Butterfly Garden in Cranbrook

Great staff, ordered many times and has always been good .the ginger beef is in a class of its own ,its that goodIt could open earlier 4pm is bit late

This place is about 30 seconds away from The Cranbrook Museum.I love your food but please there should be extra beef in the noodles it’s fairly invisible and more there should chicken in the chicken fried rice 🍚 than there is when I ordered, it was as though there none in there.I am quite disappointed. Knowing how people love Chinese food I think they can do better

We ordered for a family supper. The food was ready quickly and able to help avoid allergic items. Very friendly and helpful

Best wonton soup everCombination plate had good almond chicken, noodles could have used a bit more flavour

Great staff. Wonderful food. Big servings. Cant wait to go back!

Fast and delicious. Need I say more?

Delicious, fresh, friendly service and great delivery time too!

Accidentally left review for the wrong place, my apologies. See you guys next time we are in Cranbrook!

The very first time I ordered was over a year ago and it was terrible. But its been a long time So tonight I thought heck ill try again. What a waste of money. The chicken chow mein had 1 piece of chicken in it. The noodles tasted TERRIBLE. The chicken "balls" werent balls. They were over breaded grease soaked chicken strips . I bit into one and just threw the entire container out. The vegetables tasted like burnt frying pan. And the ginger beef just wasnt good. It was the only thing i actually ate though so i guess it was edible. So ill give 2 stars because i ate the gingerbeef. The sweet and sour sauce also tasted like the stuff you buy in a jar at the grocery store. My husband threw all his in the garbage. My 7 year old ate the noodles and vegetables with loads of soy sauce out of pure hunger. I almost told them to forget the order when I walked in after ordering an hour and a half before hand and it still wasnt ready. Wish I had walked out and spent my money elsewhere. This is twice now its been like this. Not to mention the wine glasses hanging in the front are so filthy and dust covered it seriously makes me question the kitchen condition. I will never eat there again. Super disappointing. But I should of known better from the first experience. Lesson learned .

Great food...always hot when picking up...and friendly people.im very partial to their Ginger Beef , Broccoli and Beef, and Deep Fried Prawns

Our favorite place in townThe 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!

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

Food is pretty good but hung up on me while ordering

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

Hit and miss...mostly miss.Food is way too saltyRice was crunchyItll do in a pinch,if youre really hungry

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 wont come back.

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

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 well be back.C & C

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

Food tasted great, HOWEVER, within 30min of eating I became very sick with some pretty client vomiting and stomach pain. Its 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 hadnt ate much of anything yet that day, it couldnt have been anything else.

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!

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.

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

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

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 😊

My favorite Chinese restaurant closed but then this place opened and now it is our go to for Chinese. The food is delicious, staff are friendly and prices are great too

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

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

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

Very poor. Dont 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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 its 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.

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

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

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 😊

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 Ive 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 Im not even a big fan of black bean sauceThe 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!!!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 chickenbut 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 dont think we will order from here ever again!!!!!
