Jack Tan's location is a bit presumptuously hidden in the downtown core. Upon seeing a lot of people coming and going from there, I'd figure to step in myself to see what was offered.
It's apparent upon entering, that Jack Tan is set up to be a tapas bar instead of another Chinese restaurant. The place was packed during lunch hours when I arrived, but the staff did not match the capacity of the restaurant. I myself ordered take out to sample some of the dishes on the menu, and to avoid the slow service.
My order consisted of a couple of dishes, which were all Szechuan themed. I ordered the traditional shredded pork with garlic sauce and mapo tofu dish to test the authenticity of this restaurant. Unfortunately the food was not up to par with the price. All of the dishes were overly salty, and the fusion aspect did nothing for me, since it introduced little to no new twist on these classic dishes.
Safe to say, the experience was less than pleasant, but the restaurant itself is very nicely decorated. If Jack Tan's can control their sodium levels and put more emphasize on the fusion aspects of the food, they'd be very successful in a such a competitive area.
