TV personality and restaurateur Billy Def has announced that Sunda New Asian’s newest location will open the Fall of 2025 in The District Detroit at 33 W. Columbia Street. Founded in 2009, Sunda is an award-winning restaurant showcasing modern new Asian cuisine from Japan, China and other southeast Asian countries, elevating it with upgraded ingredients, cooking techniques and presentation. The menu offers creative dishes that reimagine the time-honored Asian classics from sushi and dim sum to flavorful noodles and rice dishes. “Beyond the incredible amount of Michigan support we have felt in our original Sunda home in Chicago over the last 15 years, we are in awe of the explosive pride, investment, energy and growth all happening in Detroit fast and furious, especially The District Detroit’s Columbia Street location where we are proud to call our new home. Just as we identified Nashville as a growing market to explode 10 years ago and Tampa four years ago, we are confident Detroit is about to go on an outstanding growth run the world won’t see coming and Sunda wants to contribute and be part of it all,” said Billy Dec, CEO/Founder, Sunda New Asian. “The restaurant scene in Detroit has experienced exponential growth over the last few years. The talent and diversity of food and drink experiences is exceptional. The ever trend setting Mr. Dec saw the opportunity in The District Detroit and chose Columbia Street for his first Detroit restaurant” said Keith Bradford, President of Olympia Development of Michigan and The District Detroit. 33 W.
