A mother-daughter duo running this little establishment of 8 counter seats handling all dine-in and take-out orders, pretty impressive!
Have always seen a line outside in the past, but I happened to pass by just when they were about to open this time and was really lucky to get in the first round🥳
Sitting at the counter and seeing the food being made right before you was a nice experience, but if you don’t want to wait then getting it to-go or calling ahead (for to-go orders) will drastically cut down your wait time⏱️
I got the Yamo House Noodles with beef and the Samusas. Loved both of it - the flavor, the texture, everything. By the way, it’s a cash-only place, so make sure you have cash on you when you come💵
Hidden gem in SF.
Go here if you want bang for your buck, homely and authentic food.
You need to adjust your expectations for sure but won’t be disappointed.
Created out of love by the mother and daughter duo.
We had the house noodles with chicken and samusas, both were delicious and really good for the cheap prices. Service is friendly and efficient. There’s not much space to sit and is cash only.
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.

There are only two people working there. If you are in a hurry, just skip this place. They cook as they take your order. Your waiting time could be easily around 45 minutes.
If you want to eat cheap and good and have some spare time, this is the place.
The place is VERY SMALL. Workers are nice.
Would definitely come back.
Is a cash only place.
As Sep 2023 / $8 the main dishes and $5 appetizers.
Super tasty little spot. Staff is friendly and efficient. Place is tiny so prepare to wait. Def worth the wait. Prices are super cheap. Loved the tea salad and garlic noodles. Don’t miss the chili sauce!
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.
I got the house noodle w/ beef $8, and I love how garlicky it is. A good portion, very very decent for the price. You can’t really go wrong if you just need some good cheap eat in SF.
Awesome, delicious, cheap. The only place in the nabe with a line and the wonderful sassy lady taking orders knew the people near me waiting for food with names like “Sister” and “Breakfast”. These people were regulars and some of them even knew each other from their regular patronage. Got the garlic noodles with chicken and they were so yummy. Worth the wait and a fun discovery experience. Check out the art alley nearby.
If you’re looking for an authentic inside-your-moms-kitchen experience this is the place. Waited on line for a bit but we’ll worth it. Food was delicious, freshly prepared in front of you and full of flavor. Prices are dirt cheap. This place was amazing.
