Papa Jackie

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.

First time eating here in June 2025 the restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff were very nice. The bathroom was clean and they had a cool aquarium that you could choose your fresh talapia, lobster and crab from. Their menu is very varied, from single plates to full meals for big families. And is in a few languages. We tried Menu C for 2 people that was decently priced. It came with Wonton soup imperial rolls, general taos chicken, beef with vegetables, sezchuan shrimp and rice. The wonton soup broth was very good but the wontons had no flavor and were very doughy. The imperial rolls were better but they give you plum sauce in individual plastic packets like for take out. The chicken was plentiful but just ok in flavor. The shrimp is a bit spicy and the beef was tender. The vegetables with the beef were well cooked and had a tasty sauce. All in all a big meal for a decent price. We found it to be "ok" and the people really nice. If you want a large meal for a decent price then it is worth trying. Also many reviewers mentioned the wait time for a table, we were there on a Saturday around 4pm and we were sat immediately, by the time we were done it was filling up fast...

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.

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.

Great service and delicious food! We were a group of 8 ppl and the amount of food that we ordered and received was very satisfying.

Had dinner at Papa Jackie, they were very busy, and probably short of staffs for the traffic. We ordered five dishes, the food was very tasty and well done, on the salty side for me, but goes well with rice. The service is average due to short staffs, so customers have to be more patient.

We ordered pork liver congee and Xiamen fried rice noodle which is quite good. While the noodles of flat rice noodles w/beef is hard and small in portions. The service of a waitress is particular good.

If you love Chinese food this is certainly a great place to go. Seafood fried rice is next level delicious and the peanut butter dumplings are fantastic. Many great options to choose from as well.
