    Lobster Lumpia
    Linda I.

    Beautiful restaurant with an atmospheric dining space, large bar, and sushi bar. Walked in without a reservation on a Friday evening, and was able to snag a couple of seats at the sushi bar, which does have full menu service. Huge menu! Definitely pretty pan-Asian fusion, with what seems like a touch of extra influence from Filipino and Japanese fare. I really liked that they had some specials for AAPI heritage month too. I loved the Meiji Margarita, with passionfruit, and had two. The food was all beautifully presented, but kind of mixed in how much I liked it! The standout bites were: - Escolar "The Great White" which was two escolar nigiri with truffle vinaigrette, potato chip, and black truffle shavings. Absolutely delicious 10/10. - Massaman Scallops which came in a shallow bowl of curry and corn, okra, squash veggies. The other dishes I tried were also all good! Just less amazing, and for the prices I was hoping for more amazing. - Miso Cauliflower. The miso in this actually wasn't too forward. - Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. The rice base wasn't actually crispy and I think this could've used just a touch more seasoning. - Lobster Lumpia. This was one of the specials! Good and can actually taste the lobster which was nice. But still fairly close to regular spring rolls which are a lot less expensive. - Midori Roll. Beautiful and unique! The mix of ingredients ended up kind of de-emphasizing the hamachi a touch. Conveniently located next to (in between) the Fox and the Fillmore! Could be a fun option for dinner or drinks before a show. Make sure to mention to your server if there's a time you are needing to wrap up dinner by! To help with pacing, if needed.

    We fined her before a show at the Fox Theater and it did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and got great service from the bartenders. We started with cocktails. The grass Tiger was well balanced and a nice presentation. The bartenders suggest we try the miso cauliflower and it was a knockout dish. We love that it was not breaded and cooked perfectly. We also had the roti beef tacos which were also fantastic. When we come back, we'll probably order the exact same things!

    I found this place. I was heading to the Tigers game. We decided to sit in and get a quick drink and a snack and I was not disappointed. On this Tuesday afternoon, it was relatively busy. My drink was mixed just right and the presentation was on point. I did have the miso soup, which was a little cool to my liking, but OK. I prefer hot soup, but that's a personal preference. I tried the sushi after going through the whole menu trying to decide-- the Gamble sushi. The presentation was so cute with a casino chip to be used on my next visit. The gamble sushi was interesting as there was one hot piece of sushi out of the bunch. I would say that it is spicy, but it was just right you hit the spot. I look forward to coming back and trying some additional dishes. I like the modern feel it's a perfect location whether it's a date night, girls' night out, or even a solo adventure.

    We just finished eating at Sunda Detroit for the first time. I tried to make a reservation but none were available for Sat night. With that said, the hostess told me they take many walk ins and they hope to see me tonight so we decided to wing it! The place was pretty packed and there was a Red Wings game so parking wasn't easy. We found a spot and got to the restaurant around 8:30pm. After a bit of a wait, we were sat at the sushi bar, which was not my preference. We were seated at the same time as another couple and shared the same server. They space out the courses nicely which I appreciated since we didn't have too much space. The crab hand roll was really good. It came in two half cone pieces. We then got the brussel sprout salad, which is the one thing I remember loving from their Chicago location. If you like brussel sprouts, get this. It does not disappoint. After that, we got the shrimp tempura app, which was pretty good and you got a good amount of shrimp. I definitely expected like 4 shrimp so it was a nice surprise. For the entrees, we split the chicken pad Thai and the Szechuan chicken. The chicken pad thai may have been one of the best pad Thais I've ever had. The Szechuan chicken is the one dish I would sadly never get again. It tasted like black licorice and it was SOO spicy. Tons of hot peppers and onions in this dish. It was a huge portion and I wish I liked it but I honestly took one bite and that's it. The waiter asked how everything was. I said, "everything was great but this one entree." He didn't seem to care as he offered only to box everything up. Oh well. We do have a lot of leftovers for tomorrow so overall, I'm happy to have Sunda in Detroit. Also, there was a lot of hostesses at the stand and they are helping a lot of people at once. They try to push people to find their own seats at the cocktail bar and try to save tables for reservations. I really appreciate the one hostess who got us seated. We were kind of passed around when we first got there.

    Tacos

    Located in the middle of the pedestrian portion of W Columbia St. next to Fox Theatre with the bar area open to walk up to from the street definitely keeps bartenders busy. The restaurant is broken up into smaller rooms/sections with photographable :) decor. Good drinks menu, I was happy to find my favorite lychee martinis! (Though not cheap ). Food was good. Pad Thai has a great flavor and a good size portion. Tacos were outstanding! Definitely shareable size as well. We set/ate at the bar so we had to flag down a bartender for service, but once we did - everyone was friendly and helpful with menu suggestions.

    Came in for a late dinner on a Tuesday night, I made a reservation but the restaurant did not appear to be too busy this evening. Valet parking is available for $20 and if you get a sticker inside you get 50% off! We were sat immediately, I opted for standard seating and I am happy I did because it was very hot today and the patio would've been a sauna. The sushi bar seating is very tiny but nice if you're coming for a quick bite. Our server was knowledgeable and let us know most items are shareable, and he was right! Everything was huge we ordered the fried chicken bao buns 10/10 very big and flavorful. Adobo rice with chicken 10/10, California rolls 10/10 they made these upon request as they are not on the menu. And some baked crab hand rolls, I did not take a picture because I devoured them 10/10. I ordered the strawberry fields cocktail 10/10 was so good I had another. I will definitely return to try some other things, I seen some sorbets go out that looked great!

    Our spread. Highly suggest trying a few items and sharing

    So I'm in love with the Chicago Sunda and was thrilled to see one open in Detroit so I had to go! Totally recommend! The place is chic and sexy and sure to be a great date night or girls night. Food was bomb!! So good! The Brussel sprouts starter was delicious and so plentiful!! I was a teas disappointed in the spicy edamame. Way too salty and buttery. Something was off with it and I usually like it. The wagyu crispy rice!! Absolutely yum! Delicious and highly recommend! Dessert was a fried ice cream/carrot cake concoction and I loved it! Yum! Slightly disappointed in the drinks they were very sweet. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly but we felt rushed. The place was not full tonight (still soft opening, grand opening is 3/11 I think) so there was no reason to rush. All in all, great experience! I'll definitely be back and glad to have this dining experience in Detroit!

    Island maki roll
    Maranda L.

    The decor is very fitting and cute although the lighting was way too low. Our server told us each dish is meant to be shared so we ordered a lot. Because they are sharables we were told that each item was going to come out individually as it gets made and not all at once, which was perfectly fine. For drinks we got a lychee simoy cocktail and the espresso martini flight. The lychee was very refreshing but the espresso martini flavors all blended together. The only distinguishing taste from the martinis was the chilli. The miso cauliflower was good but nothing special. We really liked the tuna truffle pizza, island Maki roll, spicy tail of two tunas, and the bulgogi tacos. The truffle pizza was the best out of all of them. The beef lollipops were basically thin kebabs molded around a vegetable root and were very dry. You needed to drown it in the glaze it came with to eat it. The sechuan chicken was very dry as well and just did not do well compared to everything else we ordered. It also was a lot of food in that single dish whereas the others had a good portioning between us. The crispy rice tuna wasnt bad but it wasn't really impressive. Just plain. The Sunda Sundae was also kind of dissapointing. It was beautiful in it's plating but too much going on as well as a very odd smell coming from it that made it hard to eat. The description made it seem like there was shaved ice AND ice cream in it but it was entirely shaved ice. We thought it would have been better as an ice cream. Another server walking by saw us struggling to eat the sundae out of the small bowl it was sitting in and poured it into a larger bowl for us that he said our original server should have done for us. Overall, it was a fun experience but was kinda disappointed with the menu.

    Brussel Sprouts
    Torrie M.

    Sunda is a new fave!! Everything we ordered was delicious!! From the moment we walked in, it was like we were transported to a new place. The ambiance and atmosphere were very inviting. We started with the espresso martini trio that featured classic, Ube, and spicy martinis. Next we had a round of appetizers, ranging from dumplings to outstanding Brussel sprouts. Our main entrees were the ribeye and lobster sushi rolls!! The flavors melted in our mouths! We rounded it off with the Sunda Sundae, which definitely gave us Hawaiian vibes with its shaved ice. All in all it was fantastic and I can't wait to go back! I hope we get the same waiter too because his service was outstanding.

    Sashimi roll with truffle on top and truffle oil.  Single bite deliciousness!
    Jodie R.

    Really deserves a 4.5. Food was delicious. The crispy pasta was the best I've ever had. The sushi was fresh and the rolls were creative. The fried rice was good, but I wouldn't order it again (it may be because everything else was just SO amazing that it paled). The service at the bar could not have been more perfect and they worked as a well-oiled team, despite the newness of the restaurant. My biggest and really only complaint was the music. Trying to be trendy and hip, the music was so loud that it was hard to hear each other--even sitting side-by-side at the bar and leaning in. If they'd turn it down, I'd be a regular here!

    Beautiful spot very close to Comerica park. I loved the butterflies above the bar. The menu was extensive and it was hard to choose. We are ate at the bar and I was impressed with how knowledgeable the bartender was, he gave us some good suggestions. I liked the sushi roll, miso soup, pad Thai and the steak tacos. My old fashioned made with Foresters hit the spot as well.

    The restaurant is absolutely stunning... you can tell so much detail went into the space and every room has its own vibe which is very cool. I love that everything came out as soon as it was done, it was great for sharing and super fresh. We started with the Ube Espresso Martini, which was a 10/10. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was good although the rice could have been a bit crispier, but the tuna itself was great. The panda roll was delicious! I was not a huge fan of the lumpia. Service was incredible, everyone who walked past our table made sure to check how we were doing and if we needed anything.

    Rib tacoes
    Irina G.

    I recently was dining at a newly opened fusion restaurant in downtown Detroit, and overall, it was a good experience. We sat at the bar, people watching and the atmosphere had a good vibe, with cute décor. The waitstaff was attentive at first, making each dish feel like a prized event, though, after we were served, the attention drifted a bit, which they could improve. Now, the food was a highlight--we tried a range from sushi to tacos to pad Thai, but the standout was definitely the rib tacos--they were out of this world. The prices are a bit on the high side--$20+ per drink--so be prepared for a splurge. Still, the creative dishes, vibrant atmosphere, and memorable flavors make it a place worth checking out--just keep your wallet ready!

This consists of pancit bihon (traditional noodle dish), chicken inasal (yes!! boneless thigh), pork bbq on a stick, rice, cucumber slices, dipping sauce and choice of drink. Fresh, hot and generous enough for me to make two meals out of it. Very clean restaurant with a nice vibe. Gentleman working the counter is personable and so welcoming. Other than fresh hot entrees you will see packaged baked goods , condiments and a few assorted gift items for sale. The food? Ahhhmaaazing. Tastes like it should and looks like it should. I know why. Lola came out with the home cooked entrees, placing the pancit and other select choices in the heated serving pans. Who is Lola you ask? Well, that is the term for Grandma in the Filipino dialect of Tagalog. Someone's Lola was back there doing what she knows from memory, traditions and simply cooking with love and joy to please whoever she is sharing her food with. Yes there were other talented hands working alongside Lola but she is the key to making the food as it should be. I have already raved to my family and friends about trying Yma Ymas. Definitely give them a try, you will NOT be disappointed. You're missing out if you don't. I am going to return and continue supporting this deserving small business. I feel my Filipino pride well represented in this establishments cuisine. This is the REAL. Maraming salamat Ymas Ymas for doing it RIGHT! I hope you are able to do more special themed late afternoon/evening events that hilite Metro Detroit Filipinos talent of ALL ages and not just vocal performers (though I would love to see and hear teen and younger vocalists). Think about those local Pinoys who are crafters, artists, poets, writers, apparel designers , stylists, hairdressers, makeup/hair artists, jewelers, etc. I would support seeing them at the same time supporting Yma Ymas and more importantly supporting our local Pinoy people.
