Jacqueline L.March 11, 2013Be ready to wait outside for a while. The place only seats around ten people at a time.
Call them to order take out and hear the lady on the phone answer "hello, yamo!" makes my day, every time. :)
Sheila MarikarOctober 19, 2013Get the tea salad and then go to Mission Chinese. Entrees here are kind of meh.
El MongioSeptember 10, 2011Chicken noodle soup when it's cold out, Yamo cold noodles when it warm. Same great flavor.
SarahApril 18, 2015Comparable to Mission Chinese in greasiness, but less expensive. The cold noodles were great, but more lukewarm than cold.
Rehi AlaganarJanuary 26, 2012Food is cheap and tasty but not memorable. House noodles and mango salad is a winning combination. Curry is average- KevinOctober 26, 2009Great place, sometimes it takes awhile to get your food (it's a small place), but well worth it. Great prices too!
Yamo is always busy. The correct approach is to call ahead and take your food elsewhere.
Marco CaragSeptember 10, 2014Don't try to take pictures in here. Just got yelled at trying to do so.
Tim VillanuevaNovember 19, 2011Greasy delicious cheap Chinese/Burmese food made by old aunties. Did I mention greasy?
Hit or miss at times. You will smell like oil after you leave.
You can't order anything wrong off the menu, though I tend to get the Veggie Curry with Noodles. Yamo!
