What People Are Saying About Satay

The Scene – Chartreuse walls and magenta backlights give this narrow space a cool, modern feel. The open kitchen is so close you can actually hear your noodles sizzling, and the ambient soundtrack is occasionally interrupted by the rumbling of trains above. Delivery and takeout are popular, though the BYOB policy and a roomy back area make sit-down dining a comfortable alternative. – – The Food – Neighboring noodle shop Penny's is less expensive, but Satay hits a higher note with artfully presented, eclectic Asian fare. Coconut shrimp is a winning starter, lightly…
Great All Around
by critic786
Great Food; Great Service; The host, Rosie, was very sweet and courteous to our party and made our evening enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Horrible
by sf55
From the service to the ambience, nothing seems to be right at Satay. There seems to be no exhaust system in the restaurant and whenever something spicy is cooking in the open kitchen, you will smell it, cough it, and wear it (as it seeps into your clothing) for the rest of the day. The air conditioner doesn't work either. In addition, service is poor, sloppy and unhelpful at best, some people might use the word rude. Most importantly, they got my order wrong and didn't even think that was an issue to address. Every time the train goes by, your conversation will be drowned out by el noise. Avoid this place!! It is awful and more expensive to similar places with better service! Like another reviewer said, how does this place stay open?
- Pros: Beats me
- Cons: Rude wait staff, they bring out dishes different than what you ordered, your potstickers will still be frozen when they get to the table!
Terrific Food at a great price
