| - I was super excited that my crew decided to eat at District One yesterday, 'cuz this place has beeeeeen on my bookmark list of places to try once I moved to Henderson. So of course the big question here is, does the hype live up to what everyone says it is?! Well, let me start off by stating that I didn't get their most ordered item which is the Lobster Pho or Bone Marrow Pho or even the Ox Tail Pho (it's too HOT outside for Pho, right now) with that said I will be back to try those items when it gets cold outside...
My hubby, homegirl and I arrived on a Sunday morning at around 11:15ish and there was no wait- we were seated right away. Jennifer was our server, who provided the perfect amount of customer service! She provided great recommendations all of which we practically ordered:
1) Garlic Serrano Chicken Wings: 5 Stars. Great crunch and a spicy flavor kick. I loved the slices of serranos sprinkled atop the wings.
2) Ox Tail Fried Rice: 5 Stars. I can eat this all day! The rice is cooked perfectly, there are tons of pieces of beef ox Tail; add sriracha, and this dish is bomb! Great portion size, we shared this between 3 hungry people. *wink
3) Vietnamese Beef Carpaccio: I love me some raw meat, of course the best I've ever had was in France- but who's asking. Lol. This particular Carpaccio wasn't that great. I would give it a hard 3 Stars, that's it. Idk what it is but the sauces on the meat seemed to have cooked it a bit so it wasn't as raw as I prefer. I love me some truffle oil, but it gave a weird taste. Would I order this again? Probably not. It's not a true Carpaccio dish, in my opinion -also for the price it's not worth it.
All in all, District One offers delicious food in a cool-hipster ambiance environment. I would totally come back to try the Pho!
