Sunae Asian Cantina

Top choice in Palermo


After honing her skills at her popular closed-door restaurant, chef Christina Sunae opened this colorful Asian-inspired eatery in Palermo Hollywood. The menu spans Southeast Asia, featuring Malaysian rendang (meat curry), Filipino pork buns, Vietnamese dishes, tangy Thai salads and fiery curries from the Chiang Mai region. Great vegetarian options and wine list, too.
