Mrs Kim's opened on July 8 and became a popular takeaway option for locked down Canberrans, selling up to 1000 donuts a day.
But the business has now been closed following reports of gastro symptoms from customers who consumed food from the premises.
ACT Health said investigations were under way into the business after it was notified last Thursday.
The small business has taken down its Facebook, Instagram and Uber Eats profiles.
ACT Health plans to work with the business to ensure it is providing safe food. It is unknown when, or if, Mrs Kim's plans to reopen.
"ACT public health officers undertake routine and proactive compliance activities with food businesses to ensure they are meeting their obligations under the Food Act 2001 for the safety of the community," a government spokesperson said.
Mrs Kim's has been contacted for comment.
