Satay Brothers Resto 3721 Notre-Dame

Amazing dinner at Satay B. !! Food was amazing. Vibes immaculate. I haven’t had such good and 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 and feels like it's straight out of a old classic Hong Kong cop action movie. The decor is awesome, the servers and staff are all willing to help you figure out what you want. We did a set course and we met the server pick the dishes for us and Boy we were not disappointed. Definitely stop by here you will not be disappointed! And 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, and 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 and atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend going there to everybody.

Apprently groups of more than 4 don’t get to choose what they want to order.
I’m a big fan of Omakase and seasonal menus but this was literally the regular menu items you just don’t get to choose…

Food was hit or miss, bao buns and 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 and it was good but wouldn’t recommend it anymore. Prices are way too high for the quality you’re getting.

I had been wanting to come to this place for a really long time (after watching Instagram reviews and the google rating). Honestly, it was okay or even below average, I would say. Loved the service and 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 and 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.

Come early on a Saturday cause it gets busy. The food was fantastic. Can’t say enough about the rice and fried chicken. You gotta try it. Place is bumping so expect to wait if you are late

Hip spot with fun atmosphere, loud though. Great food and lots of choices to split smaller plates which is always fun. Service was fast and friendly

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 and 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 and I was supposed to join her and 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 and 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, and proceeded to order.

As a quick side note, the prices on their own website are out of date, and 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 and center on the website prices are wrong, this would be a 5 minute html fix, but not done.

Nevertheless we ordered and 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 and rice to arrive, we actually had to ask them to check on the order, and 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, and 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 and more a night club that has food. The place is loud and quite chaotic, which is part of the reason I don't think service is great, it's too busy and 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 and 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 and 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 and I always try to find a strong counterpoint in my reviews to be as balanced as I can be, but I don

Absolutely surprising experience and will be going back soon.
The environment is a bit loud and busy for my liking. BUT the food was absolutely amazing. We have the latka soup, which was 10/10. Steamed veggies 10/10, mesemreng noodles ( pardon my spelling) and that was mind blowing. Lamb korma surprisingly was maybe...a 6/10. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Everyone is super happy and positive. Overall we had an incredible night. Thank you.
