Yamo

"Yamo is a tiny, cash-only Burmese spot in the Mission. You're sliding up to the counter for their excellent garlic noodles that are wok-tossed with copious amounts of fried garlic and meat. They also have a solid tea leaf salad worth your time, plus other stir-fried dishes like mango chicken and black bean tofu. At $8 per entree, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal in the neighborhood, much less the whole of SF." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong

"At this tiny, no-frills Burmese diner, everything on the menu — from the assortment of curries to the garlicky house noodles — will run you no more than $8, cash only. It might be the best bang for your buck of any restaurant in the city." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

"Yamo is a tiny, cash-only Burmese spot about a 10-minute walk from Dolores Park, and it’s where you should go for fantastic wok-tossed noodle dishes. We’re especially big fans of the tea leaf salad and the Yamo house noodles with garlic and pork. Not only are both delicious, but they cost $8 each—as do most of the dishes on the menu. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal in the city." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez

"The tea leaf salad at this tiny, counter-service Mission restaurant is the cheapest on the list (it clocks in at only $8, and heads up, cash only), and for the price, it gets the job done. Tea leaves, onions, fried beans, nuts, and sesame seeds are plentiful, but, overall, it’s missing the special wow factor that other tea leaf salads have. This salad isn’t huge, like the one at Mandalay, nor is there an elaborate mixing show like at Burma Superstar. But it'll fulfill your tea leaf needs in a pinch. And that’s something. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
