“I was wondering around by myself trying to find a hidden Chicago gem and I stumbled across Penny's Noodle Shop.”

I was wondering around by myself trying to find a hidden Chicago gem and I stumbled across Penny's Noodle Shop! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The workers are so friendly, warm, and inviting, making you feel right at home. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and cooked to order, which really makes a difference. They have a great selection of Asian cuisine, with something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, the location is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for a quick and satisfying meal near the ballpark. Highly recommend! Had the Hot Pepper Noodles with Beef and the Gyozas. Both were fantastic

“My favorite pad Thai in Chicago.”

My favorite pad Thai in Chicago. I lived in Bangkok for 5 months and the food here always brings me back. I love the bean sprouts, cabbage, and cilantro that comes in the side with the pad Thais. I’ve eaten here dozens of times and I’ll always come back. Great flavors, amazing and friendly service. Penny’s food after a long day always cheers me up. 😊 I love dining in as well!

“Absolutely delicious.”

Absolutely delicious! We polished off every plate! Super fast and friendly service. Nothing super fancy, just a casual neighborhood spot, but don’t need to be fancy when the food is incredible! Highly recommend!

“We made a huge lunch order for our team at work and everything was great.”

We made a huge lunch order for our team at work and everything was great. Usually with big orders it’s easy to have missing items but they didn’t miss anything! The person at the cashier was so kind and helpful and made sure I had everything I needed when I was picking up the order. I ordered the hot pepper noodles (extra spicy) and a Thai iced tea. My photos don’t do justice since I had to eat on the go, but upon the first sip of my Thai iced tea I did a happy dance because it was so perfectly made and not watered down or weird tasting, just how I like it. The noodles were also delicious and flavorful! There was a good ratio of veggies/noodles/meat. I definitely recommend if you like spicy noodles! Would order from here again!

“We ordered the sesame ramen, bbq pork bowl, and the wonton soup.”

We ordered the sesame ramen, bbq pork bowl, and the wonton soup. I will say the wonton soup was a little lacking in flavor for my taste. Everything else was amazing. I usually am not a huge fan of noodles but the noodles were amazing! The bbq was tender and flavorful too. They also have a very large vegetarian selection.

“Small, cozy place.”

Small, cozy place. Waitresses were very nice and on top of things. I got the lad nar which was a pleasant surprise. Thought it was gonna be like drunken noodles but was like wonton soup. The noodles were crisp and soaked up the gravy. I liked how unique this was. I also added some of the hot sauce on the table but dish didn’t even need it. Gravy was savory and velvety. Bbq pork was good, not too sweet. Broccoli and carrots were good. First time having a dish like this and it won’t be my last.

“No frills, small, friendly Asian cafe with great food at a reasonable price.”

No frills, small, friendly Asian cafe with great food at a reasonable price. My wife and I had the wonton soup and it was delicious. It comes in a rather large bowl -- I was able to eat the entire meal, but my wife took half of her meal home. Service was attentive and friendly. This is a great spot if you're looking for a good, quiet meal that is just steps from the Wrigleyville party zone.

Wonton soup & beef noodle soup were so delicious I already want to go back 😭😭 it's getting cold, so it's the BEST spot to get a nice warm noodle soup (highly rec the wonton soup) !! Their BBQ pork Chinese style fried rice and spring rolls were also yummy!!! 100% new favorite spot, we'll be back soon 💜💜
