It's very very good for the price. The food tasted authentic and flavorful. It's not a big place and is always busy. We got there right at the opening time and it's already packed. The line right outside is for waiting for picking ups. Just walk straight in and order. It's cash only.

One of the last reasonably-priced Burmese spots in the city. $10 for a whole meal is unbeatable! That said, the food is good but not incredible. The service is welcoming, the place feels cozy (& quite literally can only fit about 6-8 people max). Definitely more of a to-go service. Recommend going here for a quick warming and affordable biteVegetarian options: you can pretty much have anything vegetarian j take replace the meat with tofu or no meat

This mom and daughter place is a great deal and the food is very tasty for the most part, but it has quirks. Worth it though for the tasty and cheap food. Quirks:- Very little counter seating inside, and sometimes it’s a very long wait. Cash only- It can take anywhere from 25 min - 50 min to get your takeout order. Call 45 min ahead of time. Even then, be prepared to wait another ~10-15 min by the door when you get there. But it’s because it’s just 2 people taking orders and cooking.- Looks like this may now be fixed, but for several YEARS Google maps said they were open for lunch when they weren’t. Heads up that they open only at 5:30 pm!!- Michelle (the daughter) is very kind overall, but can get a bit curt with customers if they’re crowding the door. I get it though: it’s just 2 of them and a stressful job managing a long line.One time, a guy pushed his way in and knocked over my food that they were about to give me. I appreciated how gracious Michelle was and how well she managed that situation! She kept calm, apologized to me (even though it wasn’t her fault), prioritized making me a replacement dish right away, and offered not to charge me for it.As for the food, it’s tasty and vegetarian friendly! I like the spinach noodles with tofu. The tea leaf salad was a bit too sour and over the top in flavor for my taste, but I liked it a lot more once I added my own cucumbers to it to dilute the flavor. May put it over my own spring mix next time - highly recommend doing that.

Burmese Home cooking at it’s best. Like visiting Grandma and eating your best meal ever. Fun & fast with 8 counter seats. Be prepared to stand in line. Had the tea tree salad and spinach chili noodles.

Its mid. You're not getting a deal or something for the price. Wait 40 minutes to sit down. Goofy attitude from the chick taking orders. ?

Always amazing. Incredible how they’ve kept the prices down even through COVID. House noodle with beef and the tea leaf salad are absolutely incredible. Cash only.

The food is good (and not just for the price, just good good), and if you like hole-in-the wall eateries this is it. But honestly the price is what's amazing. I mean where else can you get $6-8 bowl of noodles or fried rice, and in San Francisco of all places.

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.

Arrived around 7pm on a Wednesday, there was a short line outside for seats but we wanted to order to-go anyway. We placed our order and about 15-20 min later it was ready! The Yamo House Noodles are the way to go if you love noodles and garlic. Tea Leaf Salad is also yummy but spicy (but like kid spicy - not actually spicy if you’re someone who eats hot stuff). Also, I’ve seen some other folks say the service is bad but nah, it’s not. They’re two ppl trying to feed folks at the counter, fulfill to-go orders and call-ins. They just being as efficient as possible.Vegetarian options: About a third of the menu items are vegetarian.Parking: Street parking only.

This used to be a place for cheap-but-satisfying eats. Nowadays, prices have been approaching other nicer restaurants, and it's also been closed way more than advertised (do NOT trust the hours on Google Maps - I've tried changing them numerous times, but they keep showing open even when they're not).
