What people say, in short
Yamo is a tiny Burmese restaurant in the Mission District that many diners recommend for its budget-friendly noodle bowls, with a house noodle bowl singled out as delicious and filling. One diner calls the Burmese noodles the best in the city, while another praises the pork noodles and says anything there is worth ordering. Opinions split on the tea leaf salad: one diner considers it the standout dish, while another says it is not worth ordering but the rest of the menu is excellent. Seating is very limited, and one diner notes it is cash only with lines outside, so takeout is the easier option.
