Asian-Inspired Dessert Donuts

The New Pei Wei Thai Donuts are Freshly Made-to-Order

The Pei Wei Thai Donuts have been created by the brand as a new dessert that will offer consumers with a flavorful and familiar treat to enjoy with their meal. The donuts are made-to-order and tossed in a signature Saigon cinnamon and cane sugar topping that's paired with a condensed milk dipping sauce. This helps to merge a familiar dessert variety with Asian-inspired ingredients for a hybrid treat that will be enjoyed by consumers of various demographics.

The Pei Wei Thai Donuts can also be enjoyed free of charge by simply signing up for the My Wei Rewards program. The donuts have been launched alongside the new Miso Side Salad and Signature Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
