Sunda New Asian sits on Illinois Street in River North, working a modern take on Southeast Asian cooking across a menu that spans sushi and dim sum alongside noodles and rice dishes. The room is built for both quick weeknight dinners and larger groups, with private event and group dining space run out of the same address.
Recurring standouts on the menu include crispy rice, wagyu, pork belly, sea bass, truffle-touched dishes, and a lobster roll that draws raw-bar diners and fusion fans into the same room.
Regulars tend to have strong opinions about which server or table to request, a sign of a menu and room that reward familiarity — though experiences here can vary depending on who's cooking and who's serving that night.
