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.
Plats de base, pour un prix bien trop élevé. L'environnement, les tables, les chaises, etc. sont vraiment de base, à la limite de l'inconfortable, donc ce n'est pas ça non plus ce qui vient justifier ce prix. Le service est sympathique & convivial par exemple. Bref, je ne recommande vraiment pas ce lieu.
Close your eyes, point to something on the menu, & you will not be disappointing. Everything on it reminds me of why I love food. Delicious. Atmosphere is fun but could be loud for some people.

Overall very overpriced for what we are & seasoned for the non asians as we as a big Asian group don't find it authentic but what's not acceptable is the clams they served with a noodle dish were rotten & utterly unfresh & we all spit them out after a bite
Super bonne bouffe dans des formats petits plats à partager principalement.
Les buns au pork sont très bon ❤?
Les nouilles au calemar & crevettes ❤?
Le boeuf au lait de coco très bien mais très épicé.
Le poulet frit délicieux ❤?❤?
La limonade Spiked était bonne
le vin au ver était correct
Le service est bien, mais pas très timmé avec les drinks tout arrive un peu de manière disparate.
A tribute to Monday service. It's monday night, it's the summer, you're bummed you have a whole week of grind in front of you, you just want to ease into the week with good food, good service & good vibes. THIS is where you go. We eat out a lot in Montreal & staffing is always a challenge in early summer. What could be a poster child for a trendy spot has all the stars for professional execution. Charming staff, welcoming in French (gros plus ici), smiles, attention, always accurately spiced plates. THIS is what makes a restaurant stand out year after year: day in day out execution from the moment you step in. Especially on a Monday. & on this simple Monday night shared plates at a bar corner, we simply had a lovely time.
Edit -- I went again & ordered the skewers & the caramelized coconut milk dessert (with mango, sticky rice & some seeds) -- portion size was small for skewers but they were pretty good especially the dessert.
We ordered 3 items in the Lunch menu -- all underwhelming & tiny portions. The egg fried rice was the worst I ever had :(
Food was good but they don't have many varieties. I gave one star for service because they took almost 35 min to get the food. & it was a bit suffocating inside. It's better to reserve a table.
The cocktails were tasty! My favourite was the pandan daiquiri - the pandan aftertaste was delicious.
The noodles came with a lot of seafood & the seasoning was spot on. The char kuay teow was a little sweeter than I thought it was going to be (thought it was going to be a bit more savoury), but still delicious nonetheless.
The decor is fun! It is a little loud in the restaurant so it is a bit hard to talk if you have a soft voice.
Will definitely want to come back to try more dishes!
Ordered some of classics like the satay & the mi goreng. They arrived pretty fast & also tasted great. The mi goreng was tasted classic. The other noodles we got also tasted pretty good.
We also got some drinks. tried the Pandan cocktail & it was so good. The after taste of Pandan was especially nice while drinking.
The atmosphere & decoration was also really cool to see. Overall strong vibes!
Une superbe soirée, rappelant la cuisine vietnamienne typique à mon amie. Une dégustation à l'aveugle ou au choix du chef, les plats plus délicieux les uns que les autres . L'agneau qui fondait dans la bouche & toutes les merveilleuses fines herbes telle que la coriandre. Sans conteste, il faut y aller & y aller encore ! Merci Élo ⭐?⭐?⭐?, trois étoiles pour ta prestation de vodka martini, extra dirty, 3 🫒 xoxoxo
I recently had the chance to try this place for the first time. Every thing was delicious & amazing! The service was awesome & I ate way too much. Can't wait to go back & try some new dishes! Sorry, no photos, the food did not stay on the plate long enough! The pork buns are definitely worth a try, as is the papaya salad.
