Sunda New Asian
Nashville, TN · Southeast Asian
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Modern Southeast Asian restaurant (also in Chicago) in The Gulch at 592 12th Ave S, confirmed open with live OpenTable reservations and 5pm dinner hours. Its dinner menu sells an A5 Wagyu Nigiri described as seared aged 'snow beef' ($29), a Signature Crispy Rice - Wagyu ($26) and a Lobster Wagyu with wagyu tataki and foie gras aioli ($39). The A5 grade is stated but the menu names no prefecture, brand, or farm; published without an authenticity badge.
Authenticity flags
- The A5 Wagyu Nigiri is described as seared aged 'snow beef' but the menu names no prefecture, brand, or farm. 'Snow beef' is a style descriptor, not a stated origin; ask about sourcing if verified provenance matters to you.

Common questions
- Does Sunda New Asian serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 27, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Sunda New Asian serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Sunda New Asian listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
