Got a recommendation from another clerk at another cookware business since we were looking for less expensive, larger, non-toxic aluminum cookie sheets. We found the place & were pleasantly surprised to find it was open to the public & the plethora of cooking utensils, tools, grills, chef outfits, cleaning supplies, meat grinders/cutters, restaurant supplies, barstools & even cleaning supplies. We found lots of larger Winco bowls which I found only at a Business Costco so I snagged a couple. Found a couple of large cookie sheets as well. It's amazing & fun to see large, commercial sized whisks, pizza cutting blades, pots, knives, tools, etc. There's a large Parking Lot so no need for street parking. Can't wait to come back! read more

See all

gentleman very friendly and helped with all needs has a big variety of products and sells items individually

As a chef and worked in the kitchen all my life. Ace Mart is a Chef's playground. Going to restaurant supply stores is like therapy. I have spin hours here. They have everything you need to build a professional kitchen from scratch. The service is good and knowledgeable. Very affordable depends on what your getting. read more

Helpful kind employees make all the difference! And ace mart has them!! Love this store there's always so much to see and of course I want to buy it all! read more

On the hunt for bulk party needs, we were led to Ace Mart Restaurant Supply. It's a huge benefit not to have to have a membership to take advantage of what this store has to offer, and the staff members Brian and Courtney were as helpful as they could be. Unfortunately, their stock for us was a hard A-OK for us. While Brian did direct us to the areas where we could find the things we would need including large trash bags and bowls, the trash bags ended up being sub-par quality when we ended up using them and they didn't have enough bowls (that weren't styrofoam) in bulk that we would need. So yes, huge benefit that there's no membership fee and the staff is very helpful, but in terms of quality bulk items, I wasn't incredibly impressed. read more

So you don't have to own a restaurant or even work at one. If you need to by 5000 foam plates- then this is the place for you! Better yet- you find interesting cooking equipment- $40 for a Swiss made 10in chef knife- YES please! Cutting boards for $8- double YES! They have items that you may not think about like tongs- commercial grade tongs that come in quite handy for like $4. You can't beat the prices. Best of all the staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Good prices & great customer service- I am a huge fan. Stop by and check it out. read more

Totally the place to go for bulk party needs. And anyone can shop here, whether you own/work in a restaurant or not! I haven't had to buy anything too serious other than cups, but if cups are what you need, you will have anything your heart desires. Short cups, tall cups, clear cups, styrofoam cups, champagne glasses, margarita glasses, you name it. The last two times I've gone, the same girl has helped me and she is just the sweetest. Always pointing me in the right direction so I don't waste any time wandering around, and then offering to help me outside with my insane amount of bags of cups. read more

This place is far but cool! (it's OK everything in San Antonio is far apart) #1 I like it that they are open to the public. I went to two other restaurant supply stores and they are not open to the public... #2 I love they they prepare a culinary school bag for you and it's a good deal $275 (I didn't need one but I really wanted one). #3 I saw plenty of happy whisks, bar stuff like salts, cups, trays, uniforms (even for sushi restaurants), rags, cleaning utensils, trash cans, cups, plates, commercial oven gloves, a set of piping tips, ice machines, kitchen knives, to-go boxes, saran wrap, aluminum, and much more. #4 Customer service: wonderful! They ask you if you need help or are looking for something. They also ask if you have an account with them. They can keep track of what you buy, and in case you do need to return something or have a warranty on it they can look it up. #5 The not so pretty is.... they are a little pricey. BUT great place to come and get things you wouldn't find at a regular grocery store. I am very happy I found this place and thanks fellow yelpers for writing stuff about it! They were really quick to answer my questions on the phone too. Yes, I recommend this place. read more

I just watched an episode of Restaurant Impossible, & I am astounded on the owner's generosity! I will pray that your business flourishes ten fold. I am checking to see if they have a website to place an order for delivery. The staff seemed on their toes & ready to help within no time! It's wonderful to see such compassion from a small business owner. God bless read more

I have been shopping here for over 20 years and have been treated like a king by the staff at this store. If they don't have what you are looking for they will go out of their way to find it for you. This is one of those places that makes you feel like family when you walk in the door. The stores always clean and you can really feel that the employees love working there. read more

Love the service every time I go in here, incredibly helpful and kind employees. Except this one man, he was very rude and commented on the fact that I did not purchase a culinary student kit through them, instead choosing to piece together my own. Only reason I'm not giving this otherwise pleasant place 5 stars. read more

if you fashion yourself as a home "chef" a la http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s14e14-creme-fraiche then this is the place for you. i'm a huge fan of pressure cooking to make stock, and ace mart fits the requirement for the necessities, such as cheese cloth, chinois and cambo containers. their prices compare favorably with other supply stores. look, if you cook a lot, and are used to back of the house quality products, this place should be a stop on your purchase travels. they have a ton of great products, and a ton of real crappy stuff. for instance, their volrath utility tongs. the tongs they have here s u c k. they may say volrath, but they scream cheap ass chinese crap. great selection of small (read home kitchen) cambro products. substantial product variety, but again, sometimes quality is sacrificed for quantity. ymmv. the thing i really like about ace mart is it's like a warehouse; everything is out on the shelves and you can browse. i'd like to give my business to a local company (mission) but the location on presa, just north of ace, is cramped, and not amenable to browsing. read more

I watch Resturant Impossible and seen where business donated supplies for Mama Lee owned by a retired veteran. Just want to say Thank You and God Bless !! read more

Way to help out a vet that served his country for 21 years. I just watched you donate all of the kitchen supplies for Mama Lee's on FoodTV. It's nice to see people helping out local businesses. God bless you! read more
