Review Summary

Jiao Dim Sum Bar is described as a lively and inviting spot with a chic, cozy vibe where the atmosphere, music and bar scene make it a great choice for a night out with friends or a date, and the service is frequently praised as quick, friendly and attentive, with strong cocktails and welcoming staff contributing to the scene, though a few reviews mention occasional delays or confusion during busy periods. The food is generally regarded as flavorful and well executed, with many dishes earning praise and some standout cocktails and house specials, while a minority of dishes are described as inconsistent or overpriced. The overall impression is that Jiao offers a memorable ambiance and energetic nights, with live DJs keeping the energy high and the crowd feeling social, making it feel like a top Montreal spot for groups or couples. Price and portion concerns appear in several reviews, and some diners note areas for improvement such as seating, cleanliness or menu clarity, but the positive balance between vibe, drinks and tasty bites keeps many returning. In sum, Jiao Dim Sum Bar is seen as a place to enjoy great drinks, a lively atmosphere and flavorful dishes, with a few caveats about value and consistency.

Le Jiao est un restaurant avec une très belle ambiance. La nourriture est très bonne, les boissons sont excellentes & le service est au rendez-vous. Une très bonne adresse pour passer un bon moment.

Food is fine, but these guys don't care about their neighbours. Music is okay on weekends, but it so insanely loud during the week. Sunday -Thursday is just unbearably loud. I can't imagine setting foot in that place & actually giving them money for anything. Any place that doesn't value their neighbourhood is not worth their weight in salt. Go somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Great food & awesome atmosphere.
Really noce setting if going with a group or on a date. Tasty cocktails & great food, only downside was the busboy wanting to clear tables (even though we were discussing, having a great time, & the restaurant was empty).
Would try again

J'adore ce restaurant! J'y suis allée 2 fois & c'est toujours une super expérience. La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, le staff est incroyablement gentil & accueillant, & l'ambiance est juste parfaite. La musique est bonne, l'endroit est cozy & on s'y sent bien dès qu'on entre. Je le recommande à 100 %, c'est devenu un de mes spots préférés à Montréal.

So disappointed I wanted to do my birthday here reached out by email twice no answer spoke to the manager by phone he said he would sent me the menu & confirm reservation & never got back to me called again & was never called back
Very dismissive & unorganized. EDIT: you've never answered any of my emails up until I left the previous review, & clearly stated that my message was in your spam folder so you'didn't receive it'. No information was ever shared with me at any point in our conversation

Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
The service was quick, friendly, & super attentive. The food was delicious from start to finish, & every dish came out fresh & full of flavor. The cocktails were on point-well-balanced & so good I could've had another round. The whole vibe of the place is just perfect: fun, welcoming, & a great spot to enjoy a night out. Highly recommend!

If u r a tourist, doesn't care much about authentic Chinese food, cares more about chilling at a bar over overpriced food, fine.
But as a Chinese who cares about food, it would be stupid to EAT there again. I have no issue with it's service & environment. While for the food, it's basically a westernized bar serving FAKE Chinese dishes. To make the matter worse, it's stupidly overpriced & tasting boring. 3 chicken wings costed 27$ + tax & NO rice ! How lucrative is that? & want rice? Sure, 5$ a tiny bowl! How about other things? Yea, 4 fried dumplings for $20 🤯I've been to countless bars serving foods, but rarely had I had foods so overpriced in such places.

Went there with my friends for a birthday dinner. Everyone was happy with the food they got & personaly I think the food was amazing! It wasn't super busy because I think we went too early, but for us it was perfect since we could hear each other talk & didn't have to scream! Will go back for sure

Have been wanting to go here forever & I am quite disappointed.

To start off we got there at 8:15 & it was completely empty, I later came to the conclusion that it only got busy the later it got.

We got sat at the only secluded spot in the restaurant.

We all got plates to share. We ordered the fried calamari, chinatown crispy shrimp, edamame, beef gyoza, beef & broccoli, chicken wings & the filet mignon chow mein. Everything was very hit or miss.

The fried calamari tasted like fish with a super thick coat of batter. It just did not taste like squid at all. The shrimp also had the exact same taste, I find. The beef & broccoli was good, alongside the chicken wings & edamame which were amazing. The beef gyoza was meh. The filet mignon chow mein could've been good, but the meat tasted extremely strange.

It got busier & busier as the night progressed. In terms of service, it was just ok.

Would not come back
