Sunda
What is it? Hospitality veteran Billy Dec’s (The Underground) Pan-Asian stalwart with locations in River North and the West Loop.
Why we love it: Sunda knows how to pull out all the stops to impress. You can never go wrong with the signature crispy rice—topped with either Wagyu or spicy tuna—but if you’re craving some rolls, there are terrific choices, too.
Time Out tip: Want to spice things up? Order The Gambler, which features spicy tuna, kani, cucumber, scallions, kampyo and avocado, plus ghost pepper sambal in a random single piece for those who like to be daring.
