About
Downtown Raleigh's warehouse district hides a speakeasy-style entrance that opens into Five Star, an Asian restaurant set inside a cavernous tobacco warehouse since 2000. The minimalist, chic interior contrasts with the industrial shell, serving modern Chinese and Asian dishes. You'll find DJs spinning Wednesday through Sunday, sometimes featuring world-renowned names. It's a full-bar spot with happy hour and outdoor seating, ideal for a night out. Reservations are recommended on busy nights. Nearby, The Pit offers a different kind of Southern smokehouse experience if you're in the mood for barbecue. Fridays and Saturdays tend to be the liveliest.

From the community
“A slick menu of traditional Chinese.”
Five Star feels like a secret urban retreat tucked away in downtown Raleigh's warehouse district. You come in through a nearly hidden entrance, evoking a speakeasy, into a former tobacco warehouse that's been transformed with a sleek, minimalist Asian-inspired design.

“Great Restaurant and Location”
The Chinese food here is outstanding, especially for a city that has plenty of Asian cuisine options, and dining in the Tobacco District adds to the fun and excitement. Mellow Mews!
