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.
Came to montreal on a trip from Toronto, this was the best meal I ate by far, & I had some good food. Everything was amazing but the shrimp skewers & pork belly buns were phenomenal. Great vibe too.
Nous avons adoré ce restaurant. Les plats étaient incroyablement bons, bien assaisonnés & servis avec soin. Le service était rapide & professionnel, & l'ambiance très agréable. Un endroit à découvrir absolument!

Ambiance & decor is very cool. First time enjoyed the food selection & drinks, although it was a bit loud. Tried it for a second time & have to say the food was mediocre & service wasn't great. Depends on what you're looking for if it's more of an ambiance vibe with drinks this is a good spot but food & service could be better in my opinion.
Always great vibes, great food & a great time at Satay Brothers! They slid us in before a reservation, but we never felt pressured & the service was amazing.
Never again! Our server was so stressed about making sure that we stayed there for 2 & 2 hours only (after reminding us at least 5 times) that even in the last 10 mins he was watching our remaining plates like a hawk. Going to a restaurant is not just about the food, it's also about the experience & because of the rushed pressure to turnover, our experience was garbage.

Belle atmosphère, nourriture vraiment bonne mais un peu chère pour la quantité dans l'assiette. Un endroit sympa pour passer un bon moment entre mais clairement pas l'endroit pour manger un repas copieux ou alors ça va vous coûter un petit billet!
We had a great experience. The service was great. They even accomodate to have the tasting menu even though we were only four
I highly recommend this place
Had an amazing time! The courses were expertly selected by our waiter & were all delicious! The music & vibe were awesome! Will definitely be going back again on our next trip to Montreal!
Nous avons essayé plusieurs plats à partager & nous n'avons pas eu de coup de coeur mis à part le rouleau de riz frit en entrée. On m'a dit que le bun vapeur au porc est très bon, mais nous ne sommes pas du même avis. Les plats manquaient de saveur & le service n'était pas chaleureux.
We were two seated at the first bar. The bartender was really joyful & made really good cocktail even though this is not a cocktail place. Plates were also tasty & portions were big enough. It was a bit on the salty side so watch out for that! The ambiance is more on the active side. Music is lively.

It's always such a pleasure to dine here. I brought in my colleagues, most of whom were travelling from all over Canada, for a holiday team dinner & the crew was very accommodating despite there being multiple dietary restrictions/allergies. Everyone was blown away by the food & ended their meal by saying that they couldn't wait to come back with their loved ones when travelling to Montreal again. Thank you all for the amazing food & vibes!
Satay Brothers is one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal, & they excel at handling big groups & the family style menu is perfect for big groups. The staff are great, the food is amazing, & its always a great vibe at the restaurant
