text: I was quite skeptical of Republic Ramen at firstnot because of how it looked smelled or what I had heard but because why would there be a restaurant charging dollars for what I can make for centsnnMan was I wrong My friends invited me and when I showed up I was happily surprised by the very clean restaurant Couples sat in the back eating and drinking sake The lady at the counter was very friendly and when I asked for an explanation of the menu she was very helpful nnThe menu works something like this pick your broth they have or then pick the meat The vegetables are standard but they do have some extras including kimchinnAnd the kimchi was amazing the perfect amount of spice And it tasted great when put into the ramen nnThe goyza and tempura were amazing and after finishing them I only wanted more I got their standard ramen with chicken and while the chicken was a tad dry overcooked the taste of the broth and the freshness of the vegetables more then made up for itnnThough I have only been once I plan on going again to try some of their other broths
