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.
Belle ambiance animée, petits plats à partager goûteux, dont certains pourraient bénéficier d'un peu plus de finition: nos satays de boeuf, hier, s'accordaient assez mal à la sauce crème sûre. Selon le serveur qui s'occupe de vous, le service est soit décontracté & sympathique ou un peu garoché, voire négligeant. Les options de pourboire commencent à 18%. Il est possible de laisser moins en inscrivant le montant soi-même.
The food is consistently outstanding! The interior decor adds to the overall beautiful experience. The staff are always in a great mood, making the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this spot to anyone.

From the line to the decorations, this place is busy but still worth it. We tried to make a reservation but they didnt answer the few times we called & we found out why when we got there. It was packed with people waiting in groups outside & at the bar next door. About 30m later we got a bar spot & just got the papaya salad since there were not any vegiterian options that caught our eye. I was hoping they would have vegiterian kao soi or phad thai but they are not that type of thai place. The papaya salad was pretty good. Maranated in a lime juice & mixed with an assortment of peppers, nuts, etc it had great contrast in flavors & textures. Overall a good thai place.
It was unclear how to get a table. The host disregarded us & then sat us in a corner. It was extremely hot in there, especially where we were. Slower service as well. They brought the wrong drink, even though I ordered a different one. Cute atmosphere though & yummy food. Good place to eat before a night out. Highly recommend the pork belly buns.
Hip place for my South Shore ass. 😄 Welcoming staff. You want to pick everything on the menu & it doesn't disappoint. I enjoy the diversity you get from more small dishes at reasonable price at Satay Bros rather than big portions at scandalous prices somewhere else. Will do again for sure. Great discovery.
Awesome experience. Went for a party of 7 & had the tasting menu, well worth the money! Everything was delicious & we everything was full by the end of it!
