Penny's Noodle Shop

Food: wonderful! Stopped in for a little snack while on a walk. I just got the Thai Spring Rolls appetizer and it filled me right up. Definitely enough for one person as a meal, but they are meant to share as small bites! Service: quick service. No complaints! Both ladies running front of house were very kind and made sure I had everything I needed. Ambiance: small shop with a handful of tables. They move people through fairly quickly, so seating isn't a huge problem. If you have a bigger group, be prepared for a slight wait at peak dinner time!

This place used to be so good but It was awful this visit My cousin and his friend were in town visiting from Washington. My cousin's favorite cuisine is Thai. I Used to go here back when there were more locations and it was delicious then so I suggested it This smaller location I believe is the last one left. Small little spot under the LEverything was so bland. My cousins's friend ordered the red curry. My cousin and I ordered the chicken pad Thai.There were literally four tiny pieces of chicken in my whole pad Thai dish.I should've said something. It was so upsetting instead of doing the right thing and sending everything back we didn't say anything and even took it to go. I was embarrassed and didn't want to in front of out of town guests but we were all displeased and I should have. We gave it away on the way home.My Cousin wanted more salt or msg. To want more at an Asian restaurant is mind blowing.The only thing that was good Was Thai ice tea and crab Rangoon. The server was good and attentive and asked us how everything was. I didn't want to deal with it and that's my fault for not telling her how terrible everything was but I was embarrassed and didn't want to in front of out of town guests. We shouldn't have taken anything to go. We should've literally sent it back It was not worth it sadly, all that was left to take was noodles. You fell off big time Penny's. Shame on yall for the amount of chicken to noodles sad to even have to give this rating but I do. I just started making chicken pad Thai I've made the dish a couple of times myself and though it's a little laborious mine is 100 times better.I will never be back.

Penny's has been around forever and we just finally got around to try it despite living near by. It's essentially your standard small Thai Chicago restaurant. The food was decent but the interior was somewhat lacking and the service a little spotty. I had the Lad Nar which is a new dish for me - it had a gravy that was tasty but then proceeded to make the noodles super soggy. Not really my jam...but decent enough I would come back to try other things. Potstickers were delish!They are BYOB which is nice, too.

Delicious food, quick service, & very cozy atmosphere! Great prices, too! Good options for vegetarians.

My friend and I were in search of hot ramen on one of the colder days May had to offer. He'd heard good things about Penny's so we decided to try it. I ordered the wonton soup dinner and he had the tonkatsu ramen. Both looked great and mine had lots of flavor but I was not a huge fan of the pork. His review of the tonkatsu was that it was just average. That being said, we heard the pad thai is amazing so might have to try that next time. Overall, friendly service and good experience!

My fiancé and I came here on a cold rainy week night when we were too tired to cook and instead decided to walk around the corner and finally try Pennys. Pennys has been on our list for a while but every time we walk by it's swamped. My only critique of the place is I wish it had more seating. The food was quick and I was surprised by the size of the cucumber salad but felt it was the only piece lacking a little. I anticipated more sauce/dressimh but this could be problem and my current mood. The crab rangoons were crispy with a hot and extra creamy filling. It comes with 5 so we fought over the last one. I ordered the spicy bail bowl and when they say spicy, they aren't kidding. The veggies had a nice al dente crunch and the bowl was packed with chicken veggies and noodles. Normally I can finish a meal but this dish was a lot! I'm a bit of a wuss with spice so my eyes were watering but even my spice loving fiancé thought it had a kick. He ordered a ramen which will be my order next time we go as it had such a deep and complex broth that stole the show. Overall, it seems like you can't order wrong here and I can wait to update my review with even more dishes.

I always loved small places like this. I always appreciated the authentic spices, aroma, and taste of Thai and other south East Asian foods. Joseph suggested we come here for dinner. Glad we came here. I ordered the vegetarian bowl. It came with warm fragrant rice noodles, green onions, julienne carrots, red cabbage, mung beans, cilantro, spicy tofu, crushed peanuts, and a slice of lime. The vegetarian bowl tasted divine! The kitchen staff captured all the flavors I expected from a first class Thai restaurant. Joseph ordered the chicken soup. He said it tasted fine. Penny's Noodle Shop felt cozy and small. But groups of 4 could fit around the smaller sized tables. I liked the decorations on the wall. They looked fun and adorable. Come and bring friends, family or even a date. I highly recommend Penny's Noodle Shop.

There is something to be said about twenty years of consistency!that's how long I've been bopping into Penny's and it's just as delicious as the first time. For me this is Thai comfort food. Tons of vegetarian and vegan options. The Thai fried rice was pretty spicy so be aware. It's a small dine-in space but tables turn over quickly. Staff are awesomely prompt.

The food was really good, and the shop was very cute and clean. The Pad See Ew was a standout, we left no crumbs.

I went to Penny's on Saturday around 3pm for an early dinner. It was great!! I went with a group of 3. I was intrigued to come because of reviews and driving pass. I also saw that they had gluten free options - woohoo! Service was wonderful. The staff is small, but on top of the tables, customers and timeliness. We did not have any long wait times. The food was so flavorful. I was obsessed with each bite and the serving sizes were huge!!!I had my left overs later that night and it was still so so good. I'm already craving Penny's and ready to go back!! I recommend!!!
