Les avis sur Satay Brothers convergent vers une expérience vivante et chaleureuse où la nourriture est à la fois délicieuse et variée, avec des coups de cœur récurrents pour les bao buns, le laksa, la salade de papaye et les satay; l'ambiance est festive, colorée et parfois bruyante, idéale pour des sorties entre amis ou en famille et pour les grands groupes grâce au menu partagé; le service est généralement rapide, attentif et souriant même en période d’affluence, et le décor évoque un marché asiatique moderne; les plats peuvent être servis en continu dans le cadre de menus de groupe, les options végétariennes et adaptées aux restrictions alimentaires étant appréciées; quelques avis mentionnent des portions modestes par rapport au prix et une certaine attente lors des soirées très occupées, mais l’ensemble des retours s’accorde sur une expérience culinaire remarquable et une atmosphère unique qui donne envie de revenir.
I got recommended by a friend I made on the train to Montreal. Wow! The food was amazing! We ordered the fried curry rice, beef/chicken satay skewers, mussel curry, & fried chicken.
The fried curry rice with the spicy sauce & mild salt. It's great & savory because I love to eat spicy food. I do not recommend to put a lot of sauce in the fried rice if you cannot handle spicy, but you should try out a bit because it's more flavourable with a bit of spicy & sour.
The skewers were delicious! The beef (juicy) & the chicken were marinated well & not too dry, not too salty & balance taste with the peanut & creamy sauce.
For the fried chicken, it has balance of sweet & salty. Its sweetness isn't thick & you can still feel a bit of crispness in the skin.
The best dish that we had is the mussels curry! We got recommended by a server & decided to try out. The first bite combined the rice & the curry soup, it's delightful & aromatic. The soup wasn't too creamy & salty. You can see there's a bit of oily in the soup. Also, there are bell peppers pieces inside the mussels but you do not taste them at all due to the overwhelming of curry taste.
The restaurant is louder than the other restaurants I've been but the conversation is still audible. I especially love to currency collection wall that they have. Such a diverse community!
I usually don't write this long review but I am impressed by the taste of the food. Will definitely recommend to try it out!
I had dinner at Satay Brothers on a Friday evening. The restaurant has a nice, vibrant vibe, it's definitely lively & noisy, which fits the weekend energy, but it also felt a bit too crowded.
I ordered the shrimp fried rice. The portion was on the smaller side, & although the price was reasonable, the dish itself was quite spicy. It only came with three shrimps. The rice was well-cooked & had a nice crunch to it, while the shrimp were tender. The flavors & spices were okay, but nothing impressive, I've definitely had better versions elsewhere.
Overall, my experience was okay. The place feels a bit overrated to me. The service, however, was good. Would I come back? Probably not.

This place has incredible atmosphere amazing staff & even tastier food - it's a very trendy vibe with a chill lay back touch -lighting great & music is a perfect level. THE FOOD, it's amazing I can not reiterate enough how great - please please try the pork buns & the fried rice ! Sooo great our server Mason was lovely & Frank provided an extra touch of care to an amazing service.
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 :(
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!!
The food was great & so was the service. The chicken satay skewers were probably the best thing we had. The bao buns were very good as well. The fried rice was good but not our favorite thing on the menu.

Come early on a Saturday cause it gets busy. The food was fantastic. Can't say enough about the rice & fried chicken. You gotta try it. Place is bumping so expect to wait if you are late
One of the best restaurants in Mtl!! The vibe, music, service, & of course the food were all amazing. Every time I go, this place never disappoints! Would highly recommend going with all your friends, the food is to die for :) We ordered the pork belly steamed buns, Kolo mee noodle soup, fried rice & pork ribs. For the dessert, we had both Kueh Bengka & Salat 😋 I also once tried the set menu & it is so worth it, You get a bit of everything!!
Myself & 8 others enjoyed the 9 course menu. They were very tasty & varied, however some of the portions felt small, such as the fried rice. Service was amazing, our waiter did a great job. The atmosphere was nice but the music was extremely loud, couldn't hear my friends.
The food was good, although the kitchen seems to have a heavy hand with sugar. The ribs, in particular, were too sweet, but there were other slightly sugary meat dishes, such as the skewers. The fried rice is wonderful. I have never had one like it. Most disturbing about the restaurant, though, is the level of noise. I have been to nightclubs where the volume was lower, & public health should inspect to ensure that it is at a safe level.

Killer flavours & nice atmosphere at fair prices, kid friendly too. **UPDATE**: 10 year later review update - bumping up to 5 stars. This really is one of the best restaurants in the city. Amazing & super consistent food (we're 10y+ regulars at this point). One of our favourite restaurants in the city. Great bold & bright flavours from an under-represented cuisine here in Montreal. The laksa, pork buns, satay sandwich & papaya salad are all standouts. Also, the fried rice (which changes up regularly) is amazing, truly awesome. The vibe is great too. Vibrant but laid back atmosphere, great with the family/friends earlier in the night, then it becomes a really fun evening spot with a lively clientele, a good bar & good times when the sun goes down. When people are visiting Montreal for the first time & ask for restaurant recommendations, Satay Brothers is always on the list. Not to be missed, one of our best. I'll update this review in another 10 years!
May 2024: Pisco sour was great, Char Kuay Teow noodles had plenty of sausage but not much seafood, was sweet. Papaya salad was nice & crunchy. March 2024: Gorgeous decor, inviting atmosphere, friendly efficient staff. My Pandan cocktail was delicious, the tamarind one just tasted like sugar. Had the group menu. Beef cubes, pork Bao buns, ribs, chicken skewers, fried rice were delicious. Mixed noodles & vegetables (rapini?) were okay. Fried chicken was pretty disappointing. Plenty of food overall though, very full by the end.
I was here with TheRajEats FoodiesGiveBack & the entire experience was superb. The food was so fresh & flavourful, & the dishes nicely complimented each other. Especially liked the ribs & fried rice. The cocktails were also very tasty & well balanced. The service was just as good as the food. Despite the place being absolutely packed on a Friday night, the staff was very attentive & service was timely. Highly recommend for a quick meal or a group outing. Be warned, though - it's a lively & LOUD place.
Our last night in Montreal & we were blown away by such a cool place with 100% delicious foods! Such a treat - we were sad to have found them at a late stage & wish we could take them back to England with us!
We had the chicken satay, green papaya & pork & chicken laksa & chefs fried rice - so, so good!
The staff were also so lovely & friendly!
We arrived for supper at around 6 & they were very busy.
