Portion size was outstanding, probably two meals for us. Prices moderate to slightly high depending on the option. Only issue I had was both our dishes were very salty. Maybe we just haven't had authentic Szechuan for a while, but it was very salty, especially the Szechuan beef. My taste buds were numbed and it wasn't spice. Otherwise we liked it very much.

Great upscale breakfast/lunch spot…read more We were looking to get out for lunch during the week and picked Flair based on Yelp reviews, and we're glad we did. The place is open, light, and airy. Tables are mostly four-tops with a couple larger tables by the window. There is a bar with a few stools for singletons. We were there for lunch and the menu had several items I might have liked to try: soups, salads, sandwiches... you get it. Our server was friendly and witty and helped me pick between two salads that both looked yummy. My companion picked the salmon. We were both impressed with the freshness, taste, and presentation of our selections. The wine selection is outstanding, and they even had a non-alcoholic beer for me (dry January). The prices are reasonable for what we received, and we'll be back. BTW, the breakfast menu looks even better, although we don't go out to breakfast much.

For some reason I didn't expect the restaurant to have a layout like it did (it was a bit small) but nevertheless, I was glad to get a table and have a good experience, even though we didn't have a reservation. Parking was easy also, as there is a nearby parking garage just a few steps over, that was close and plentiful. That accessibility easily takes away a bit of anxiety, because many times when a restaurant is in Chapel Hill, you worry if you'll ever find a spot on Franklin, especially on the weekends. Fortunately, that is not a problem here. I ordered Hamachi and sushi rolls, while my guests had a rice dish, ramen and sushi - all of which was delicious. The server was very attentive and kind - we had such a great experience and will be back!

LIKE WHAAAAAT! I should've realized it when I saw that part of the name of the restaurant was "Station"! Even then, the seats inside and not in the train were also nice too :) We came on a Friday evening and were surprised that it was not busy... for like 10 minutes lol. Parking can be a little tricky in this area, since there's Weaver Street Market within the plaza, along with a few other small mom 'n pop shops! We all ordered a dish and a soup. My partner and I got pad thai, pad see ew, and tom yum soup! The restaurant had a lot of really good options, but we usually like to order our go-to Thai options on our first time visit. I can't comment on the pad see ew, but I like how the server was kind and confirmed with us the amount of heat we wanted to eat. Lol, you know it's gonna be Asian spicy when they double check with you! Tom yum soup was not bad--tangy and a little pack of heat (sorry, I can't handle too much spice) and the pad thai was chewy and had a good amount of sauce and protein with each bite! I actually liked that it had an acidity compared to some other thai places I've tried where it's just too sweet. Portion size was just right! I'd definitely come back here again to try the other options :) We had so much fun chatting that I didn't get a chance to snap a photo of the interior, but trust me, it's really nice! I'd even recommend this as a casual date night place.

I think it is a shared lot because the restaurant was pretty empty during my visit today. i have visited twice now (jan 2026 & may 2026) and i order a decent amount of food for the table to share. Both times, every plate has been room temperature. Thats super disappointing especially since the Korean dishes we ordered are typically served very hot (and in clay pots). It would be fine if my food was even remotely warm, but that hasnt been the case for either of my visits. Our food took a very long time to come out, which would have also been fine had the food came out hot, so i am wondering why it took so long to send out cold food? Also, for some reason there was a strong odor of some sort permeating through the beer hall. I couldnt place what it was but it was not pleasant for me. I feel like i am rarely sensitive to smells but i had to spritz a perfume to mask it. It might've just been a cleaning product or something, not sure. Something to note is that you have to pay for the banchan here. This is typically served with your meals for no additional cost as they are considered 'essential' to your meal. So a charge for them was surprising for me.

I also had the Vietnamese Coffee which was a great pick-me-up, even on a cold day.  On top of the food and the ambiance, the staff was attentive, ensuring the food and drinks were refilled. The free, accessible parking out front is also nice.  This is a great dining option for those with a curious palate AND for groups with a variety of dietary restrictions or preferences.  It is an opportunity to taste a variety of Asian cuisine without a passport.

It's called the Manda Curry or Mom's Curry: Slow-cooked house coconut curry with fresh root vegetables, jasmine rice, and pumpkin. It reminds me of Vientiane Palace's Squash Curry. Upscale ambience!

The two times I went recently, it was a packed house, so reservations are definitely recommended. There's plenty of street parking within a close walk of the restaurant.

The chicken wings had an incredible, almost tempura-like batter to them. And the pork belly soup - omg - there's a reason it's the dish they most recommend. I will definitely be back!

I tried the Mezcal-based "Circle of Life" which was very tasty if a bit sweet. The food menu likewise had some of the usual suspects (not a bad thing), and some innovative dishes. While billed as an "Asian-Mexican fusion" place, most of the menu items were of the former variety. I had edamame chili, and Vietnamese noodles with veggies and tofu.
