Few places in Chicago serve takoyaki, the octopus fritters indigenous to Osaka, Japan. At Chinatown’s Saint’s Alp Teahouse, the light and crunchy batter gives way to a custardy interior with ginger and radish notes. Inside: a chewy piece of octopus, with a barely there sweet glaze adding yet another layer. $4.25 for 6. 2131 S. Archer Ave., 312-842-1886.
