Jaclyn OrtizFebruary 21, 2014A little pricey, but you at least get a lot of bang for your buck. The pancit and sweet potato roll are highly recommended.
Samantha LeeJuly 29, 2016Probably the only restaurant in the area that's open late (until 1am). I wasn't impressed by their curry udon but the maple bourbon Manhattan was very good.
ChristyApril 30, 2011Shaking beef is delicious but the pieces of meat are a little too big to eat with chopsticks. California roll is awesome as well as the pad Thai chicken that my boyfriend got. Definite repeat!
Jai BalagopalApril 14, 2013The Brussels Sprouts salad is remarkable and so are the drinks. If you like your sushi with a kick (spice) try the firecracker
Alejandro Ugalde SandovalApril 25, 2016The waiter was very helpful and the decoration is very fancy. The food was a hole experience. Not a cheap place but a must in Chicago. I'll come back.
Pocket SunSeptember 6, 2014I love the sweet potatoes sushi and their fruity cocktails. The main dishes were good, but the appetizer duck buns were just alright. Good for dates and groups.
Gilt CityJune 1, 2011On our must-order list: lemongrass beef lollipops with spicy chili glaze and kobe beef sashimi with truffled vinaigrette. (And keep an eye out for celebs like Jeremy Piven, a fan.)
Some great Sake flights and one of the best epic Bloody Mary's in the city! Oh and the sushi's pretty good too :)
Lindsay LeBlancApril 7, 2013Rock shrimp tempura, an orgasm in your mouth. Great restaurant, worth dealing with the noise, great atmosphere, helpful waiters.
Crispy cauliflower, shishito peppers, fried chicken, black cod, and garlic rice is the best. Be sure to order my fav Hitachino Japanese rice beer to compliment.
Kenneth IlioOctober 8, 2010The noodles - lomi and pancit canton are terrific. The canton especially has an authentic taste but have a twist with the crisp pork belly on top. The crispy pata is one of the best in Chicago.
Michael GillJuly 21, 2017Very great service and the food was fantastic! Would recommend Sunda for any occasion.
Andrea LNovember 8, 2014Delicious, unique sushi. Hoppin place to be, good people watching and great service
Shelli ShellsSeptember 1, 2014Stuffing on some Dim Sum, Steamed Duck buns abd OxtailDumplings. Yum Yumm
Jenifer MaxwelJuly 22, 2013Definitely get the wagyu served on a bed of crispy rice. If you're a meat eater this is the way to go.
Jared ReynoldsJuly 21, 2017Steamed pork buns, Sushi, Brussel sprout salad and everything else ive tried.
Mahendra YahyaMarch 30, 2017Try the Sunda Bento Box Panang Chicken - Nice, serve with miso and sushi (via @Foodspotting)
David HillJanuary 3, 2016Everything here is great! Can't go wrong with the beef lollipops or crisp rice.
Mark KrugmanFebruary 21, 2012This was the best sushi I have ever had. Make sure you try the Sweet Potato Caterpillar, Oh No You Didn't, and the Baked Snow Crab
Natalie VApril 23, 2017The crispy fried rice rolls are good and the peared sake cocktail is amazing!
Manolo Gonzalez MirandaJuly 6, 2018Duck fried rice is delicious as well as the miso soup with Chicken 😉😉
Joseph MJune 14, 2013The lunch discount special applies to the whole table if you ask. 20% off a party of five is nice. The food is great.
The sticky buns...you have to do. So different than any bun you would have or think to have.- Lindsay YoungApril 24, 2012Get any of the specialty ones excellent. Especially the Angry Dragon & the one with Bacon. All rolls excellent
Ben PerezJanuary 14, 2016In terms of value for price, the sushi rolls were hit or miss, but the garlic noodles with blue crab were spot on.
TheOutOfTownerDecember 23, 2019Aims to be a fancy dining experience, while the prices lead you to believe it is, the food + service prove otherwise. Food was Americanised, not authentic. Pork fried rice & chicken bao were good.
Kate LeeNovember 14, 2011Sea bass, shrimp toban, and crab lo mein are some of their best dishes. The coconut pudding is a good choice for dessert. Not impressed with their adobo or duck though.
Dale SchotteDecember 27, 2015It's an amazing place. Great food, great ambience, and amazing service.
Lindsey MossMay 12, 2014Brussel sprout salad, shrimp tempura and the peared sake cocktail are all musts!
Ricky PottsJanuary 7, 2011Make sure to ask your server about the private dining room options at Sunda. They have many different rooms to choose from depending on your dining expectations. Learn more on rickyleepotts.com. Read more

Peter SenaOctober 24, 2013Try the caterpillar roll and wagyu carpaccio unreal and out of this world.- Mahendra YahyaMarch 30, 2017Try the Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Its like eating bawang goreng sebakul (via @Foodspotting)
XinnieFebruary 23, 2018So loud that everyone is practically yelling on top of each other. Manchurian cauliflower was my favorite. Pancit noodle is way too oily. Cocktails are good. But I won’t be back most likely.
Mark GoldenFebruary 17, 2015Crab Noodles were outstanding. Very good, fast service. Ouwaitwaswas very
Friendly service, creative menu yet still reminiscent of traditional dishes
Michael McCarthyOctober 27, 2010this snot nosed ny'er with impeccable sushi taste...loves Sunda...hamachi is killer cut and super fresh...amazing for lunch and dinner. get a reservation early
Jennifer LopezAugust 17, 2014The "Ridiculous" dessert was so ridiculously yummy that my hubby and I did not say a word from the first bite to the last ha !
Carlos ButlerFebruary 10, 2017We let our server bring out the best dishes and every one of them was great
Laura SteigerSeptember 6, 2012Don't miss the kale fritters or steam buns during happy hour. Highlights of our dinner.
Colin CJuly 6, 2010Ask for James at the bar. My faves here are the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the golden child roll. After dinner, head one block over to EPIC on Hubbard for cocktails.
