I was lucky to wind up here for lunch today with some friends. We all had a great time. The food was delicious. Rice Republic has a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Tables seemed to be turned over quickly. This place seemed to have short waits to get a table. The staff were great, the girls were very pretty, especially the one with the braces. We all had to try a few things from the dim sum cart before we ordered. I got the shrimp fried rice with egg & veggies. It came out crisp and full of flavor. A photo of my meal should be attached.
