I had dinner at JIAO two nights in a row. A friend & I were visiting Montreal & a local recommended JIAO. They did not disappoint. I had the vegetable Chow Mein with mushrooms & veggies & my friend had the wings & the beef & broccoli. We were both very impressed. The next night I had the vegetable fried rice & he again had the wings & the dumplings. I highly recommend. The manager was so welcoming & friendly to us!

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.

Heads down the best resto bar in Montreal. Atmosphere is unmatched & the decor is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't expecting much regarding the service, but was pleasantly surprised! The staff is super welcoming & warm, very friendly, yet attentive & very efficient. The food is, quite simply, extraordinary. Their new wagyu dumplings are a must try! Every dish i ordered was amazing, blending the rich flavors of Asia with a contemporary twists that surprise & delight. Even as the music start to get louder, the quality of the food remains unforgettable. The bar is no less impressive, heads down best cocktails i've had in Montreal. Overall unmatched ambiance, best DJ with nice lighting & great ventilation. Place is spotlessly clean & impeccably maintained. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the experience justifies every dollar. 10/10 recommend my favorite place in Montreal by far!

Beautiful bar with insanely great chinese fusion! My server Lena was absolutely amazing & constantly checked up on me to make sure everything was fine! Lena told me they were known for shumai & dumplings so I ended up ordering a wonton rose soup & it was AMAZING; I have never had any soup with such delicious broth so make SURE to get it! The fried rice was a little underwhelming & a little cold; but it was still good. The eggroll & peking duck buns are also great.

I am glad we went to eat at Jiao Dim Sum Bar at 7pm. The food portions were small but big in size. Delicious Sui Mia, Gyoza, Lobster Dumplings but the winner of the night was the Royal Louis fried rice!! As the night progressed, it started getting packed & the music got louder.
