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.

nasty hostess – I have been to Republic numerous times and was aware of the communal seating arrangement...today, I arrived with my fiance for lunch and we were asked to follow the hostess to the center of a communal table. Although, we noticed that there was an empty table, where we could have sat alone. We asked for this table and the hostess RUDELY rolled her eyes and said NO. We repeated that we wanted to sit at a different table and once again she repeated NO with an attitude.My fiance and I eat out a lot and I have NEV... read more

avoid – The food is very bland and the service is very mediocre. The servers who are there seem to do a good job but they are grossly understaffed. So they repeatedly close huge sections of the restaurant. But they still try to pack the place in. We had 7 people sitting next to us in a space built for 4. On asking the manager why they couldn't be seated at one of the many many empty tables, she explained their lack of staff and said, "really, the food isnt great, so the only reason we are stay business is because we are on u... read more

Average Food/Service – While I do think one can make a much worse choice for Thai food, Republic is not the best. The Pad Thai is slightly bland, and other dishes just do not compare to other similarly priced Thai restaurants.

Great Night Out!! – The service is fast and the food is great. The restauraunt has a very communal feel. You share your table with other parties but you are never cramped. The prices are perfect and a dinner for two with appetizers was 40 bucks!!!. I loved it Would come back again. Try the Grilled Calimari and the Frid Wontons

More Unique but barely – I thought that with a very unique decor and environment that this place would be amazing. Their location is convenient but their food is no better than any other thai place. You pay for their rent basically. Also the service there is less than mediocre. Furthermore I called to make a reservation. Someone took it and then later when I got there they said that making a reservation doesn't make a difference-you wait behind the other people who got there-so there really was NO POINT in making a reservati... read more
