"WHEN: Monday-Friday, 4-6pm and Saturday-Sunday, 3-4pm THE DEAL: $6 bar bites, $6 handrolls, $9 cocktails, $6 draft beer, $9 wine, $6 draft beer It’s Friday afternoon, and you and your friends are in the Gulch for some retail therapy. You know what goes great with those new Lucchese boots? Shrimp tempura handrolls. And you know what goes great with those handrolls? Blood orange palomas. Accomplish all of that and more at Sunda, which is located on the first floor of the Icon, and grab a table by the bar. By the time you’re finished, rush hour traffic should be, too." - adam sloan
"The menu at this sleek Gulch restaurant — a pan-Asian export out of Chicago from celebrity Billy Dec — covers a lot of ground, from Korean to Thai to Filipino to Japanese. Sunda’s straightforward nigiri and sashimi options include unagi and uni, while rolls overflow with the likes of spicy tuna, escolar, and fried shallots (Tail of Two Tunas) and a decadent mix of lobster, wagyu tataki, and foie gras aioli (Lobster Wagyu). You can order sushi at brunch, too, alongside a towering take on a Bloody Mary topped with, among other things, a baked snow crab hand roll." - Kellie Walton
"Sunda is a restaurant brand with locations in River North, Chicago; Nashville, Tennessee; and Tampa, Florida. Billy Dec opened the Nashville location in 2018 and recently opened the fourth outpost in Fulton Market, Chicago." - Ashok Selvam
"Billy Dec’s pan-Asian Sunda, a chic Chicago import in the Gulch, offers a refreshing outside-the-box brunch option, moving beyond Music City’s usual hot chicken biscuit suspects. Try Filipino-inspired silog breakfast plates, ube waffles, creative sushi rolls, and an utterly absurd splurge cocktail: the massive 32-ounce Sumo Mary topped with tocino grilled cheese, a pork belly bao bun, a baked snow crab hand roll, lumpia egg rolls, and more." - Kellie Walton
"A Chicago import, Sunda has gained a reputation locally for its swanky interiors and the menu’s Southeast Asia influence. Two standouts on the long list of hot and cold dishes are the crispy rice topped with wagyu and the tuna roll stuffed with yellowfin tuna, escolar, fried shallots, and spicy mayo. The weekend brunch features traditional Filipino dishes like lumpia and longanisa alongside a towering 32-ounce Bloody Mary topped with a bao bun, handroll, and grilled cheese." - Eater Staff
