Sometimes you wanna go.....

Where everybody knows your name....Ace Wasabi....

There is a place near and dear to my heart, a place that has seen me blossom from a sloppy 24 year old, to a "mature" 29 year old. However, you can't help but feel a few years younger when you step through the doors....Ace is the Place.

The Food:

My friends and I began going to Ace around 2003 and when I first began going there I was a sushi novice, ordering the same standard rolls, California Roll and Philly Roll. I understand putting Philly Rolls in a sushi review, may automatically discredit me, but i dont care. Through the years I have branched out and can say I have tried a majority of the menu. Because of my estimated over 50 visits, we now have the menu down to a science. If you have not ate there, order everything on the below at least once. If you have been and haven't tried everything below, you must.

The below is the standard list of foods consumed on an average Ace night.

Edamame

Seaweed Salad

Tuna Tartare

Spicy Green Beans

Chicken Fingers

Spicy Tuna Roll

U2 Roll

Crunchy Sake Roll

Spider Roll

Beverages: 8.7 Sake Bombs.

The People:

The majority of people are from on-campus (i.e. the marina). If you can get past that and hopefully skate by without an awkward run in from an ex-coworker you hate, a boy that never called back or the boy you never called back, you are down for a good time. You will encounter one of the following situations on any given weekend. Either you will hear the strong clanking of sake bombs from loud annoying tables or there will be the families surrounding you, annoyed that you are clanking said sake bombs. The question still remains, who brings a baby to Ace Wasabi at 9 pm on a Friday. I don't have kids yet, so I will refrain from answering. Lets also not forgot the staff. Can't write a review without mentioning Kyle, who somehow knows everyone and miraculously always remembers your name.

The Rest:

1) Don't sit at the table by the light switch (you will be too tempted).

2) Don't let the guy with mohawk serve you.

3) Put all your requests in the jukebox, you will hear them all before you go. If you hear, bad medicine or your love, I am probably there (or an ex-frat guy).

4) Asked to be moved if you get stuck in the back corner.

Think thats it! I am officially now craving the U2 Roll.
