Customer Reviews

The doughnuts were very delicious and sweet. Cheaper price for a dozen donuts than I?ve gotten at other places. Very diverse selection to choose from too. The cashier is very polite and helpful. The customer service was very good in my experience.

The Worse Chocolate Twist i ever had. The Doughnut was Very Very Greasy like a sponge on the bottom . I took one bite and I had to Spit it out. My mouth had alot of grease in it. I had a after taste for awhile. The also charge a $ for any amount under $5.

I?ve had way better donuts! I was craving a maple bar and have been wanting to stop by the donut king II and boy do I regret it so disappointed. Going elsewhere when I?m craving a delicious donut! Not here!!!

i honestly wouldn't rate a star if i had a choice! we've been coming here for years and unfortunately my experienced today will be why our family will no longer buy from them. I've always order #3 bf sandwich and depending on whose working the portion sizes change when this shouldn't be a factor, it seems to always be when the non asian worker is working things be off...they charge a fee now for flavored creamer for your coffee which is ridiculous.... had i known this i would have never bought anything and

I don't know why it took me so long to come here. An Asian American donut book and movie reminded me though. Open all the time with a drive thru and a giant donut up top, which is wonderful. They didn't have the biggest selection (mostly classics and no specialties) when we went in the evening. Apparently all the breakfast egg sandwiches come with bacon as a default and you can get even more meats. It was freshly made so it took a second. The sandwich was delicious on a croissant with melty cheese. Donuts

Wow this place had great tasting donuts across the board. I got one donut from each tier and enjoyed each one. So light and fluffy inside with the thinnest crisp on the outside. Amazing flavor. I just loved it. And the sandwiches on croissants were to die for. I'm mad I don't live closer. I'd definitely want to go here again. There was a bit of a wait but absolutely worth it.

Very friendly service. It's like Cheers; once you've gone twice, they remember who you are. They are open early and stay open late. They assorted choice of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They have been doing business in Gardena, CA for the last 20 years. I would highly recommend.

I did wait in line for awhile. I was hoping for a chocolate glazed with peanuts.....unfortunately they only had it with caked donuts. It was still good though. I got my husband a ham sandwich, which he liked, particularly the croissant bread. Also, the bottle of water you get is like a 20oz bottle, which was cool.

There Sundays are basically a banana split in a big plastic cup which for myself was great it was also under 6 bucks which is cheaper then Baskin Robin's and you get more stuff to which is always good

Terrible service, the attendant was on the wireless headset the whole time in a full blown conversation, talking into the box over the donuts that I have picked to buy. My order of donuts and moca was wrong due to her conversation that she had more passion for. Hopefully she Server : Chhakvy wasn't the owner, couldn't believe what I was experiencing. Was my spot, now used to be.

This place is better than Randy's Donuts hands down the glaze is the best Donut in L.A

So I've been coming to Donut King 2 since I was a kid with my mom and dad. Then as an adult and when I started working I treated my Mom often. The donuts are soft fresh and just melt in your mouth. Now fast forward that I'm a mom, I've been bringing my daughter here since she was little. Well, she loves these donuts so much, that we ordered 8 dozens for her sweet 15! They were a hit and we didn't have many leftover. Today I got to try some amazing cookies. All I can say is OMG! I tried, oatmeal, pea

I come here every Friday and its best donuts ever for the last 20 years

Awesome Night Cashier Was Patient With Us. Thank You Boss! Appreciate it! My Son Eating 2 Donuts. Which I'm Surprised. There Soft.

A lot of items for a Amal drive thru spot, friendly and quick

The donuts ?? are fresh. No walk up service. Two drive thru windows. They are open 24 hours ?? They have a glaze donut the size of a dinner plate.

I love this donut store they always have fresh donuts all day.

Great place, drive thru for donuts or ice cream specialty shop!!

Always quick service. Never have to repeat my order. My donuts are fresh and a wide variety. Just the right amount of sugar and cream in my coffee without me telling them how much. My go to donut spot! And it's a drive-thru...

Used to love to getting donuts here, but customer service has gone downhill, also a $1 fee for debit card?

I be hella hi and come straight here in the middle of the night and it always hits the spot! They?re coffe is strong and not watered down and they?re always very friendly and quick!

Quick and fresh donuts RECOMMENDED 100%

It seems the gentleman in drive up window decided to have a friendly conversation with the person in front of me for almost 10 minutes. When he finally took her order it took about a minute and a half to complete. Totally unprofessional ! I wanted to order three dozen donuts but I decide to go to another location.

Pretty good place, 2 drivethrus and open late. Cant really ask for more.

Good donuts, when they are available... I used to come here several nights a week for years and it was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and even remembered my usual order. But the last several months there have been a lot of new staff who are not as helpful and just sit around on their phones while you wait, and most of the good donuts sell out in the morning. Haven't been able to get anything the last 6-8 times I've been, and since its basically a waste of time to stop by after 11am. I

We love this place, Always fresh, Always great friendly service. And best of all there always open. ????

Best donuts, little on the pricier side but they throw in free donuts all the time. Good quality everyone from work loves them. Go with the premium dozen

Ordered delivery from this place today. Iced coffees and donuts. The donuts are fresh and great, of course. I ate the lemon-filled one in particular and it was filled SO MUCH.I couldn't believe it! The iced coffees were good. Would order delivery again. Edit: Did order delivery again and I'm still a happy customer. Thank you for taping the top of the blended coffees to keep them from spilling a lot.

I went here with my child's father after our parent-teacher conference it was right down the street from the school he ordered some food for him and his girlfriend and me I had the croissants which were cinnamon they were so good and I had a strawberry shake I would definitely be back

I placed an order for 50 donuts the day before and they were amazing! The donuts were ready on time and they were delicous. All my coworkers enjoyed the fresh donuts. I picked up some ham and cheese croissants and they were amazing too! It is very convenient drive thru and they accept credit cards. Thank you so much!

Love this Donut Shop, my kids love their donuts! I like the drive thru convenience + I can get my Lottery at the same time. I've been coming to this Donut Shop since my early teenage years. No complaints.

I Really Like This Place ! They Have Really Good Doughnuts! I always get a Cinnamon Twist or a dozen doughnuts ?? holes ! So fresh no matter what time of day you go . Always fresh ! And they have good lottery tickets also ! Would recommend to a friend or family member !!

The donuts were dry af!!!!! We went around 11pm and I ordered 3 different donuts, 2 scoops of 2 different ice creams, a shake and a bottle of chocolate. Everything but the donuts were good which sucks because it?s a DONUT spot!!! The donuts were red velvet, chocolate glaze and a chocolate on chocolate cake donut and each 1 of them were dry and not flavorful! Not even my kids would eat them so that tells y how bad they were. I hope they?re not that bad in the day time ???????

The coffees is coffee- hot and strong. It?s basic but it does what it?s supposed to do-satisfy your coffee addiction. Lol The service is always great they are super friendly. As for the donuts, some are dry, the cinnamon rolls used to be perfection literally but they are a bit too saturated in oil. The donut holes are my go to. I think sometimes when I have tried other ones like the cinnamon crumb it was hard and possibly a day old donut. Listen I?m a donut junkie-sometimes certain donuts aren?t fresh. Over

Well, I thought these people have change they did not. They still overcharging as well. Do not listen four months ago I went to ask for a ham and cheese croissant when I went in the bag to get my ham and cheese croissant I just found a plain croissant I was so far away I could not turn around to get my ham and cheese croissant Now.. yesterday it was kind of chilly so we stopped to get two green teas medium. They are $2. Sum change like that and just know you will be charge extra for the color of your skin.

Try this place out for the first time today. The donuts are big and tasty. Also they gave me extras .

Donuts were fresh and soft.

Absolutely love love this place!! Food are good, donuts are great! Price are super reasonable. Customer service?s wonderful as well. My girl Jackie is always sweet & nice every time I come through. Satisfied every time.

I love this location! The have the best Chocolate Doughnuts Holes. My daughter and I love them. Just about everyday before school she wants to go but I treat her with it once a week . I wish they did them on Sundays too. She wants them before church on Sundays too.

Delighted in their raised donuts but the red velvet and chocolate were dry and tough. You can purchase lottery tickets and there is an ATM in the front. The owner (male) is so kind and I prefer to purchase when he is there. The downside is that "Baker's Dozen" here means 12 doughnuts not 13 as is tradition. Open 24 hours but dicey neighborhood at night.

First time here. Was hoping based on other reviews it would be better than average. It was pretty ??. I got coffee and 6 cake doughnuts. They were pretty standard. Some were better than others but overall pretty bland. Maybe the other stuff is good? Drive through only and $1 charge for using card. Doughnuts were like 1.15 a pop. Locals seem to like but this local was underwhelmed.

I stopped by to buy a lottery ticket since they have a drive thru. Of course I bought a twice. She gave me a sugar one instead of the regular glaze. So it was ok but I would have enjoyed it more if she had given me the correct doughnut.

This is my go-to Donut Spot whenever I need that fix. OPEN 24/7 but the freshest donuts are always in the AM. Not only can you buy that coffee and Donut combo.. but you can also buy dem lotto tickets.. whether Scratchers or Mega Millions.. pick em up in the drive-thru.. just look for that big ?? in the sky on Western and Marine.

The BEST GLAZE Donut! Customer service is excellent as well. I will be back ;)

I didn't want to believe the reviews. But this place is legit. Great effin donuts: Soft... Buttery... Fluffy.. They almost melt in your mouth. I'm pleased.

I was visiting Redondo Pier one late evening with my wife and was craving a Fresh Donut at 2 am. So i searched the web on my phone trying to find one open so late and came across Yum yum?s and another shop but decided to skip them because we saw Donut King II on the list and since we where heading home back to La Puente we decided to take the long way home and give this place a shot. I?m so Happy we came here every thing was Hot and fresh and very Delicious. Jackie was so friendly and helpful i am more than

Great experience Great maple bar donuts cinnanon donuts and sandwich turkey and roast beef special and passion cold tea. EXCELLENT Customer Service it be a two line wrap around the Donut King 2 Go get you some Fresh Donuts,Passion Tea

Very convenient. You can grab a bite to eat. Healthy sandwiches. You will be tempted by the donuts. My favorite is their Thai Tea. You can pickup your lotto tickets and get some ice cream. I say that's a win-win.

Honestly one of the best. Cups of coffee I've ever had just cream and sugar it was really good.!!! Paired it with a croissant with ham and egg bacon and cheese extra toasted made fresh to order.

The name is "Donut King 2." With an emphasis on the "King!" It's good to be King. And Donut King 2 has, hands down, the Best Doughnuts in Gardena! Yeah, I said it! And if anyone is doing it better, I haven't been there. They always taste fresh. The frosting is always properly applied, never too much, never too little. Texture is spot-on. I highly recommend Donut King 2. In fact, I'll meet you there. I don't have photos because my donuts never last that long.

In a Covid world, love any drive thru or curbside pickup. This is one of the few mom & pop donut shops with a drive thru. As a fat guy, I can attest to their great tasting donuts. Love their red velvet donut, you can really taste the chocolate flavor.

Donuts were too greasy or buttery Donuts should be enjoyable to eat no tasting grease

Best customer service but Jacky is the best I love my Taro's smoothie I literally go every other day we been going for 2 years now. She hooks it up with free donuts too

Open 24/7. I use the donut shop as an excuse to go for a walk with ny daughter. They also has inexpensive ice cream, which she loves. They have a "fresh strawberry donut" which is a donut cut in half like a sandwhich and fresh strawberries in the middle

Good donuts but cash only. ATM machine looks a lil ghetto and suspect. Have your cash already...i thought sure i would get frauded so i went to go get cash somewhere else and came back. Nice guy inside getting the donuts You can drive up or walk up.

This place has the best coffee and donuts in town. They have chocolate donut holes. Yumm! Drive thru and usually open a lil late. Have been going here for years and always friendly service. Recommend.

Fresh Coffee, Fresh Doughnuts, Fresh Baked Goods and my Favorite is the Toasted Eggs, Cheese Turkey Sandwich. I leave my house in Compton to Travel to this Location to get my Coffee and weekly treat of their Breakfast Sandwich. FIVE STAR FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED.

Stopped by for desert after dinner. Delicious creamy ice cream cone. Good selection of flavors. 2 double big scoops and 1single big scoop for $6.00......well worth it.

Well now we have a winner here very very courteous service very attentive just the people in the car still know how to order so they take a little bit longer than usual something please the customer but the donuts are always fresh and I just wish they had t-shirts made cuz I would buy one

They are always helpful, but the young guy was sort of not to hair. Like hurry up and order sheesh, but I love to get my donuts and lottery tickets from here.

Yo let me tell you this place has the best coffee HANDS DOWN!!!! Simply Perfect and the donuts just melt in your mouth???????? promise that whenever I?m in the area I?m coming

My favorite 24hr local place! I've been going here for years, the best homemade subs and the best donuts, with the best customer service. I feel like family every time I go.

On my way home from a nearby Show, we see the big doughnut, so you do what the heart wants . The guys behind the beaming counter of creative and delicious doughnuts

I go here after work but today was bad experience I ordered 2 ham and cheese croissants when I arrived home I received a plain croissant and a ham and cheese staff should ensure they are giving the customers the correct items

The donuts use to be real good,now just ok.Make sure you know how much you have and how much lottery tickets are because the lady will charge you or keep your money with a smile ??

The Oreo Glaze is my favorite right up there with the Glaze Twist. I wish they would make a Red Velvet Glaze not everyone like cake donuts or even a Peanut Butter Resese Glaze.

This is one of my favorite donuts spots! (Next to king donuts on Vermont!!!) This one is much closer to me. Fresh donuts all day!!

Very interesting!! Highly Recommend

The donuts were good, but we found it difficult to speak with the lady because she didn?t understand the order.

Always fresh donuts and I like I dont have to get out the car. They have a drive up window.

They have sandwiches 24 hours, although this time the inner paper became part of my tuna sandwich and I had to pick it out of the sandwich (not inspiring). Like the donut usually a plain cake, and have been getting hot chocolate.

Good doughnuts but be careful in the drive through its very narrow there's no risk you hit your car in the fence or you rub your rim on the curb I learned the hard way ruined my doughnut mood...but the doughnuts are fresh been coming here for years and the color of the big doughnut has changed over the years

Great donuts-good prices-friendly service. Nothin better. Never met a donut I didn't like. ??. Greg McDowell

I?ve grown up coming here. They?ve always had the sweetest and most humble staff. I?d choose King Donut 2 over Randy?s any day!

My hot chocolate was disgusting!! My apple fritter was disgusting !! Will never go back there ever again !! I don't understand the hype about this spot !!! Side note: The family was nice !

First time at this location and we loved it. Fast, Good, friendly and fair pricing. Thank you for your work keep up the great work.

Best Donuts and Ice cream milkshakes! Drive thru is convenient. No matter where I am, I get my ice cream, doughnuts and Milkshakes from here.

LOVE MY SERVER ! SHE IS KIND & FRIENDLY AND ALWAYS SNEAKS ME AN EXTRA DONUT WHEN I PURCHASE A DOZEN... I LOVE HER

Good doughnuts. They have a pair of very busy drive-through windows serving a lot of customers. The walk-up window is a little neglected.

That Blueberry donut, SMH addicting especially when they're freshly made! Ohh my, what a delight ?? ??

I love them ! I been a client for over 17 years and I always stop by for ice cream cup and some swishers .

I drive from my city all the way to Gardena for their donuts. Mom mom good. Fresh every time no matter the time of the day.

The Big Donut!! Love it! Been going there for far too long and will continue to drive by when cravings for chocolate bar and rocky road ice cream kick in!

I love them so much and its so cool that you can drive through .very nice people and great experience overall.

The turkey sandwiches are great so delicious I get one every other day and I go at least 5 times a week

Ordered orange glazed cake donuts and the fruity pebbles donuts, they were so fresh, best donuts I've ever had.

I kept passing. I got donuts for myself, my sweetie & my sister. They are very delicious. Very friendly staff.

great tuna sandwich (i have the onions removed available 24 hours a day, plus great leftover donuts (sounds like not as many in friday nights). great employees.
