Was Anonym at Jacky's Cafe a mag?
I had heard good things about Jacky's, and it is in the same building with my chiropractor, so one day after my adjustment we stopped in for dinner. I had chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese, as it was cold and rainy. My partner had the egg rolls and Jacky's special chicken. We were both very pleased with our meals. Very tasty!

Beef noodle was amazing, even better with the chilli oil. I like how for takeout they separate the broth from the noodles and beef, and you Actually get a large portion when you pour it all out in a bowl
I really miss the beef and shrimp noodle soup a lot!
This is one of my favorite dining spots! The wonton soup is the best I've ever had, and the prices are very reasonable. I always make sure to eat here whenever I have to go to the professional center, even though I live 3 hours away. It's worth the trip!
If you are looking for some real authentic Chinese food, I highly recommend!! We had the shrimp noodle wonton soup, Jackys chicken with the fried noodles, curry fish balls, turnip cake, dumplings and hot sour soup.... and we were BLOWN away. Best turnip cake I've tried. I felt homesick and decided to try this place and I was not disappointed!! Staff were very friendly, and it was a cozy place that got very busy during lunch, but we had a great time and definitely coming back!!
If you are a fan of HK style cafe, this cafe is a 'must visit. ' I have a bowl of beef brisket noodle, a pan fried white carrot cake and a cup of HK style milk tea. In the case of the beef brisket noodle, the owner is so attentive that two options are available, namely, meat portion or tendon portion. I choose the latter. The brisket is so soft that an elderly will not find it difficult to chew. The alkaline taste of the noodle is absent so that you need not use red vinegar. The soup is so tasty that you are tempted to finish all of it. It seems that MSG is not used. (I am MSG sensitive). The pan fried white carrot cake is skillfully fried. The surface is crispy. The ingredients show the chef 's generosity and seriousness. The HK style milk tea is silky and not too sweet. A visit to this cafe is a delightful experience. The sunroom is sufficient and particularly joyful in summer.

The fried dumpling soup is fantastic! They were very understanding of my shellfish allergy, which can be difficult to accommodate. I highly recommend it!
The restaurant offers simple yet incredibly tasty dishes! I opted for the King Po Chicken, which consisted of chicken, peppers, onions, and noodles, but it was the sauce that really elevated the dish. The meat egg rolls were also fantastic. The service was friendly and attentive.
I can’t sing enough praise for this place. The soup has a deep delicious flavour, the meat is tender and amazing, the pork bun made me believe in a higher power. Eat here now.
Congee tasted good. If you are looking for some Cantonese Favour. Jacky’s cafe is your choice. In my own opinion Appetizer the chicken one can make it thinner. Services are good.
This is one of my favorite restaurants downtown Halifax. The food is delicious, no matter what I order. They are very busy but always quick to get your food. The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful. My favorite dish is the pork fried dumplings in noodle soup.

The staff is friendly, prices are fair, and there are many delicious vegetarian options available. I will definitely return to try more items from their menu.
This restaurant is a small hidden treasure located in the professional building on the corner of Spring Garden and Robie.
I had heard good things about Jacky's, and it is in the same building with my chiropractor, so one day after my adjustment we stopped in for dinner. I had chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese, as it was cold and rainy. My partner had the egg rolls and Jacky's special chicken. We were both very pleased with our meals. Very tasty!
I really enjoy their porridge, deep-fried bread, and shrimp wonton noodles. The milk tea is also a tasty option to pair with your meal.
I don't think I could ever eat in at Jacky's as it smells very greasy there, probably because it's such a small site. But I'm addicted to their wonton noodle soup - it's delicious and the shrimp wonton are plump and tasty.
