The taste was alright but a lot of sugar. The service and atmosphere was great. I would not name the competitor in the review but I believe their donuts (especially the chocolate ones) were really good. While they're still not healthy and ANY sugar is still bad for the health.Vegetarian options: Got some vegetarian baked goods.

Best donuts available late at night, the same baker always greets us as he's going through his nightly donut-making cycle.This time, wife and I went around 3am after working late, and we splurged (2 each, saving for brekkie). Chocolate glaze = drool yum "deliciousoso" (wife's pronunciation, horribly hilarious)Parking: Tons of parking right in front and in aisle parking lotKid-friendliness: It's a donut shop! Nothing fancy or circus-y, just smells like good donuts, and the baker smilesWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair can easily move freely, flat floor, no clutter or blockage

this used to be the place to be all my life growing up in irvine so i was super disappointed to come in tonight and pay almost $5 for one glazed donut and one maple donut… im no cheapskate but that is absolutely not the value of two 12+hr old regular donuts.

I use to come here and sit have a donut w coffee. Now, there is no tables and when i went in there is arrows on the ground for line purposes, 2 people came in behind me and got service before i did and when new people came in and saw they did the same...this must be new owners....not about the people, just for the MONEY....? BTW, I never got a donut...I was invisible.?

My review is strictly based on the donut hole only. Their price is reasonable. That’s a plus!The donut is okay for me.The texture is not crispy. The inside is soft and has moisture. If you like light donuts, you might like it.

Donut Star is average at best, but considering the fact that they are 24hrs, has an extensive menu, and are somewhat happy to get you fed, I’d give them 5-stars. They are far from the best, but they are the best within a 5 mi radius. Return the favor and buy your donuts and breakfast, lunch and late-night-elevenses here if you’re staying “local”. They are genuinely doing the immediate community a great service.

staff is always attentive, prompt, friendly, a warm environment, open 24 hours. Those are hot warm and delicious donuts and more to satisfy every craving and need.
I love donuts! The donuts here are super good. The atmosphere needs some work. I like to hang out for a bit while I eat but the shop doesn't really have tables or any type of entertainment. The service is friendly on the plus side.

I hate giving out my secrets, but Donut Star always makes a fresh batch at around 1 a.m. every day (by the same guy for the past 10+ years.) They even got those spicy jalapeno croissants they sell at Seaside, minus the drunk people and the long wait. Plus, it's one of the very few spots that is open 24hrs which is rare in Irvine.Shout out to my dude working the late-night shift; always delivering the goods! ??☕
