My goto for late night (9am-11:45pm 7 days a week). Always good selection and too much food for me (doggy bags to go a must) in one setting. Also, holidays when everyone else is closed.
Vegetarian options: Always ask the waiter. They know best.
Dietary restrictions: L
Parking: Has a 17 or 18 stall Tesla Superchargers just off the I80 Central Street off-ramp in Richmond/Albany area. During the day, the parking lot gets very crowded, but mornings and evenings are fine.
Kid-friendliness: Ok, but children needs supervision.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ok. Wheelchair ramps outside with handicapped parking in-front. Several times, full with handicapped customers inside.

Fantastic place~ The staff were friendly and very pleasant indeed. The dim sum took a few minutes to prepare, but the wait was well worth the while. The shu mai were delectable, juicy and steaming hot with the shrimp as a bright top note bite. The portion of sing chow mai fun(Singapore style fried vermicelli) was massive!! I got full and still took home enough for two days of tasty snacking. note~I am 5'3", so the plate was 1/10 my size. THE BEST SINGAPORE STYLE FRIED VERMICELLI THIS SIDE OF SINGAPORE!! Light curry, roast pork, shrimp and scalliwags The hot sauce was actually hot yet subtle As soon as I am capable of driving I am going back. ~Very Disabled Friendly~ MJC
Parking: One may have to walk up to 50 feet.
Wheelchair accessibility: Unlike other restaurants in the Pacific East Plaza which pay lip service to the Americans with Disabilities Act, Daimo is totally wheelchair friendly and disabled friendly. Way to go Daimo!!

this used to be my family’s favorite place. the quality of the food has declined since then and it doesn’t hit the same anymore. the noodles were mid. the ceiling is falling apart as we’re eating and walking past the bathroom i can see a cart full of dirty dishes right in front. the staff are yelling at each other from across the restaurant. overall if you think about going here i’d suggest you go to hong kong cafe which is only a few feet from the restaurant. also some things were lacking in seasoning while others were overly salty

Daimo used to be good. Last time we ate there the mixed vegetables were Almost raw. I ordered prawn pan fried noodles chow mein .waitress brought out chicken with crispy noodles. And the bbq spare ribs were these greasy battered pork chops. She insisted that's what we ordered. I sent back the chowMein just noodles with no topping. Never going again.

This place used to be my family's go-to place to eat, my Grandma's favorite, she liked the braised beef noodles. Recently, it looked like this restaurant was under new management or new owners, the quality of the food declined, we noticed this happened after the pandemics probably they loss a chef. Now, even the service was poor under new team of waiters(new faces). My famy and I had a very bad experience on the Mid Autumn dinner.... When we arrived, I was telling the staff that we had a reservation (time, # of people and my name), but actually the staff who had big eyes was not receiving me, she was greeting to someone who seemed to be acquaintant and ignored us, so I repeated again and she said "ok,ok wait a minute", then I head she was speaking to herself but I could clearly hear she was saying "慌死冇得食咩" was a Contanese phrase meant we were afraid there was nothing to eat, and it was very rude to say to someone especially to the customers. I heard it but did not want to raise a scene because it was a holiday. We ordered 6 dishes: 1/2 dozen of steamed oysters on the half shells, 1/2 roasted duck (their very best in the Bay Area), 1/2 crispy chicken, a steamed whole fish (fresh from the fish tank behind us), twin lobsters (special deal that evening), a vegetable stir-fried with salty shrimp sauce. Food came to us fast, the veggies, the oysters, the lobsters, the fish, and then we realized the appetizer roasted duck not yet showed up and we saw the two roasted hanging in the display behind us were all gone and we still hadn't receive our order, also the crispy chicken not yet showed up. The staff brought the chicken but it was steamed chicken that was not our order, soon she realized someone made a mistake on the order and also our 1/2 roasted duck went to the other table. No one was followed up on the remaining of our orders, until we called the staff over asked for the status, the manager (the one who worked behind the counter) came to tell us our roasted duck was cooking. They sold out the roasted ducks in the middle of dinner time and they had to make new batch of roasted ducks (which we believe they were supposed to be for the next day). After we almost finished all the food on our table, the crispy chicken delivered to us with lots of oil on the chips and the meat was dried. Finally the roasted duck came but the skin and the flavor both tasted like they still needed more time, they were rushing to get the ducks out to the rest of the customers and neglected on the quality. We thought the steamed oysters with black beans and garlic sauce was the best dish, however, we all had diarrhea when we got home after the dinner. All the food was fully cooked, except perhaps the oysters were under cooked or they were bad quality, we could not taste them because the black bean and garlic flavors overpowered the flavor of the oysters. So the food was bad, also the service. Unacceptable.
