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.
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.

The food was excellent. The service wasn't. The kitchen was completely disorganized. We received one main dish before our appetizers & our 4th main dish almost an hour after the first 3. The management did try to make amends by offering dessert on the house.
Incredible selection of dishes & all freshly prepared. Highly recommend the new dish 'Kung Pao Chicken' absolutely delicious & so many fantastic flavours
Super ambiance & la nourriture est incroyable ! Le seul problème le service .... Très long sans aucuns effort vraiment dommage car le reste était super !
The host makes you feel welcomed with the right touch of attention that will make you feel like a regular & if you are a regular, they will make sure they know you are & that is that special thing that sets them apart. A very relaxed environment, great music (specially for hip-hop & RnB lovers), & there's an air of familiarity that you may even get with the rest of the customers. The food is always excellent & served with the same attention to details they are known for. Don't miss out!
Overall great vibe for a night out with friends! Service was good, food was decent although the wontons aren't worth it at all, we didn't try any of the cocktails since we stuck to wine but they have plenty of options. Only downside I would say is the music was extremely loud to the point that it was so difficult to even speak to the person next to you, but I understand that it's part of the atmosphere. Would recommend to try it out, but definitely not for everybody.
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 was excellent! Great menu, perfect for sharing.
Ambiance was good, a perfect place to go out with friends.
Service could be better but we're understanding of the current situation.
Recommend !!
