Mister Donut has undertaken expansion and product diversification efforts in the East Asian market. In Shanghai, the brand has returned to China after a seven-year absence, opening a takeout-only location in the Global Harbor shopping complex. Operated via a franchise agreement, this store serves as the first in the East China region, with plans to open a second location by December 2026 and a long-term target of 30 stores by the end of 2029.

In Japan, the brand has introduced seasonal menu items, specifically the ‘Hong Kong-style Plump Shrimp Wonton Noodles’. This product, which features shrimp wontons in a chicken-based broth, was launched in late September to capitalize on social media interest.
