The food is delicious. The service and the atmosphere are poor. The bathroom is functional! My partner and I have been at both locations. The vegetarian option is also good.

Food doesn't taste fresh, no free water, too expensive, no service at all (take food yourself, get silverware yourself, get napkin yourself, clean up yourself, McDonald's style) yet they ask you to pay tip

Asian food is as complex as it is diverse. One of the underrepresented areas of Chinese cuisine is Western China, in particular the city of Xi’an. Gene captures the flavor and unique ingredients in this area. Don't come here looking for your favorite rice dish. You won't find it. Do open your experience to hand-pulled noodles. Warm and spicy soups filled with those noodles in addition to many other ingredients. My favorite #16 Hot and Sour noodle soup. With a Muslim influence, you will find delicious lamb skewers. Try a flatbread lamb sandwich. Fast, convenient, delicious, and definitely unique.

I have been going to Gene's for years back in the Chelmsford location as well as the Westford one and now I have to make the trip out to Woburn every once in awhile. The hand pulled noodles are amazing in the dumpling soup is one of my favorites. A+

Not as good as I hoped it would be. I’ve been to many xi’an noodle places and I expected something fragrant, punchy, and spicy. But the flavors were very mild and disappointing. The noodles didn’t have the QQ texture we were hoping for.

Delicious as usual. Order at the counter and pick up your meal when it's done. Cash only. Listen to the noodle maker stretch and then slap freshly made dough into noodles while you're eating.
There is a limited menu with both hot noodle soups, cold noodle dishes and a few other options.

highly recommend their lamb and cumin thick noodles! this restaurant is all self service (kiosk ordering) and their selection is not the largest, but their wide noodle soups are all delicious. Great prices too! Free street parking on the street or lot nearby. Short wait and positive experience overall.

The service was quick and the food was spicy and delicious. When I come back next time, I will opt for the "half-spicy" option. The lamb noodle soup was yummy. The lamb was quite a lot and soft and tender. The star was the hand pulled thick noodles. That was a first for me and it was unique and yummy especially with dipped in some extra Hot chilli oil ($1 extra). The soup broth was just a little too spicy for me. I also got a lamb skewer as a side but it was just OK for me. Definitely worth checking out. If you are paying by credit card, you have to order on the iPad at the counter.
DO NOT ORDER THE VEGETARIAN DISH. I know I'm an idiot for getting veg. at a Chinese noodle house, but they had it on the menu so I figured it must be at least passable. It is not.

Poor hospitality. Worker had an attitude with a customer. Exorbitant fees. Food was greasy. Greased through 2 bags. A positive was the place appeared very clean.
