I visited Jackpot Chicken Rice for lunch and have mixed feelings about it
The restaurant is decorated nicely and I like the fact that you can see the kitchen in action if you sit at the chef's counter.
Looking at the menu, I thought the prices were a bit on the high side (it is lunch afterall!). The namesake meal is asking for $14 for chicken with rice and soup, and the server convinced me that the $2 crispy skin add-on is "very popular and totally worth it", so that's already $16 before tax and tip.
The place was busy and it took a while for the food to come. The chicken and rice was luke warm, it didn't bother me but it might for some people. The chicken was delicious, very tender and absolutely picked clean of any bone, which made it a joy to eat. I did not enjoy the crispy skin - it did not add anything to the dish and was a total waste of money.
I found the rice "interesting", perhaps it is common (?) for dishes like this to use fractured grains, but to me it made for an unsatisfying chew and it took away from the deliciousness of the chicken. I think that if they are charging good money for this dish, they could have used a better grade of rice.
Overall, I enjoyed eating the chicken despite not overly satisfied with the priced I paid. For anyone who are considering visiting, I would suggest skipping the crispy skin.
