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.
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.
Very poor experience at Papa Jackie. Does not live up to expectations at all. Everything is thickened with an insane amount of cornstarch, the seafood chow mein was essentially flavourless, the pork wonton soup was not flavourful either & the wrapping was very thick. Everything was very low quality, would not recommend.
All time favorite when we crave for Cantonese food! As one of us only eats seafood & veggie, so the family set is good for us to have steamed fresh scallops, fried fish fillets with salt & pepper, the soup is super yummy (蟹肉魚肚羮)! Usually on top of that we would order a beef briskets pot for dinner, & this time with two dim sum, Shrimp siu mai & shrimp dumplings. & the credit to the cashier lady who is so patient, friendly, helpful & polite all the time!
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!
Servers were really nice & the food came out very quickly.My family & I ordered- General Tao Chicken, Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Chow Mein with veggies, beef & broccoli, salt & pepper shrimp & fried chicken. Food was very flavourful & generous portions.
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.

Nous avons commandé via uber eats & avons été vraiment agréablement surpris. Nous avons commandé rouleaux impérieaux, boulettes de crevettes & porc siu mai vapeur & un plat de pad thai. Tout etait très chaud & frais. Les saveurs étaient excellentes, particulièrement pour les boulettes. Les portions son généreuses, nous étions 2 & en avons assez pour un dîner le lendemain. Clairement nous allons rééssayer, mais en restaurant.
