I love this spot! It's been on my list to try for a while just because of how cozy it looks from the outside and it matches that energy inside as well. Walking through the doors it feels like you're walking into someone's kitchen. The servers and staff were very welcoming and accommodating when we needed to combine a table for our slightly larger group. I loved the food here. I ordered the Pad Thai, which I've ordered at a lot of thai places and this was was definitely a winner. The group I was with ordered the Fried Rice, Wonton Soup, Hot Pepper Noodles, and the Chicken Noodle Soup and everyone loved their order. This is such an amazing neighborhood spot! Really warmed me up on a cold January night

The servers were really nice and I really liked the noodle dish I got. The place was perfect for a casual dinner.

Love love love the atmosphere in here! It's very cozy and a BYOB is always fun :) The servers here were very nice to us and even showed off in their kitchen while we were sitting nearby. Very intricate dining place here and the food is great! Warm environment here and since it's so cold lately, it's nice to warm up in here. Definitely would come back!!

Excellent! Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. Loved the quaint neighborhood-restaurant vibe. I had the chicken satay and hot pepper noodle with tofu - both excellent. Big portions at a reasonable price too. Highly recommend!

I've been wanting to come to Penny's for a while since I'm always in the area. With a hankering for some noodles, I finally made my way over. I got the spicy sesame ramen. It was a little spicy without being overwhelming. The portion size was large and prices were fair. The outdoor seating was also lovely for an early fall night. I hope to be back again in the future.

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.

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.
