Donut Hut

I have been coming here for years and Rambo is a very good man and deserves his success. His life story is amazing and against all odds made a great success business in the U.S.
You can’t go wrong buying his donuts, great product and a pleasure to meet him.
A true patriot and an American success story.

The best donuts in Las Vegas. Every time I’m in LV I enjoy my trip to the Donut Hut. The chocolate long johns are unreal. I have tried about 8 local shops but I always go back to the Hut!

Mmmmm delicious! Will def come here again the blueberry and chocolate cream are delicious!

The Blueberry Cake donuts definitely live up to the hype! It doesn’t look like anything special but definitely a case where you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Get at least 2 for yourself and each person you plan to share with or you’ll be fighting over them. So simple but one of the best donuts I ever had and definitely the best cake /​simple style donut I’ve had.
Also tried the boston cream, apple fritter, and raspberry jelly just to get some variety in. They were all good and definitely above average but nothing to write home about the way the blueberry ones are.
Can’t wait to go back for more blueberry cake donuts + hopefully the crullers if they have them.

Old school donut place. plus you get to see rambo. When other doughnut places are closed. this place is open. Everything they have is good. No cronuts or off the wall doughnuts sold here. just regular doughnuts, cake doughnuts, fritters, sprinkles.

Got 2 dozen to take to the office and people went nuts over them. We are big fans of this place already but everyone’s reaction made me want to post. A co-​worker used to own a shop where she said the were prideful of never cutting corners and that this place has the same quality. I love the crumb style but everything is super good!

I had read about this being a standard old school donut place and the owner seems to have a good following and has a good story. But this place left me underwhelmed. We went on a Sunday mid morning and they only had a limited selection of mostly cake donuts with chocolate and a generic mix of nothing inspiring. She did add a few extra donuts to my dozen and they were relatively fresh, but before evening the extras were so dry they had to be thrown out.
I do recall the sour cream crueller had good flavor.
So my search for the perfect white cream filled long john with chocolate and nuts lives on. The last great one I had was from a grocery store in Indiana, lol. You wouldn’t think this was a tall order :)

We drove 30min to find this place closed. Unilocal and the store front say you open at 7pm on Tuesday’s. It’s Tuesday– it’s 7:45pm and you’re closed. I won’t be returning. Not cool for a business to expect us to guess when you’ll decide to open shop.

Reading Sylvia Q’s ROTD Saturday morning, made me seriously crave these little pieces of heaven and I was on a mission to try them sooner rather than later. So when hubby got off work that night, we went. Apparently the neighborhood its in is questionable but it was actually quiet and undisturbed when we got there, they did buzz us in which was kind of funny and scary at the same time.
We got half a dozen– 5 Blueberry cake donuts and a French cruller. As we were driving home, I took a bite of the blueberry cake and instantly regretted not getting a dozen. It’s that good! Probably the best cake donut I’ve had. Cake donuts are normally dense but theirs doesn’t have that heavy feel, and I love the crisp edges. You can definitely taste the freshness of their products. The cruller is very light and airy, just the way it’s supposed to be. I’m so tempted to go back and try some more of their offerings but somehow have to show restraint so maybe next weekend! HAHAHA.

Donuts were good: not dry and nice and soft. The service was friendly and quick. I just wish these non-​chain donut places accepted cards. Also, a bit pricey. I didn’t have enough cash on me to get 3 donuts, which included one jelly and was over $ 3. However, I’ll still be back to partake if I’m around.

I really wanted to rate this place a 2 STAR because of my experience one night i came in. It was around 11pm and they were open which was odd. So i figure maybe ill get some glazed donuts because i was in the mood. Well i bought 3 donuts 2 glazed donuts and a maple bar. The donuts were stale OLD and not fresh. How do serve old donuts to people. I didnt realize it until i went home to eat it because i live in the southwest side of town. SO NEVER COME HERE AT NIGHT GUYS just a lesson i learned the hard way. I like their donuts when i come here in the morning never had a problem and for that you get a solid 3 stars.

Went to donut hut specifically for the french cruellers. First visit was on a friday morning and we were told the dough hadn’t arrived for the cruellers yet. Instead, picked up a dozen donuts including a few really tasty blueberry cake donuts. Second trip to donut hut was on a Saturday a few weeks later and was glad they had cruellers made. Cruellers were delicious! Light, eggy, and definitely worth the trip. Cruellers are only made on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When you go be sure to bring cash (no debit/​credit cards accepted). Also, wasn’t impressed with the aple fritters here… very doughy, hardly any apple pieces in the dough.

No matter how much time in between my visits here at donut hut, they are consistently good. Forget all those fruity pebble coated donuts and cronuts! Yes I said it. Classic donuts and quality is what you will get here. I don’t know why they don’t have more reviews. Maybe Unilocal has the hours wrong which they do, or maybe it’s because of the area. Don’t let the area deter you from stopping by. I used to live close here and I’m wondering why I never stopped by more. Yah I’d probably weigh as much as a diesel but let’s not go into too many details about that. Let’s focus on the donuts. My personal favs are the apple fritters and the cream cheese glazed donuts! Both amazing. I know everyone raves about the blueberry cake donut but I’ve never tried it. I’m sure it’s great as well.
Call before you come because the owner is usually the only one working and they have odd hours. Don’t forget to read some of the newspaper stories and cool photos on the wall the owner himself has been very involved In the community and active in law enforcement. This is the true story of a man who is now living the American Dream. Stop by and check out this eastside gem. Remember to bring cash it’s a cash only establishment.

What do you get when you combine a war veteran named «The Cambodian Rambo» and some quality ingredients? A tiny little donut shop just off the corner of DI and Mojave that goes by the name of Donut Hut. A true hidden gem in here Las Vegas! Seriously, how in the world does this place only have about 70 reviews?
Part of it may be due to its location and hours. Almost directly behind a Del Taco, it’s actually kind of easy to miss. And the strange hours seem to change on a regular basis, making it even worse. On our last visit, the hours were listed as open from 7:30pm to 11am, 7 days per week. However, the Unilocal page actually showed they were closed altogether that day. So, if you want to be safe, maybe just call ahead. On both of our visits here, we’ve come later in the evening, about 9 or 10pm, and they were open, cranking out some fresh product.
Well known for their blueberry cake, it is one item that we’ve gotten each time, and you should not leave here without trying. Regardless of time, this is an extremely good donut… but if you are lucky enough to be there when fresh ones are coming out, it is, in my opinion, one of the best donuts you can find in this city. There’s a certain consistency and texture it reaches after about 20 minutes or so of coming out that is hard to beat. Not only is the inside soft and warm, but it has the exact density you look for in a cake donut and the amount of blueberry flavor is spot it. Then it’s topped off with a glaze that gets just the right amount of crispness, one that can nearly be pulled off like a layer from a croissant. The whole thing isn’t overly sweet, and unless I stop myself, I could easily eat a few of these things and be happily sick for rest of the night. They really are just that good!
And that’s not to say that the other donuts aren’t good either. We’ve had a few different things from here, and they’ve all been decent. The only exception being the cruller, which is absolutely fantastic, and I’m not generally a cruller fan. Much like the cake donuts, it’s got a soft interior with a slightly crispy exterior, and if you can get one fresh, it’s another version that’s hard to beat locally. Oddly enough, I’m not a huge fan of the other glazed varieties of their cruller or other donuts, namely the chocolate and strawberry. The flavor was just a bit off for me.
Besides the spectacular donuts, visiting Donut Hut is an experience all in its own. A small shop, with only about 10 chairs, is covered with photos and memories of Sothy’s past. He proudly claims that he owes his live to the USA and has gotten a ton of support from the community and local law enforcement. This guys got quite the story, and it’s pretty amazing that he’s even foiled some punks robbery attempts on his shop.
This is certainly a must try place, and if you can get there when they’re fresh, do so. Just make sure you bring some cash and an empty belly… you’ll be a very happy camper walking out that door!

Donuts only in the morning are a thing of the past here at Donut Hut. We have stopped here on several occasions after 9pm and have gotten to taste donuts right out of the fryer… yum!
I was not a big fan of blueberry donuts until I tried theirs. It was steaming hot and once I took my first bite I was hooked. The taste is almost like a blueberry pancake, fluffy and not too overly sweet.
I am sure all their sweet offerings are good here, but, the real reason I come here is for their incredibly delicious Crullers. Almost on every occasion we have had to wait for them to come out, but believe me you want to wait since fresh and hot is how you want to eat these airy soft delights. They are also only available on the weekends and you can call ahead to place your order.
Mr. Rambo and his partner are very kind and generous. They always end up sneaking an extra donut or two in our bag. Mr. Rambo is also willing to share his Cambodian combat stories including the ones that took place here at his donut shop as he has had a few run-​ins with unsuspecting robbers, oh yeah he is armed and ready. His story though is a real inspiring one and if you catch him on a slow evening I’m sure he will be glad to share it with you.
The shop itself is nice and has the charm of a 70’s donut shop, but the area itself especially in the evening can feel a little sketchy, but I think you are in good hands with this Cambodian Rambo as he likes to call himself.

I was originally recommended Donut Hut by Mel C. and Terri R. after they saw me check in at Mel’s donuts in Anaheim. While DH’s blueberry donuts are not as tasty as Mel’s the other donuts MORE than make up for it. Don’t get me wrong the blueberry donuts are yummy! But I am in love with their french crullers which they only make on weekends :(their other cake donuts are amazing as well. They’re crispy on the outside and cakey on the inside.
I love their hours! While a little confusing at first once you understand them it works out perfect. I get to go after I get off of work at 12am! On our last visit the nice lady who’s always working threw in 2 free plain cake donuts and even those were fantastic! If you want some amazing donuts and it’s late night run to Donut Hut#

9pm…that’s a good time to come here. Why? Some of the tastiest Blueberry cake Donuts in town are coming out of the fryer, that’s why!
I’ve been here a few times already and I thought I reviewed Donut Hut! Oh well, better later than never, right? The owner Sothy Seang, also known as «The Cambodian Rambo» is a very kind, soft spoken man whom the Las Vegas community has become very familiar with as he’s made appearances in the paper, local news, and even on Youtube with his occasional run-​ins with would be robbers at his donut shop.
Anywho, everyone has their favorite variety of donut, but the standouts for me have been the Blueberry Cake Donut, and if you’re willing to wait until 10pm on the weekends, warm French Crullers that have been freshly glazed in assorted flavors are ready around this time. if there’s a slight wait in between time, Mr. Seang will hand you a paper containing his story on how he went through his struggles before achieving the American Dream. By the time you finish reading, your order should be ready along with a few extra goodies! Next time you’re in the area and hankering for a donut, stop by Donut Hut! ALOHA!!!

This was my second real donut experience in Vegas. The first was, well, Real Donuts. So that’s what I’m comparing everything to.
I actually went to Donut Hut twice this weekend. First, I rolled in here when I had to abort my first choice of breakfast. Considering that it probably would have been a load of sugar, dough, and fat anyway, I don’t think my stomach missed out on much. Owner was nice and discounted me a few cents to make my purchase an even dollar amount.
Second time was a late-​night visit close to 1am, and I was surprised yet not surprised to find out that they buzz you in when you ring the bell. I guess their run-​ins with crime that I read about in an article have led them to be cautious, which is fine by me. They hadn’t replenished all their donuts yet, but some of the options were definitely not in the display the last time.
I didn’t feel up to ordering an entire dozen on either occasion, so I just went a la carte:
— Blueberry cake donut ($ 0.90): really moist inside, with absolutely delicious blueberry dough and dried blueberries. Bit of a crisp on the outside. I somehow had never tried blueberry donuts until I tried this and the blueberry fritter of Real Donuts, and both of them really impress me.
— Chocolate cruller ($ 1.20): a weekend-​only treat. It definitely resembles a cream puff, and the inside is very airy with moist batter. Not enough to make me wait for the weekend, but better than how I remembered my Real Donuts cruller.
— Cinnamon roll ($ 1.75): semi-​monstrous. I expected it to be dry for some reason, but it just wasn’t. Solid cinnamon flavor, nice crumble topping, and restrained glazing.
— Raspberry jelly-​filled donut ($ 1.20): very good as well, but it’s only a reasonable portion of jelly compared to the huge treasure inside the Real Donuts version. Little bit larger than normal donuts.
— Old-​fashioned ($ 0.90): chocolate was fantastic. It was like the cake donut, but with more crunch. Plain glazed was pretty good too.
— Maple raised donut ($ 0.90): surprisingly, also cake-​y, instead of the typical «normal» donut texture that you might find in an offering from a chain or a grocery store.
— Apple fritter ($ 1.75): another monster. Good apple and cinnamon flavor, but not as much of a crispy exterior as I would have liked. To be fair, I waited a couple of days on this one, and I’m sure the fresh fritters are better.
Hours are a little odd, currently 8pm through 11:15am. Also, they won’t be open on Mondays until October 13^th. However, I will definitely be back when I can, and I really appreciate how it’s a closer drive for me than the other purveyor of blueberry goodness that I’ve come across so far.

I was staying on the strip but wanted to take the 10 – 15 minute drive to see Sothy for myself and try his donuts. When I got there, he and his GF were nice and friendly. He suggested the apple fritter and I took that AND the blueberry donut.
Apple fritter was warm (must have just come out not too long ago)…heaven. Blueberry donut had good blueberry flavor.
While I was there, many different customers from different walks of life came in — he knew them, must be regulars. Even the local firemen came in to get their dozen. If I lived in Vegas, I’d be a regular too!
I wouldn’t go there just for the coffee — it’s okay.

My quest for the ultimate donut in Vegas continues. This time I visited the Donut Hut, another highly regarded establishment in the Unilocal community. Will this take the throne of Ronald’s? We shall see.
A small shop located on the east side of Vegas, it’s on Desert Inn and Mojave, between Pecos-​Mcleod and the 515. I’ve never actually driven on this road before. It’s so old school, it’s like driving through a time warp! The hours are great, Tues-​Sun 7:30 pm to 1 pm; it’s great for late night snacks, and morning breakfast (I think the guy changes the hours regularly, so, don’t hold me to those hours)
The donuts here are more of your traditional variety. I decided to pick up three to go.
— Apple Fritter: It was crisp, and soft in the middle. It doesn’t have as much apple flavor as the one at Ronald’s. Plus, the one at Donut Hut is smaller than the one at Ronald’s. But otherwise, it was very tasty.
Glazed donut — well made glazed donut. Soft, but not doughy. Not too sweet, which is good.
Cruller — first time trying a cruller. Choux dough shaped in a fluted ring, then fried. Light and airy, not too sweet. It was solid.
I paid 3.85 for all three, and I got a really good value for what I paid. Does this beat out Ronald’s? No. It is a great option for those living out east, or those who want a late night donut.
BTW, when you enter the store, you will see pictures of policemen all over the wall. The owner told me why. policemen are the best judges of a good donut. LMAO
