 | New York City Republic Reviews | 1 - 10 of 12 |  |
I love Republic for its central location right on Union Square West, easily accessible by the 4/5/6 N/R/W/L, and its modern-edged, minimalist decor. You're seated at long tables, so you're sharing tables with strangers. You put your bags and wraps in little baskets under the table. It's a very different dining experience, but I love it. The food is freshly prepared and is always delicious. If you're hungry for Thai but want something a little different, definitely go to Republic.
Also available is outdoor seating, bar scene, dine-at-the-bar, good fo groups, kid-friendly, lunch, delivery, singles scene, take-out, alcohol and full bar.
the Pad Thai, the coconut chicken, all of their noodles and the fried wontons with pimiento-plum sauce is amazing! One of their specials is the salmon-sashimi salad, which I have not yet tried, but have photographed, so I can at least say it *looks* amazing! haha Leave a Comment Theme: Pan-Asian and Pacific RimPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 37 Union Sq West, between 16th and 17thPhone: 212-627-7168Directions: Union Square West, down the street from the Coffee Shop and next to the Heartland Brewery and Blue Water Grill

 Republic by Dabs
The service was very quick and the meal inexpensive, entrees run from $6-$9 and are filling.
Only negative-I was a little surprised when they charged me for 2 diet Cokes at $2 a piece, most restaurants in the US don't do that.
The menu is Asian with Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Malaysian and Japanese influences.
I tried the spicy coconut chicken noodles and broth, it was a little too spicy for a full meal and I found it a little hard to eat full noodles in broth but it had a good flavor and there were plenty of other dishes that looked and smelled quite good as they were passing.

My colleagues and I frequent this place because it's easy to get to and affordable. Also the food is served very fast and it is delicious. I have to admit that I always get the same dish as I am such a fan of the Spicy Coconut Chicken. If you like spicy food (it's not that spicy) and coconut, you'll love, love, love this dish! Republic gets packed fast and you'll occasionally find yourself waiting for a seat. The turn-around with tables is pretty fast so you'll never wait more than 30 minutes. Definitely worth trying! Especially for the low price!
Spicy Coconut Chicken is phenomenal! Leave a Comment

An average meal, nothing special from this japanese/vietnamise ecc. fusion. Very noisy because it's huge and very popular. Good drinks. Fair service, Fair price.

Republic has a great, lively atmosphere - you share tables. The menu is not huge, but everything is very fresh and tasty.

Republic’s a pretty trendy noodle spot right on Union Square: the tone is set by the bar just inside the door, whipping up some unusual cocktails. Inside, it’s a little noisy, but the service is consistently friendly and the food is excellent. Despite being on the fashionable side, they often serve up unusual versions of relatively familiar dishes, so it will suit those that like a little bit of adventure with their dinners, without being quite as ‘exotic’ as a meal in Chinatown. While you may be seated on your own if it’s quiet, the tables are normally communal, so you’ll be rubbing elbows, and sometimes conversations, with your neighbors. The biggest surprise of all is the bill: they might be trendy, but they don’t add on a ‘cool’ tax like some places!
The steaming bowls of noodles are great winter-warmers; we tried some with spicy chicken. The yaki soba was excellent too, with all kinds of minced mint.

This is a great place to stop and eat when you crave for a steaming bowl of noodles and for a taste of home especially on a cold winter day. When I stepped into Republic Noodles, it reminded me of Nudle Bar (or something like that) in Bangkok, Singapore and in Kuala Lumpur. The menu was pretty similar, I wonder if it is from the same owners back in Asia?
Ambience wise is very functional and minimalist. I love the tables with bins underneath where you can store your bags and jackets. Very useful especially during winter where I always have a problem putting away my thick overcoat. In fact the photos of people having noodles are similar to the ones in the abovementioned restaurants back home.
Service is quick and efficient. It's definitely not a space to chill out as I get the feeling that the staff are trying to rush you and chase you out!
Food wise - quite decent for Asian food in New York but nothing to shout about. It's all about noodles cooked in every way possible. Unfortunately, it's not as flavourful as what I'm used to. Somehow it's toned down I guess to suit the American tastebuds. I wish they have real chillies that we have in Malaysia which would have spiced up by duck soupy noodles. As you can tell, I was homesick for some really hot spice and chillies!
Prices here though are very reasonable by NY standards. It fits my budget very well especially after paying US$4 for a hot dog from a hot dog stand, I can get some decent appetisers for the same amount and a bowl of noodles when I add a few more dollars!
