Papa Jackie delivers authentic Cantonese and Chinese dishes with large portions and generally flavorful results, earning praise for dishes like salt and pepper pork, salt pepper squid, chicken, beef with vegetables, seafood fried rice, and noodle soups; the place is often very busy, especially on weekends, which can lead to long waits and uneven service, and some guests feel prices are high for the portions. Takeout can be reliable but wait times can be long when the kitchen is slammed, and online ordering is possible through delivery apps; the BYOB option is appreciated by many, and the lively atmosphere, clean spaces, and fish tank add to the experience, though cleanliness and ambiance can vary with the crowd. Overall, Papa Jackie is considered a solid, reliable option for good Chinese food, especially for families or large groups.
the restaurant is nicely decorated & the staff were very nice. The bathroom was clean & they had a cool aquarium that you could choose your fresh talapia, lobster & crab from.
Their menu is very varied, from single plates to full meals for big families. & is in a few languages.
We tried Menu C for 2 people that was decently priced. It came with Wonton soup imperial rolls, general taos chicken, beef with vegetables, sezchuan shrimp & rice.
The wonton soup broth was very good but the wontons had no flavor & were very doughy.
The imperial rolls were better but they give you plum sauce in individual plastic packets like for take out.
The chicken was plentiful but just ok in flavor.
The shrimp is a bit spicy & the beef was tender. The vegetables with the beef were well cooked & had a tasty sauce.
All in all a big meal for a decent price. We found it to be'ok' & the people really nice. If you want a large meal for a decent price then it is worth trying.
Also many reviewers mentioned the wait time for a table, we were there on a Saturday around 4pm & we were sat immediately, by the time we were done it was filling up fast...
Un ami m'as voulu me faire découvrir ce restaurant asiatique authentique.
Quand il m'as dit le nom Papa Jackie je lui ai demandé s'il ne s'est pas trompé de restaurant.
L'accueil & le service impeccable, une fois commandé la nourriture arrive rapidement.
Nous avons pris la soupe aigre douce en entrée & j'avoue elle est très bonne avec un goût bien dosé de citron. La soupe n'est pas cheap comme certains restaurants, ici il y a même des crevettes à l'intérieur.
Par la suite nous avons pris crevettes géantes dans sauce homards, boeuf avec brocolis, chow mein Cantonais & riz steamer.
Tout étais excellent, c'est goûteux !!!
L'intérieur tout est propre (même les toilettes ) malgré que l'espace à manger est un peu petite compte tenu de la popularité de ce restaurant.
We ordered pork liver congee & Xiamen fried rice noodle which is quite good. While the noodles of flat rice noodles w/beef is hard & small in portions. The service of a waitress is particular good.
Les plats sont excellent & le rapport qualité/quantité/prix est très bien. Mention spéciale à leur soupe aigre piquante une des meilleures que j'ai manger.
A la lecture des avis je suis allée manger dans ce restaurant. Passer votre chemin. Nourriture sans goût & de qualité médiocre. La soupe wontons est vraiment grossière & sans saveur. Dommage je pensais me régaler. Les plats chinois achetés en grandes surfaces sont meilleurs.
