| - ACE is THE place to go for delicious Chinese food in the Valley! My father had been eating at Gourmet House since the 80s, and I grew to love it as well, although it was a bit of a drive from where I lived. When he told me the owners sold it and opened their own place in Mesa, closer to my digs, I was pumped. He told me the menu was different, and I became worried that my favorite, Hunan Beef, would not be on the menu. Unfortunately it's not, but I still ask for the Hunan Beef every time, and lucky for me they are happy to oblige.
The menu is huge, gigantic really, with a whole section on Hong Kong style cuisine. I regretfully have not yet tried as many items on the menu as I would like, since I always want my favorites, but this would definitely be the place to branch out and try something new. Baby bok choy greens with garlic sauce, hot and sour soup, fried rice, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, lo mein, all the classics are delicious! Very inexpensive, including lunch bowl portions of favorite dishes with rice for under $5. My friends who are now in San Francisco curse me every time I send them a photo of the food with their telltale plate design.
