Overall, Papa Jackie earns strong praise for flavorful Cantonese dishes, generous portions, and a consistently lively atmosphere. Many reviews note friendly, attentive service and fast dishes despite crowds, with BYOW and good value for money mentioned by several diners. A few diners point out long waits during peak times, crowded seating, small parking, and signs of busy turnover that affect comfort and speed, especially on weekend evenings. Dishes such as salt and pepper pork, general tao, seafood fried rice, duck, and the sour and spicy soup are frequently highlighted, while a handful report greasier meat or inconsistency in quality. Occasional takeout experiences are noted as decent to above average, with recommendations to order ahead or use delivery apps to avoid delays. Overall, the place is described as a reliable go to for Chinese cuisine, with great flavors and large portions, albeit with noise, activity, and occasional service or cleanliness caveats.

Bonne nourriture avec bon service & prix très raisonnable
Faites en l'essai & vous en serai sûrement surpris
Very poor service. We waited a long time & had to call multiple times before anyone came to help us. One of the
staff members had a very bad attitude & seemed unwilling to assist, barely responding to us. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
We are a party of three. We ordered steamed oysters (1 each), fried soft shell crabs, the famous chicken, beef & veggie, & stir fried rice noodles. & a fish soup.
The food is delicious. The serving is huge that we packed three boxes to go. Service is adequate. But it's expensive. The bill is around 180. That's the reason I didn't give the five star.
Tout était parfait!! La veille du jour de l'an chinois, un lieu rempli de clients & un service efficace! Les assiettes sont savoureuses, belles & généreuses! Wow! Enfin de vrais plats chinois!! Merci ❤?
J'ai commandé pour emporter le plat de boeuf à l'orange. Je ne m'attendais pas à manger autant de gras, chaque morceau était fait soit le tiers ou la moitié de gras!
Décevant!

Delicious fresh tasting Cantonese food! Parking in the lot is often packed & difficult to find. Restaurant as well is packed without a reservation most of the time for dinner service
Food is good but i was very disappointed when I ordered duck plate waiter said there was no more left but saw multiple ones be served to guests that got there after us...
Papa Jackie never disappoints. We were a group of 10, I reserved the day before. Didn't wait too long once we arrived. The crew was clearly overwhelmed, but still gave a wonderful service. Definitely recommend & it's a BYOW.
CHINESE NEVER CLOSE :)))
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅
We come here basically every week or so, & they might be the best Chinese of Southshore, & maybe even Montreal 😋
I wish the restaurant was ever slightly cleaner but I think its basically impossible, they wash it all the time its just with the quantity of people coming in & out theres bound to be signs of passage.
