Review Summary

JIAO DIM SUM BAR comes across as a lively Montreal spot with a bar vibe, great music and a vibe that works for groups or a date night. The service is frequently praised for speed and friendliness, though a few reviews mention slower moments during busy times and occasional miscommunications. The food earns broad admiration for flavor and freshness, with many dishes described as tasty and enjoyable, while others note inconsistency and some items being overly salty or not meeting expectations, and some diners feel the menu tilts toward a Westernized style. The cocktail program is a standout for many guests, delivering well balanced and creative drinks that complement the lively setting. Ambiance, energy and overall experience are repeatedly highlighted as positives, while a minority of patrons express frustration with price, portion size or specific dishes. As a result, JIAO DIM SUM BAR remains a popular choice for a night out in Montreal, with strong praise for vibe and drinks but mixed opinions on food value and consistency.

Good food, good drinks, GREAT service. The servers were really friendly & on top of it.
One downside is the music for really loud around 8pm as a DJ came in (Friday night). Not the best for trying to catch up over dinner...

Food is amazing, ambiance is cozy, nice music & vibe. Service from the manager or hostess was pretty rude. He was rushing us to leave in a non professional way. Luckily our bartender/waitress calmed the situation & offered us drinks.

Great atmosphere & decor. Cool dim sum ideas. This place is ideal for people looking for a fun, effortless night out in a nice bar to drink & eat food you won't see anywhere else.

Food was good .. drinks allright but 22$ for a double that really looks like a 1oz drink to me .. & the staff.. we were tell that we have to leave for 9h30 before that he even say hello to us or anything so we understood that customer service was really not is thing! The place was very not empty. I own restaurant, I go in every restaurant in MTL & I know how to respect my customers & truly the guy treated us like he judges us, big mistake here. So sad because food was good ...

This place is definitely more a bar than a restaurant. We went for a birthday dinner & I wouldn't recommend to do so. The food was good but a bit pricey for what it is. Also very disapointed because out of 3 white wine they serve by the glass, they did have 2 in stock & the saké was warm & we had to wait for it to cool down in ice before drinking it. Service was average
