What people say, in short
Most people who name Jack's Chowder recommend it. Two diners single out the clam chowder and two praise the fish and chips, and one mentions the shrimp. Those who name a location mean Fraser Street, and one commenter says a second location has opened in the Bentall food court. A few raise reservations: one finds it nice but not especially memorable, one finds the chowder greasy and porky though some people enjoy that, and one was disappointed there was no halibut.
