“Try the spicy lamb stirred fried with thin cilantro.”

Try the spicy lamb stirred fried with thin cilantro. It’s a personal favorite of mine. I asked for it to be mildly spicy and it was done perfectly tender and just a hint of spiciness. We also had eggplant fish fillet chow fun (thick noodles) and golden stirred fried tofu. All of these are excellent. Not too heavy in the sauce and you can taste the actual food that’s in it. The chow fun was slightly too soft— but still delicious. More firmness would be perfect. Over all 4.8 stars so I round it up to a five. 4 stars for the atmosphere as seating near the door is not recommended. We went on a cold day and waiting guests kept the door open and made our food cold. I had to tell them to close it myself. The host was too busy.

Saint’s Alps has always provided good quality and delicious food over the years. They used to stay open really late because they were our go to for late night meals. Prices were reasonable. Great service. Restaurant was clean. They were good for groups. Portions were ample when sharing.

“Great underrated hong kong cafe.”

Great underrated hong kong cafe. Food is really good and on point. Price is cheap too. They are very generous with the ingredients as well. The entire bottom half of my bowl is filled with noodles. I do wish i have more broth instead but it was a perfect amount of tofu, chicken and shrimp. I really enjoyed it. I just wished that they did not name it laksa because it is definitely not anything close to laksa. It’s a typical chinese style curry noodle. Also, just a tip for the owner: The name of this restaurant needs to be changed to something more chinese because this restaurant is very empty during lunch time when everywhere else is packed. I mean, people go to Chinatown wanting chinese food or at least asian food and saint alps doesnt sound very chinese so maybe that’s why it lacks customers. I didnt even realize that it’s a hong kong cafe until i heard the staff and customers speaking cantonese.

“I’ve been going to Saint’s Alp Teahouse since I was a freshman at UIC.”

I’ve been going to Saint’s Alp Teahouse since I was a freshman at UIC. That was 20 years ago (yikes I’m old!) when they were at a different location. I had a Taiwanese roommate and she really liked their Taiwanese pork chop and tea egg over rice. So we would go to the restaurant to eat and study. Other than the Taiwanese pork chop, I’ve also had the beef brisket noodles and marinated mince pork over rice. It is good. Their teas are amazing too. I’ve never had anything else on the menu up until recently. My friend introduced me to the sumiyaki coffee with coffee jelly. I’m not a coffee drinker but it is DELICIOUS (adjust the sweetness to your level)! I also ordered the new menu item- sticky rice (lo mai fan). I have a weakness for sticky rice and it is not bad at all. The portion is huge!!

“Saint's Alp is really a treat.”

Saint's Alp is really a treat! We were in the area and their outdoor menu really stood out! Glad we decided to dine here! The service was quick and the menu is full of such authentic cuisine! I tried the lamb chops with black pepper mayo sauce....trust me is tasted sooooooo good ( dont let the name scare you away)! The lamb was super tender. Fair prices, nice portion sizes, and quick service. Add this place to your list!
