Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe

Waiting: 0min at lunch First dish: 7min The restaurant is called Flatbread, but don’t get it confused—it’s actually a flat noodle house, not a pizza spot. Prices are fantastic, with the basic noodle dishes starting under $9 and offering generous portions. I tried the Hot & Sour Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup, and it didn’t disappoint. The portion was solid, with plenty of flavorful marinated tender pork. The noodles themselves were thick, wide, and had an almost gummy chewiness that kept me hooked with every bite. The broth could use a bit more punch—maybe more saltiness and garlic for depth—but overall, it was still very enjoyable, especially at this price point. It’s set up more like an express-style restaurant, but you can still dine in comfortably. I can definitely see myself coming back h

Emily (who runs the Boston B-Side) suggested this place to me and it was excellent! The noodles were high quality and I really enjoyed the soup on a cold day in Boston. Most people were ordering to go, but me and a friend sat inside. The noodles were thick and had a satisfying bite. Reasonable price too as it was about $17 per person post-tax and tip.

$9 for small portion for hand pulled noodles. …. Lamb is add on is $2 extra. . The spicy powder with sourness is major turn off. It is not balanced. . Even though the hand pulled itself is descent they would put some effort of the contiments and sauce. Ain’t visiting this place again ever !!

Found a piece of METAL POT SCRUBBER in the noodles (see picture). Do not go here for the love of all things holy. They have sold the restaurant to non-Chinese. Food quality is terrible. Felt stupid for even ordering. I predict they will close down within a year.

Terrible experience, from the taste of food to the environment and the service. It’s no surprise they close around 6 p.m.—a time when most restaurants are busy—because there’s no reason to stay open. But they do benefit the milk tea stores nearby. The food is too dry and salty, so I had to order some drinks to finish my food. Even though I still couldn’t finish my food, and when I ask for a to go box to avoid the waste, they refuse to provide a to go box! That’s totally unacceptable!
