Satay Brothers comes across as a beloved, high energy spot in Montreal offering vibrant Singaporean and Asian fusion with a strong emphasis on sharing plates, perfect for groups and celebrations. Diners praise the food as consistently flavorful and bold, with standout items such as pork buns, papaya salad, laksa, satay, and various curries; the laksa is repeatedly cited as outstanding, the buns as must try, and the group menus highly recommended for big parties. The atmosphere is described as lively, noisy, colorful, and festive, with decor reminiscent of night markets and a hip, bohemian vibe, and the drinks including pandan daiquiri and spiked lemonade add to the experience. Service is frequently highlighted as attentive and friendly, able to accommodate dietary restrictions, though some reviews note that on peak nights service can feel stretched and wait times long. The staff are repeatedly thanked for going above and beyond and the venue is seen as an authentic, welcoming gem with a loyal following, often recommended for both casual nights out and special occasions. Reservations are not always available; guests often wait at a bar next door and still enjoy strong overall value and quality. Overall the consensus is that Satay Brothers delivers delicious food, vibrant energy, and a standout dining experience that keeps bringing people back.
Absolute must go! Walk the market & then come back here hungry to try everything on the menu as nothing disappoints. The satay is plump & juicy yet grilled to absolute perfection. The peanut sauce doesn't fight with the meats but nicely compliments the flavors. The laksa was so flavorful that the kids each are their own bowls & left no drop behind. The baos were so pillowy & the pork belly was incredible. We've come everytime we visit Montreal & the food & experience never disappoints.
We were super happy with our experience here. It was busy & the vibes were great. The food was phenomenal & we can't wait to go back. The service was very casual & that's one of the things we liked most.
This place is just awesome. The service is'hors pair', the food is outstanding & price pretty reasonable. We were six, 4 for the first time, & found the food, service & place in general to be exceptional.
We had a GREAT experience tonight at Satay Brothers!
Mason & Frank made us feel so well taken care of all night long, I truly feel, even though they were full, that it was some of the best service I've received in any restaurant.
From the quality of the food, authentic flavours, & the impeccable service (despite having arrived without reservation on a busy Friday) I highly recommend Satay Brothers. Amazing job to their service team & thank you so much!

We sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. Everyone working in the kitchen is meticulous. Vegetarian options make it one of the best places in Montreal. The food tastes really good. Every server bent over backwards to get us any drink. After being in business for 16 years, they know the formula.
