Facts about Butterfly Belly

Wow!!!! We had such an amazingly delicious meal here today!The place is super cute. Service was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. And everything is gluten free, and very veg/vegan friendly. We started with the tofu egg rolls, then had the pan fried rice with shrimp and the vermicelli salad bowl with tofu. And everything was SO tasty!!! You choose your spice heat level, but even level five isn't too spicy. Thursday nights they have fun, live music and (later) karaoke. This is a hidden gem. They do dine in and carry out. It's super fun and we will absolutely come back the next time we're in town.

Even for Portlanders, this is unique & unusual.A vibe inside on its own, heavily decorated in their own style. A layout fit for late nite. The bartender who is very musically talented will hype up a busy night on the karaoke microphone or passionately sing to a single table in an empty house. That in itself shows the love in ownership & music. 48 hour bone broth, fresh ingredients, no MSG, a variety of tasty Asian cuisine.Their website says it all.

[ SERVICE ]: 10/10 * As we came into this cute little restaurant, we were greeted with (what we thought) was live music, but instead we found out that it was the owner and some other randoms enjoying a karaoke sesh! We seated ourselves and the owner promptly came over to greet us and explain the menu to us. He was extremely attentive and kind, definitely made you feel at home.[ AMBIANCE ]: 6/10 * Personally, I found the vibes to be cozy and inviting, a little quirky but nonetheless I enjoyed the local art mural of koi fish on the wall. The owner explained that he was getting ready to revamp the whole restaurant and have a new artist come in and repaint the mural. I am unsure if he regularly supports local artists to redo different pieces throughout the restaurant but it's a cool concept![ FOOD ]: 4.5/10 * What brought us here was the fact that it was completely gluten free! As someone that is mild to moderately gluten sensitive, I have the luxury to not be so stringent on the ingredients of my food and still look for very authentic flavors. I can definitely see the appeal for those that may have celiacs and need to worry more about what goes into their food or what their food is around. I feel that we may have ordered the wrong dishes, but I was a little underwhelmed at the food itself when it came to flavor, presentation-wise, it was well done. There was homemade hoisin sauce as well which was pretty exciting, but do not expect it to taste like your normal hoisin sauce. - Butterfly Wings (7/10): I was pretty impressed at the crispiness and flavor of the wings. Although serving sizes were a bit small but I suppose that's the price you pay for peace of mind and supporting local business! Definitely my favorite dish we ordered. - Butterfly Pho (5/10): Perhaps it was my fault for getting too hyped up about the 48-hour slow cooked pho from reading previous review that RAVED about the pho, but I was extremely underwhelmed. I believe that the owner mentioned that there was no MSG which may be a good thing for some, but personally I feel that it caused the pho to lack the flavor that I was expecting. It wasn't terrible by any means, but just a little disappointing considering all the people that spoke so highly about it, though the beef meatballs were one of the biggest redeeming factors for me and my partner! Texture and flavor of the beef meatballs were great and you can tell they were homemade. - Quails Nest (2/10): I enjoyed the vegetables at the bottom of the dish, and I do have to give them credit for being innovative with rice paper rather than noodles but just didn't hit the same, I wished there was more sauce overall. The quail itself was okay. You get two quails, each cut in half, and I was sad to say that it lacked much character or flavor at all. Perhaps I'm unfamiliar with this style of dish but it felt very plain, and kind of dry. * This experience definitely felt more of a place to get a drinks and sing some karaoke with some friends, with the peace of mind that there would be no gluten contamination

Cute and slightly quirky family owned restaurant you'll want to support! All items are gluten-free and there are several vegan options as well. It's one of the only places I know of where my celiac partner can have egg rolls! The food is mostly Vietnamese-inspired, adapted to make gluten-free. Even if you're not into the food, you'll want to come for the funny pho names on the menu, the hilarious male proprietor who will greet you at the door, and the open karaoke that sends major party vibes but is also family friendly. Even though the pho isn't the best I've had, I will come back to support this sweet family!

High-quality service and consistently good food. What is not to like?Especially for anyone traveling or dining with dietary restrictions, Butterfly Belly is an ideal establishment to spend time dining. Almost entirely gluten-free, vegan options galore, and some of the longest broth-making times of any place in the US make this food quite unique.The prices are very well positioned, too, so I would not be surprised if this place only gets busier and busier. The team is very quick to prepare your food and will tell you all about the unique items or cuisine that goes into every bite.I was surprised at how easily I could finish my dishes, which the owner had recommended. I thought for certain that I would bring a takeaway box after the end, but I could finish my meal. Good ingredients go a long way!If you are planning on getting a cocktail or alcohol here, the prices are great, too!

Gluten-free egg rolls and no MSG! The family that owns this place is absolutely wonderful. We sang a little impromptu karaoke on our way out and had an amazing time. We will be back for the food and the great service!

Butterfly is exactly what you expect you a punky Portland restaurant. Quirky staff, open set in a restaurant and decent food. Service was a little slow, but server (maybe owner) was so charming and passionate about the restaurantand food that it was hard to be annoyed. Portion size of meat in pho was a little small, but the housemade beef meatball made up for it. Broth was rich and tasty. Restaurant is a little tucked away and a bit crowded when you look in the window, but do not be deterred. You will enjoy the experience.

This is a gem for all gluten-free folk! Everything is GF and they even have a dedicated GF fryer! We ordered the egg rolls and the fried calamari and it was delicious! But nothing can compare to the 48 hr pho - totally worth it! In addition to the food, the service was excellent! Our waiter was attentive to our needs and even sang karaoke. This place has such a fun vibe! Highly recommend this place, especially is you are gluten-free!

Horrible experience. Not only the food never got to our table but I made the mistake to walk to the bathroom and look at the kitchen. I am not sure how they can prepare food there. It's concerning. Bathroom was also gross. After 2 hours waiting, and multiple tables complaining about the same, we left without eating.

Walked in here right as they opened on a Saturday. The owner welcomed me immediately. He is a very charming man with quite a sense of humor. The ambiance here is set worth jazzy or blues music, dimly lit. A very comfortable setting on the edge of the Pearl district.I ordered the Butterfly Pho, and it definitely hit the spot as it was Pho that I was craving. The broth tasted fresh and homemade. The meat and noodles were well portioned out. I would definitely come back again.
