Papa Jackie

Food is authentic, well-made with good ingredients here. We went on a weekday evening in the summer and the service was fantastic and the food came out quickly. While the food is enjoyable, I do find the flavouring a bit inconsistent. The seafood fried rice has a mild taste and that’s alright for rice, I just expected fried rice to have more flavour. Other dishes were very salty and too salty for my tastes -like the fried pork chops or eggplant. I would find it more enjoyable if the dishes were more consistently seasoned and certainly less seasoned for certain dishes. But overall, we still liked the food and the laid back, family-friendly atmosphere and will likely be back when we’re at the South Shore.

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 and 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, and 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, and 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 and 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 and helpful. Edit: useful info: they do not accept AMEX even though on the amex website, it says they do and its not written on the restaurant’s website.

I called for a reservation to avoid line up. I love the variety in their menu. Considering that the restaurant was full, the dishes that we ordered were served in less than 10 minutes. Our server was very attentive and accomodating. Value for money ✅️ Very clean (including toilet) ✅️ Well lit, nice interior, casual and lively ✅️ atmosphere

Papa Jackie offers decent Chinese food with consistently good quality. While the prices are on the higher side, the ingredients and 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.

Had dinner with my friends over there, food was amazing, will definitely go back again!

Delicious fresh tasting Cantonese food! Parking in the lot is often packed and difficult to find. Restaurant as well is packed without a reservation most of the time for dinner service

Ordered their set meals several times during holidays and events. Their food is quite nice and the price is pretty decent. You can order online as well.

Very good authentic food. Flavourful. The staff is very nice and 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.
