text: I give it a starsnnMaybe we just ordered wrong I was super hyped about District One and I even braved the cramped parking lot with our SUV just to try this place out But we came away just a bit underwhelmed No pop No wow Just a long drawn out pootnnDistrict One was hoppin no joke there Sports on the TV alcohol flowin freely and lots of heads on tables Very busy but luckily no wait when we visited The place is nice modern vibey nice leather booths Shiny new But the foodehwas a bit lacklusternnI love me some Vietnamese food and I love me some fusion But while that may be good and appreciated I got to sway back to the classics What good is fusion if you do not have the classic down Does one not learn how to walk first before trying a kick flip Do you just approach Heidi Klum and MInka Kelly without mastering the art of taking the grenade I think notnnPerhaps we should have ordered differently at District One because what we had just did not impress The menu looks delicious rice dishes soups noodles lots of Asianinspired cuisine But that day I really wanted pho and the wifey really wanted wings nnWe started off with the Tamarind Wings Wow For I am sorry to say I felt a bit ripped off These were of the tiniest wings I have ever seen At a piece damn were they small I mean these wings were literally half the size of those you see at a place like Wing Stop Nearly no meat I guess I would not have complained if they were some bombdiggety wingsbutthey were bland Oh just bland There was a bit of sweetness to them but that was it One note No mixing of flavors no sour no heat no crunch no nothing I do not think they were properly seasoned as well because I did not get much of a salty flavor either So plain This app definitely left the wifey and I hungry and hoping the main dish would fit the billnnWe both stayed basic and got the Pho Bo Vien the beef pho It came to the table steaming hot nice But againwhat is with the portion The bowl was smaller than what we were used to at other Vietnamese places around town And for each we were a bit surprised At other decent places around town for the same price I can get the special pho with more goodies and in a bigger bowl We got our little plate of veggies as well for sharing This included some basil bean sprouts and fresh chilies The pho was pretty good District One has some great broth Not overly salty lots of complex flavor good on the palette But boy did I crave for more noodles and more beef to sop this broth up nnThe service for us was excellent Server was very attentive was not hesitant to let us know if we had any questions on the menu to just ask Water was kept fillednnOverall it was an OK first visit to District One The wifey and I left hungry and were eating again less than two hours later I think place does warrant another visit but maybe next time we will go with the more popular dishes they serve I do fancy some Big Bone Soup or some Oxtail Pho
