Saint’s Alp Teahouse

Hailing from Hong Kong (where there are 40 locations), Saint’s Alp probably doesn’t raise an eyebrow among anybody back in the homeland. Here in the States, however, this fast-food teahouse is a novelty. The teas here are great (we particularly like the creamy and full-flavored sesame-milk variety), but the food lacks excitement. But at least there’s a view: Sucking down a bowl of vermicelli noodles while taking in the sights of bustling Chinatown is this spot’s strong suit.
