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.
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.
Initially we went to the restaurant to sit down, but understandably, there is a long wait for a table on Saturday night, so we ordered take out instead. We ordered Yin Yang fried rice & dried fried beef noodles.
Usually food is always great here. Food for this takeout is decent today. i would say above average compared to other Chinese restaurants.
Had to wait over 20 mins to write down our takeout order because kitchen close at 9pm on Saturday night, & they said they are too busy usually on Saturday night in the last 90 mins before kitchen close. Received the food only after close to 40 mins from the time we arrived.
I would suggest, dear readers, that on Thursday to Saturday night, order takeout instead of dining in, & go straight to the Cashier counter where you pay for the bills to order takeouts. Absolutely do not expect the waiters to take your takeout orders. You will wait a LONG time.
I would also suggest you order the food from Fantuan or UberEats through deliveries to save yourself the wait time of the food, because it is a long wait in evenings. (Price for UberEats & Fantuan is similar to restaurant takeout or deliveries, no markups in the app like other restaurants :)
Lunch service usually is pretty good service.
The counter lady with glasses was the onky person who was very nice & helpful.
Edit: useful info: they do not accept AMEX even though on the amex website, it says they do & its not written on the restaurant's website.

A total surprise to find good Chinese cuisine under such a name... unless of course the owners are diehard fans of Jackie Chan. Jackie the Ripper of ducks?...no. But the three course duck meal is such a delicious journey through the realm of flavors...
If you love Chinese food this is certainly a great place to go. Seafood fried rice is next level delicious & the peanut butter dumplings are fantastic. Many great options to choose from as well.
Papa Jackie offers decent Chinese food with consistently good quality. While the prices are on the higher side, the ingredients & preparation generally justify the cost. The parking lot is quite small, which can be frustrating during peak hours. Service used to be more attentive in the past - it's still acceptable, but not quite what it used to be. Overall, a reliable option if you're craving Chinese, especially if you're prioritizing quality over price.
For a city like MTL that's pretty much a Chinese food dessert, this place really stands out. The flavors are great, light, & super comfy to eat-definitely has that Cantonese vibe. The dishes are a bit pricey, but honestly, it's still a 10/10 for me!

Would recommend this restaurant 100%. One of the best Chinese restaurants in brossard if not in montreal. Just order anything on the menu & you won't be disappointed.
Did take out.. food was not good for the price paid.. I heard good things but maybe it was a very OFF day.. but cost me a lot of $$ to eat below par Chinese food.
My family has been eating here for years & it`s by far the best chinese restaurant on the south shore you should definitely check it out food is good, the service is good as well. That being said we are a little disappointed that they keep raising prices frequently while portion sizes have gone down at some point last year. I order the same thing every time June 2024 - my order cost 53.xx$ July 2024 - my order cost 55.xx$ December 2024 - my order cost 60.xx$ In 5 months the prices went up 12% & they were already up since last year & the year before. If it continues like that eventually we will have to consider a different alternative
Very good authentic food. Flavourful. The staff is very nice & courteous. Definitely a great spot for friends/family but not for anything romantic. My biggest complaint is that the price is extremely high per item: about 30% higher than most Chinese restaurants in the same quality bracket.
Best Chinese-style seafood feast restaurant ever! It was SO AMAZING. The Hong Kong-style crab was insanely flavorful 😋. I'll definitely be back with more people for another feast!
Best Chinese restaurant in Montreal Everything I ordered was really delicious. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Montreal. I want to go there right now. You have to go here. It's really crowded.
