Gosh! Is it lunchtime already?

Yes, I'm so hungry that I'm going to lunch.

自然な表現

Yes, I'm so hungry that I'm going to lunch.  

1. Your expression is fine. Alternatively, you can say, "Yes, I'm so famished that I'm heading to lunch now." You can also use "starving."
That sounds great! I'm hungry too. Where do you suggest we go for lunch today? Is there anything you want to eat?

Today, I have time and I would like to eat out. However, I usually have a lunch at a dining room, so I don't know a nice restaurant. Will you bring me to your recommended place?

自然な表現

I have time today and I would like to eat out. However, I usually have lunch in the office dining area, so I don't know of a nice restaurant. Could you take me to the place you recommend?  

1. Move the adverb "today" close to the word it modifies. It sounds more natural this way.
2. The phrase "have lunch" does not need the article "a" because "lunch" is an uncountable noun.
3. "In" means within an enclosed area.
4. Use "the" when something is being specified.
5. I believe you are referring to the dining area in your office.
6. "Of" means about or relating to.
7. I rephrased it so that it sounds more natural.
I know of a newly opened restaurant down the road. I heard it offers delicious meals at affordable prices. Let's try it.

That sounds pretty! I would like to go there. What type of food does the restaurant offer?

自然な表現

That sounds great! I would like to go there. What type of food does the restaurant offer? 

1. The expression "That sounds great" is typically used to indicate that something sounds excellent, enjoyable, or favorable.
I have heard it serves Italian pizzas as well as local dishes such as sushi, fish, curry, etc. It also offers a selection of beverages. We'll see when we get there.

Oh, a menu has such a wide range of food! I'm looking forward to the restaurant. How long does it take from here?

自然な表現

Oh, they have such a wide variety of food on their menu! I'm excited about going to the restaurant. How long does it take from here? 

1. I rephrased it so that it sounds more natural.
2. It's more natural to use this expression.
I'm glad you're excited about the menu! It takes about 10 minutes to get there from here. Are you ready to go now? Shall we go?

That sounds nice. It is a good exercise! I'm ready. Let's go!

自然な表現

That's nice to hear. Walking is good exercise! I'm ready. Let's go! 

1. A more appropriate expression is "That's nice to hear." It is used when you are genuinely pleased or relieved by the information or news that has been shared. "That sounds nice" is more about expressing a positive reaction to something that sounds enjoyable.
2. You are referring to walking to get to the restaurant as being beneficial or advantageous.
