Gene's Chinese Flatbread

It's not often that we recommend leaving Chinatown for Chinese food, but Gene's is only a few blocks away. And it's worth the detour to this unassuming storefront for chewy Xi'an-style noodles. No 9 (cumin lamb hand-pulled noodles) and No 3 (pork flatbread sandwich) are perennial fan favorites. Seating is limited and credit cards are not accepted.
