This place is always packed, even on a Tuesday night, but worth it! They don't take reservations in advance, unless it's for a group of 6 or more. The food is really good - we ordered papaya salad, karaage steam baos, chowmein, jasmine tea, chicken & shrimp skewers. Service was prompt. For dessert we had the mixed kueh platter (not too sweet but delicious). Everything was great. The atmosphere is lovely, but the restaurant felt pretty warm (we came on a summer evening in the middle of a heat wave though). I'd highly recommend this place - if you can get in.
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.
SO SO SO yummy! Loved everything about this place. Very busy for a Wednesday night but service was still on point & so was the quickness of the kitchen - I'm still thinking of the salad I had!
Original, exotique & délicieux. Très belle ambiance asiatique à l'intérieur, un chaleureux dépaysement! J'y suis allé plusieurs fois, mais ce qui reste toujours aussi bon est leur sandwhich bao, dont le pain & la viande sont si tendres. La dernière fois, j'y suis allé avec un groupe d'amis pour l'anniversaire de l'un d'entre eux. Nous étions assis à une table ronde avec plateau tournant (très convivial) sur laquelle sept services de plats à partager nous ont été servis. Salade de goyave fraîche, brochettes, poulet frit, bao, côte levées, curry de boeuf, nouilles au fruits de mers... tous les plats étaient plus débordants de saveurs les uns que les autres. Une belle soirée! Service OK. Prix salé.
Great restaurant. Love the vibe. The food is delicious. The pork bun is a must. The bun is nice & soft & the meat is a bit fatty which makes it really tasty. I also really enjoyed the tuna tataki & papaya salad. All the plates came out really fast. . The service is great & prices are very reasonable. This place never disappoints.
The food here is simply incredible. Cooked to perfection, heavenly tasty, perfectly greasy. Also the vibes are immaculate, the decor is so nicely curated, & the service is so friendly & just- I love this place. The papaya salad with pork was sooo tasty & refreshing, the pork buns were wow, the satay chicken was one of the best I've ever had. They do not take reservations, be aware that you may have to wait a good hour & a half on a weekend at peak time, but they have a bar where you can wait if you want.
We need more places like this in Montreal. The music, the people, the food transported you for the night. Only ick was the wait for our table, but they made up for it with everything else. Make sure to order the papaya salad & fried chicken.
Nous avons été soupé un mercredi soir, c'était plein, ça vous donne une idée à quel point ce resto est apprécié...avec raison! Nous étions 7 & malgré l'achalandage, le service a été rapide, courtois, la nourriture délicieuse, les cockails, wow. Au menu, nous avons essayé tout plein de chose, je recommande les Bun vapeur au porc, la salade de papaye, le laab & les cote de porc. Tout était délicieux & parfait. Je vais certainement y retourner.
I'm asian so I expect a lot from Asian food in terms of flavor. atmosphere wise it is a really hopping place to hang out. BUT for Southeast Asian food-- the flavors are only salty but not very nuanced & the portions are tiny. my friend got a chicken leg as a starter & for $5 they gave something that looked like one measly chicken wing. I got laksa & the soup was coconutey & fine. the shrimp was the best part-- lightly cooked great texture. but not enough noodles. three slurps & I am done the bowl. & way too many bean sprouts. papaya salad was the tastiest at the table. the vegetarian options don't even bother. gado gado had no flavor. tofu Bao is also flavorless. too expensive for what it was.
On est arrivé sans réservation & surprise.. Le restaurant ce soir là avait été privatisé, la salle d'à côté (une blanchisserie) au décor colonialiste & kitch à souhait (j'adooore) pouvait accueillir des clients, nous étions les premiers mais la salle a été vite remplie. Au menu, Bun vapeur au porc, salade de papaye & cote de porc. Tout était délicieux, mon seul regret était qu'on était sur une table près des toilettes & haute, trop petite pour accueillir tout nos plats. On y retournera surement mais dans la vraie salle j'espère & sur une meilleure table.
I went in without reservation on a Friday night. They told me the wait was about 1 hour, & that I could wait at the adjacent bar, & they'd come get me when it was my turn. I am so happy I waited, the food was delicious, with the papaya salad & the laksa being the stars of the meals. Atmosphere was great & the servers seemed so happy to be there, it made the dining experience that much better.
J'adore cet endroit! L'ambiance est toujours incroyable & le staff est généralement chaleureux. Je recommande vivement leur salade de papaye verte en entrée! Leur options végétariennes sont super bonnes aussi. La raison pour laquelle j'enlève une étoile est parce que la dernière fois que j'y ai été les plats avaient un goût « victime de leur succès »... La sauce dans les buns était beaucoup trop sucrée & celle du poulet frit trop salée. Peut-être qu'une nouvelle recrue a de la difficulté à doser? Sommes toutes, vaut votre argent. Bonne chance pour trouver du parking!
One of my favorite place in town. Everything is good. My fav the soup & the papaya salad. The playlist is amazing. The staff is so friendly. Its a must
Some of the best service in the city. Frank is one of the best waiters I’ve had at a resto in a long time. Food was great, don’t skip on the fried chicken steam buns or the papaya salad. We did a group menu, the quality & amount of food you get for 50$ a person is very worth it. Drinks were also great, moscow mule & spicy marg both 10/10. The music is good, the crowd is cool, the service was impeccable. We will be back for sure!

One of my favourites restaurants in Montreal.
The food is always delicious & fresh, the cocktails are really yummy. The service is excellent. The ambiance is pretty cool.
It could eat & breath their papaya salad.
I have brought many friends, dates, & it is always consistent. It never disappoints!

Restaurant bondé, même tôt en soirée. Pas surprenant, puisque le bouche à oreille au sujet de Satay Brothers est incroyable.
Nous avons partagé 7 plats à trois, ce qui était très correct pour nos appétits standards, pour un total de 66$ sans pourboire.
Salade de mangue, bouchées au tofu frites, ribs, pilon de poulet, sandwich au porc, brochettes sauce aux arachides, nouilles aux crevettes & calmar.
Tous les plats étaient bien exécutés. Cuisine asiatique authentique. La salade, les bouchées, le sandwich & les brochettes se sont distingués du reste. Je n'hésiterais pas à revenir avec des amis pour leur faire découvrir l'endroit & ces plats en particulier. Coup de coeur pour le sandwich de porc avec le pain moelleux & les concombres qui apportent une fraîcheur interessante.
Les ribs, le pilon de poulet & les nouilles avec peu de crevettes/calmar ne sont pas aussi dépaysants que le reste. (trois crevettes, trois rondelles de calmar pour 12$)
Le décor du restaurant donne l'impression d'être ailleurs.
Le personnel est jeune, dynamique & sympathique.
