Jackson Market: Reviews & Ratings
Fast friendly service and everything is prepackaged. Parked outside in the white zone. Got what I wanted and chatted with the couple at the counter and was on my way. My relatives love this stuff as they have fond memories of driving in from Salinas, making a trip to Chinatown and always a stop here to get beef jerky for their ride back!
What I can only describe as the best beef jerky ever! I've enjoyed this beef jerky many times over the years but this was my first time inside Jackson Market. I'd highly recommend, it's the only beef jerky I like!
It's down right tough to find GOOD Chinese Beef Jerky anymore. It's actually almost impossible as Jimmy's Beef Jerky out of Vancouver Canada closed its doors back in 2005. This was a childhood favorite back in the 60's. New York City Chinatown has pretty good jerky but it's far to go although years ago I use to have it mailed to me by a friend. Trudging up Jackson Street to get to this market is worth it. The jerky is not as thin as Jimmy's but worth buying just the same. It's now $17 for 6.5 oz. Take a walk here is great exercise. It's a smallish corner store.
Famous beef jerky made in a Chinese style. Always consistently good. Mail order service may be a bit slow.
Tasted their spicy beef jerky as a gift from a coworker and fell in love! The sweet glaze is so good. The jerky also has a nice crimson color, which was pretty to look at as I teared it into smaller pieces. Visited their store for the first time on a Wednesday around 2pm and parked in front of the store by the yellow curb marked 30 min parking. Inside the shop, they also sold other items which I didn't pay attention to. A girl came out from the room behind the register to greet me. Too bad they ran out of the spicy ones so I bought a large bag of the original ($15), which weighs about 6.5 oz. Yes, this was a bit pricey for beef jerky but hey, it makes me feel good to support a local business that is good at what they do. The original is a little too sweet but still tasty. Hopefully they will have the spicy ones in stock next time I visit ~
Chinese beef jerky is delicious...I swear the texture has changed over the years from the days my parents used to get it back in the 80s (chopped meat and re-formed into sheets vs thinly sliced meat...but i could be wrong!) but the flavor seems to be consistently good and the way i remember...slightly tastes like korean bulgogi...sweet, salty with soy. Yum! Fortunately, my "sis" surprises me every Christmas with this addictive treat and i make sure to ration it until at least the end of January! Its that good!
