Job Description

Sunda New Asian is an award-winning restaurant concept located in Detroit that specializes in modern Southeast Asian cuisine, culture, and experiences. This innovative dining establishment blends elevated cooking techniques with diverse flavors found throughout Asia, creating a cross-cultural New Asian menu that offers guests a wide variety of culinary options.

Sunda is also proud to offer an impressive lineup of specialty cocktails, signature sakes, and a curated collection of popular wines, all designed to perfectly complement their unique cuisine.

Drawing inspiration from a lifetime of culinary and cultural immersion throughout Southeast Asia, the owners developed the Sunda concept to celebrate the fusion of the many different cultures found on the Sunda Shelf, a historic landmass now submerged under shallow seas. The restaurant takes pride in modernizing culturally important dishes by upgrading ingredients, cooking techniques, and presentation to deliver a tasting experience that is innovative yet respects the deep-rooted spirit of the originals. Its dedication to quality and authenticity has earned Sunda numerous accolades, including recognition as "Best Asian Cuisine" by USA TODAY, "Best Restaurants" by CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER, and "Restaurant Import of the Year" from the EATER AWARDS.
