"The words “not too sweet” are plastered all over Knotted’s branding, but most things here are, in fact, pretty darn sweet. This wildly popular Korean donut chain’s first overseas location has nearly two dozen flavors on the menu. All of the donuts are about the size of a child’s fist and fall into one of two categories: cream-filled, which are cut open like sandwiches and stuffed with flavored whipped creams, and custard-filled, which are piped and sealed. The success rate hinges on the flavor, but the cream donuts are usually better. The best is the simple strawberry, which tastes like a peak-summer strawberry shortcake." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
