Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe Woburn

Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe in Woburn (and Westford) is open again! Only phone orders or website ordering, no walk-in orders. They now take credit cards. New and much improved website. There is a surcharge for ordering via the web site. You can now order extra spicy, never occurred to me to do that before.

For my reopening dish, I picked the #2 Lamb Hand-pulled Noodle Soup ($11). "Freshly hand - pulled noodles in lamb broth with slow cooked lamb, dried lily flowers, and wood ear mushroom, add with chilly oil and cilantro". There were mushrooms in the soup, and the only one I recognized was the wood ear mushroom, but they all were tasty. The tender lamb actually tasted of lamb. The hand-pulled noodles are really Escherish since they have no beginning and no end, but they are really toothsome. The broth looked really weak but wasn't. Full of flavor with a hint of heat. Extra spicy added just a touch more heat. I managed to eat about half and will have the rest for dinner. The noodles were packed separately and that's good. Don't let them sit for any time since you will have a solid noodle lump. I took the opportunity to use scissors to cut them down to size. Much easier to eat.
