"After five years, Penny’s Noodle Shop has returned to this location underneath the CTA’s L tracks. The spot is likely to bring back memories with longtime Chicagoans. It was one of the first noodle shops in town when it debuted in the ‘90s. The menu is basic with soups and noodle bowls. But it’s consistent, and there’s a hankering for a quick pad Thai, this is the place to stop. BYO." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
