If you're in the mood for noodles or Asian-inspired dishes and you happen to be in the Union Square area, then you might want to eat at Republic. This contemporary restaurant offers noodles as its main dish (obvious in the website and signage), however there were more non-noodle options on the menu. Tables were reminiscent of park benches and arranged like a school cafeteria...wooden benches at picnic style tables with cubbies underneath the table for our coats and purses. Parties of two were seated with other strangers, so groups of 4 are optimal.
Here are some pictures of the food we ate for dinner: seafood dumplings, chicken with noodles in coconut broth and calamari. The seafood dumpling were alright, nothing special. The sauce had a nice wasabi (spicy) flavor. Jander was not too impressed with the coconut broth in his noodle soup. And we both agreed that the calamari was over-fried. But the chili dipping sauce was tasty. Overall, we would probably eat here again but there are plenty of alternatives in the area to go first.

Next time try their coconut shrimp appetizer. It's pretty good.
