Their hand pulled noodles were good but a tad thicker than I would have liked. But good flavor!!!

Hand-pulled noodles: AMAZING The lamb and pork flatbread sandwiches: EVEN BETTER
This place is insanely slept on, I swear the inside of this place still looks like how places used to do takeout back in COVID times but the food is still elite even if the interior looks a bit odd.
Huge portions of delicious food, genuinely cannot go wrong.

Food has fallen off a bit from the last. Noodle and lamb dish was really delicious. Noodles still great, but the sandwhich was really weak. Used to be one of the best bites in the city now it's just really solid. Will keep going back though.

Delicious lamb flatbread

Delicious, well priced, and located within walking distance of several T stations (<10min walk away). I got the hand-pulled noodles #4 with extra pork. Flavorful, chewy, and rich and around $11 total including tax and tip.
Note there is no bathroom, payments with card must be made on an iPad in-store, and they take cash. The restaurant is small with limited seating. Service was very fast.
Vegetarian options: A few dishes come vegetarian with the option to add meat. The hand pulled noodles and the chilled noodles are delicious and do not automatically come with meat.

My favorite hand pulled noodles ever. Every time I travel to Boston I stop here for lunch, the sauce is so perfectly spiced and well balanced with the garlic. The hand pulled noodles are so soft and smooth. The service is fast.

4.2/5 Lamb Hand Pulled Noodle Soup - super thick noodles with a very satisfying chew! Wish it were a more generous portion of lamb with less fatty portions
Would consider coming back to try their flatbread!
Visited around 6pm on a weeknight, not realizing they close at 6:30pm. Plenty of seating a couple blocks down by the Chinatown Gate if its a nice enough day to sit outside!

I went to Gene’s Flatbread based on recommendations and reviews and I was severely disappointed, especially as someone who loves hand torn noodles. I got the cumin lamb hand torn noodles and it was mostly a bowl of carrots with a small amount of noodles and greasy lamb that lacked flavor and heat for being so called spicy. I also got the lamb flatbread and that was nothing, but a pile of grease with yet again no flavor. Save your money and try other spots. The place felt a bit dirty as well.
Frozen veggies put in soup, if your definition of soup is a bowl of oil. Pork was good.

Gene's Flatbread is hands down my favorite lunch spot in Boston. All the food there is amazing and my favorites are Xi'an cold noodles and the cumin lamb noodles.
As a spicy food lover, something I especially like about Gene's is that they don't tone down the heat. Their extra spicy dishes are some of the hottest food I've found at any restaurant in the Boston area. And if you don't like spicy food then I recommend the pork flatbread instead, which is made with a sweet five spice blend instead!
The takeout food was bad. The meat had a lot of tendons - not sure if it was by design. Also, the noodle came out as one giant piece even though the food was at rest for less than half an hour.

Delicious lamb pancakes. Cumin lamb Skewers are tasty as well. Service is nonexistent as is the atmosphere. Would go back for the food.

we got the hand pulled noodles, lamb hand pullled noodles as well as the flatbread. Noodles are way too thick and uneven and weren’t fully cooked. Broth had no flavor. Couldn’t even finish the whole bowl. Very limited seating inside so we had to takeout our food.
