District One Vietnamese Restaurant in Las Vegas Closing After 11 Years | Eater Vegas

"Set to close on July 6 (reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal) after an 11-year run, this restaurant was founded by chef Khai Vu, a native of Ho Chi Minh City, and takes its name from the city’s bustling central district. Since 2014 it served piping-hot bowls of pho with an entire lobster submerged in broth; clams in aromatic garlic and basil gravy; and fried chicken wings spiced with nước mắm gừng ginger and fish sauce, bánh mì pickles, jalapeño, and peanuts. The full bar served cocktails like a take on a Moscow mule with lychee and a mojito served in a coconut. The space will undergo a six-to-eight-week remodel before reopening as something new, potentially a Japanese restaurant." - Janna Karel
