I went to Yamo with a friend after seeing "The Punk Singer" (super awesome documentary about Kathleen Hanna). Yamo is a Burmese/Chinese place off Mission. Its one of those hole in the wall Asian spots that usually has a line out the door. We waited for 20 minutes in the rain to get seats. The sogginess and wait was well worth it.

My friend and I shared the Tea Salad, Curry Beef and Yamo Noodles. All of which were tasty and flavorful. The Tea Salad was a very good mix of sweet and spicy with a nice crunchy texture. The beef was incredible. The noodles were yummy and cooked just right.

This is one of those places that is really small with limited space that can cook and serve great food in a fairly prompt fashion without seeming to rush the experience. If you are chilling in the area and craving Asian food, this is the place you should find and eat at.

Maus Scale 1-10 (10 being unbearably awesome)
Location 6
Parking 5
Access 7
Ordering 8
Seating 3
Service 6
Punctuality 9
Food 8
Average 6.5
(keep in mind this is an average of very different service qualities. If I score Food a 10 for example and the average score is a 5 or 6 due to parking or location, it is still work trying if you like good food). 

*please remember, those of you that are the kind of people that can't grasp gradual scales and only see black and white, that scoring a 9 or 10 is very difficult.

As always I like to tip between 10-20% on a scale based on quality of service. So even if you are a crappy waitperson, you will still get 10% (unless you were a total douche).
