Donut Pros

Believe it or not, If I was confined into eating one sandwich per day for the rest of my life it would from Donut King’s.
This is a true hidden gem in Merced and by far the best asian sub place around town.
The price is right, its relatively healthy (tons of veggies), the ingredients are fresh, and time and time again the quality is always top notch. Not to mention the staff and owners are always very kind.
I recommend the beef Tri tip asian sandwich or the Nem Nuong pork sandwich.
Besides that its also a solid donut shop with a moderate selection and boba!
⁵⁄₅ would recommend.

Their breakfast croissant sandwich was delicious and so were the donuts. Hubbie loved their freshly brewed tea. Staff really made the experience! 5 stars:)

This was my first time having a sandwich from donut kings. I got the Asian season beef and I gotta say, it’s pretty fantastic! I ordered for deliver and was able to choose the time I wanted it. The website was easy to use even from my phone, the descriptions of the food were so eye catching and in the case of my sandwich it was SO ACCURATE! They did not skimp out on the meat, the sauces are flavorful, the slaw is like magic, the bread is perfectly toasted! It’s filling yet light and I’m in love. I also got the blended pineapple drink with boba and lychee and damn it’s good. I also got donut holes and that I’ll be enjoying thoroughly for dessert and for the midnight munchies. All in all, it’s an amazing place that serves 5 star flavors for 2 star prices! It’s full of variety and diversity and I highly recommend it to someone looking for great food at remarkable prices!

great donuts very fresh great drinks many Flavors especially the boba drinks a great location and great people

If you have not patronized Donut King, you are missing out!
Their donuts are Incredibly soft, always taste fresh and though the dozen donuts that are delivered are randomly selected by them (unless you ask for specific kinds) have always been spot on. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are delicious! I have never eaten a Vietnamese sandwich before this place so I don’t honestly have anything to compare it to, but I will say that any place I eat a Bahn mi at, will have big shoes to fill!
Also the fact that they deliver is fantastic! I have 5 kids and sometimes it’s a battle to get them ready to go out, so getting them all rounded up just for a donut run doesn’t seem worth it to me. The places I’ve lived at in the Bay Area didn’t have donut delivery spots so needless to say I have seen a lot of Michael (the delivery guy) since I moved here.
Lastly is a shout out to Michael, himself. Always on time (except once which I chalk up to being more my fault since I ordered reeeeally close to closing) but he was apologetic even though I put in my order literally 3 minutes before closing. He’s always cheerful and the orders I put in are always delivered correctly.
Now… I haven’t had a donut in a while… so guess it’s time to call Donut King! :D

One of the best boba places in Merced. I really love the bah Minh sandwiches especially the lemon grass chicken. And I thoroughly enjoyed the cronuts.

Heart shaped donuts and Free Delivery for Valentine’s Day! Thank you so much Donut King! I promised my sisters I was going to get them heart shaped donuts for Valentine’s day and I live in LA so I called around Merced to see if anyone had heart shaped donuts and wanted to see if I could pay with my card and have my sisters come pick them up. The first place I called was kind of rude and had poor customer service, the second didn’t have any — even though their chain website specifically advertised that they did, and the 3^rd place was Donut King!
The guy who answered was very nice and understanding, I wish I remembered to get his name — but he was awesome! He told me that they did have heart shaped donuts for Valentine’s day and even better than having my sisters come in to pick them up, I could order on their website
and they would deliver for free! He also said how nice it was that I was sending my sisters a surprise and that he looked forward to my order. I was pleasantly surprised at not only the online ordering and free delivery, but the great customer service.
I ordered a dozen special mix donuts online right away and gave special instructions include 4 heart shaped donuts and a special message. I picked a delivery time and once they were delivered, I got a call from the driver — I’m pretty sure it was the same guy I had talked to on the phone earlier in the morning, confirming the delivery to sisters. My sisters loved them! Thank you! All around excellent customer service and I am very satisfied with this experience — will definitely be sending donuts to my favorite people again soon!!!

Really good California rolls and sandwich just needed a lil more pastrami other than that it all was really good and the delivery person was really nice and friendly will defenetly will be ordering from them again

I have lived in Merced for 23 years and have driven by this place many many times. Ive heard about banh mi sandwiches but never tried one and I never knew they had them. I have my fav. donut place and I don’t like Boba so it makes sense that I wouldnt think twice about this place… However, I accidentally found out they had banh mi and decided to try one today. I got the bbq pork and WOW! it was really good. They made it fresh for me right there and while I was waiting I perused through their menu and looked at their donuts and this is definitely a place Im going to be coming back to in the future!!!

Hands down the BEST donuts in Merced County. I won’t buy them from anywhere but Donut Kings. Not only are they delicious but they also offer sandwiches boba drinks, egg rolls and I could keep on going but that will take forever. The best part aside from the amazing taste? THEY DELIVER!!! Couldn’t be any happier this morning. You won’t regret stopping in for a bite, I promise!

donut king = donuts + banh mi + boba tea. friendly staff. old but surprisingly comfortable seating. banh mi is the best i’ve had in the central valley and compares to the best i’ve had in the bay area and socal. bread is fresh and light. pork is tender, flavorful, and doesn’t have too much fat. veggies have the right amount of vinegar. donuts are fresh. tea was sweet and the flavor of the tea came through well.

Best banh mi in Merced, easy. Z1 sandwich is great, although there is a ton of carrots and daikon on it so it can be a bit sweet.
They also have a rewards card, where you get a free sandwich or drink after so many visits.

i ordered the z1 sandwich. its not the best but i sure got my fix.
However, i’ll go back to try out the others one
i dont like the boba drinks, i have had better one

Best boba in Merced: a title often debated, even given the sparse choices. Donut King is the strongest contender for the title in my opinion, even with the new SnoCrave moving into town. The pineapple boba is delicious, and the Banh mi sandwiches aren’t slouches either! There’s something about seeing the same people every time I go in, the smell of fresh cronuts, and the excitement of getting your tenth stamp for a free drink or sandwich…
I’m scared that once I leave UC Merced, this is the one place I’ll miss most :(Donut King is the boba King of my heart

Good place to having a boba, donuts, warm greeting and sweet service.
I got the avocado boba smooth, today. It’s fresh, without caffeine, with chewy boba. I like it!
I tried some cronut and some donut with ham before. They are great.

We finally had the crunch donut this week and it was to die for. Seriously. I got there at 8am on Monday needing one and the lovely lady at the counter was so gracious to make one fresh for me. It was the best because it was the right mix of crunch and sweet with very little grease. The service is always great and I appreciate how wonderful they are with their customers. My husband went today with his boss and they had an equally great experience and even got their picture taken. Thanks for great donuts and service, I will be back on Friday to get donuts for my staff!

Coming from the Bay, where bomb boba comes from (share tea, T-pumps.etc) this place is really satisfying for boba. Merced standards this is amazing. WAY BETTER than Fusion Café. Not so much a fan for donuts tho ironically.

Don’t judge a book by its cover…
Accidently stumbled on this place… walked in to try a donut. Turned out to be amazing! Donuts are soft and fluffy! Tried the chocolate and glazed donut! Both excellent!

Nem Nuong on wheat with no jalapeños. Hands down. Said it so many times the kind lady already knows what I want every time I walk in.
The donuts are always fresh and the sweetness is on point: not too overbearing but not too weak either.
Any drink you get there is good. Their boba is standard chewy and tasty.
Everything is fairly priced.
The place itself is a quaint 80’s styled diner that shows its age, but definitely has character. I find myself sitting on their seats and letting my thoughts wander. It’s a very peaceful little place.

Hi This small donut shop is the one place I must stop at while in Merced. Donuts are fresh made daily. The service is great.
The highlight of their menu is their banh Mi sandwiches. They’re made with their own fresh cut meat and baked rolls.
