Right in the thick of Surry Hills, Butter pairs crisp fried chicken with warm cinnamon donuts under neon lights and hip-hop beats that channel downtown Manhattan. The signature order stacks crunchy chicken over soft dough drenched in maple syrup.

In the colder months, bowls of dashi ramen arrive topped with crispy chicken, while the floor crew keeps the room relaxed despite the volume.
