Founded in 1991, Penny’s Noodle Shop opened its doors bringing the Pan-Asian food craze to Chicago.  Over 25 years of Fast Fresh Delicious Thai food.

From day one, Penny insisted on using all her own tasty recipes made fresh from scratch daily. This includes all of the sauces used to prepare each appetizer or entree all the way down to the homemade soup broths simmering daily. Recently we have also incorporated a number of gluten free options throughout our menu.

Rest assured, while your food may take a litter longer to prepare, we insist on preparing the food the way Penny has always cooked for her family and friends!
