Sunda - Chicago

Been here for dinner once and food was good, but it was noisy. Came back to try brunch and was very shocked at how good it was. Favorite dish pictured was the tempura french toast. Had a fun crispness. The Ube waffles is not crunchy and not too sweet (forthose who might think Ube too sweet), but the chicken was amazing!!

The restaurant is in a prime location for things to do before and after eating. When entering, you?re greeted promptly (expect a wait on dinner services especially on the weekend). The ambience is modern and the place is nicely decorated. We ordered theedamame, steamed bun (egg plant), tofu pad Thai, sweet potato roll. The food is average at best but does come out fairlyquickly. The menu has accommodations for various dietary restrictions. Once seated, the jarring music becomes annoying to talkover. Furthermore, the music is that of a club or disco rather than something more tranquil and soothing. To further add to thedisturbances, there are usually at least one birthday party on any given weekend. I have been to this places on numerousoccasions for years so my experience isn?t a ?one-off?. Overall, given the area, the price is mainly for the location. I wouldrecommend other places before coming here.

Ambience is on point. Service is great. Food is decent, didn't feel fresh. Very loud so wouldn't go there for date night. Though the ambience is contrary. If they would tone down music and get food qulaity up that would be awesome.

Another not my first time here, but first Google Review for this place! 5-stars pre-COVID days and 3.5-stars for this most recent experience for Sunday Brunch around 2pm. Service right off the bat was lacking, unfortunately. We waited around a good15-min before we asked the front door host to have a server stop by our table. The Manager came right away and apologized,noting they were short-staffed and had some call-ins. Not that we wanted to hear that, but our menu selections kind of made upfor it. Pictured here are their Lumpia; Sumo Mary (gigantic **** Mary at $38 dressed with a ton of food which I highlyrecommend as a meal option and order with a side of Garlic Rice; All Silog Plate (they call it Island Breakfast Plate (Longanisa, Tocino, Bacon, Egg, Atchara, Garlic Rice ; Steak and Eggs; and of course their Halo-Halo (they call it SundaeSundae . After coming here many times pre-COVID, I hope this place decides to beef up their service and continues to stickaround.

Vibrant spot in the city for drinks and small plates with Asian-inspired flavors. The restaurant gets fairly dim inside later at night but the ambiance is modern and upscale. Prices are reasonable for location and the smaller plates make it easier to sharedishes among your fellow diners. Menu offered various unique dishes and flavors but the overall taste of the food left more tobe desired. Service was quick and employees were friendly despite a busy night. Great place for a night out but food does notcompare to the top Asian restaurants in the city.
