Butterfly Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine has operated on West Grand Avenue in West Town since 2005, running two kitchens under one name: a sushi bar and a Thai menu. The sushi side works from traditional Japanese fundamentals, with rolls and nigiri that draw on flavors beyond the classic repertoire.
The Thai menu follows traditional recipes, built on ingredients imported from Thailand alongside local produce that shifts with the seasons; Pad Thai is a mainstay. Butterfly also makes its ramen noodles in-house daily, including a no-broth mazemen style served alongside the sushi and Thai offerings.
Regulars point to fresh ingredients, attentive service, and a wide range of options across the sushi, Thai, and noodle sides of the menu, along with strong value during Chicago Restaurant Week.
