trendy & fun – Reasonably priced, delicious food, excellent specialty cocktails (lychee martini is excellent as is the bl ood organe martini) and it is a cool atmosphere. Has a very distinct smell that could be off-putting to some.

Good value, decent food – I was satisfied with my meal. The menu was interesting, but not complicated. The food was very reasonably priced, and of better than average quality. This place wasn't too edgy or trendy, but it never promised to be. The decor was actually pretty interesting. The communal tables in the hall-type dining room are kind of fun. I would return the next time I am in the area and am looking for a quick, cheap, quality meal.

Trendy, cheap, unique, good – This place is really trendy, fun, and the food is great. Good value for NYC. Only downside is communal seating.

It's What I Expect – The thing I like about Republic is it ability to produce a quality meal in a friendly and efficient manner. Yes, I know the dining environment can be loud at times and a bit overwhelming, but I expect it of this busy Union Square Restaurant. How could you not seeing the restaurant's massive size and location? I usually sit at the counter (on a couple of occasions at a table) and have almost always had a friendly and competent waiter. The reason I recommend Republic to people is it's continuous deliveranc... read more

Terrible Service! – I must agree with the previous diner's review. I have been to Republic several times, to keep "giving it a shot" but always leave un-impressed by the food and just annoyed by the service. But tonight was the worst, when the hostesses would not seat us (table of 3) since the kitchen was 20 minutes from closing (it wasn't even 10pm). When she finally said we could walk back ourselves and see if there were tables open in the back (which I image should've been her job as the hostess...), we were not allowed t... read more

Awful food and rude staff! – I have given this place a number of chances because I live in the area and it's convenient, but each and every time it's always been mediocre at best. However, after my experience there tonight (my boyfriend wanted to give it another go), I REFUSE to ever set foot in Republic again. I ordered my usual pad thai (my favorite Thai dish that I get pretty much at any Thai restaurant I go to) and when I was eating it, I wondered why my mouth was burning... it was so spicy! When is pad thai meant to be ... read more

Worm In Our Food – My boyfriend and I were very excited to try Republic -- it's a cute restaurant with a great decor. We ordered food which came promptly, but there was a live WORM in my boyfriend's pad thai. The others sitting at our table (Republic is cafeteria style seating) asked for their checks as well seeing the slimy, dark creature crawling on top of an egg-noodle. Thoroughly disgusted, we gave the food back to the server and asked for the check. The waiter took about 10 minutes to give us the check, although only ab... read more

Not everything is great, but a great casual favorite – A Union Square institution, this is a good place for a quick casual eat or for delivery. I order their food a lot, but there are two shortfalls. First, eating in canteen style tables in one of the noisiest places I?ve been too is not everybody?s idea of fun. Second, most things on the menu are not great, they are just OK. I love just one thing on the menu ? the grilled marinated salmon is amazing, just can?t get enough of it. Everything else, its OK but not amazing. If y... read more

Good food, good price, good location – Delicious food. Great prices. I loved the sushi sashimi salad and the coconut shrimp appetizer. The pad thai wasn't good. I sent it back. They are understaffed there, and it is very crowded. It is not a place to go if you want privacy at your table. Overall, this is a good place.
