- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsFascinating and excellent cautionary tale!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsFascinating story, that could likely not be repeated in Trump's America. How fast we as a nation have fallen.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 Stories are told in this documentary: - How Cambodian refugees escaped war and genocide and came to the US - Ted's (the donut king) personal story. - How the donut business evolved over the decades and children of Cambodian immigrants are taking over their parents' businesses. The first 2 are absolutely incredible.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsyes! I knew more than most about this particular, awesome Los Angeles situation but it was great to hear from so many stake holders -- and the longer story of Ted Ngoy himself is... so intense.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsInspirational. Good lessons to learn from both the successes and failures
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars'The Donut King' is a wonderfully-told documentary film which tells the life story of California donut shop owner, Ted Ngoy. It's fascinating on multiple levels. Ngoy helped so many Cambodians set up a life by franchises his donut stores. The reverence the talking heads have for Ted is incredible. Many different storylines are covered, but none more stood out than the good ole American Dream. Final Score: 9/10
