Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe - Woburn

Worst experience ever!! Everything was so wrong about this place.1. POOR HOSPITALITY: The cafe closes at 8pm, where we’re being told after ordering that the dining area closes at 730pm. We placed our order around 720pm, dining in, and being kicked out at around 745pm!! We were rushing to finish the bowl and guarantee will be out by 8pm, but the server was just keep starring at us by our table. We just wasted the rest of the food and get out at that point.2. MEDIOCRE FOOD: The noodle bowl is oily and salty, nothing special other than super unhealthy. The tea egg is fridge cold!!!! All food was served in disposable plastic containers even for dine in. No water provided, you have to buy bottled water/beverages.3. UNPLEASANT ATMOSPHERE: The floor is sticky (which is a bad sign), table was not wiped down. You will be charged 99c for ordering from their self-serving kiosk, or pay in cash if ordering with the server. It’s not about the charges, it just show how much they care about their customers.We just moved to the area and were recommended by our neighbor about this place.Now our neighbor felt so sorry about our experience. We were just glad that we didn’t feel sick after the food since this place cares that ‘much’ about their customers.We are small business owner that happily support other small businesses but NEVER this place again!! Good luck eating here. Vegetarian options: Only salty plain noodle. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.

Quality, taste and service all getting worse. Salty and oily food. Worse and worse.

You gotta order the lamb flatbread and the hand pulled noodles with dumpling soup. Ordered this both soups half-spicy and it was the right amount of spiciness.

Update: restaurant was quick to provide why they were closed. Will be coming by next time to provide a more comprehensive review!

I ordered spicy cold skin and the waiter sprinkled a handful of chili powder on me! Turns out it’s not that bad
