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.
SO SO SO yummy! Loved everything about this place. Very busy for a Wednesday night but service was still on point & so was the quickness of the kitchen - I'm still thinking of the salad I had!
Super endroit ! Une très belle décoration, une carte de qualité Attention l'attente peut être très longue (1:00 pour nous) Mais si vous êtes en bonne compagnie ça vaut le coup :)

I was here with TheRajEats FoodiesGiveBack & the entire experience was superb. The food was so fresh & flavourful, & the dishes nicely complimented each other. Especially liked the ribs & fried rice. The cocktails were also very tasty & well balanced. The service was just as good as the food. Despite the place being absolutely packed on a Friday night, the staff was very attentive & service was timely. Highly recommend for a quick meal or a group outing. Be warned, though - it's a lively & LOUD place.
Original, exotique & délicieux. Très belle ambiance asiatique à l'intérieur, un chaleureux dépaysement! J'y suis allé plusieurs fois, mais ce qui reste toujours aussi bon est leur sandwhich bao, dont le pain & la viande sont si tendres. La dernière fois, j'y suis allé avec un groupe d'amis pour l'anniversaire de l'un d'entre eux. Nous étions assis à une table ronde avec plateau tournant (très convivial) sur laquelle sept services de plats à partager nous ont été servis. Salade de goyave fraîche, brochettes, poulet frit, bao, côte levées, curry de boeuf, nouilles au fruits de mers... tous les plats étaient plus débordants de saveurs les uns que les autres. Une belle soirée! Service OK. Prix salé.
I've had the laksa maybe 6 years ago at Atwater marché stall. It was better than the one I had at the restaurant now. I haven't been to the restaurant, so we went to try it . Being from the region in South East Asia. I was immediately excited to try this place. The food was kind of below average. It was disappointing due to the portion size , cost & the quality. The laksa felt diluted , it tastes more of tumeric rather than the richness of Laksa. & the portion is so small for what you are paying for. The Satay was not bad , it was kind of bulky pieces usually they are more smaller & flat. The peanut sauce was good. For three satays the price was very high . The char kuey teow was disappointing. It didn't have that Char flavor that u want & it wasn't even piping hot , that already tells you that it wasn't going to taste correctly. The decor atmosphere looked amazing . It's a beautiful restaurant. However the food was ridiculously priced for the portions,it felt like sample size & it wasn't up to average standard . So for people who want something like street food back in Singapore Malaysia Indonesia, I wouldn't waste my money coming here. An average road side stall would have tasted better than this place. The only thing I can see enjoying in this place is bringing a larger group of friends or party for the bar & atmosphere

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.
A découvrir, vraiment excellent, peu importe le plat. Nous avons été conquis. Scoop: été 2024 de mai à octobre ils auront un resto ouvert au marché Atwater. Je sens qu'on va se revoir 😉
We were a party of 17 people to eat the group menu at your restaurant at my suggestion. I ate the group menu there late last year & was super satisfied with the food & left with a full stomach. However, this time i was disappointed in the portions of the food & the guests left with unsatisfied bellies. In fact after dinner at Satay Bros, we ended up getting drinks at another pub where some of the guests had ordered food because we were still hungry. Also, the waiters didnt mention the names of the dishes which was unfortunate. So we were eating delicious food but would have no idea what to order if we ever decided to return.
Fantastic place, the food is incredible (still dreaming about those steam buns) & the staff is friendly & entertaining. With my seafood allergy, it's one of the only Asian restaurant that I feel safe.
