"Sunda New Asian has been recognized for its pan-Asian cuisine. Sure, you’ll find first-rate sushi and nigiri here. But the menu truly shines when you venture into some of Sunda’s more inventive items, like unagi tempura with seared foie gras and crispy rice topped with wagyu beef and a pesto of sorts. The Midtown eatery is an ideal place for a holiday shopping respite, where you can order a Ketel One cocktail before making it through the rest of the rush. Fuel up for the afternoon with an espresso martini, made with Ketel One vodka, cinnamon, and coffee liqueur." - Matthew Meltzer
"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
"Sunda New Asian in the city’s burgeoning Midtown district."
"In River North, Billy Dec’s Sunda New Asian is now serving lunch for pickup or delivery weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with options such as bento boxes, poke bowls, sushi rolls, lumpia, and steamed buns; the restaurant has also announced plans for a Fulton Market location." - Aimee Levitt
"This Southeast Asian joint in Chinatown was an instant word-of-mouth success when it opened in mid-2018, and it has managed to sustain its initial buzz by tweaking its playful, slightly disorientating, menu. To get an idea of chef Khanh Nguyen's style, start with the wagyu rendang buns, served with pickled radish and fermented sambal—just be careful not to fill up on them. Then, meander through the medium-sized dishes (make sure you try the spanner-crab curry with finger lime and rice crackers, an exceptionally effective Asian/Australian mashup) before gorging on the mains. Nguyen's union of Southeast Asian recipes and Australian native ingredients is inspired, making Sunda the best kind of sharing restaurant: One where you'll actually talk about the food." - Dan F.
