A cheap Asian mix multi-​choice eatery that’s basic, clean, predictable, open late and again, cheap. It depends on what you’re after as always. It’s not a fine dining experience and there’s no great waiter attention. It’s also not downtown market Bangkok, it’s approachable no hassle fast Asian tucker.
You pick from a huge list of options off a larger than life menu then order and either have it brought to you or you collect it, depending on how busy they are. There’s plenty of seating and they’re licenced. The prices are all great/​affordable and unless you’re washing it all down with some alcohol you can eat for under $ 15.
No one at my table was disappointed with their food and the servings were generous. We went at around 8pm so there was no great rush or any waiting. It’s they type of place you go to because of late hours and/​or to ‘grab a quick meal’. My dish wasn’t memorable but I’d go there again.

Best鴨絲炒麵in town! Luvly design vz Chinese style that I like. Will visit again! Services r not really on track.

Clean place. Bad food. Unfriendly staffs.
Tried steamed chicken n steamed duck. Didn’t like it at all.

Tastes like chicken! Because it IS. I ordered the soy steamed chicken with rice and, because the eftpos minimum is $ 10, I made it a combo with a steam bun and (huge) can of «Peach Juice Drink». The bun looked.meh. Falling apart at the seams. BUT when I took a bite, the filling was delicious! So delicious, in fact, that I chewed right through the small piece of paper stuck to the bottom — note to self, check food for wrapping before consuming! The dough was a bit soggy in some places and I only ate as much as there was filling for. The chicken was tasty on the outside, but a bit (only a bit) dry on the inside. The star was really the ginger and shallot sauce on top. I wish they would’ve put more on though, because it’s not like the steamed vegetables and rice are bursting with flavour. So the food was decent. Service is crazy fast! Props to the lady with the bob cut who repeats your order before giving it to you. That’s a nice detail. It makes me sure that they got my order right. Now considering that the portions are generous, the service is fast and the food is all-​round delicious, you won’t regret you came!

I used to frequent Jackpot Noodles many years ago when I used to work around the corner, but since being moved out of the city, had not been back here for awhile.
The place has certainly changed (for the better). Their menu still caters for the budget conscious, although they also have quite a few more expensive (and tastier looking) meals on offer now. It’s also had a makeover, and is much trendier and more comfortable too!
The food is tasty and very good value for money. Service isn’t fantastic, but is not bad. It can get very crowded and noisy at lunchtime on a weekday, it’s popularity is certainly no secret!

used to be, if you were after a cheap quick lunch for under $ 7, this is your place
but note the menu has now changed and instead of about 10 dishes for $ 6.80, there are only two dishes that cheap, everything else is $ 8.50+ (which is still cheap for the city)
service can be quick if its not super packed
very greasy though, i cant help but think there has to be a ton of MSG, hence why i usually just get the BBQ pork with rice, you cant possibly go wrong with that.
A perfect place to take a group of mates to try a few different shared dishes, but not somewhere i would take a date

Firstly, it is fantastic to have roasted delicacies in the central of Brisbane.
In addition, there are noodles and rice dishes too.
Jackpot Dining is definitely not a ‘dining’ restaurant where you have attentions by the waiters. It’s a self-​service.
Really, it’s a great deal of having $ 10 for half crispy chicken with a bowl of steamed rice! Another dish was meat combo Hokkein noodle. Extremely disappointing with some of the vegetables in the noodle, first bite of that baby corn, I knew it’s from a can.
However, many city dwellers will find this shop very convenient to their business offices and the service is quick. Takeaways are also available.
You may question its ‘authenticity’. But com’on, when you are in a short lunch break, this should be alright!

I like Jackpot Noodles in this Albert street instead of the one in toowong. The meet seems more fresh here and the place is more comfortable.
It’s a self-​service Asian cuisine restaurant. There is a big screen of menu once you enter the restaurant. You are expected to choose from that menu and go to cashier to order your food. You will be given a number, but sometimes you will be give a buzzer. If you get a number, the waiter will deliver the food to your table, if you get a buzzer, you will have to pick up your food from the counter.
There is one small table section in the middle of restaurant where you can grab tissue paper, cutlery, soy sauce and chili flakes.
I’ve tried sizzling Mongolian beef, beef strips caramelized onion, roasted duck, roasted chicken, steam chicken, laksa, fish soup.
But my all time favorite is Sizzling Mongolian beef with steam rice!!! That’s the best with the chili flakes! Yum! It only cost $ 11.50 for the meal with rice. You can ask for tap water for drinks if you don’t like drinking soft drinks.
The different which I found from toowong shop and this Albert street shop, the sizzling Mongolian beef comes out real sizzling in Albert street shop, where the pot is very hot and you can hear the sizzling. In toowong shop it’s barely warm. That’s why I like this shop more. Also it has more seating compare with the toowong shop.

Jackpot offers quick takeaway or dine in options from 10am. They have a quick and efficient ordering system which usually ensures you are in and out with your food within 10 minutes. The food is delicious, fills a hungry stomach with food to spare. Staff are pretty focused on sticking to the ordering/​serving system they have set up so I wouldn’t advise straying too far from the program… less soup nazi and more Lord of the Flies if things get out of order.

Jackpot is one of my staples for weekday lunch while I’m at the office.
Decent range of Asian dishes for great lunch prices. Can get quite busy during lunch hour (of course) so if you’re taking away you get a buzzer to collect your meal when it’s done.
Not the place to go if you want amazing authentic flavours or anything special but great if you want a basic noodle dish for cheap.

Do you ever get those days when you want something familiar, simple, cheap and consistent? Well, when it comes to food at least, Jackpot Noodles in the city is my go-​to place. It’s not anything special, but that’s what makes it special– if that makes any sense? You’ve got your regular, average Chinese dishes all at one place, all at a cheap price, and all at its consistent taste. They offer simple dishes, but sometimes, that’s just what you want. You want that ‘Soy-​Chicken and Rice’ dish, a bottle of Coke and some ‘Sesame Toast’ on the side. Simple!
I go here a lot. I blame it on the fact that I’m so familiar with it and sometimes I don’t feel like anything in particular just something I can depend on to be the same. The customer service is not the best, but you don’t come here expecting it to be spectacular because it’s an extremely casual place to eat. It’s mostly filled with Uni students during the day or people on lunch breaks. At night, it’s much of the same; bunch of Uni students and a few couples on casual dates. There are many tables to pick from and you can enjoy city dining without the price tag.
