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 expérience! Nous avons partagé des entrées & plats plats principaux. Les prix sont très raisonnables, la nourriture est fraîche & savoureuse, le service amical & l'ambiance est dynamique! C'est un endroit qui bouge beaucoup. Il y a du bruit & les gens parlent, mais l'ambiance est festive, alors je recommande fortement pour des soirées entre amis!
If you are looking for night-marketesque fun, & amazing food all in one spot this is the place for you. Everything from service, decor to layout of this place is just enthralling & unique. We went as a large group & got the set menu which I highly highly recommend. Absolutely worth every dollar. The owner is friendly, casual & on top of everything. We had an amazing time, & I would return time & time again.
The food is good but what i love the most is the interior of the restaurant. The way they placed everything is just like taking u to the different world from the outside.
took my singaporean partner here for our 2nd dinner because i was craving their laksa. back home now for a few months & still craving it as we speak which reminded me to write this review. he is still dreaming about the random daily fried rice he ordered that was a black olive fried rice. all in all, fire. singaporean approved!!
Amazing dinner at Satay B. !! Food was amazing. Vibes immaculate. I haven't had such good & attentive service in years!!! We were a group of 10ppl but felt like we were 2ppl the service was so good. They were super easy about accommodating food restrictions. 10/10 would go back tomorrow. Thank you guys

It's a place that looks & feels like it's straight out of a old classic Hong Kong cop action movie. The decor is awesome, the servers & staff are all willing to help you figure out what you want. We did a set course & we met the server pick the dishes for us & Boy we were not disappointed. Definitely stop by here you will not be disappointed! & buy a shirt!
Had a booking for 8 on sunday at 7:30pm. When we entered, the place was packed with other groups. I thought the service or the food would be slow to come out but i was definitely wrong.
Our waiter was really nice, explained the food, & made sure my friend with a food allergy got a suitable replacement.
The food was a set menu for the entire group. 7 plates for 55$. Every plates was delicious, i thought I wouldn't be filled initially but i was wrong again. There was barely any downtime between plates coming in which was nice. The plates were mainly meat (chicken skewers, fried chicken, ribs, lamb, pork bao bun) which was perfect for me.
Overall, food, service & atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend going there to everybody.
One of my colleagues highly recommended this place (infact she was adamant we try it out) & glad we took her recommendation! Got to try a few things on the menu & most of it slaps. Definitely check out the fried chicken buns & the skewers. Flavourful, fresh ingredients & the skewers had a unique smokey but a piercing marinating sauce effect to it - gotta try it to believe it. If you're in the area or want something different - check it out!
Un petit bijou sur Notre-Dame !
Superbe découverte chez Satay Brothers, partagée avec une amie. On a magnifiquement bien mangé - c'était tout simplement délicieux ! Le service au bar était top, attentionné & chaleureux, & l'ambiance… incroyable !
Petit clin d'oeil qui nous a touchées : ils ont même un billet de la Polynésie française/Calédonie dans la déco - Représentées 🌺
Un endroit à revisiter sans hésiter. On reviendra, c'est sûr !
Nourriture qui goûte le ciel, le personnel est super accueillant, nous avons goûté aux spécialités de la maison mais j'ai été enchantée x la soupe au fruit de mer & noix de coco, salade de papaye & le dessert mangue & crème de coco est àcouper le souffle. Nous y retournerons c'est certain!
