    Duck donuts didn't do it for me. Dropped in after eating at the food court next door. While eating I noticed a couple eating donuts nearby. That sounds good to me. Duck Donuts is a place in a strip mall near the airport in Orange County. They advertise they are different because they make their donuts fresh and made to order for you. You design your own donut and they make it fresh for you. What a great idea! I decided to give it a try. I was a little concerned when I noticed their fryer was smoking a bit and there was a smoky oil smell in their store. The young server was very friendly and asked me to wait five minutes while he makes my delicious home made donut What he gave me looked like someone had stepped on a small donut?? Please look carefully at my pictures for photographic evidence of what they gave me. I bit into it and spit it out. It was an uncooked circle of dough drenched in days old oil. It was the worst donut I have ever seen or tasted. I brought it back immediately and gave it to the server and told him it was horrid, the worst I had every tasted. He said he was sorry but the person who knows how to change the oil and work the fryer correctly was out because of a family emergency. Okay, I understand, things happen in every business. You shut down, fix the problem, and open back up with things running smoothly. This place gets one star because they attempted to fool me that everything was fine when it was not. I left with no refund, no new donut, but hungry and $4.00 less in my wallet. He told me there was no way he could refund me. He tried to call me later with a refund, but I would need to give him my credit card number. I do not recommend this place.

    Blueberry Streusel Donut
    Ariana L.

    Super cute place, and I love the duck theme! I got the blueberry streusel donut which comes with blueberry icing and a streusel topping. They served it warm and it was a great sweet treat! Price was a bit steep for a donut, at a little under $4. But overall solid spot for donuts in Irvine.

    Duck Donuts....but each duck is an additional charge.

    I recently visited Duck Donuts cuz I like ducks. Overall, the donuts were fresh and tasted good -- you can definitely tell they're made to order, since you see them preparing your order, which I appreciated. However, I was a bit disappointed because I had thought (from seeing other post) that purchasing a dozen donuts might come with one of the regular "small" yellow duck as a novelty item. I think the worker said they have "free ducks" once a year there's promo day for it. I understand promotions may vary, but I was expecting that small extra touch to go with the name and was hoping for encouraging folks buying a dozen or two order. :(( And yes, while the donuts themselves were enjoyable, I did find the specialty donuts to be a tad expensive compared to what I anticipated. It was $30+ for the specialty dozen. The specialty flavor menu also changes with the season. I still enjoyed the donuts, I mean who doesn't on a Friday, and different flavors of the donuts.

    Strawberry Confetti & Maple Glazed Donut
    Rishi C.

    Swung by today for a sweet treat after seeing all the reviews, but unfortunately this place may be too overhyped. Duck Donuts is located next to Trade Food Hall in the rear corner of the plaza. The shop is cute and very on brand with the amount of rubber ducks that make up the place. Staff were friendly and quick to make our donuts. I got a strawberry confetti and maple glazed donut. The donuts were warm and fresh, however I wasn't a fan of the consistency (it was close to being mushy as the donut kind of fell apart as picked it up for a bite) or the aftertaste of the glaze. There's so many great donut shops in the OC to compete with that I'm not sure this place is worth going out of my way to visit. I really appreciate that everything was made fresh, but the flavors and consistency aren't for me.

    Donuts!

    A guilty pleasure! Duck Donuts never dissapoints! Made-to-order donuts are such a luxury, I love stopping by and seeing them make it fresh! The service is fast too, you can be in and out super quick. Parking over here sucks though, avoid the lunch rush. Lots of restaurants and plenty of seating outside to enjoy your sweet treat!

    I was out and about found this donut shop. I did my research on yelp and found it to have great reviews. When I entered the shop I was greeted by staff. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I ordered blueberry pancake and French toast donut. The donuts are freshly made to order. Both donuts were delicious and very flavorful. Ambiance is customer friendly. A great place to go get a delicious donut. The shop has a great selection of donuts, pastries and sandwiches.

    Christopher B.

    Yeah we have a number one ! I'm sorry but this makes voodoo donuts taste like a Dunkin's in comparison. The freshly made glazed donut is a great way to taste what the donut is without the magic. And it's soft, chewy and perfectly sweetened. However if you want a bang for your buck go with the maple bacon donut! Yes Bacon. Also the service was spot on. Quick but also not too fast as they cook the donut to order ! And I couldn't get over the ducks everywhere. Omg the way I wanted to waste all my money on every duck.

    Food: looks beautiful. Tastes amazing. Service: friendly, and open bright and early on New Year's Day. Ambiance: donut shop! Chill, should be an in and out experience.

    Duck Donuts in Irvine is a great spot for fresh, made-to-order donuts. The donuts come out warm, soft, and you can customize them with different toppings and flavors. The staff was friendly, and the whole experience was quick and easy. Definitely a fun place to stop by when you're craving something sweet.

    Duck Donuts is a small donut shop located outside an Irvine plaza with a decently sized food area. I'm not much of a donut person myself, but this is probably the best place I've gone to that had them. The variety is huge and they're pretty much ready to get once you order them. Both the donuts I had were amazing, and to me, that means a lot just because I typically have criticism against donuts I try. They were genuinely just good and not too much, just the right amount for what they're worth. I loved the sugar donut the most out of these 2 and would come back to try more. Overall, if you want donuts and you're in Irvine, you should stop by Duck Donuts! They have a lot to choose from and I can vouch for them being just right. Plus, there's a ton of fun ducks in different styles that you can even buy if you want on their walls. I love that small aspect of the shop.

    Honestly might be my new go to for donuts! Such a yummy spot for a sweet treat! This was my first time coming to duck donuts, and it did not disappoint at all. First of all, the donuts are really made to order so when you get your donut, it's so warm and the glaze is gooey. Just a perfect way to eat a donut! I loved the texture of the donut, it had the perfect airy dough and it wasn't oily at all despite coming directly off the frying station. The inside of the shop was so cute too! They had rubber ducks everywhere that you could buy. They have so many different options for flavors, even drinks! I'm excited to come by again

    Ok so I rarely write reviews but i have to do a review for this place. Phenomenal, amazing. I bought 2 dozens for my project team so celebrate a big milestone of our project and everyone said the donuts were delicious and very good. Now im not a big fan of donuts so i cant say much. But my whole team around 20 people have reviewed that these donuts are so good. I don't know what you put in them but keep up with the good work. Thank you

We tried the mango sago dessert and the double skin milk with fresh fruit--both were super fresh, not overly sweet, and had that comforting homemade texture.

Rich but still easy to drink, not heavy or artificial tasting. Service was friendly and patient, even when it got a bit busy. Everything came out quickly and nicely presented. Overall, a great spot if you're craving traditional-style Chinese desserts with a modern, cute twist. Perfect for a casual sweet treat or a chill afternoon stop.

Counter service and kiosk ordering is available. Heard mixed things from friends who come here often (quality can be hit or miss), so keeping expectations in check. But this dessert was solid: pandan jelly, mango, and sticky rice all had a really nice chew to them, and the coconut milk on top kept everything light instead of heavy. Not overly sweet at all, which made it perfect after a meal nearby. Will be back to see if the rest of the menu holds up the same way.

Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.
