A nice little old school mom n pop joint with the old vinyl booths and original everything, just about. This is the kind of doughnut shop I love. They have "Asian coffee" on the menu, which I will assume is Vietnamese but I didn't order it because I was already fully caffeinated myself. Great place to stop while shopping around here.

I've ordered the pork combo but instead they gave me a carrot bahn mi with two cut meat.. my first and last coming to this place.

A local donut place which also sells incredible banh-mi. Very straightforward, you order at the counter and they have two tables you can sit at while you wait or if you choose to eat there. People tend to take their donuts/ banh mi to go. I always get the z5 which is the grilled pork sausage and I ask for everything on it, meaning the pickled carrots/daikon, jalapeno, etc. z1 which is their combo cold cut pork is solid too for cold cut fans. I love a banh-mi place that has great bread to filling ratio and this place is consistent with the quality of their sandwiches. You can get donuts and boba here too if you want something sweet which is always a bonus. Support this local business for whenever you're craving banh mi!

This place has really good donuts but the secret is the delicious Banh Mi sandwiches. It's a must try.

Like most Cambodian owned donut shops in CA, the donuts were excellent (ahkoon Ja-ran), Cambodian for thank you!! We love your donuts. Excellent customer service!!

I love Donut King. It is definitely one of Merceds hidden treasures. I have been a fan of their sandwiches since I moved here in 2020. The employees are super nice and always happy to help and serve you. The sandwiches are always freshly made and have a unique taste. The location is in a nice spot sometimes overlooked but definitely worth a try. I have updated their menu photos hopefully its a better view for you yelpers.

Food: 5/5 Been going here ever since Freshman year. Always consistent with there sandwiches and donuts. My friends and I go here religiously Service: 5/5 The workers here are very nice and would always ensure we got our orders right Vibes: 3.5/5 It's a tad bit run down in terms of furniture. Everything else would give you a local donut shop vibe.

Ordered 3 banh mi sandwiches. 2 combo pork and 1 BBQ pork. Love the bread! Fresh, crispy and crunchy. However, the overall sandwich was just okay. Mostly vegetables (lots of shredded carrots). If they could be just a little more generous on the meat, I think I would definitely buy again.

Yay they had everything we like

This is our go to Thai Iceed tea spot and we just tried the sandwiches today and very impressed. I will definitely be ordering the lemongrass chicken again, so good. I would be very happy if they served lemongrass rice bowl option in the future!!

I was around the area in Merced after visiting some family -- and we searched up boba places near…read moreour area. We came across Em-Tea on Apple Maps with 4.0 stars, and we decided on this location. It genuinely did not disappoint, the inside ambiance was super cozy and I loved the vibes it gave! Me and my sisters ordered the Thai tea, a drink mixed with mango and passion fruit, original milk tea, and mango tango. Our personal favorites were definitely the mango tango and thai tea, the flavors really hit! The service they delivered was quick and patient since we were still deciding, but overall everything was great! We aren't from Merced, so it's definitely a place we will come back to again the next time we visit our family or pass by Merced.

There is ample space inside of the facility with plenty of seating, alongside a claw machine and a shelf with board games. The menu was a little overwhelming (the default drink is that they let you pick multiple flavors and I didn't want to risk messing up my own order), so I went with one of their specialty drinks, the Caramel Camel. I set the sugar level to light, yet it reached a level of sweetness that was so intense that I had to get it redone. Even with an ever lighter level of sweetness, it still tasted excessively sweet. Overall, an interesting experience. If this is the best that Merced has to offer, I feel kind of bad for everyone in Merced for not having access to better drinks. Not sure if I'd get the chance to return as I don't normally go to Merced, but on the off-chance I end up in this area again I'd hope that maybe one of their other drinks was better.

We ordered coconut ube, strawberry matcha, and thai tea. The ube was not as strong as I would like. As for the Strawberry matcha, you can taste more of the matcha than the strawberry. Classic Thai tea was perfect and can tell they brew their tea leaves instead of it being powder. Food wise, we ordered 4 corn dogs. When they arrived, they were not piping hot at all. It was warm and kind of a disappointment considering we ordered the mozzarella cheese expecting a cheese pull when eating. I would have thought it was freshly made despite the long line but seems like it was sitting out for quite some time. We ordered 3 half cheese and half hot dog and they were cheap with the hot dog. It was 70% cheese and 30% hot dog. They messed up on one of our corn dogs. It was supposed to be 50/50 but instead got all cheese. It was hard to tell considering the fact that there was more cheese than hot dog. By the time we found out, it was already too late. Flavor of the corn dogs were good. Condiments to add were all self serve which I'm sure no one really knew about unless asked. There were no signs in the front. It would be great if honey mustard was added to the list. That's what is usually added on when buying else where. Service was great. Employees were welcoming and greeted you upon ordering. There was one rude employee that shouted at a family with kids requesting them to keep clear of order pick up area. They should have a sign out to let customers know to keep clear of the area to avoid this. Overall rating: Food - 3/5 Drinks - 3/5 Service - 4/5

I loved our weekend treats. They lasted a few days because we broke them apart and ate them like…read moredonut holes. They were still good when they were old and stale. Ube - not too sweet and so satisfying. My son said this was his favorite. Chocolate Salted Caramel Crunch - I think I need to eat more of these to think of the right word besides yummy Doughchii de Leche - heavenly Oreo Cookie Butter - okay, but my least favorite Strawberry Pebbles - my favorite! Took me back to childhood. I was watching TV when I took my first bite and forgot it had fruity pebbles! So I was taken by surprise by the delightful and crunchy fruitiness. It's missing the fifth star because the donut place near me is budget-friendlier and still the best in Modesto.

I'm a fan! Been here a few times already and this is the best Japanese donut shop in the area…read more Their shop is located right off the freeway exit, making it very convenient for people like me who don't like driving into town. I wished they were closer to Elk Grove because the mochi donut shops here are blah and chained and they do not compare to Doughchii Mochi. I love the variety of flavors they offer and they're freshly made. Their donuts are airy but balanced enough where you still have that mochi texture. It's not heavy and dense like other mochi donut places. All their flavors are bomb! The ube, circus animal, maple bacon, and cookie and cream are among my favorites but honestly, everything is good. Drinks are good too! The owner and staff are friendly, helpful, and provide great customer service every time. I highly recommend placing your order in advance though, because they sell out quick.
