Satay Brothers is a popular outdoor destination at the Atwater Market, widely praised for its vibrant atmosphere and authentic, flavorful dishes like the laksa soup, satay skewers, and papaya salad. Many diners enjoy the quick service and the unique street food experience, though some customers note that portions can feel small relative to the price. While the vast majority of visitors find the food delicious and the staff welcoming, opinions on the authenticity of certain dishes vary. Overall, it is considered a must-visit spot for those looking for tasty meals in a lively, casual setting.
Had my regular Montreal visit laksa & satay fix at the Atwater market. Generous pieces of satay chunks & delicious peanut sauce continue to be my favourite after a trip away from home. Tried a new dish - Indonesian fried noodle with beef & it didn't disappoint. Overall, the staff added to the experience & their warm welcome makes lunch at this time of the year at Atwater market, even the more pleasurable!
Loved their laksa soup, not as good as Serai in Chicago, but definitely well worth it. Service is generally quick & food is great. They call you name when your food is ready. Picnic tables around to eat. For those with little ones or on a stroller, there's a few picnic tables with shade on the outskirts.
Ma visite au marché Atwater ce mercredi 6 août était motivée par une seule chose : goûter le célèbre Laksa des Satay Brothers. La réputation qui précède ce plat n'est en rien surfait ; c'est une expérience culinaire absolument sublime. Dès la première cuillère, on est transporté. Le bouillon est une merveille d'équilibre : riche, crémeux, & d'une complexité aromatique où le piquant, le coco & les épices se marient dans une parfaite harmonie.
La garniture est d'une fraîcheur & d'une générosité remarquables. Des crevettes parfaitement cuites, du poulet tendre, du tofu croustillant & des nouilles riz onctueuses composent ce festin. Chaque composant est choisi avec soin & contribue à créer un ensemble cohérent & délectable. C'est bien plus qu'une simple soupe ; c'est un plat réconfortant & audacieux qui témoigne d'un savoir-faire exceptionnel.
Les Satay Brothers ont transformé leur kiosque en une destination gastronomique incontournable de Montréal. Le service était efficace & souriant, malgré l'affluence. Il est rare de trouver un mets de rue aussi raffiné & préparé avec autant de passion. Ce Laksa est tout simplement une légitime raison à lui seul de se déplacer jusqu'au marché Atwater. Je reviendrai très bientôt pour découvrir leurs satays ! Un coup de coeur absolu.

If you are looking for a great Asian's food, don't try their LAKSA SOUP WITH CHICKEN, the taste is not authentic, the dish is overpriced, & the quality of the dish does not fill you. The steam bun is ok, but again, overpriced & so little. My wife eat the Laksa Chicken Soup, she got food poisoned & vomiting.
Came here during the Oktoberfest celebration & got their special satay chicken & sausage hot dogs. We're supper delicious, albeit a bit pricey at $15 per hot dog.
Flavours are super delicious, a great & unique combination of Asian & American fusion.
Would definitely want to come back to try their laksa.
A gem! We went early to make sure we got a seat by the bar. Their food was as good as the reviews. I wish they expanded to Ontario, I would be their regular customer.
The pork belly bao, the satay, the papaya salad & the laksa (super yummy!) were all better than I expected. We asked the server which were popular & we ordered everything from his list.
Service was attentive, friendly & efficient, 10/10!
A few weeks ago, the popular Satay Brothers food kiosk from Marché Atwater opened up a permanent location on a dreary stretch of Saint-Jacques Ouest.
The interior is very simple, cozy & intimate, not to mention tiny. There are three communal tables & a small spot on the bar to choose from, just about enough to seat 30 people at most.
The wall menu, written on a chalkboard, features a few fan favorites such as the satay chicken skewers & steam buns, as well as other Southeast Asian dishes & a section for changing specials.
We went with the Tofu Steamed Buns (a hit), Laksa Lemak soup (a classic!) & Mee Goreng noodles (so-so).
Based on tonight's dinner, we can confidently say that the brothers are still on the right track with their new establishment. This one is bound to be a permanent fixture in the burgeoning Saint-Henri neighborhood.
