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.
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.
Good food, quick service, even in big groups, nice place but busy & crowdy. People love to eat there. However: TERRIBLE parking. Whoever drew the parking line, drew them for little fiats or scooters. Don't come with your big fat F-150. Good luck finding a spot. Also, some plates have a fair price & some are pricey. Prices did rise in the last year.
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
We visited Papa Jackie based on a recommendation & were pleasantly surprised. Although the parking lot was packed, we managed to find a spot just as someone was leaving. Inside, the restaurant is spacious, with plenty of room between tables, creating a relaxed & comfortable atmosphere. The food was excellent-everything we ordered was incredibly well-prepared & bursting with flavor. The quality certainly stood out, comparing favorably to similar spots in town. However, we did notice that prices were on the high side, & in some cases, the cost seemed disproportionately high. For instance, the lobster, which is understandably pricy outside coastal areas, felt particularly expensive here. Overall, Papa Jackie is a fantastic choice if you're after a high-quality meal & don't mind the splurge.
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!
