Jacky's Cafe - Halifax

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.

I adore this restaurant. The food and the atmosphere are just fantastic.

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.

I got mixed beef noodles soup it had shrimp dumplings and beef) for $17.20. Broth and shrimp wontons were delicious but the beef was hard to chew for me and I didn’t like the noodles they served. The traditional beef noodles soup is white noodles which I prefer. Staffs were really friendly.

Moved to NS from Toronto and I gotta say, the selection for authentic Chinese food is pretty slim. But Jacky’s Cafe is amaaazing! My fave is the shrimp wonton soup with pan fried dumplings, with a side of Chinese greens and the HK milk tea (cold). Highly recommended!!!!
