Reviewers describe Satay Brothers as a vibrant and bustling spot in Montreal with a lively atmosphere and a strong vibe, where the menu offers a wide range of flavorful small plates ideal for sharing and standout items like pork belly bao, laksa, satay, and papaya salad, plus bold drinks; the service is often praised for being attentive and friendly, though the place can be loud and busy, with long waits at peak times and some concerns about portion sizes or value; overall it comes across as a must visit for groups and for anyone seeking bold, authentic Southeast Asian flavors and a memorable, energetic dining experience.
I love Satay Brothers, it's always such a vibe. The service is top notch - I remember a time it was pouring out & the host was giving out umbrellas to people waiting on the street & also taking orders for drinks. I had a spicy margarita waiting for a table. The food is fantastic as well, it goes without saying. The tempeh satay skewers, pork buns, & mi goreng are my go to dishes.

Excellent vibe, we arrived from the wettest coast with two children, so we went at like 1030 & they rushed us to the back saying "family". Two young ladies came out of a bathroom stall as I was showing my daughter around the restaurant....ahhh the past. Food was top, service was top, love it & will return
Came thru with a giant staff party vibe!!! & they kept us happy & full with delicious dishes to great music & service!! Great jobs guys...vrooooooooim 🏁🦀🐚
Everything from the vibe to the food to the service was A+ for me. I was really sleeping on this place but I'm so glad I finally gave it a shot. I can't even recommend anything specific because everything I had was perfect. I will 100% be coming back.
Killer flavours & nice atmosphere at fair prices, kid friendly too. **UPDATE**: 10 year later review update - bumping up to 5 stars. This really is one of the best restaurants in the city. Amazing & super consistent food (we're 10y+ regulars at this point). One of our favourite restaurants in the city. Great bold & bright flavours from an under-represented cuisine here in Montreal. The laksa, pork buns, satay sandwich & papaya salad are all standouts. Also, the fried rice (which changes up regularly) is amazing, truly awesome. The vibe is great too. Vibrant but laid back atmosphere, great with the family/friends earlier in the night, then it becomes a really fun evening spot with a lively clientele, a good bar & good times when the sun goes down. When people are visiting Montreal for the first time & ask for restaurant recommendations, Satay Brothers is always on the list. Not to be missed, one of our best. I'll update this review in another 10 years!
YASS YASS YASSS!!! everything was incredible!! The music & vibes are great, & the food is amazing! Already dreaming...dreaming of my next visit, ok that's all bye

Great restaurant. Love the vibe. The food is delicious. The pork bun is a must. The bun is nice & soft & the meat is a bit fatty which makes it really tasty. I also really enjoyed the tuna tataki & papaya salad. All the plates came out really fast. . The service is great & prices are very reasonable. This place never disappoints.
Delicious food! I recommend the bao & fried chicken. Good service too but very busy on weekends so be prepared to wait or make a reservation. Fun, loud party vibe.
The food here is simply incredible. Cooked to perfection, heavenly tasty, perfectly greasy. Also the vibes are immaculate, the decor is so nicely curated, & the service is so friendly & just- I love this place. The papaya salad with pork was sooo tasty & refreshing, the pork buns were wow, the satay chicken was one of the best I've ever had. They do not take reservations, be aware that you may have to wait a good hour & a half on a weekend at peak time, but they have a bar where you can wait if you want.
Super friendly & patient staff. Add the quality food & the experience is memorable. Extremely enjoyable evening with friends which resulted in meeting some fun characters due to the energetic atmosphere & vibe.
Absolutely legendary spot. The food is delicious, the price point is more than fair, the staff is welcoming & laid back & the vibe is just perfect. I keep going back. What a place, always a guaranteed good time.
