“Like the place a lot. Yeah i know there’s always a line but for 9$ im not complaining. Go there multiple times a week and consistent food. Love their house noodles. Samusas is sumthing you cant miss from the appetizers menu.”

“Good food, good price, good service. All in all, good. Tried Chicken House Noodles, Cold Noodles with spicy chicken, Spinach Noodles with Tofu, and Black Bean Fish with Noodles. My favorite was the Cold Noodles, followed by the Chicken House Noodles, then the spinach noodles and lastly the Black Bean Fish. Each dish was $9 and total was $36 cash.”

“We love YAMO! The owners/staff are the sweetest and the food is delicious.

You can't beat prices like theirs. Bring cash! We usually get the house noodles with beef and their samosas.

We've ordered to go so far - I'd plan ahead/give yourself more time if planning to dine in as seats are limited. However, I can imagine how fun the experience would be being so close to the magic. Thanks YAMO team!”

“It is endearing how Michelle (the waitress) remembers all of her customer's names. Yamo is a small eight seat counter style restaurant ran by a daughter and mother team. My Burmese tea salad $9 and chicken house noodles $9 were delicious. A lot of flavor. It is great for the price. There was a 30 minutes wait at 7:30pm on a Monday. Excellent dinner tonight.”

“Cute small and family owned business, tight seating area in front of the kitchen so if that’s not your thing you can order to go.

Tasty food and easy to share, very simple menu with homemade vibes, we really enjoyed watching how they prepare each dish.”

“Tiny, diner style, Asian comfort food spot in the mission district. Friday night, we waited about 45mins for a spot to sit for dinner.

Ordered the tra leaf salad, egg rolls, samsusas, curry chicken, mango chicken, cold noodles, and some other stuff. Overall it's good, relatively healthy. Fresh ingredients and made to order.

Taste wise, it was fine. Not many negatives. Nothing fancy to honest. It is very affordable for 2025 and being in the heart of the city which is definitely a plus.

If you want a simple, somewhat hearty, affordable, Asian meal that's made to order, this is your spot. Otherwise, it's not fancy and nothing impressive. I think to go orders are better here if you're in a rush. Might be back.”

“Wanted to order for to go but ending up waiting close to an hour since we didn’t know how the system worked.

Got the yamo house noodles with beef- it was good but just average level. It’s a nice place if you’re looking for a really cheap place to eat but is it worth lining up an hour for? Maybe not. Seating is also super limited- just a little counter at the front so be prepared to wait! The two ladies working were nice though!”

“In short, it is not worth it!

Sure, the prices are cheap but that is the only thing this place has going for itself.

The person working the counter was extremely rude and angry, and it seemed like she was angry that I was there to buy food lol.

The food itself was extremely average. Had the tea salad, and it was very ordinary. The house noodles were bland, and while the portion size was generous, it definitely needed more flavour.

Do not recommend this place!”
