So what is so special about Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe? Is it the flatbread, you ask? Kind-of. I'll be honest and say that I got a pork flatbread sandwich and it was pretty good, but nothing super special. So what is it that draws people to the restaurant and for it to be written about in numerous articles? The hand-pulled noodles! They are so thick and chewy (in the best way) and the concoction with the various spices and LOTS of oil (yeah, this place isn't for the health-conscious), it was a really good meal! A bonus about this restaurant is that it's incredibly cheap. The hand-pulled noodles dish which is a generous helping is only $6! It's a place that I would definitely frequent again if I'm downtown when it's open and want a really great Asian noodle dish.
A few weeks ago I was out and about on my day off running errands downtown, and so I decided to check another restaurant off my list! There are a few places on the list that are lunch spots only, or they just close pretty early at night, so a perfect time to check them out is on my day off in the middle of the day. The place I chose to visit was Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe. I had read about it first in an article that was explaining the best Chinese restaurants in the Boston area and it was even quite specific on the type or region of food you are looking for. I've saved a number of these restaurants to my own list from this article.
