honestly the staff is super chill & down to earth. you absolutely need to order the vao buns & the papaya salad. we went to celebrate an event & glad we picked thus location.
The BEST tempeh I have ever had. It was super tender & flavorful with the peanut sauce. My friend who doesn't like tempeh ordered another plate for her!! Steamed pork buns quite good also. Service was top notch, fast, efficient, kind. The place is crowded & loud, with good music, so be aware of that! I will definitely come back.
Sometimes the best food experiences are completely unplanned. We were just walking around & stumbled upon Satay Brothers on Notre-Dame, & I'm so glad we decided to stop in.
We started with the chicken satay, which was perfectly grilled, juicy, & served with an incredibly flavorful peanut sauce. Then came the rice noodles & the bo bun both fresh.
To finish, we had the mango & coconut milk dessert, & it was the perfect ending to the meal. Light, creamy, refreshing, & not overly sweet.
From the food to the atmosphere & the friendly service, everything exceeded our expectations. This was one of those spontaneous discoveries that turned into a memorable dining experience.
If you're in Montreal & love authentic, flavorful food, Satay Brothers is absolutely worth a visit. A well-deserved 5/5 in every category!
Satay Brothers is one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. The food here is always immaculate. The staff also has great chemistry & you see it in the service; they've always been proud of that. The rendang beef is easily my favourite item on the menu. The fried chicken is great, the pork belly bao buns are flawless as usual & the pork ribs are insanely addictive.
Satay Brothers is a must if you ever come to Montreal.
If you are looking for an establishment that truly captures the essence of'culinary tragedy' wrapped in a trendy, hipster veneer, then Satay Brothers on Notre-Dame is an absolute must-visit. It is truly a marvel of modern gastronomy-if your idea of dining is being served by people who seem to have taken a solemn vow of silence regarding flavor profiles.
?I approached this place with the foolish optimism that perhaps, just once, the hype might be justified. Instead, I was treated to a masterclass in how to ruin perfectly good ingredients.
?The chicken satay was a revelation, provided your definition of a revelation is discovering how much gristle, fat, & despair one can pack onto a wooden skewer. It was a texture-less abyss of oily dark meat-or what I assume was meat, though I've seen more structural integrity in a wet napkin. & the peanut sauce? Calling it bland is an insult to the word. A jar of store-bought, off-brand crunchy peanut butter possesses more depth, complexity, & soul than whatever beige, lifeless emulsion they dared to serve.
?& then, the'famous' pork bun. The only thing famous about it is the sheer audacity required to charge money for such a pathetic, uninspired excuse for street food. It is the perfect meal for someone who has never ventured beyond the comfortable radius of their own driveway & thinks a dash of soy sauce constitutes'international cuisine.' Having actually lived in Vietnam & Thailand, I can confirm: I have encountered street food in a literal sewer that possessed more authentic flavor than what I was served here.
?The grand finale was the garlic bok choy-or rather, the limp, morose pile of chlorophyll-deficient sludge that arrived at the table. It was clearly harvested, cooked, & then abandoned under a heat lamp during the dawn of time. A gray, flaccid mess topped with a'garlic' so aggressively jarred & devoid of character that I suspect the kitchen staff keeps a jar of garlic-scented sawdust on hand just to avoid the strenuous labor of peeling a fresh clove.
?If you have even one lingering shred of culinary integrity, do yourself a favor: stay home, eat a piece of dry toast, & save your money. It will be the most sophisticated meal you have all day.
Been there several times over a decade, love the food but recently find it not as tasty as before, especially when it is a group of 6 by reservation & served for testing menus (fixed menu, no choice)
Papaya salad, laksa soup & fatty pork bun weren't as good as remembered (not as tasty)
A little disappointed 😞
chicken & shrimp brochettes are always the best!
Seafood chow-mein was surprisingly good 👍
$600/6 people after taxes is what you're expecting (alcohol+taxes including)
We ordered the Beef Skewer, Char Kuay Teow, Laksa, & Steamed Bun.
Overall, the food was quite salty. The Steamed Bun & Char Kuay Teow were especially so. The Laksa & Beef Skewers were okay but didn't quite live up to expectations.
The service & environment were great though, with lovely themed decorations. It's a nice spot for gatherings & catching up with friends.
Overall it was a decent experience, just keep in mind that the food might be a bit much if you're not a fan of salty flavours.

On a commandé des Brochettes de Boeuf, du Char Kuay Teow, du Laksa & des Brioches Vapeur.
Dans l'ensemble, les plats étaient assez salés. Les Brioches Vapeur & le Char Kuay Teow étaient vraiment trop salés à notre goût. Le Laksa & les Brochettes de Boeuf étaient corrects, mais pas aussi bons qu'on l'espérait.
Par contre, le service & l'ambiance étaient top, avec une déco thématique vraiment sympa. C'est un endroit parfait pour se retrouver entre amis.
En gros, c'était une expérience correcte, mais si vous n'aimez pas trop le salé, c'e
11/10 experience. Hands down the best meal I've had in a while. Everything was so flavourful & the service was excellent. MUST HAVE the papaya salad, pork belly bao buns, & coconut mango black rice dessert. The chicken skewers & shrimp fried rice were great as well.
