    Butterfly Sushi seriously impressed me. 🦋🍣 From the beautiful presentation to the flavorful sushi + Thai food, you can tell there’s so much heart behind this family-owned spot. And can we talk about that dragon presentation?! 🐉 Their $19.99 lunch bento is such a good deal too — available every day until 4 PM. Definitely a spot I’d come back to. ❤️ 📍 West Town / Noble Square, Chicago 1139 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60642 @butterflysushi #ButterflySushi #ChicagoFoodie #ChicagoRestaurants #WestTownChicago #chicagoeats

• hana fuga yuzu sparkling sake 13 finally got to try butterfly sushi bar & thai cuisine after hearing about it for so long. it’s a family-owned neighborhood spot serving both japanese sushi and thai food, and the owners are genuinely so down to earth. you can really tell how much heart they put into the restaurant, which made me want to support them even more. we came with five people, so we got to try a little bit of everything. the fish was fresh, and the premium hand rolls with fatty tuna and uni were some of my favorites. the sushi combo is also a good way to try a few different pieces, and the thai dishes didn’t disappoint either. the ramen is made in house and was pretty good, while the pad thai and other thai dishes gave us plenty of options beyond sushi. i also really liked how much attention they put into the presentation. the portions are generous too, which makes sense when the owners really want everyone to feel like they got good value. after trying so much of the menu, i can definitely see myself coming back here again. hosted by @butterflysushichicago 📍 1139 w grand ave, chicago, il 60642

    Butterfly Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine is the kind of spot where the table quickly fills up — and somehow every dish brings a different craving. We came with friends and tried a little bit of everything, from fresh temaki with toro, uni, caviar, spicy salmon, unagi, ikura, and tuna avocado, to crispy rock shrimp and a refreshing tuna mozzarella salad. The bento box was perfect for anyone who wants variety: California roll, pad see ew, green salad, crab rangoon, and tuna and salmon sashimi all in one set. For ramen, the cheese mazemen was my personal favorite — rich, comforting, and so satisfying. And best part - the noodles were made in house!!! Love the chewy texture! We also tried the black shio pork ramen, which had a deep savory flavor. Make sure save room for dessert. The Shibuya honey toast was my favorite sweet bite of the meal and absolutely a must-try. The chocolate lava cake was another fun ending for the table. For drinks, we had Mango Tango, Lychee-tini, lychee lime soda, strawberry soda, watermelon smoothie, and Thai iced tea — colorful, refreshing, and perfect for sharing with friends. A great spot for sushi, Thai dishes, ramen, desserts, and fun drinks all in one place. 📍 Butterfly Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine 1139 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60642 @butterflysushichicago *hosted* #ButterflySushi #ChicagoSushi #ChicagoFoodie #WestTownEats #ChicagoRestaurants

    The panang curry and the Godzilla roll was my favorite! We also had the curry fried rice, drunken noodles, a tuna roll and the sweet potato roll. All of the food was delicious and the service was also great.

    Amazing food! It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a meal like I did at Butterfly. Everything was fresh, crunchy and hot. The presentation was equally as appealing. The servers were welcome and very nice. I can’t wait to come back.

    The food was soooo good! I had the miso soup, and sushi. All of it was fantastic and the service was great. Presentation was beautiful. The only thing I wish was that they had more sushi options without shrimp tempura. Would for sure come back
