Amazing Thai food, very much worth checking out! I got takeout from here recently and needed some Tom Yum soup, maybe my favorite part of Thai food. To their credit, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is excellent!The Tom Yum soup here is mind-blowing in terms of flavor. Not a lot is customizable, in terms of proteins or heat. It is a certain level of spiciness and has a few tasty pieces of shrimp floating in it (not to mention straw mushrooms). But the flavor is perfection! It is everything you want in Tom Yum soup. It is spicy, but a nice "middle of the road," where it isn't bland in any way, but it's not going to burn your entire mouth. Less successful is the pad see ew, which was so sweet, it almost tasted like dessert noodles! The tofu especially, despite a good texture, almost tasted like candy, but in a very out of place sort of way.Despite a main course misfire, the soup here is so incredible that I could not imagine going lower than 4 stars. I would love to try more items...and try the soup again :D

Really good food. Reasonably priced. Just hours stink girl me! I recommend the basil rice and pit stickers are good!

Their website says they open at 11am. Google and Apple say they open at 11am. Here at 11:23am, all the doors are locked and the lights are off.

Came to yet another place for pho and noodle soup, this time in Northfield in a strip mall area. It's kind of hidden a bit. PNS Noodle Shop is a way back from the road so it can be hard to see if you don't know it's there. Helps make it a little less busy since many don't know about it. The main thing is noodles, but they also have rice. At lunch it wasn't busy. In fact, we were the only customers when we came in. The service was very fast, and it all came out in a few minutes. Even so, it wasn't like it tasted fake like out of a can. I got the Vegetable Soup. It's $11 for a lot of this. Good vegetarian choice. This was rice noodles in vegetarian broth with cilantro, scallions, and tofu. She had the Pad Thai, a classic. This was far from the best but one she liked enough to eat it all though. Have to look hard for this place to find it. It's located close to the strip mall with the pizza place. This is a good choice for anyone who likes noodles or looking for something for vegans or vegetarians.

I love PNS! I've been coming to this location for years and it always hits the spot. I am a big fan of the Vegetarian Bowl with tofu - it's light and healthy but delicious. I've also tried a few appetizers and I've enjoyed everything. I usually call in my orders and they're quick to fulfill and orders are easy to pick up. I hope this store never closes in Northfield!

We used to order from PNS all the time and then somehow forgot about it, but recently have been keeping them busy. It's one of the few restaurants that all 3 of my kids can agree on when it comes to delivery. The pad thai, edaname, chicken satay and plain rice noodles seem to be their personal favorites.I've tried many items on the menu as well and have enjoyed all of the above + their gyoza. It's tasty, reasonably priced and can also always count on a fast delivery. A great food delivery option for those in the area!

Unfortunately I have seen a big drop in the taste and quality of dishes from here. I have been ordering the same dishes from Penny's since the early 90's on Roscoe, so I have had them a lot! The dishes have no flavor; I wonder if they are even adding spices anymore? The pad thai and sautéed chicken are tasteless. The tom kha kai is bland and missing any chicken. What happened??

I have been going to PNS for several years, especially b/c they offer gluten-less customization. Unfortunately, now 3 or 4 separate times we have received food that was not what we ordered - meaning we ordered gluten-free fried rice w/o soy sauce (which they offer on their menu), and get home with our order only to find out it has soy sauce in it. One of the times I called to ask if it might be gluten-free soy sauce, which they said it was. Based on my daughter's intestinal reaction, it most definitely was not. They flat out lied. If it happened once, I could consider it an error or miscommunication. Now that it has happened multiple times, we can no longer patronize a place we used to like and would caution others with gluten sensitivities to avoid this place as well. Too bad, they used to respect the order but don't seem to anymore. Just sloppy; makes me wonder what else they might be sloppy about.

I honestly didn't know Thai food could be this bad. I've had plenty of cheap Thai in my life (good thai, too) and my expectations were low - this place was exceedingly poor. The spicy beef salad, which is typically a thinly slice limey charred beef, was like slow cooked pot roast on a pile of cabbage. As soon as I saw it I knew we were in trouble. The hot pepper noodles were undercooked and tiny noodle chunks, no ribbons of noodles. Curry was mostly chopped tomatoes. We were all home sick and just craving some Thai noodles - unfortunately this was truly inedible and ended up in the trash. It also arrived cold which is weird as our delivery driver was very prompt - almost like the food wasn't hot when they put it in containers. Don't go here - it makes Thai Inbox or Dowize Bistro look worthy of a Michelin star.
