What User likes about Penny's Noodle Shop:
Over 20 years ago, I started eating at her original Lincoln Park. Today her delicious food keeps me back after time. It helps the restaurant be occupied by the nicest people in the world. When I call after picking up, they know my order (Lassar with chicken and Japanese gyoza) and they have it ready in ten minutes. Ten minutes! View all feedback. What christy m doesn't like about Penny's Noodle Shop:
What happened to the old Penny's Noodle Shop??? The original that started in Chicago on Roscoe Ave and on Diversey Avenue. I don't know if the ownership changed hands or what but this place is not the same and it's truly sad. Penny's Noodle Shop used to be so popular in the city and this one in Northfield used to be pretty much the same as the downtown locations. Now they've changed their menu and the dishes that wer...

Penny's Noodle Shop in Northfield has undergone significant changes, disappointing patrons who miss the original. Many feel the flavor and quality have declined, with some finding the service unprofessional. Despite mixed reviews on individual dishes, the restaurant continues to attract loyal customers who enjoy the quick service, cozy atmosphere, and variety of options. The menu features Thai favorites like Pad Thai and Pho, with vegetarian and vegan choices available. Overall, the consensus is that while Penny's Noodle Shop might not be what it once was, it remains a convenient and satisfactory option for a quick Asian meal.

We were big fans of Penny's Noodle Shop when it opened in Lakeview in the 1990's. This is the same menu. The Pad See Eu is the best in the world (to me)!
