Stunning ambience, energetic vibe, creative cocktails (cheers to you, Rowan!), and very friendly service (thank you, Connor!). Most importantly, the food was beyond fantastic! The 4 of us loved loved loved the beautiful sashimi platter assortment, sushi hand rolls, hamachi styled tuna garnished with green peppers, and steamed pork buns for appetizers. Our entrees were unanimous hits, with melt-in-your-mouth pork belly with a yummy coconut sauce, perfectly prepared grilled veggies in a nice lightly spicy sauce, and a couple of stand-out sushi rolls (rainbow roll and tuna & mango roll). Each plate was perfect for sharing so everyone could savor the wide variety in Sunda’s amazing menu! We topped off our dinner with a heavenly bowl of halo-halo. A perfect dining experience from beginning to end! A huge Thank You to the entire cooking staff of Sunda - Fulton Market for their incredible culinary skills. We will be back!
