Penny's Noodle Shop

The absolute best Thai cuisine in historic Oak Park, Illinois! Founded in 1991, Penny’s Noodle Shop opened its doors, introducing the Pan-Asian culinary frenzy to Chicago. For over 25 years, Thai food has been fast, fresh, and delicious. Penny insisted on making all of her own delicious foods from scratch every day from the beginning. This encompasses everything from the sauces needed to produce each appetizer or meal to the daily boiled soup broths. We've recently added a variety of gluten-free alternatives to our menu. While your cuisine may take a little longer to make, be assured that we insist on cooking it the way Penny has always cooked it for her family and friends!
