I’ve been to Sunda a number of times but never for lunch. Love the brussels sprouts time and time again. We tried the avocado crispy rice which may be a new favorite (spicy sauce on the side). It was more quiet than I’m used to since it was a Sunday noon but still great service, ambience and food. I will continue to recommend Sunda and come back again!

First time going to Sunda. Had a reservation and then had to wait almost 40 minutes for a table after our reservation time. Management offered us a free appetizer. Waiter was friendly, but wasn’t very helpful when discussing the menu. One of the members of our party asked for napkin because they were missing a setting. The staff member that she asked threw it in front of her instead of handing it to her or placing it in front of her and then walked away while talking loudly to himself. Portions were all large and very shareable (wish we were informed). Food was delicious though.

The sound in this place is ridiculous. If you are looking for a quiet dinner this is not the place. Party of 2 needs to shout at each other. Restaurant, service and food all fine just know what you are dealing with in particular on a Friday night.

Cocktails and flavors were good and the wait staff was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. That said, the food was unusually salty and we ended up having to drink massive amounts of water. Also, the table flatware settings did not include knives, which made it hard to eat the giant pieces of chicken - they could have been presliced as the short ribs were.
