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.
Absolute must go! Walk the market & then come back here hungry to try everything on the menu as nothing disappoints. The satay is plump & juicy yet grilled to absolute perfection. The peanut sauce doesn't fight with the meats but nicely compliments the flavors. The laksa was so flavorful that the kids each are their own bowls & left no drop behind. The baos were so pillowy & the pork belly was incredible. We've come everytime we visit Montreal & the food & experience never disappoints.
Have been a few times now & it just gets better & better every time. Love sharing this gem with family & friends, knowing they won't be disappointed.
Bao buns are insanely delicious, papaya salad has so many layers of flavor & the Laksa soup will warm your soul.
Very highly recommend Satay Brothers for everyone!!

?Ce qui rend l'endroit spécial :

?Les incontournables :
?Les Steam Buns (Pork Belly) : Fondants, gras juste ce qu'il faut & parfaitement balancés par les garnitures.
?Le Laksa : Une soupe épicée riche en coco qui réchauffe le coeur, surtout en hiver.
?Les Satay : Les brochettes classiques avec leur sauce aux arachides addictive.
?Le service : Malgré l'achalandage constant, le personnel reste efficace, amical & garde le sourire.
Such a vibe! I loved the homey & friendly vibe when I walked in~ Everyone is packed pretty tightly in there though, so get ready to get close & personal. I thoroughly enjoyed the Laksa, pandan daiquiri, & the desserts [Kueh Bengka & the special (sorry forgot the name but was so good)]. Wish I could come back to try the other items!
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!!
Satay Brothers is hands down my go-to spot in the city. The food is unreal - full of bold flavors & totally worth what you pay. The vibe is always super fun & welcoming, & the decor is cool & laid-back without being pretentious.
You can't make reservations, so be ready to wait a bit - but honestly, it's part of the charm. & if there's a wait, there's a small bar right next door where you can hang out until your table's ready.
Must-orders? The bao buns, the laksa, & the Satay Ayam. But honestly, I've had everything on the menu & it's all amazing!!!!
Satay Brothers feels like a little hawker stall dropped into St?Henri. Color everywhere, sambal in the air, & the pork?belly bun/laksa combo hit all the comfort spots. Tiny room, big vibes-worth the wait in line.

This place is absolutely next level. Makes your tastes buds happy. The best Laksa soup for sure (should called the golden soup). The satay wow & juicy - I can go on & on. Oh yes the Beer too 😊. In NYC we got it all - but we don't have Satay Brothers. Wish they open up here. Felt like I was back in Singapore 🇸🇬.
A local resident's recommendation led us to Satay, a Singaporean gem that immediately charmed us with its warm & relaxed atmosphere. Our curiosity & hunger were quickly satisfied by a culinary journey that began with an exceptional Laksa. The broth was rich & fragrant, a symphony of spices that left us wanting more. The buns were another highlight, perfectly fluffy & paired with a tofu preparation that was nothing short of brilliant - crispy on the outside, tender within, & bursting with flavor. To complement our meal, we indulged in the Satay Lager, a crisp & refreshing beer that perfectly balanced the richness of the dishes. Satay delivered a truly memorable dining experience, one that we'll eagerly repeat.
Keith & Richard here, (ignore the Tristan name. I do that to fool friends)We just got done having dinner. Great to see you again. Our first time at the sit down location. Went right into the Lamb & Chicken Satay. Loved it along the Pork Bao buns.Meegoreng was great. Spicy but not over the top. The Laksa was very good, but missing a little of the creaminess of the broth & the Lemongrass flavor we remember at the Atwater outlet. Otherwise fantastic. Love the vibe of the restaurant. I'd say you guys are well loved by the customers for good reason. We hope to get up there in the summer sometime, but will easily go back to the restaurant. Best wishes for more success!

I had been wanting to come to this place for a really long time (after watching Instagram reviews & the google rating). Honestly, it was okay or even below average, I would say. Loved the service & the ambiance - amazing, wow 👌. It is a very beautiful restaurant but the food just didn't land on my expectations. It can't say I want to come back & eat this. I soo wanted it to be good but just didn't cut it through. Also, the price- quantity ratio was the other aspect that felt not balanced enough. All the dishes felt they were missing flavor. I'm pretty sure they can do better. The Laksa came in half portion as well, which looked more like a sample size but still thoughtful of them to have it. We wanted to order more but felt like we could get better tasting food somewhere else.
Apprently groups of more than 4 don't get to choose what they want to order. I'm a big fan of Omakase & seasonal menus but this was literally the regular menu items you just don't get to choose... Food was hit or miss, bao buns & laksa are okay but that's about it. 1 drink we ordered was good the other was bad. Service was not great. After bringing up that one of the drinks tasted off I was argued with about what was wrong with it. I've been here a few years ago & it was good but wouldn't recommend it anymore. Prices are way too high for the quality you're getting.
I had a gift card given to me, so I finally got around to going to the restaurant. I so wanted to like this place far more than I ended up liking it. I have had their food at the Atwater Market & in the Royal Victoria Hospital this was first in the actual restaurant. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday, as I paid for 2 hours of parking my wife went in to secure a seat. When I found her they had seated her at the front bar & I was supposed to join her & when I saw the arrangement even though the parking was paid for I got us up to leave. The staff suggested perhaps we'd be happier at the back bar, which admittedly was less busy, but still not what I wanted, but decided to give it a go. Having perused the menu earlier in the day & had already painted a mental picture of what I wanted, I wanted to try a cross section of the menu. I asked about how sharable the menu was, & proceeded to order. As a quick side note, the prices on their own website are out of date, & just about everything was a little more expensive, not to the point where I was shocked but there is nothing worse than finding the prices online are incorrect, this is in my opinion unacceptable. I'm not saying a photo of the menu that was out of date, I can accept that, I mean front & center on the website prices are wrong, this would be a 5 minute html fix, but not done. Nevertheless we ordered & then we were offered a table which we moved to. We had our laksa soup which was very good, a strong start. Next was a chicken satay sandwich, which was the beginning of the end. It was very middle of the road. Sandwiches have the capacity to be a star attraction, but this was middle of the road, too much peanut sauce not enough of anything else to really appreciate. Our order of vegetables of the day arrive. While waiting I ordered a Pandan Daiquiri, which was good. We waited over 20 minutes for our Rendang beef & rice to arrive, we actually had to ask them to check on the order, & it was still a few minutes before we had our "main" dish, by now the simple vegetable dish was cold. The presentation of the beef was lack luster, just laddled on to a plate with little to no ceremony, while tasting fine, it just looked kinda not so appetising. Lastly we took a kueh salat for dessert. Again while it tasted fine, it was not presented in any pleasant way, but still looked better than the beef. We paid, & we left. On the drive home I concluded that since I hardly had to pay that much due to the gift card, that if I had paid for the meal I would have been pissed off by what we had. During dinner I described the place as less a restaurant & more a night club that has food. The place is loud & quite chaotic, which is part of the reason I don't think service is great, it's too busy & full of people for the staff to be attentive. So I now have another Montreal restaurant I don't need to go back to. Since the pandemic I have felt less & less inclined to go to restaurants. We used to be so spoilt in Montreal, good food, good service, reasonable portions for a reasonable price. Now I struggle with this regularly & this place doesn't stand out enough for the prices, the portions are on the small side for the prices. I mean a plate of Asian greens for $11 is outrageous, it's cooked vegetables, on a ratio of about 6:1 of preparing it at home versus eating it in a restaurant, 3:1 maybe 4:1 is the most they should be charging for this kind of thing. I fear for the future of restaurants in our city, people may be willing to pay these prices but I don't think they have an appropriate appreciation of value. In any case this is my review & I always try to find a strong counterpoint in my reviews to be as balanced as I can be, but I don't think I have anything to add, I can't even say free ample parking.
Run don't walk to this gem. The fun atmosphere, incredibly warm staff, & not to forget the incredible food. You'll regret not eating here whether you're a local or just visiting. I had the chicken satay, laksa, papaya salad, & the pork bun. If I had room I would have eaten them all over again & a few more bites. Thanks for the nice meal Satay Bros!
