What People Are Saying
from Google"I came here with three friends and we split all the dishes family style. As someone whose favorite vegetable is brussel sprouts and has had A LOT of them, Sundas are easily in my top 3. The Yuzu tuna, Chicken Pad Thai, Oxtail Pot Stickers, and Adobo Fried Rice Chicken were all also delicious. The Sweet Potato Caterpillar could have been better but it was the worst in a long line of great dishes. The Molten Chocolate Cake was perfect with the fruit helping balance it. Mochi was good but not in a great way. Flavors from favorite to least favorite: passionfruit, mango, coconut, matcha. Also, the waitress was phenomenal - especially with navigating the menu and figuring out what to order."
"We had an outstanding experience at Sunda. A friend and I went to celebrate his birthday and we were both super impressed. The hostess and the wait staff were super friendly and thoughtful. The food tasted heavenly with huge portion sizes. I loved the steamed crispy eggplant bao buns. The ambiance is excellent. It's not super quiet but also allows people to have conversations. Amazing experience overall."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 We stopped by Sunda during happy hour to give it a try, and overall—it was slightly above mediocre. I’d call it a mixed bag, depending on what you order. We went all in and tried nearly everything off the happy hour menu. Let’s start strong: the **Shishito Peppers** were excellent—charred just right, with a smoky kick that kept us reaching for more. The **Adobo Pork Belly Bites** were the undisputed winners: perfectly crispy, glazed in a sweet-savory soy sauce that hit all the right notes. If every dish were that good, this review might’ve had another star. Then came the **Seoul Wings**, which were… not it. The gochujang glaze had promise, but the wings tasted like they’d been deep-fried in pure chicken fat before being dunked in grease again. I managed one bite, then surrendered. The **Lumpia** were fine—crispy, pork-and-shrimp-filled little rolls that did their job but didn’t exactly earn a standing ovation. The **Nori Fries**, though, were tragic. Unseasoned, flavorless, and inexplicably sad. Probably the worst fries I’ve had anywhere. Seaweed shouldn’t make fries taste like disappointment. We also upgraded our hand roll to **Futomaki**—a shrimp tempura roll that was okay but forgettable. For a happy hour special, you’d hope for something that makes you want to come back, not something that says “good enough, I guess.” On the bright side, the drinks were solid. The spritz was fine, but the **Watermelon Margarita** absolutely delivered—fresh, balanced, and refreshing. However, the happy hour menu lists cocktails at $10, yet I was charged $14. Not exactly the kind of “happy” I was expecting. All in all, Sunda isn’t bad—but in a city like Chicago, “not bad” doesn’t really cut it. If they can bring the quality of everything up to the level of their pork belly bites, they’d have something special. Until then, I’d say it’s worth a visit once—but don’t be surprised if you end up Sunda hunting for better bites elsewhere."
"Loved it!!!! Great menu, great atmosphere and excellent service. What blew our mind was the cocktails and the brussel sprouts salad! It’s their best seller and I’m glad our waiter recommended it because I’ll definitely be coming back for it! I know it sounds odd but it’s that good. This restaurant is great for business dinners, large groups and date nights."
"Exceptional experience, top tier fish quality and the music/atmosphere was an amazing vibe. Our server, Jaedon, was super attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back and asking for him specifically. Thanks Jaedon and team, 5/5 stars!"
