Want something more than mall Chinese? This is an awesome place to enjoy some excellent Chinese food! Very nice decor with plenty of seating for large groups. Desmond was very welcoming, even telling jokes & offering some Chinese facts like the lucky waving cat’s Chinese name Zhaocai Mao and its job is to wave in the money & is a symbol of prosperity & good fortune! Butterfly garden offers single dishes as well as combination dishes as well as ‘dinner for 2,4 etc. They offer many options in many categories from traditional sweet & sour to octopus! We ordered the dinner for 4 and they are so generous with their portions that there was enough leftovers for a second dinner for the three of us adults! The food was excellent and you could tell that they took great care to create each dish to make it an explosion of colour for the eyes and a delight for your palette! Visit our new favourite place for sit-down Chinese dining!

Delicious food, friendly service. Many vegetarian options available, and a modest selection of alcoholic beverages.

Lynda Allies

Excellent food. Have not had Chinese food this good since coming to Cranbrook 6 years ago. Staff is very friendly and the food is served very hot. Have been here twice and will definitely be back.

Lance Renyk

Staff pleasant and the food good and reasonably priced

We were driving thru Cranbrook and picked up takeout from here because we had a few hours drive ahead of us. They have a dinner special for $31 where you get a noodle, a meat + veg , 2 spring rolls and meat dish. The price seemed super generous and we thought we would give it a shot. The portions are good but the food was extremely bland and lacked flavour. Also there was barely any meat in the noodles or veg +meat dish. Most definitely would not recommend this place because the food was not good.

Stuart Mason

Best Chinese restaurant in Cranbrook. Excellent, efficient, friendly staff. Fresh food well prepared served quickly.

Brad Flinders

We love the ginger beef! This place can get busy, but worth it. They deliver too.

Aaron Godfrey

They will not answer their phone, answered it once said I would call back in two mins now they are ignoring my calls. Would not recommend

Leeann Chudy

Our favorite place in town The friendly atmosphere is just as good as the food and I look forward to going to get my order just to visit for a minute. Always packed with special care, and usually an extra cookie for my left overs tomorrow ❤ The War Won Ton soup is a must and the portion is so big you be eating for 2 days!

Helien Watson

Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! The sweet and sour pork was my favourite. Homemade sauce made it so delicious!

Renee C

Food tasted great, HOWEVER, within 30min of eating I became very sick with some pretty client vomiting and stomach pain. It's a shame be side the food was great and I had planned on stopping in twice on my work trip. Not sure what the issue was, but being I was fine, and hadn't ate much of anything yet that day, it couldn't have been anything else.

Laurier Chabot

Chinese food is very good here!!

Elizabeth Shirley Gideon

Very good food - Ordered takeout and was very impressed with the quality of the food. Even though it took longer than other takeout restaurants (50 mins to get the food because it was really busy that night), it was well worth the wait. Food was hot and very tasty! Ordered chicken chow mein, black bean veggies, sweet and sour pork, and ginger beef. Perfect sweet and sour pork, best I've had! (it was fresh and crispy like it should be!). Probably my favorite chicken chow mein also (noodles cooked perfectly, not too greasy, and the chicken pieces were great). Price and portion sizes were fair. The black bean veggie dish was very good (and I'm not even a big fan of black bean sauce) The black bean sauce was not too strong or salty other restaurants have, and the veggies were not over cooked. My only criticism would be the ginger beef texture was soft and a bit soggy (it really should be more crispy like the sweet and sour pork). That being said everything else was perfect and this will be my new favorite Chinese food spot, great job Butterfly Garden!!!

AJ DeSwart

Food was cooked from frozen, can taste freezer dethaw. Overpriced compared to competitors in the area. Disappointed but will review again on busier night.

Peter Thiessen

Very good

Wang Mingyang

Excellent!

Tom armstrong

Ordered 3 hrs ahead on mothers day. Had to travel 19 khm to get it. Over Half way there they called me and said they ran out of the 2 main items that we always order and are the best on their menu. I Said should have called me earlier and maybe come up with a couple of different things. Said were really busy. Tried to give me something they had made up. No receipt in bag. Terrible customer service. Did it to a couple standing outside with me as well. But. they never got a call . Got home. Spring rolls were dripping in oil. No sauce on curry shrimp fried rice. Complete and udder disaster. Gave them a 1 star cause couldnt rate it with a zero. Never go again. Hope people read this. Has great food. But if you treat people like. They won't come back.

Kevin Ward

Excellent service and delicious food - top rating in all areas. Friendly and personal owners - followed them from Kimberley to Cranbrook - still the same great service.

Zerah Ali

Coming from Toronto and was pleasantly surprised to find this place in Kimberley! Food was on point and was tasty. Prices are reasonable for the area. Host was awesome. Definitely a repeat whenever I return here.

Drew Waters

Ordered from here last night an woow they beat every other Chinese food restaurant in town! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Chinese food

Bradley Cairns

Best just the best go there and eat the best ginger beef ever

S Bennett

Great food. We love going here with our kids. They know our names and make delicious food, fast. Sometimes they look closed, but they're not, so try the door before you walk away.

Harmony Ladd

Food is pretty good but hung up on me while ordering

Parth Thakkar

I have been going to this restaurant since they were located in Kimberly...once every week i used to drive 30kms just to eat their food...its been more than 1 year since i have been their regular customer...dumplings are totally awesome...their food with black bean saus is an absolute gift from god...i am so confident about their food that i can close my eyes pick any number and still be sure that the dish is going to be awesome...it is perfect..it is tasty and absolutely healthy.... without any doubt...even if you have to wait for some time i would say it is more than woth it...the more i write about it the more think it is an understatement...PLEASE TRY IT ONCE YOU WILL LOVE IT...absolutely love it...

JJ Rushton

Sweet and sour pork and spring rolls were excellent! Very fast as well

Rhonda Elliott

Went to this restaurant yesterday on a recommendation. Sure happy about that. The food was absolutely amazing and our server was awesome. This will be my go to place for Chinese food from now on ????

Oliver M

Decent Chinese food at a reasonable price, lots of different combinations to choose from.

red wine

Not good. I ordered sautéed shrimp and squid and beef pepper and mushrooms. Both dishes were nothing but vegetables with about 4 pieces of meat in each, 35$ for 2 orders of veggies? not impressed I will never order from here again. This was take out did not know till I got home I phoned to let them know and they offered me 20% off next visit, ah thanks but no thanks I should of got what I ordered.

Tracy Thorn

The food was delicious. If you want your chicken balls to have "more chicken" order the almond chicken or lemon chicken with sauce on the side. It still has a crust on it but is mostly chicken with much less batter! So good!

bill whitehouse

Very poor. Don't order the beef Curry unless you want curried cabbage and broccoli with almost no beef. Never going back there ???????????????? No Stars but one is lowest possible

Alyssa Rae

Ginger beef is oustanding. They always let us make changes to the dinner packages and delivery is so fast

Lori Horwood

My dinner was great I would tell my friends and family to go

Jordain Brulotte

What a feast for $50. Dinner, Lunch and Dinner again. The food was spot on. The ginger beef is spicy and fantastic. The sweet and sour has it's own signature flavour and was well prepared with sesame seeds sprinkled ontop. The chow mein was perfectly done. I will definitely eat here again. Served family style for you to share.

Nicole Zmurchyk

Always a great meal. Love it there.

William Nickson

Food was cooked from frozen, taste was also not good because of that. I'll never go back.

Steve Warner

Just amazing service and huge portions amazing food

Sarah Breezy

We have been ordering from here for a long time but the last few times have been getting worse and worse!! Today the ginger beef was soooo dry I cannot even chew it and the container was maybe half way full, we ordered almond ski gui (which is already dry chicken) but it USUALLY comes with sauce, no sauce!!!! And we ordered 3 spring rolls and only got 2 sauce packages for the 3 rolls. After a long busy day we just wanted to order something that would be good and satisfying, this was neither! I don't think we will order from here ever again!!!!!

Jennifer Craft

Wow! The taste is in the name “authentic”. The flavour of this food is the best we have had. This is what Chinese food should taste like. It is not masked with salt and MSG. The flavours actually come from the ingredients. You can tell they take pride in every dish. The chicken balls are to die for. A little bit of batter and a large chunk of juicy chicken. The veggies are fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly, polite and helpful. My husband is a very picky eater and they were very accommodating. The service was fast but after tasting the food it would have still been well worth a longer wait. I can’t wait to try more of their dishes. I highly recommend giving this place a try. This will be our go to place from now on.

deanna thompson

Nice people good food but extensive

Tisha Bailey

Brianna Stevely

Best chinese in town!

Cindy Bailey

Awesome food, great deal! The owners are super friendly with customers and aim to please! Highly recommend.

Chung-Tao Andy Chu

The worst Chinese restaurant in Cranbroo. Very greasy and unhealthy (may I say disgusting?) food. Never (at least myself) go there again.

dennis potvin

Will not go back, kitchen area looked dirty, greasy, small portions, cheapest ingredients like in beef veg chop suey had lots of cabbage and carrots with a few broccoli and few beef strips

Cyndi Sarton

They make the BEST Ginger Beef and House Special Chow Mein! Recommend this restaurant! Everything we have had is fresh and delicious. Just watch your bill if you pick it up....they automatically add 20% gratuity.

Taylor George

Not good at all

Laceyleigh84 Laboucan-Avirom

Just a traveller passing by who was tired and in need of some good Chinese and a movie. The bbq pork fried rice was so flavourful and the chicken chow mein was good too. The bbq pork and veg, also very good. Ginger beef needs a bit more sauce then it will be perfect lol! And the chicken balls were super yummy. All round good food. And I’m fussy about food on the road so it was nice ????

frank dorogdi

Ordered 5 items for take out.it was great!!! Easily better than any Chinese in Cranbrook. Would highly recommend this restaurant!!

Dave Mahon

It was good food and hot

Sue Culshaw

What a disappointment we read the reviews and people said it was good best Chinese in Cranbrook. We walked in and given a menu and pen and paper they wanted us to write down our order. We write a list and then told half our list was unavailable so we picked other dishes only to be told they were unavailable, third time lucky we ordered. We should have left when we could not get the dishes we wanted, our dishes arrived we ordered sizzling satay beef and mushroom it was so bland definitely no satay. Also ordered the salt pepper pork this was also tastless, the special fried rice was rice with frozen vegetables a little bit of pork and super tiny prawns and once again tasteless. The spring rolls we order came with a satchel of sauce not even put in a bowl no presentation. Would definately never go back. We love Chinese food but this was so disappointing.

Cara Bannick

Absolutely the best Chinese food I have had in a very long time!! This will definitely be our go to place!

Grant Klippenstein

A fantastically reliable corner post of Kimberley's downtown.

Diane Marschner

Ordered one person meal of sweet and sour chicken balls and chicken chow main. I got some kind of long blobby chicken and no sweet and sour sauce in a box marked Lunch. Large serving of mediocre chow mein. I called the restaurant and they said they would tell the kitchen to go back to making it into chicken balls. How about some sauce. Very disappointed. Wont be back

joanne harris

Nice people fast service & tasty food.

Amanda Dixon

Excellent food and service

Destiny Smith

I’ve never had ginger beef this delicious and I’ve literally ordered from a couple hundred Chinese food places throughout my lifetime. It was so exceptional that I ordered 8 portions, took them to Calgary and froze them. Now when I order Chinese food here, I can skip the ginger beef because I have the best already

Alisha And Matthew Aubin

Best Chinese food in town

Heather Manning

Great food and wonderful service! We will be back again very soon!!

M Ohlheiser

Great food, reasonable prices, fun hosts! Best WarWonTon soup!

dan lahm

Portions were very small average price curried chowmein was very dry 20 minutes from the first dish untill the second .the staff was very nice

Nikki McCoy

Great food! Wonderful owners! Take the time to know all patrons.

Chris _

Good food, people are friendly but extremely slow service. 90 minutes for 4 dishes using their takeout service. When I ordered they told me it would be 45 minutes. It was actually double that.

teresa mccrory

Very happy with the food. Will eat there again

alex priestman

Food has really gone downhill lately. Just raised the prices too. Not worth it for the money you spend

Nicholas Ralph

Amazing food! Quite a delicious place with quick and friendly service. Only problem is parking... (But that's not their fault)

Grant Durrell

Food was excellent. Service was fast and friendly. I will be back.

d stupa

If you like greasy, flavorless American Chinese food please eat here. Ordered a 100$ worth of food and received terrible service, they wanted to charge for delivery when it's supposedly "free". The food looked like it was reheated from frozen meals at a grocery store .

Chris Johns

We had an excellent take-out meal Friday night. Enough for 2 dinners and it was delicious even heated up for day #2. Oh, and Lunch on Day #3!! Good job and we'll be back. C & C

Cydne Dufresne

The ginger beef is crazy good. Nice place, great food and service

Yves Hung

You should give it a shot. For my opinion, the dishes I ordered were tasty.

Jeff Findlay

Horrible service. Rude people. Never going here again and I warn others to not. Can't believe the disrespect I recieved on the phone from the owner. If I could rate -5 stars I would.

Shannon Tang

The food is always excellent whether you eat in or take out. The service is great too. I'm my opinion its the best Chinese food in Cranbrook!
