Noodles Glaore! Republic may look a bit daunting at first. The restaurant looks like an ultra hip, modern loft with photos of beautiful people on the walls. However, it is a very inexpensive place with a creative take on broth noodles and cold noodles. Definately try the grilled calamari skewers and for vegetarians, try the Vietnamse Vegetable Cold Noodles! YUM! PROS: Cheap, Decor, Service CONS: No substitution allowed with menu.
Very cool place – Putting you out of your comfort zone as you sit next to a complete stranger, this place has a great vibe and the intriguing art of humans draped in noodles. Fast seating was a plus yet the air conditioning could have used a tune-up. The food selection wasn't overbearinig and simple to comprehend. Summer drink menu was great, although our food arrived before our drinks -- seemingly odd. Overall value was good, food excellent, making this a place to return to.
Fast, good noodles – This place serves great interesting noodles. The atmosphere is hip and the drinks are pretty good. Great location - middle of Union Square, and the service is fast although you may have to wait on the weekends.
BEWARE VEGETARIANS!!! – beware vegetarians! republic doesn't offer a single vegetarian option on their menu. their menu is quite deceptive, for they seem to have some vegetarian dishes (the "vegetable soup," for example), where meat isn't mentioned in the description. i wouldn't have known unless i had asked the waitress beforehand.
Fun in Union Square... – Republic is ALWAYS busy from lunch to dinner... but beware because this place is a well-oiled machine. The hostess sat three of us for lunch at a table for four with one other patron who was just paying his bill. It was rudely obvious that they were trying to push him out as soon as possible. The important word was RUDELY! The bus boys simply stopped refilling my water once I was finished with my food. The food is good and the prices are definitely worth the value but EAT AND LEAVE! Good Luck.
quick and decent food – My friends and I picked this as a convenient sitdown place that isn't too expensive. The menu is pretty decently price, and the service is fast and friendly. However, the food, while fresh and nicely prepared, really lacked deeper flavor that's so fundamental in many of the dishes they try to make. In other words, food is fresh but bland. The drinks were pretty good though. I would probably come back in the future for quick drink but nothing substantial.
average food, horrendous service – The food is acceptable, though the noise level when it's crowded is second only to Gonzo in the West Village--don't go there with quiet friends! But the seater had a major attitude problem. I went to the restroom and when I came back and sat down, the seater accused me of having switched seats, and to move because he needed to seat more people. I told him that HE had seated me here. He said I was lying and that I'd switched seats. He kept telling me to move until I started ignoring him. Bad... read more
Pomegrante elixir – Once you get beyond the somewhat moody hostess, service is great! Having one of the tropical mixed drinks while you wait is a big help. I second the last review - I love the pork chops/rice and appetizers, like the salmon!
Don't sit too long... – Republic is geared for NYU students and there's a reason why there are benches - they don't want you to get too comfy... Still, food is good and prices are very reasonable. Love their pork chops on rice and salmon sashimi... Gets noisy and wait could be long during peak times...
