District One

District One at the corner of Old Denton Road and the President George Bush Turnpike in Carrollton represents Vietnamese cuisine and culture in this strip mall that is home to other Asian businesses.

Owner Tom Búi is living his dream of sharing his beloved cuisine with the rest of North Texas, serving food straight from the streets Hồ Chí Minh City. His goal is to capture the traditional tastes. Hence, you will find your favorite Vietnamese staples like banh mi and pho in the long list of dishes on the menu.

Bo ne, Vietnamese-style steak and eggs, will hit home for any beef-loving Texan. Tender steak, a dollop of pate, a single Vienna sausage and fried eggs over easy on a sizzling plate is eaten with a baguette. Bánh bột chiên, pan-fried rice cake tiles mixed into beaten eggs are fried into a flat omelet. It's best with a dip into the accompanying sauce and slather of Sriracha. Of course, the owner puts his signature on his take of the banh mi, Đặc Biệt Ông Tom or Mr. Tom’s special sandwich. His secret sauce is creamy and savory, complementing the crusty baguette.
