We were locals looking froward to SUNDA, but we were sadly underwhelmed with our experience. Service was great and management was as well! Our let down was in the food & beverage aspect. We had to send a drink back and also one of our plates was overly salty while others needed more seasoning. I would still send people here, the space was amazing and majority of our food was good.

We came to celebrate 2 birthdays including my daughter’s sweet 16. The restaurant is lively, upbeat music playing but not so loud that you can’t hear the people at your table. The food is always tasty here. Our server’s name was Julia. She is a doll! The restaurant was super busy but she made sure she checked on us regularly. And we even got a special birthday dessert!

We are so glad we decided to stop here for our final dinner in Nashville! Everything on the menu sounded incredible, and our server helped us out by going over the top picks on the menu and his own recommendations. Our drinks were wonderful. We started with spicy edamame which was packed with flavor. Then we got the pork belly and fried chicken steamed buns (we got 2 of each kind since the steamed buns come with 4 total). Both were really good, but the fried chicken was incredible! I got a sweet potato poke bowl and my husband got the baked snow crab hand roll. Both were packed with flavor and so refreshing. I wish we could have tried everything on the menu. Wonderful experience! We will be back again!

Food was pretty mediocre overall. Some dishes pretty 1 dimensional. Service was not great. we found a hair in our food and the waitress didn't seem too bothered. they didn't take away the fish until we told them to. then, they still charged us for it until we asked them to remove it from the bill.

The staff was welcoming. Being a Chicago native and having frequented the Sunda Chicago location for many years, it's always nice to visit the Nashville establishment. My husband, grown sons and I always look forward to visiting. The sushi is A+ , the entrees are also delicious and the desserts are a delicacy; the mango coconut rice was the best!

Absolutely amazing staff and food. Matthew, our waiter, was attentive and provided such great knowledge of the menu (food and drink). He recommended the absolute best sushi roll, the panda roll, and the best drink, a pear sake cocktail. Would highly recommend visiting. We went very early for dinner and it was perfect.

The place is beautiful. It was busy early on a Thursday night. The host staff were great. The wait staff were awesome. The portions were larger than expected. The only thing that wasn't in line with the rest of the experience was the way the food looked on the plate and a a couple of things that made it harder to eat. The crispy rice with spicy tuna didn't seem made to order, it seemed a little too chewy, not fresh enough. I thought that the chop chop salad with chicken didn't look great, but it was great! The walnuts in the tempura shrimp plate were all stuck together, making it harder to eat. Everything tasted great. With just a few mins extra in preparation and presentation everything would have been a hit. Our food was served fast. Our waitress was attentive, friendly & professional. I will go again and try other dishes!
