Fort Worth dumpling maven Hao Tran is about to trade in her tiny Near Southside market for a full-blown restaurant. Construction is set to start this January on Duong DeVille, a new Vietnamese spot that will dramatically scale up her operation with roughly 124 seats inside, about 34 more on a courtyard patio, a full bar and even a TV. Tran expects to hire around 15 to 25 staffers and is eyeing a buildout of about five months, with a late spring opening on the calendar. She says she may keep Hao’s Grocery & Café running for cooking classes and private dinners, using the smaller shop to complement the bigger new venture.
