"I took the Champlain Bridge to Brossard and found a BYOB, strip-mall spot called Papa Jackie offering a steady stream of Szechuan and Cantonese dishes alongside some Chinese‑American counterparts. Mercifully it doesn’t try to do everything—there’s no pad thai or bibimbap on the menu—and I urged skipping ubiquitous items like peanut butter dumplings in favor of highlights such as perfectly sweet-and-spicy XO sauce scallops and squid and a Peking duck with crispy skin and “juicy chops of bird.” I dubbed it “the community’s best kept secret” and declared it undoubtedly worth the trip to the 450." - Tim Forster
