Ace Eat Serve

"From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, this ever-thronged ping-pong parlor-meets-Pan Asian joint in Uptown delivers a slew of sweet (and sour, salty, and spicy) deals. While the bar pours $8 highballs along with $4 to $6 wines, sakes, beers, and whiskey shots, the kitchen serves up everything from pork potstickers and chili-pickled cucumbers to its signature tiger wings and brussels sprouts with shishito peppers for $3 to $10, along with $16 bowls of ramen and khao soi ($3 to $6 off regular price)." - Ruth Tobias
