I'm quite shocked to find a place that serves something very close to authentic Asian food. Most Asian places you find in non-Asian populated areas will cater the dishes towards the residents. So, a Mexican neighborhood with a noodle house will add some Mexican spices/flavor to cater to them. Therefore, you get non-authentic food!

I was very skeptical at first. Especially since they have Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes but I must admit, they did a fairly good job based on what I tried.

Huge menu! Bring a Tylenol because you'll have a headache figuring out what to order. LOL.

Here's what my party ordered:
1) Clams in black bean sauce - Yum! Totally tastes like how it's served back in California. Pair this sauce with a bowl of rice and you're set.
2) Crispy chicken with red pepper - A little on the salty side but still good. It's basically fried chicken.
3) Sashimi regular - 18 pieces of mixed Sashimi. The fish was very fresh. Can't complain there!
4) Thai iced tea - The real stuff! Not sure if they make their own or buy the pre-made ones but this one is good.
5) Dragon Roll - I think this was my only real disappointment. I'm used having the eel wrapped on the outside. What I got resembled the Caterpillar Roll with avocado wrapped on the outside. Oh well.

Being a Sister to the Original, This is as good as the original. Having the new Sushi Bar made my day. I love Sushi and usually only go to a STRAIGHT OUT Sushi shop but they actually had descent pricing and fresh Sashimi,.. Yes it was good. Decent decor. The menu is the same, great diversity all is pretty much a safe bet it'll be good. Great Great selection. The prices are good also and the service is always consistent. Good for large groups and family/kids. Plenty to choose from. Would i go here for AUTHENTIC THAI... NO.. but for westernized variations its good. The Cambodian and Vietnamese  good. Its better than the local Chinese shop bugt not as good as a specialty shop for THAI, VIETNAMESE or CAMBODIAN... good for the overall selection, I Recommend ***** 5 STAR.

Jacky's Galaxie is my favorite asian restaurant. The food is always fresh and never soggy or over-saturated in juice.

My favorite dish is the Chicken Pad Thai, extra spicy. I don't like pad thai from ANYWHERE but Jacky's. I was afraid this location wouldn't be as good as the Bristol location, but I'm happy to say it all tastes just as delicious.

They also have amazing chicken lo mein (very fresh, not soggy), very tasty sweet & sour chicken (chicken balls instead of fingers) and super creamy crab rangoons.

I like my spareribs a little thinner and a little more saturated in sauce, so these aren't my favorites.

i don't like sushi, but a friend of mine gets it from there all the time and loves it. Says you can tell it's hand made to order and not sitting around for days in a refrigerator.

I can't say anything for service cause I've never dined in to this location, but the lady at the front desk is always nice :)

What do I like about Jackie's? I like the noodles especially the nim chow  , beef cantonese noodle dry, and of course the pad thai. Everthing is consistent and delicous. Hot and fresh... Yum.. i love authentic asian food.

I love this restaurant!  Its kind of a fusion of asian cuisines so if you're in the mood for Chinese but want a little spin on it try here!  Their paper wrapped chicken is sooo good!
