Pan-Asian eats, cocktails, and ping-pong in a lively garage
"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
"Between the ping-pong tables, the Scorpion Bowls and other large-format cocktails, and the array of pan-Asian small plates made for mixing and matching, it’s no wonder congregations are a constant at this pan-Asian party place in Uptown. But here’s the icing on the cake for a hungry horde (or rather the hoisin sauce on the mu shu pancake): On Thursdays and Sundays, Ace prepares whole Beijing duck with all the fixings." - Ruth Tobias
"Part Asian diasporic restaurant and bar, part ping-pong parlor, Ace serves up good times both inside and out on its patio. Fuel up between rounds of table tennis on crispy shrimp wontons or pork potstickers, cayenne-infused wings, and puffy bao buns (filled with chicken karaage or pork belly) — but go easy on the sparkling sake and Scorpion Bowls if a win is on the line." - Gigi Sukin
"This combination Asian fusion restaurant and ping-pong parlor serves up plenty of fun for families: A few rounds of table tennis help work up an appetite for a kids’ menu that includes peanut butter–and–jelly bao and stir-fried noodles, as well as free ice cream or sorbet. Play another round afterward to burn off extra energy before bedtime." - Eater Staff
"Ace Eat Serve, a fun restaurant in Denver’s Uptown neighborhood, has two main attractions: a pan-Asian menu and lots of ping-pong tables. The restaurant is popular with families and kids—there's lots of room to roam around, and everything onthekids' menu comes on a bed of sticky rice with steamed veggies (and followed by a guilt-freeand tasty dessert of shave ice). The restaurant is also popular withchildless adults, who come for thepatio, the duck-broth ramen, the cocktails,and the boisterous table tennis. Win-win."
