Jackpot Chicken Rice - Toronto

I have to say that the service at Jackpot Chicken Rice was very good.

Can I please give 5 more stars to this restaurant? I have been putting off writing this review for 7 days because I simply don't know WHERE TO BEGIN.

Been wanting to try this place for a whileDropped in and had appetizers to see what all the hype was about.

Last year, Patois, the Jamaican-Asian fusion restaurant, had to temporarily close due to a fire. Chef and owner Craig Wong came up with a new concept - Jackpot Chicken Rice, specializing in Hainanese chicken. As a big fan of this dish, I was thrilled to hear about the opening of this new restaurant last fall.

We had an amazing time at this restaurant tonight. It is advisable to make a reservation as those without one had to wait for two hours when we were there. The atmosphere is loud and energetic. The decor is fantastic with unique light fixtures and colorful murals on the walls. We enjoyed our cocktails, with a choice of one red and one white wine by the glass or bottle. We opted for the red wine, which was reasonably priced and paired well with the food. We shared the dinner for four between three of us, and it was a delicious feast. Everything was excellent, but the tempura broccoli, bok choy, and chicken were standouts. The rice was also incredibly tasty. Definitely worth your time and money.
