Republic Ramen - Tempe

Before and after my visit, I can confidently say that I'm completely satisfied. The prices are great for the generous portions, and the food is absolutely delicious—I'll definitely be returning! The staff is friendly and attentive. Just a heads up: avoid coming on a Friday night unless you're prepared for a packed house and slow service due to the rush. The line outside the door is a testament to how incredible this place is. My father, who is a chef, is very particular about where he eats. If he's not impressed, he’ll let the chef know, but he will definitely return if he enjoys it. I always have to be careful about which places I recommend to him, but I introduced him to this restaurant, and he absolutely loved it, just as I expected. Once you give it a try, you'll want to come back!

Absolutely the best place! The music was a dream come true for any Kpop fan. The food portions were generous and incredibly fresh (served hot). The Boba milk tea was addictive, and the entire experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly, and everything went smoothly.

The chicken was slightly dry, and the broth had a somewhat mild flavor, but overall it was delicious and definitely worth the price.

I had the tonkatsu with pig and Kirin. My friend had the sharp Republic with pig and Kirin. Overall, over $30 were with taxes and tips for both of us. Portions are big and the taste was great. On Friday after 6:00, bowls came out. The tables were not sticky as some Asian restaurants could be. I didn't get a MSG headache after that. All for a great meal at a good price.

They have vegetarian ramen, which I was very excited to try with the original toppings. The portion sizes are huge. The ramen could have been seasoned better (it was a little salty), but besides that, it was delicious. Also love that there was plenty of parking out front.
