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.
Satay Brothers is hands down my go-to spot in the city. The food is unreal - full of bold flavors & totally worth what you pay. The vibe is always super fun & welcoming, & the decor is cool & laid-back without being pretentious.
You can't make reservations, so be ready to wait a bit - but honestly, it's part of the charm. & if there's a wait, there's a small bar right next door where you can hang out until your table's ready.
Must-orders? The bao buns, the laksa, & the Satay Ayam. But honestly, I've had everything on the menu & it's all amazing!!!!

Genuinely awful food. Even worse customer service. The food made me & my partner ill on what should have been a birthday & graduation celebration, & when I complained I was patronised, gaslit & blamed by the manager Alex.
I would attach images of what came out of me as I walked along Notre-Dame as well as when I came home but I'm not sure if anyone wants to see that although to be fair, it didn't look dissimilar to the beef randeng slop that was thrown up to me.
If you like wasting money on overpriced, poor quality shit, certain to make you ill & line the pockets of an egotistical asshole, this is the spot for you.
Satay Brothers feels like a little hawker stall dropped into St?Henri. Color everywhere, sambal in the air, & the pork?belly bun/laksa combo hit all the comfort spots. Tiny room, big vibes-worth the wait in line.
Run for the seasonal menu , the soft shell crab was incredibly delicious with a nice kick to it . Satay brothers never fails to please whether at the resto or at their Atwater location , the food & service is always the best .
One of my favourite Montreal spots. Super well priced & great vibes. Highly recommend the pork belly bao buns, papaya salad & kueh salat (SO GOOD).
Pandan daquiri is nothing special. Satay Lager is solid.
Walk-ins unless you're a large group so the wait can be a bit during peak hours. If you're a big group, you need to do family menu, which is good value for money.
Food was really delicious. I was part of a really big group (like 15ish) & they accommodated my peanut allergy/pescatarianism really well! Awesome service. Loved the vibe as well!
La cuisine est excellente en entrée j'ai pris en entrée les brochettes de poulet (super tendre & goûteux) & en plat des crevettes tigrée à la citronnelle (DÉLICIEUX). Puis le dessert coconut à tomber par terre. Le service était vraiment rapide, la serveuse était super serviable & agréable ! AU TOP !!
Great place with a great atmosphere. Any day of the week you go, there's a vibe. Food is always good. Service is always good. Prices are very affordable. Definitely a go to spot!
Cuisine & service excellents mais musique à un volume simplement insupportable, on peut même pas s'entendre réfléchir, ça a presque ruiné mon expérience.
Un de nos restaurant culte. Les serveurs ont tous cet air''trop cool'' & la bouffe est vraiment spécial. Toujours des nouveautés en promotion limitée ce qui donne une belle diversité au menu. Notre x ieme visite à ce restaurant & en plein temps de covid, non mais quel restaurant agréable à visiter & à revisiter. Bravo à toute l'équipe
