I have made my way around many, many Asian restaurants in many different parts of the country and world. From Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Cambodian, and Vietnamese, I have had many different takes on these dishes. I must say that Jackie’s Galaxy on Mendon Road in Cumberland offers the most consistent, delicious Asian food around Northern Rhode Island. I have been dozens upon dozens of times and they have seldom dissapointed in terms of food, friendliness and quality.
I have tried a little bit of everything from Jacky’s food menu and there has been very little that I would not order again. From the sushi down, to the fresh spring rolls (Nime Chow) to the Vietnamese style soup (Pho), it tends to be delicious, fresh, consistent food delivered quickly, even at times when the restaurant is packed with patrons. For detailed individual food reviews see the rated dishes below.
The alcohol drinks, aside from beer, wine and sake, are standard Chinese restaurant fare (Scorpion Bowls, Mai Tai) and are frequently delicious with the appropriate amount of liquor to syrupy sweet added. Sometimes they may be more syrupy than others, but not too often. Most of the time the alcohol content is definitely noticeable. They’ve been playing around with drinks of the moment like Mojito’s and Sangrias lately but I have not tried those yet.
The majority of the waitstaff are extremely genuinely friendly, non-intrusive (as some other restaurants waitstaff who seem overly concerned with “acting” frendly and asking you how your meal is every 5 minutes) and, if you come often enough, have incredible memory as to your likes, dislikes and other details about you. Everytime I go to Jacky’s with my wife, they seem genuinely happy to see us return.
Overall, in terms of service, delicious and consistent taste and value for your money I cannot recommend another Asian restaurant in the Woonsocket, North Smithfield or Cumberland region more than Jacky’s Galaxie on Mendon Road.
