About Butter Sydney

Butter serves up crisp, juicy fried chicken paired with warm cinnamon donuts and maple syrup in Surry Hills. Stepping inside feels like slipping into a neon-lit New York outpost, soundtracked by booming hip-hop beats. Regulars order the fried chicken atop a soft donut, or grab the OG burger stacked on a soft buttermilk bun with fries. Colder months bring their seasonal fusion ramen, best paired with a side of chips smothered in rich ramen gravy.

  • Chicken & Donut Combos: Juicy tenders and crisp cuts served alongside soft cinnamon donuts and maple syrup.
  • NYC-Inspired Atmosphere: Loud hip-hop jams and neon fixtures channel an energetic New York edge.
  • Seasonal Butter Ramen: Limited-run winter bowls topped with fried chicken, plus fries doused in ramen gravy.

  • Annual Winter Fried Chicken Ramen

    Limited-run seasonal releases like winter fried chicken ramen offer warming bowls in colder months.

    their annual winter ramen is worth the trip out into the cold.

  • Hearty Ramen-Gravy Comfort Sides

    Sides like poutine topped with rich ramen gravy create hearty comfort food when extra indulgence is needed.

    The standout was the Poutine, the ramen gravy took it to the next level.

Butter Classics

  • Fried chicken and donut

    The donut was a warm pillow, soft, sweet, and delicious, with crispy, yet juicy fried chicken atop. Complemented with a drizzle of maple. This was a match made in heaven. What a combo. 10/10.

    Harry G

  • Chicken tenders

    Chicken tenders were well portioned and equally crispy, flavourful and juicy. 10/10.

  • Butter Ramen

    The Butter Ramen is available only in winter time at $28. It is good, and it does taste like a fusion of fried chicken and ramen.

    Jasper Lee

  • OG burger

    Last but not least was the OG burger and fries. Again, well portioned, crispy, juicy well seasoned chicken thigh.

    Fries are similarly soft and moist inside, crunchy outside - some of the nicest thin cut fries I’ve had.
