Yamo

Eating at the bar at Yamo gives the satisfaction of feeling like you’re grabbing a quick bite on the way home from work in Blade Runner

Outside of my uncle's kitchen, Yamo has some of the best Burmese food I've ever had! The chicken noodle soup (khao swè) is very tasty! There are only 8 seats but it's worth the wait. Cash only .

One of the best if not THE best Tea Leaf Salad 's I've ever had. Yamo House Special Noodle #protip: mix it WELL , let it sit for a few minutes and THEN enjoy (oh, and NO PICTURES! tee hee hee)

Great hole-in-the-wall with only 8 seats at the bar . Dirt cheap (no dish more than $6). All dishes made fresh before your eyes. Just laugh at the grumpy chefs behind the counter.

The tea leaf salad is crunchy, sweet & spicy all at once! The chicken noodle soup is with a splash of coconut . The house noodles are tasty/oily while the chicken noodles aren't. Skip the spring rolls . Read more

I agree about house noodles and tea leaf salad !! Both amazing. Take away or snag one of the few seats at the bar (smoky but totally worth the yums!)

Chicken salad with hot perfectly crisped chicken , crunchy wide noodles , red onion and chili . Known for good, cheap food and no frills service. Always a unique experience. Those ladies are badass OGs

Great price, menu has a few good items: house noodles (both cold and hot), tea salad , house rice . Rest are relatively okay but still worth the price.

Delicious and super cheap . There is one line for both dine in and take out , so make sure you're in the right place in line . Get the house noodles with beef and a Mexican coke . 

Tea leaf salad , cold noodles , and the chicken noodle soup are favorites but you can't go wrong with anything here. Splurge and order half the menu; it will only cost $30.

Hole in the wall , cash only but does take out and cheap . The tea salad + noodles with beef = perfect. The onion in the tea salad spices it up good.

One of the real gems of the Mission District. The tea leaf salad is a must. And be sure to soak in the unique experience of sitting so close as the three women of Yamo work their magic.

Came with Jeanne during off hours I.e 4:30pm...perfect time to get a seats. Had tea leaf salad , house noodles and black bean fish ....all were awesome!

Eating in or taking out , Yamo never fails to satisfy. They've changed their tea salad recently though, making it sweeter. Chicken noodle soup , house noodles , and samusas are all good.

Walk in get the nod what's up? Then white hair lady yells "to go!?!" I get my coconut chicken noodle soup fix here! She's not mean I always get a real sweet thank you back when I thank her for my food

Love the house noodles and spicy cold noodles . There's barely any seating in the tiny hot space, so be prepared to find somewhere else to eat. I recommend Dolores Park a few blocks away.

Hilariously inexpensive food in a counter-only noodle shop . The chicken noodle soup is out of this world. Mango chicken was delicious. Spinach noodles were just okay.

Everything is delicious here - be sure to get the tea salad and house noodles with beef .

House noodle with beef is extra nice when you eat it here... Perhaps because you are more inclined to utilize the fish sauce and chili oils on the counter.

Tea leaf salad is slightly life changing. Don't make plans after your meal, you will smell (delicious) like you slaved over the flames that cooked the MSG in all it's glory.

The ladies are mean, there's generally a line , and everything is $6. Definitely go for the tea leaf salad .

Get there early to avoid the line . Maybe go in a pair (or alone) and order noodles with chicken , dumplings , and tea salad . Cash.

The house noodles are inexpensive and so good! I can do without the spring rolls next time though.

This place reminds me of Asian local street food place. Tea salad is great. House noodle looks good too. It's long line , may be better to order a takeout .

Expect to wait 15-20min for takeaway . House noodles are crazy good.

Ordered the tea leaf salad for pickup and got something really wilted, bitter and a little stale tasting. I did like the house noodles with beef , and will definitely order it again in the future.

Limited seating space. These noodles with beef were amazing & very filling. Mango salad is eh... and it's spicy . They only have / sell bottled water.

So the ventilation system is suboptimal and it's a little smoky inside but you'll get over it when you're eating the delicious Tea Leaf salad

Easily one of my favourite places in the city . Cheap and yummy.

Authentic and delicious. Small place but worth the wait. Tea salad and house noodles with chicken (or beef )... AMAZE. ????

Really cute little joint.. don't be intimated by the decor, the smallness of the place...delish food! Truly "hole in the wall " joint!

Come for the food, not the service. It can get a little soup nazi-Ish at times, but that's the beauty of it! Know what you want and don't be a jerk. :-)

Tea salad is great (and spicy ). The fried rice special is delicious. Well worth the wait and smoke.

Coconut chicken noodle soup is pretty great. Small portions, though. Also don't even think about getting seated without everyone in your party present.

incredible hole in the wall spot. mango chicken and fresh coconut juice is the order. make sure you don't plan on wearing those close any time soon cuz you're gonna smell like Burma...

The ladies who work here will cut you if you take a while to decide what you want. But in an endearing kinda way. The food is legit!

Everything is amazing...I love curry fish with rice , chicken noodle soup , house noodles/fried chow mein with chicken and samusas

Yamo House Noodles and tea salad ! Delicious and cheap . Great quick friendly service !

Noodles as amazingly delicious as the service is surly. Order fast, east faster, leave happy!

Legitimate hole in the wall that serves cheap Burmese food. Don't expect Burma Superstar quality and the portions are small. But the tea leaf salad IS yummy!

beef curry & tea - salad + house noodles & potstickers <3

Get the tea salad and house noodles with beef -- so good and cheap !

Cheap and good! Mix vegetables with noodles please! We call the ladies here the noodle nazis.

Best Burmese in San Francisco. By far. DO NOT leave without getting tea leaf salad !

The grease soaked crabby old ladies who make the food are amazing, and so is the food. It's also cheap as hell.

Hole in the wall place with very cheap food. Tea leaf salad is great.

The tea salad is the perfect blend of crunchy savory and fresh with just a tad of sweetness.

Greatest little spot, delicious, inexpensive and always good! Worth the wait!

According to a Burmese cab driver I had, this is the best (and most authentic ) Burmese food in SF.

Mango salad was a nice balance of sweet and spicy . The chow mien was oily and soggy, albeit tasty. Yamo is a good place for a cheap meal or to soak up drinks after you've had too many. Otherwise, meh.
