Yamo is one of my most sacred gems of the mission district. Cash-Only, hole in the wall, fast paced service for the best, cheap, burmese noodles in the city. What makes it good is the heart and integrity the wonderful front woman Michelle puts into the place. She remembers her regulars, and is about her business. Running a tight ship with Mama, Michelle carries the restaurant with heart and pride. Recently the famous house noodle went from $8 to $9, but that’s just a sign of the times. My go-to is the $5 potstickers, I can’t find any other place that makes them as yummy as these wonderful ladies.
I found this place as it’s pretty integrated into the local skate culture, which The Chronical details in an awesome piece which you can read here: https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/yamo-noodles-burmese-menu-18168451.php
In all honesty, the popularity and tight-knit nature of the place does come with a mild wait most times, but it is so worth it after a long day at Dolo / paroozing Valencia.
Pro Tip: When arriving to the door, just ask the nearest person if they are waiting to dine in, or getting take-out; then act accordingly. There’s only about 8 seats inside so takeout is usually my go to✨

So I work in Williamsburg and as of lately I have been obsessed with this place called ramen adante. I used be a big pho person, still love pho but it’s hard to find good Vietnamese in New York. Anyways I have been ordering this dish called yaki ramen, it’s a broth less ramen with chicken meat and chicken broth, hands down amazing.

Delicious, cheap, quiet Vietnamese food on 1st and 1st. Let me customize my vermicelli bowel ❤️.
Realizing as I write this one that, holy shit, I’ve gone here a couple times this past year and originally got the rec from the PI newsletter. We are full circle and thriving!

i will never settle down somewhere that is not next to an ocean i will never be land locked for a long period of time i will always be most comfortable within an hour driving range of the ocean
one time on a road trip to nevada as a kid i overheard the gas station lady saying she had only seen the ocean 3 times and it was the saddest thing i had ever heard i thought about it for the rest of the trip
some people will never see the ocean and some people only a few times
the ocean and shore and the smell and the experience are the most stable thing i can call home and will always give me That Feeling
