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.
Reviewers describe a lively and welcoming atmosphere at JIAO DIM SUM BAR, with attentive service, friendly bartenders, a strong DJ vibe, and drinks that many praise for flavor and balance; the food is often enjoyed for taste and variety, though a few reviews mention occasional kitchen inconsistency and higher prices, with some dishes seen as Westernized rather than traditional; overall it is regarded as a fun spot for a night out with friends or a date.
Tres dispendieux pour la quantité. 5 crevettes pour 30$. De plus, la quantité des verres de vin est ridicule, surtout pour le prix. Mais le gout des plats était bon. J'ai trouvé beaucoup d'os dans mon general jiao.
Unfortunately, the food was very underwhelming especially for the price points. Wouldn't mind the price if the food was absolutely exceptional. There are many other food spots in mtl with great food & more affordable. I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant to anyone else. If you improve the food it would be a way better experience because the ambiance & service was great! I also loved the music. I hope you're able to turn it around!
Je suis allée manger avec une amie à votre resto. Je tiens à vous dire que l'expérience a été des plus
intéressante, car la musique, le repas & l'endroit était très chaleureux.
Aussi, nous avons été servies une serveuse prénommée Yoursa qui a été d'une extrême gentillesse, courtoise & a l'écoute de nos besoins.
Comme par exemple, lorsqu'elle m'a suggéré un cocktail qui répondait davantage à mes goûts.
visited the restaurant for national dumpling day & it did not disappoint at all! The decor is beautiful & so is the food! They have delicious twists on dumplings & the presentation is absolutely beautiful!!

Excellent drinks & food. Bartenders are incredibly friendly & helpful. Jace made phenomenal custom drinks & recommended great spots around the city for tourists. Highly recommend.
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 was expecting more from this resto-lounge. The food was decent, & the service was great – friendly & quick. The DJ was good too. However, towards the end of our meal, a young busboy cleaned our plates, piled them up in front of us, which was gross & inappropriate. He seemed sloppy & arrogant. Additionally, my friend ordered the calamari for $24 but received a plate mostly filled with onion rings & only a few calamari. It was weird.
I really enjoyed our experience. Service, music, & variety of dishes were fabulous. My one feedback would be that the dishes were quite salty. I would've loved to taste the fresh ingredients more especially the lobster, but the soy sauce was overpowering. Great spin on traditional dim sum!
Tout était génial, mais les plats n'ont pas du tout été servis en même temps, il y a eu au moins 1 heure entre l'arrivée du premier plat principal & le dernier & les entrées sont arrivées à la fin
Bonne ambiance, certains plats sont intéressants. En par contre c'est infiniment trop cher pour ce que c'est. Notamment les duck sliders avec si peu de canard... 30$ pour ça ! Je me suis presque senti insulté par si peu de quantité.
Les nouilles sont aussi des nouilles instantanées croustillantes. J'ai mangé l'équivalent pour vraiment beaucoup moins cher ailleurs...
Bref, je ne reviendrai certainement pas.
