Donut Star & Oasis Barbeque Grill Restaurant

This temple of junk food, grease and sugar CLOSED in 2010 (replaced by Donut World). Donuts, Chinese food and asian BBQ, what more could u ask for. Oh yeah, it’s also a favorite hangout of former convicts and neighborhood homeless people.
When released from jail ex-​convicts receive housing vouchers. And in SF most of the little hotels that accept those vouchers are located along 6^th street and the tenderloin. Hence the largest concentration of ex-​cons and sex offenders are found in these areas.

Listen to the ex-​felons tell their stories about their time behind bars.
Wonder at how the chinese (?) couple works here day in, day out.
Amaze at the quality of the donuts & relative goodness of the coffee.
Learn how that homeless guy managed to get his wheelchair despite having two seemingly good legs.
Discover just how much your need for coffee in the morning can stain your judgment by realizing that you keep coming back.
