Default 2007 Lexus GS 350 New brakes make noise

I just had my front brake pads replaced by a local shop. I am now hearing a clunking noise every time I step on the brakes. I got the brake pads from the local Lexus Dealership but had them installed by a local shop. Is it normal to have this clunking for the first couple hundred miles until the brakes "wear" in or do I need to have someone else look at the brakes?

I would take it back to the shop that did the work and have them fix the issue.

it shouldn't clunk during high/normal speed stops.

It may clunk during ultra low speed, like in a driveway. I just assume it's the nature of grabby brakes.
