beef was flavorful and generously portioned, and it was loaded with fresh herbs, crisp pickled carrots and daikon radish, and slices of jalapeño that added just the right amount of heat. What really brought everything together was the balance of the spread--just enough mayo and pâté to add richness without overpowering the freshness of the sandwich. Every bite had the perfect combination of savory, tangy, spicy, and fresh. As for the donuts, the cake donuts were incredibly fresh, especially considering I ordered close to midnight. They had that true cake-like texture without being overwhelmingly sweet. I usually scrape a little of the icing off any donut I eat, but that's just personal preference. For anyone familiar with the Peninsula, I've had my fair share of donuts from places like Royal Pin and other local shops. But this unexpected stop turned into one of the best late-night meals I've had in a long time. In fact, after working late the past four nights, this has been exactly what I've wanted to come home to. Definitely worth checking out. The food tasted fresh, the flavors were balanced, and even the oil used for the donuts seemed cleaner than what I've experienced elsewhere--none of that lingering greasy aftertaste that even coffee can't fix. Sometimes the best finds are the places you've been driving past all along.
