Inspired by the diners of the northeast, whose menu had a little bit of everything and was heavily influenced by Greek cuisine—because, let’s face it, the majority were owned by Greek immigrants—the menu’s attractiveness was the diversity in its offerings. From Italian specialties to delicatessen classics, there were no rules or borders regarding types of cuisine, just a variety of options that have left many transplants and generations longing for just a glimpse of what once was.An eclectic revolving menu of home-style specials, comfort food, fun spins on classics with beer and future spirit pairings, and an extensive wine list make The Food Republic a foodie’s paradise where comfort and a feeling of belonging are our mission.Warm wood tones, deep, comfortable benches, and an array of worldly and whimsical art welcome you while our oversized tables encourage sharing and enjoying the moment and the company as much as our menu offerings.We welcome you to The Food Republic.

We had a really nice meal. The staff were very helpful. The music was loud and as a result the guest had to speak a little louder, therefore causing us to not hear us or the waitress at time.

My husband and I were seated outdoors as requested. We split the eggplant side as an appetizer. I had the yellow curry tofu as my entree and my husband selected the yellow curry chicken. All were delicious. We each complemented our meal with a glass of Rose. While a the wines by the glass are a bit pricey, the quality is good and the pours generous (6 oz). Su provided outstanding service throughout our meal. Highly recommended.

Awesome first experience. Had been meaning to dine here and finally got the opportunity. Started with Shishito Peppers (great!) The ramen was excellent which my wife and I shared as well as a crispy chicken curry. Desert was amazing as well (Macha Tiramisu & Japanese Crepe Cake).
