Fort Worth restaurateur Hao Tran has a new cafe and market in the works: Called Duong DeVille, it will open in a new development called Entrepreneur Park along 405 Jim Wright Fwy. in White Settlement. According to Tran, it's slated to open by late 2025.

Tran is the owner of Hao’s Grocery and Cafe, the Asian grocery store and cafe she opened in 2019 where she sells dumplings and other foodstuffs.

Tran, who was born in Vietnam and moved to the U.S. with her family after the fall of Saigon, says Duong DeVille will offer family recipes, noodles,

“It will be a full menu of Vietnamese dishes from different regions in Vietnam from the south and from the west, which is Hue,” she says. “We’ll have Asian-inspired mocktails, as well.”

And of course Tran’s popular dumplings, in options such as veggie, pork, or smoked beef cheek.

“I think they're so popular because it appeals to all age groups and transcends all cultures; it’s not anything extreme or too spicy, and it’s fun to eat,” she says.

Duong will also have a small market with offerings similar to Hao’s Grocery and Cafe, including sauces, meats, noodles, and pickled vegetables such as habanero pickles and pickled lotus rootlet.

It's going into a new development in White Settlement from by siblings Will Churchill and Corrie Watson Fletcher of Frank Kent Cadillac fame. Tran says she's known them for years, as they're both "very embedded in the community," and she's done a few events for them previously.

Churchill is co-owner of Heim Barbecue, which is relocating its restaurant in Burleson to Weatherford; as well as Fort Brewery, which just closed its cafe with a plan to focus on its brewing operation. According toFort Worth Report, he and Fletcher just took over four buildings along Jim Wright Freeway, which will also serve as a new headquarters for the Frank Kent Motor Company. They also plan to create a corporate and catering headquarters for Heim BBQ, from which they'll sell merchandise and frozen foods.

The 4,000 square-foot space designated for Duong DeVille will have space for the cooking classes that Tran hosts several times a month.

“I’m looking forward to offering a more full menu, a full bar, a mini grocery store and more space for classes, dinners, and events,” Tran says. “I’m limited in what I can offer in food now, but at the restaurant, I can offer a full menu.”
