Bonchon Korean Donuts
Price & Calories 2026
Two traditional soft and fluffy Korean donuts coated with cinnamon and sugar on the outside, served with a sweet cream dipping sauce. The only dessert on the Bonchon menu — and one worth saving room for.
The Only Dessert on the Bonchon Menu
Bonchon Korean Donuts are based on chapssal donut — a traditional Korean sweet made from glutinous rice flour or a yeasted dough that creates a uniquely soft, airy, and slightly chewy texture unlike Western donuts. Where American donuts are dense and doughy, Korean donuts are lighter and fluffier, with a thin crispy exterior from frying and a pillowy soft interior.
Bonchon’s version comes two per order, coated in a classic cinnamon and sugar mixture that clings to the warm, lightly oiled exterior. They are served with a sweet cream dipping sauce that adds richness and a cooling contrast to the warm, cinnamon-spiced donut.
At approximately $6.99 for 2 pieces, Korean Donuts are the only dessert on the Bonchon menu. They appear as a standalone item and in Bonchon’s combo meals — the “Drum & Donut” combo (3 drumsticks + fries + 1 Korean donut) is one of the most popular value meals on the menu at many locations.

Bonchon Korean Donuts FAQ
Bonchon Korean Donuts cost approximately $6.99 for 2 pieces. They are also available as part of the Drum & Donut combo meal (~$14.99) which includes 3 drumsticks and fries. Prices vary by location and may be higher on delivery platforms.
Bonchon Korean Donuts contain approximately 420 calories for 2 pieces (approximately 210 calories per donut). This is lower than most American donuts, which typically range from 250–350 calories each, due to the lighter Korean-style dough.
Bonchon Korean Donuts taste warm, sweet, and cinnamony on the outside with a soft, fluffy, slightly chewy interior. They are less sweet than American donuts — the cinnamon sugar coating provides the primary sweetness rather than the dough itself. The sweet cream dipping sauce adds a cool, creamy richness that complements the warm cinnamon coating.
Bonchon Korean Donuts contain Wheat (in the dough), Eggs (in the dough), and Dairy (in the sweet cream dipping sauce). They are not suitable for gluten-free, egg-free, or dairy-free diners. Always confirm allergens with your specific Bonchon location.
The standalone Korean Donuts order comes with 2 donuts plus a sweet cream dipping sauce. The Drum & Donut combo includes 1 donut alongside 3 drumsticks and fries.
No — they share cinnamon sugar coating but are fundamentally different. Churros are made from choux pastry extruded through a star-shaped tip and fried into a long, ridged stick. Korean donuts are round balls made from a yeasted or rice-flour dough — much softer, lighter, and fluffier inside with a smooth exterior.
Yes — available through the Bonchon app, bonchon.com, DoorDash, and Uber Eats at most locations. However, Korean Donuts are best eaten fresh and warm. For delivery, the cinnamon sugar coating holds reasonably well but the crispy exterior may soften slightly during transit. For the best experience, eat them at the restaurant or order for quick pickup.
