Bonchon Korean Donuts — Price & Calories 2026
Two hand-twisted Korean donuts (Kkwabaegi) coated in cinnamon sugar and served with a sweet cream dipping sauce — the only dessert on the Bonchon menu, and one worth saving room for. Here are the current price, calories and what to expect.
The Only Dessert on the Bonchon Menu
Bonchon Korean Donuts are Kkwabaegi — the traditional Korean twisted donut, hand-twisted into a rope shape and fried until light and airy inside with a thin, crispy exterior. Unlike dense American ring donuts, Kkwabaegi are lighter and fluffier, and the twisted shape gives every bite more crispy, sugar-coated surface. Kkwabaegi have been a Korean street-food staple, sold from carts and stalls across Seoul for decades.
Bonchon's version comes two per order, coated in a classic cinnamon-sugar mixture that clings to the warm, twisted exterior, and served with a sweet cream dipping sauce that adds richness and a cool contrast. At $6.99 for 2 pieces, they are the only dessert on the Bonchon menu — a perfectly sized finish to share at the end of a meal.

Korean Donuts Calories
An order of two Korean Donuts is about 379 calories — roughly 190 per donut. That is on the lighter side for a fried dessert: most American glazed donuts run 250–350 calories each, so Bonchon's airier, twisted Kkwabaegi dough keeps them comparatively moderate.

Korean Donuts FAQ

How many calories are in Bonchon Korean Donuts?

What are Kkwabaegi donuts?
Kkwabaegi are traditional Korean twisted donuts — a yeasted dough hand-twisted into a rope shape, fried, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. They are a long-standing Korean street-food treat: light and airy inside with a thin, crisp exterior.
What do Bonchon Korean Donuts taste like?
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 carries most of the sweetness — and the sweet cream dip adds a cool, creamy richness.
What allergens are in Bonchon Korean Donuts?
They contain wheat (dough), egg (dough) and dairy (the sweet cream dip). They are not suitable for gluten-free, egg-free or dairy-free diets. Always confirm allergens with your location.
Are Korean donuts the same as churros?
No — they share a cinnamon-sugar coating but are different. Churros are choux pastry piped into ridged sticks; Bonchon's Korean donuts are Kkwabaegi — hand-twisted yeasted dough, lighter and fluffier inside with a soft, airy chew.
Can I order Korean Donuts for delivery?
Yes — through the Bonchon app, bonchon.com and major delivery apps at most locations. They are best fresh and warm, though: the coating holds up reasonably in transit but the crispy exterior can soften, so dine-in or quick pickup is ideal.
Best Pairings for Korean Donuts
Drumsticks (Soy Garlic)
Sweet-savory Soy Garlic drumsticks followed by warm cinnamon donuts is a natural flavor progression — the donut sweetness complements the glaze.
Wings (Spicy)
Order the donuts as dessert after Spicy Wings — the sweet, cinnamony donut cools the residual chili heat for a perfect ending.
Steamed Rice — $2.05
Keeping the main side simple (398 cal) leaves room for dessert without over-ordering.
Pickled Radish — Free
The sour crunch cleanses the palate before dessert, making the donuts taste even sweeter.
