"A restaurant town in the truest sense of the term, Chicago extends far beyond Polish sausage, deep-dish pizza, and world-class steaks. Thanks to corner vendors and legends like the original Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, Gene and Georgetti, and Morton’s, thos..."

"The decor is nothing remarkable, but the place is clean and spacious. Besides, the eclectic bunch of noodle-cravers and bookworms-on-a-budget has things other than interior design on the brain...."

"This warm and busy environment may distract you from the fact that the food is the most generic of Asian cuisine: pad Thai, udon noodles, wonton soup, etc. They won't be the tastiest dishes you've ever tried, but they are pan-fried practically in front of..."

"Squeezed onto the corner of Sheffield and Roscoe, Penny's is as warm and inviting as it is energetic and busy. The kitchen is pushed into the back of this small space, creating an atmosphere that is alive with a young crowd and a staff that seems chaotica..."

""Penny's is always good and it's always cheap," decrees one Rater. " One of the first noodle houses in town back in the early 90s, Penny's continues to bustle even though the menu isn't so unusual anymore -- mostly ramen and udon soups plus staples like c..."

"Predating many of Chicago's Pan-Asian noodle shops, Penny's has kept its loyal following even as others have joined the fray. Penny Chiamopoulous, a Thai native, has assembled a concise menu of delectable dishes, all of them fresh and made to order -- and..."

"That"s the gist of these small yet mighty noodle restaurants, where the line goes out the door on weekend nights. There is a great variety of noodle dishes that beat back the tiger of high prices (most run about $6)...."
