"This Chinese BYOB is worth the trek to the strip malls of the South Shore for the food alone; in fact, it’s Brossard’s “best-kept secret” according to Cult Montreal critic (and former Eater contributor) JP Karwacki. Look for classic Cantonese, Szechuan, and Chinese-American dishes — and plenty of seafood." - Holly Tousignant
"Papa Jackie’s compact, bright dining room off Taschereau Boulevard is better known for seafood specialties, though some dim sum dishes are on the lunchtime menu. Try the turnip cake, served in crispy pan-fried cubes and finish up with snow-pea vine leaves stir-fried with garlic. Since you’ve made the trek, ask for the daily soup served in a shapely clay pot, and a whole steamed fish for good luck." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"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
