Saint's Alp Tea House is probably one of my favorite places in Chicago. Located at South Archer Avenue this tea shop restaurant serves some of my favorite teas and snacks.

Ken-Kee Restaurant
Ken-Kee Restaurant is located in Chinatown at 2129-A S. China Place. It's located right next to the zodiac square in new Chinatown. I went with a friend who ordered noodles and a Tangerine Lemon Iced Tea that tasted like a Starburst candy. They brought us tea when we sat down and left us alone unless [...]
Flaming Pot
Flaming Pot is a hot pot restaurant located at 2342 S. Wentworth Avenue in Chinatown. I had found it while on a late night walk with a friend from Sox Stadium that ended with us finding our way to Chinatown. Usually when I'm with friends we don't walk that far down Wentworth in the older [...]

We ordered Mul-mandu as an appetizer while we [...]
The Noodle
The Noodle is a Vietnamese restaurant in the old part of Chinatown. They have wonderful soups and good pad thai. This is probably not the best place to go on a busy day, when they are packed such as after or during the chinatown parade. It was hard to order some of the drinks because [...]
Joy Yee Noodles and Smoothies
One of the places I take people to eat is a popular restaurant called Joy Yee Noodles (located in Chinatown). It's usually a popular place because of the smoothie station. During some parts of the summer the smoothie station will be set up like a small town ice cream shop where you order at the [...]
