Very cute spot with great rolls at a great price! I really enjoyed my experience here and the quantity of food was great. I also got a lychee martini, which was good but not my favorite martini in the city, but the plating of the food with the sauce design was very cool and worth it. Our server was patient and helpful; however, I did feel rushed towards the end of my meal. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely go again!

This place is more on the casual side, but has a great vibe and fast service! The Thai food definitely stands out the most--we got the basil fried rice which was genuinely one of the best basil fried rices I've ever had and the portion was so big! Def recommend stopping by and trying the basil fried rice

I loved the sushi here! Went on a Saturday night and it was pretty relaxed so we were seated quickly without reservation. I ordered the lychee martini and it was good--difficult drink to mess up in my experience! To share, my friend and I got the spicy tuna roll, the unagi avo, rainbow maki, and samurai rolls. The spicy tuna was actually spicy, which I don't find that often, so definitely recommend if you like spicy food. The unagi avo and rainbow roll had no surprises--both were really good and hit exactly what we were looking for. The best roll for me and my friend was definitely the samurai roll. It was delicious with perfect texture and the lingonberry sauce was so interesting and a perfect addition to the dish! Highly recommend stopping by--this is an awesome sushi place to have in the city.

Love this spot for Asian food in Chicago! I got the chirashi and it was massive and so tasty! The fish was thick and good cuts for the price. The presentation was also wonderful. My sister got the pad see ew which was so prefect on a cold day! So tasty! The service was also good and quick!

Ordered delivery using grubhub, it arrived quickly and everything was correct. We got the spicy tuna crispy rice, crunch spicy salmon maki, golden noodle w beef, and pad Thai w tofu. Everything was solid, the spicy tiny crispy rice was my favorite. Pad Thai was flavorful and on the saucier side, which I like. I actually remember going to eat at this restaurant like 15 years ago and it was solid back then too. Knowing where this location is, I'd plan ahead if you're gonna drive there, parking can be a hit or miss on Grand.

I have wanted to come to Butterfly for about 15 years and for some reason have never made it...shame on me! Its about a 20 min walk from where I live and I figured the time is now!!!! lol Stopped in recently for an early dinner with a friend who also had never been...around 5:30pm. Plenty of available seating so we had no issues there. We had a really nice server as she always came at the right time...I believe her name is Pocky. Started out with the lycheetini which was so damn good, I threw back 2 of them during dinner...like these were really damn good! We went with a summer roll, spicy tuna roll, hamachi sashimi and scallop sashimi. All of it was delicious except the scallop...wasnt really feeling that one. By the time we finished dinner, the place was pretty packed so its still a popular spot for the raw! I plan to make more trips since it so close!

I feel like they're the same owners as Sumu but with Thai food options instead of ramen. The rolls and dessert options were the same. One difference could be the size but I think it depends on the person who prepares it. Service was fine. Their AC is definitely on.

Sushi and ambiance are solid here. The place is usually crowded, so be sure to get there early. The sushi always comes out with a good looking presentation. They also have some good Thai options. Staff is very nice and attentive.

Decided to try this restaurant for restaurant week. We ended up ordering off of the regular menu. DELICIOUS! Crab Rangoons: probably the best I've ever had. They were very large, crispy, hot, flavor was delicious. My entire table loved them! Already planning my trip back. Pad See Ewe: also very very good entree. Huge portion size. It could use more of a spicy. We added their hot sauce, so so good! Food came out quickly and hot, staff were friendly. Highly recommend stopping in!

We stopped here for a quick dinner with a friend and we loved everything about this place. The food was delicious and the waitress was very nice. We got a variety of plates; sushi, ramen, salad, and soup and they were all just fantastic. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. It is a small place but they did a great job making every inch count! And then we got dessert and man, that was the one dish we had to take a picture for - it was huge (we were really glad we only got 1 dessert) and it was DELICIOUS! We definitely be back here!
