Republic really should get 2 stars, but for the benefit of having had a decent meal here in the past, this Fairy Demigodreviewer (I take after Hermes) is granting the joint a borderline 3. First off,…

This place is solid, but also vaguely disappointing. I don't know. Nothing is ever as good as you wanted it to be. I think what it is is that it's one of those "pan asian" joints. Which, hello.…

The food is pretty good and the portions are reasonably sized, but for less money you could get a meal just as good (if not better) elsewhere. The service is incredible though - the waiters are VERY friendly...
