    The nightclub music was really loud. I couldn’t hear my date and everyone was talking really loud because of the music to compensate. Music in a restaurant is supposed to be background noise only. Unless this changes, I won’t be going back no matter how much I liked the food.

    Food quality has gone down big time. The food lacked flavor and was not even warm. The restaurant was at 10% capacity for brunch. Will not return as a customer. Disappointed as I used to love the food and ambiance at Sunda!

    Very very loud and felt very impersonal. Lots of different people coming and going serving us food. The only nice person was the host who sat us. Food was mediocre and bland Other than the oxtail dumpling and some of the sushi dishes.

    My sister and I decided to check out Sunda while we were visiting Chicago. Food and drinks were great (I recommend the oxtail potstickers, they will BLOW your mind) and our server, Mack, was awesome! It's definitely not a quiet place, the music is loud and there are a lot of bachelorette parties, so I'd recommend Sunda if you want an adventurous night out on the town, but not if you're looking for a chill, conversational dinner. I enjoyed the experience and would go again!

    Just went to Sunda New Asian -- their crispy rice with Kobe beef is the best! Their pad thai, black cod, rock shrimp and tail of two tunas sushi -- also incredible. The interior is beautiful, making the whole dining experience feel fun. Also love their cocktail menu. I recommend the peared Saki. Will be back for sure!

    The food as always was fantastic.  But the noise level was off the charts.  Conversation was impossible without yelling.  I feel like they have squeezed more tables in.  Hence the 3 star rating. Tables near the front seem to be a bit better noise wise than the back.   Food however remains excellent. Favorites this visit: Edamame, Brussel sprouts, Lumpia, crispy rice spicy tuna, red dragon.  The Pad Thai was just OK.  Friends liked the Hainanese salmon.  Mochi and Sunda Sundae put us over the top.

    This is a great restaurant with wonderful, efficient staff, and fantastic food and drinks. The restaurant itself is lovely. The only problem is when you go during peak hours, the din is unbelievable. It's very loud and difficult to hold an intimate conversation at times. Also the booth/couch seating needs to be redone as it's in noticeably worn shape. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, but be aware of the noise and go on off times if looking for somewhere more quiet.
