Creative Asian fusion with standout sushi, bao buns, and cocktails
"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

"Dec’s River North restaurant Sunda expanded beyond Chicago—he opened a Nashville location in 2018 and a Sunda in Tampa, and I noted he opened a fourth outpost in February inside a new Fulton Market—leaving the two Sundas as the remaining Chicago pieces of his once-thriving empire." - 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
