Jiao, is a dim sum restaurant-bar concept in Old Montreal. It will offer dumplings, bao (Chinese) buns and seafood dim sum in different ways. Beautiful large lanterns and a u-shaped central bar provide a great ambiance to eat or have a drink.
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.
DJ needs to read the room … I ask him to play some reggaeton some versatile music cause the early 200's vibe was dragging out nobody dancing. Just standing still bopping heads. PLAY SOME BAD BUNNY SO PPL CAN DANCE
We had gone for my friends birthday supper - & it easily gets a 5⭐?. I was equally impressed that they were able to accommodate our group of 20 given the size of the place; but it was very comfortable. The food is insanely good - super tasty. The music is great. The service was good. The vibes were good. I would strongly recommend a visit to this place - the food alone makes it worth it.
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!
Jiao dim sum bar is one of the greatest bar I've ever visited in Montreal ! The vibe, the service & also the location is one of the most unique places I've ever went. Would 100% go there again 🫡

Always a go to spot for food/ vibe when I'm in mtl! Service & atmosphere is always a 10/10. Our waitress Jaid !! Was amazing, super friendly & attentive! Made sure we were well taken care of the whole night, best service. Thank you so much Jaid for bettering our experience!
Beautiful location. The ambiance is great, with a bomb playlist for those born in 90s & 2000s. There is no way you can be feeling down with their playlist. The food is good, it's not great. Definitely a bit overpriced for both food & drinks. However, since it's a whole vibes + food package it is definitely worth visiting. Our server, Melissa was fantastic & the manager is very kind too. We got free shots towards the end of our night which was nice

This is a place you want to try for it’s great food with excellent mix of Asian menu, the amazing ppl serving you & providing you an experience … great vibe with good music & bar!
Great combination of flavours on the dishes & descent cocktails. Good place for a nice dinner but be careful, be sure to be out before 10 pm because then the music volume goes up, & it's party mode & difficult to have a conversation. That vibe is also great if you want to have a nice 10 to 12 pre party meal, especially with friends.
