  • ACE, huh? what an apt acronym for this eatery... my wife's been working late hours, and her job has been buying all her meals, so i've had the opportunity to go out of my way and sample what both yelp and the new times best of phoenix has to suggest. i was in the mesa area wednesday night and was real hungry after working out, so... i can't believe i've never ever heard of this place before the 2010 best of phoenix issue. no one bothered to tip me off! i need to get some more savvy friends! maybe it's because it's not exactly in a high profile area? it's definitely in a weird corner of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shopping center. and when i walked inside? oh man, SO gritty. this is the kind of place i think of when i think of authenticity, when i think of dishes i'll crave again and again. the smell in the air got my stomach rumbling as did the plates on everyone's tables. wednesday night and this busy? and almost everyone inside was asian? and right off the light rail? and i didn't hear a record skip and the music stop when i walked in? i picked up a menu and thumbed through it, but it was filled with just the usual dishes. where were all the hardcore dishes i've read about on yelp? since i was only getting a take-out order, i wasn't able to investigate if there was another menu with the real shit on it. since i had photo evidence it existed (thanks to all the yelpers who already know about this place), i ordered the beef with chinese broccoli and the beef chow fun, with gravy. i also ordered a taro coconut drink with tapioca to hold me over on the long drive back home. let me say it was real tough, driving all the way back to north phoenix with all that food making my car's insides smell all delicious. my nose KNOWS! after getting home and setting up a plate, a couple of bites in and i was already texting friends in tempe about my new find. the beef chow fun is probably the BEST i've ever had. the noodles were excellent, the beef cooked expertly and the sauteed baby bok choi, also, delicious! chinese broccoli is a favorite of mine, and ACE's was GREAT. even those these two dishes are similar, they both had distinct flavors that made me very happy. even the taro coconut drink, with actual tapioca inside was so good, refreshing and mixed perfectly. the portions were HUGE as i had enough for lunch and dinner the next day, and it was also super affordable! i may have found a new favorite chinese food spot, but why does it have to be in mesa? and why aren't there any amazingly great chinese food places in north phoenix?
