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.
11/10 experience!!
I went to Jiao to celebrate my anniversary with my man & had the best time.
The food is prob some of the best in mtl no lies
Service was top knotch!!
Will forsure be coming back & recommending to friends & family!
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.
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.

Good was good but I've had better bao, etc elsewhere. For the price could have been better. Seating slightly uncomfortable. Waitress was not helpful & we ordered wait too much as a result. Plates were much bigger then she let on.
