In brief: Even though it's far from our ideal asian lunch spot, it's nice to be able to add Republic on our rotation list, especially in this ethnic eats starved neighborhood.

Republic's strongest trait may be its consistency. You get the exact food every time no matter how many times you go. That is more than you can say about a lot of places. I got one of my go to dishes the glass noodles plate. It's a little on the bland side, but simple and nice when I'm not in the mood for anything in particular.
