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!

Food here is very affordable. Cash only. The line could be long since there're only about 8 seats. The only waitress is a bit rude/looks unhappy the whole time. Better for to go

The customer service while taking my order was extremely rude. When I asked about ingredients due to an allergy, I was repeatedly rushed with “anything else?” rather than being given a clear answer. She quickly recapped the order in an unclear manner and then hung up.
The food itself was blend and not much flavor, and the poor customer service made the overall experience even worse. Basic courtesy and consideration seem to have been overlooked here.
I had given it a 1 star but for price it matches the quality.

Foods good, costumer service is GREAT! I got takeout but it’s bar style seating. Great choice if you need something good and cheap.

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.
No frills hole-in-the-wall gem of SF. Love the 2 ladies in there whenever I'd be eating there with my friend.
There is no way to make reservations, you just have to come there and stand in line until it is your turn. There's only 8 seats in there, so you can't bring a big party to eat there.
Their menu is very small -- but you always know: a small menu = top notch food. My go-to menu items: tea leaf salad and Yamo's beef noodles.
In all those years since 2018, I've brought now more than 10 friends who have always come from all over the world from Ecuador, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Colombia etc. and they all LOVE Yamo's.

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!

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.

Place can be a little crowded at times but the food is delicious. 👏
fantastic noodles
In short, it is not worth it!
