This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot.

Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

I have ordered from this restaurant twice. My first experience was great, which is why I decided to order from them again. Unfortunately, my second experience was completely different. Last Saturday June 20,2026, For lunch I ordered takeout that included salmon, crab salad, scallops, sushi rice, and other toppings. Prior to eating this meal, I had not eaten anything else that day. After eating it, I became extremely sick with nausea, diarrhea, and a fever. My symptoms were severe enough that I had to seek medical care at urgent care, and I have been dealing with the effects for several days. Because this was the only food I had eaten before becoming ill, I strongly believe my illness was caused by this meal. I am very disappointed, especially since my first experience was positive. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and reviews its food safety and handling practices to help prevent similar experiences for other customers.

We got 2 custom poke bowls. I ordered mine with shoyu sauce. When I got home, I seen that there was no sauce. Shoyu sauce is dark and my meat is white. Paid 18 dollars for a bland poke bowl.

Ordering online was easy and convenient. I got the vegetarian option with tofu and chicken, but the “grilled chicken” didn’t look appealing — it seemed undercooked. The ingredients felt low quality; I wasn’t expecting canned pineapple and mango. While the Hawaiian sauce was tasty, it all felt pricey for what you get. Overall, the meal didn’t meet expectations, and I wouldn’t go back.

We decided to try out this establishment which is part of a sister Japanese restaurant called Kashin. The atmosphere and service were wonderful. Our server was so kind and attentive to our needs we greatly appreciated her quality of service. We got an appetizer with 2 large separate poke bowls. The food was so good I finished it within 5 minutes. Portions were generous and we had room for their house dessert which complimented our meals so well. We will surely return again as we had such a great dining service and also try out more of their menu items from both Kashin and Poke Republic. A must try!

An amazing addition to Kashin! I was surprised by these delicious poke bowls options! The fish quantity is perfectas always, the presentation, colors and flavors are a master piece , they are fresh and delicious, can’t wait for it to open dine in but they have managed to deliver and take out with our loosing quality, flavor or freshness. The rainbow poke was my favorite and I’ll come back to try more.
