The decor this West Town sushi and Thai BYOB spot will remind you of a Monarch butterfly; the walls are vibrant orange and the banquettes and chairs are orange and jet black. Asian touches include a gurgling fountain and elegant statuary. The broad menu features a la carte sushi and maki mono, plus specialty rolls (such as rainbow and dragon). House specialties include Thai-style escargot, banana duck curry and a seared tuna salad. Entrees are split between Japanese and Thai; look for choices such as green curry, cashew chicken, steak teriyaki and chicken katsu. Sipping options include fruity bubble tea lattes and smoothies, plus strong Thai coffee.
