Casual Thai-forward noodle shop with quick, friendly service and standout lad nar, pad Thai, and soups; some diners report bland flavors, delivery issues, and uneven consistency.
Penny's Noodle Shop delivers reliable casual Thai dining with strong signature dishes like lad nar and fast, friendly service that keep regulars returning. However, flavor inconsistency across visits—ranging from excellent to bland broths—prevents a higher grade, and the simple diner setting lacks distinctive appeal. It's a solid neighborhood spot worth visiting for quick, satisfying noodles, especially if you're in Wrigleyville.
One caveat: Occasional bland broths or sauce-forward dishes; ask for condiments or extra spice
