Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe

Try the lamb hand-pulled noodle soup . The broth looks clear and insipid, but it couldn't be more flavorful—full-on but clean-tasting lambiness laced with just enough chile oil.

Cash only ! Get there early for lunch - it gets PACKED quickly. But worth the trouble. I got the noodles and a lamb kebab . Yum. I'm already looking forward to my next trip.

Food enthusiasts have been going nuts about the hand-pulled noodles at Gene's original location in Chelmsford for ages, and now he has brought his Xi'an cuisine downtown.

Cash only , no frills, hole in the wall spot with fantastic food. Anything involving noodles is a sure winner. Garlic and chili oil abound. Bring mints .

The house noodle soup and the lamb skewers did it for me!

The hand-pulled noodles (biang biang mian) are otherworldly, stretched and banged on the counter right in front of you and then cut into jagged, chewy strips.

Excellent handmade noodles (a little too thick and chewy for me) but very tasty

Get the #4 - classic hand pulled noodles with spicy garlic sauce . So good and only $6.00!

The hand pulled noodles are the best in Boston!

As of 10/15/13, they added lamb hand pulled pork and lamb stew on their menu, and extended their Wed, Thu, and Fri hours to 6:30pm

Delicious cheap lunch . Thick hand pulled noodles (NO GIGGLING PLEASE) with cumin lamb for 8 bucks.

#4 is vegan ! (Hand pulled noodles ) and they have lots of vegan drink options

Great hand pulled noodles , I loved the noodle soup and the Lamb skewers !

Sadly the pork flat bread sandwich includes no garnish . Cilantro , pickled vegetables , ground peanuts or Chinese relish would really kick it into high gear.

lamb noodle soup and like, 6 lamb skewers . tea eggs are a hit/miss.

The noodles are just the right amount of spicy . A little more sauce would be nice though!

Get hand pulled noodles and lamb skewers , don't bother with chilled noodles (liangpi).

#4. These noodles are just about perfect.

Try the soups too they're delicious. Hot sour handpulled noodle soup has no equal.

The lamb cumin hand pulled noodles were great!

Don't go expecting lot of flat breads . They had one. But the food was delicious and seemed really authentic .

Don't know who Gene is, and there was only one flatbread available, but the hand pulled noodles were awesome!

Loved the hot veggie pulled noodle dish

Food Network's Top 5 - Chinese Food : #5 Hand Pulled Noodle

Filling chow fun style in house noodles but they'll have to tone down the oil to get their rating up.

I love thick chewy noodles , but the noodles here are a little too thick for my tastes

Large portions and good noodle bowls .

Super tasty lamb skewers !

Lamb hand pulled noodle soup

Disappointed - I was excited to try Gene's after hearing about hand-pulled noodles and the menu selections looked great. It's basically chunks of dough in salty soup (lacking flavor)

Hot and sour noodle soup

Get hand pulled noodles and two lamb skewers .

Do NOT get the hand pulled noodles by themselves. The noodles are coated with overly salty and dosgustingly flavored chili sauce . I felt sick afterwards. Go for soup instead.

Excellent food.

It's all about the noodles .

Noodles , lamb , man, oh, man!

Best noodles in Chinatown
