Our waiter Jake was just perfect, there when you need him, attentive but not overbearing, and he knew the menu well. The food was interesting and excellent, most definitely not anything you could make at home. And ping pong after? Who could ask for anything more

This was the best date night my husband and I have had in a long time! Really cool cocktails (my husband is in love with the dragon’s breath now!), delicious food, and a fun combo of live and recorded music ( I was even able to convince hubs to watch Say Anything with me when we got home after hearing Peter Gabriel’s “In You Eyes” - he was in that good of a moose from dinner! 😂). Our server was great and helped with some recommendations too!

The food was good and our server was very kind. However we had a party of 9, and when booking it said we would have 2 hours. When we arrived they told us we could only stay for 1 hour. We were rushed through food service and we were not done eating when they brought us the bill and to-go boxes. The front staff was very unhelpful and the whole experience was not great. I couldn’t believe they would rush us to eat $500+ worth of food in an hour. Very disappointing.

This is a great place to share with friends. The wings are some of the best in town and their apps roll deep. If you get the change to try the soup dumplings, they are a must! Drinks flow pretty steady here, we tried the habanero mango daquiri and it was perfect. Beef and broccoli are good and the short rib cook it yourself plate was really good as well.

It was good however, very few entrees as a vegetarian and it was frustrating when they were out of green beans that we had to reconstruct another dish. Appetizers were great though- shrimp dumplings and shishitos/Brussel sprouts. The sauce for the mussels was great but the mussels didn’t absorb much of it sadly.

We ordered the Dan Dan noodles which came out Luke warm but we didn’t complain and just ate it anyway. The beef shao long bao were hot and juicy, the KFC chicken was spicy hot, and covered in the sauce, probably a bit too much for my liking. Our server towards the end asked us if we wanted the bill, we felt a bit rushed to leave because of that. Overall the food was average

The food was incredible! The bang bang bao had the tastiest sauce with the fried shrimp patty. The Yuzu Drop was such an interesting drink that you have to get. I also really liked the vegetarian noodles. I went on a Sunday night, so it was not too crowded and our server was super helpful.

This place was delicious, fun and had great service. It was spacious - and with 4 kids, 4 adults on the patio - it was everything we needed it to be on a weekday dinner. Kids had space to run and be loud, the food was so good (and fast service), and we'd highly recommend.

We ordered the beef long bao (finally because it sells out fast), the potstickers, and tiger wings, and pickled cucumbers as starters/shared plates. All of these are well done; my favorite are the tiger wings. For entrees we ordered the crispy beef and broccoli and the cashew chicken. The crispy beef is one of the main go to dishes we typically get because it is so well done. The cashew chicken was something new we tried. There are quite a few ingredients but the sauce for the cashew chicken was very mild and almost undetectable leaving the dish lacking in flavor. The service is always excellent and the restaurant seems to always be busy and moderately lively between the music and conversations. We didn't get dessert this time as we filled up fast with all of the food we ordered, but there is always room for the fortune cookies!

This was our first time at Ace Eat Serve. We were a bit concerned about dining amongst ping pong tables but they do not take away at all from the dining experience. The service and food were all very good. Highly recommend the carrot cake for desert.

It was all good... food was great, employees were awesome & it was a fun experience... we played ping pong while we waited for our dinner reservations... even though we went in for the duck, I set up a reservation via the nudge & opentable via the link that was given, didnt ask if I wanted the duck or not... they told me to go via their site, which brings us back to open table... well try again for Fathers day for the duck, it was good so worth coming back to try other things, even with the mix up on Mothers day... I have photos & video, but non of our actual food... sorry! But trust it was BOMB!!!

Love, love, love Ace Eat Serve!! I've had so much great food here and I can't eat a fair chunk of the menu due to an allergy. (Our servers have been awesome about answering questions and making sure I'm safe with my picks!) I also just took a group of friends who hadn't been before and they're all planning to go back. Make sure you don't skip desserts because the way they combine flavors is wonderful, plus there are ube and ginger ice creams! (Keep an eye out for the newest dessert with Vietnamese coffee ice cream - I'm in love!)
