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.
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.
