I first started coming here when it was still named KOME, then a couple times when it changed to a different name during the pandemic. Fast forward to present day, it is now called Daly Buffet. Upon arrival, the interior is renovated where it is more modern and seating still looks similar to the past. They now have more televisions installed for entertainment and a self serve drinking station which I think was needed so you can decide what you want to drink at your own pace. The food choices are pretty much the same as before, but they added a grill station where you pick out your ingredients with a plate and when ready you hand it to one of the cooks and they will cook it right in front of you. The process is very quick where your barbecue goods will be ready in minutes. Also by their drink station entrance, they have a little freezer filled with ice cream cups. Overall the staffs here are welcoming, well trained and understanding where my visit was a satisfying and issue free one. And this place is a plus in the area/city since this is basically the only buffet in the area. I recommend this place to anyone in need of a quick bite, to anyone willing to try something new, to all buffet enthusiasts, if you can not decide what to eat or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I might be back to tryout the other options they have to offer.

The service here is very friendly and kind. The minute I told the hostess that I was here, the first time they took the extra time to explain how things worked.

Sadly the food was just mediocre. I’m not the dreams of the old Todai of yesterday. The hot food section was okay and they spent the time to change out the dishes when they were getting low. Does seafood sushi side was absolutely horrendous. Very low quality on the sea food taste and mushy and old.

Again, the service was attentive.Our waitress even told us that there were free bottled drinks that we could have instead of just the normal fountain drink. First time coming to a buffet where they offer a variety of teas with various flavors.

Sadly, we’re here for the food and that fell short. Will we come here again is the question. The answer would probably be no unless they change some special occasion of dishes. Perhaps if there is a birthday in the family and you need a minimum of four people.

Daly Buffet was full at 1pm on a Monday. $32 w/service charge and tax for lunch. It is nice to see Daly City getting a buffet again. The food isn’t great. A lot of stuff are missing at lunch like snow crab and short ribs. The items I did like are fountain drinks, prawn crackers, malatang soup station and stir fry station. The rest are forgettable, but at least it is all you can eat.

Do you remember when Kome got hit with massive fines for wage theft and tax evasion in 2019? Then the owners rebranded it as The One. Kome used to have this coupon system where you can get 1/2 of a weird looking lobster at dinner. They also had this wonton soup station and peking duck.

Worth the money!
If you’re an avid buffet fan, you’ll definitely enjoy Daly Buffet. They offer a wide variety of dishes—from soups and noodles (you can even pick your own soup base), to chicken, fish, and pork viands—all of which are tasty and satisfying.
The steamed section is quite impressive, though I was hoping to find siomai, which unfortunately wasn’t available during my visit. The sushi bar offers a generous selection, but the rice portions were a bit too large for my liking.

Drinks are well-covered: coffee, tea, soft drinks, hot water, bottled tea, and water are all available. The place is clean and well-maintained, which adds to the dining experience.

Tip: Arrive early—tables fill up quickly! Also, parking is free at the next building, which is a big plus.

This Seafood Buffet is served in a clean environment and offered at a low cost, compared to California’s high price market. The selection being offered is a wide range of Asian cultured specialty foods, including hot self-selected choices & soups cooked by the Chef. There are salads choices with fresh fruit & deserts for those with a sweet craving. The dining area is very large and can be prepared for company parties.

Come early for the best experience. A group of 11 people just had a nice time recently on a Wednesday about 20 days following the opening. You have to pay ahead and then wait for your number to be called and then you are escorted to your tables. The total for a group of 11 people including nine seniors was $311.50 which included a 8% charge. I understand the service charge rises to 12% if your group is 20 or more. Though the food is not gourmet quality. Some of the highlights were the fresh sushi, teppan grill, steamed dim sum, and build your own soup which included items such as abalone, and clams. There was a drink station which included hot drinks and cold drinks and even a refrigerator section with cans and bottles. Very impressive I thought. There was a section of refrigerator ice cream already in individual portions that I liked. It’s been 5 years since the pandemic closed The One a buffet that only opened for a month. The Daly Buffet should do well here with the birthday celebrations and other celebrations including red egg and ginger parties etc. etc. Check it out.

The place itself is honestly impressive. The decor is modern, clean, and really well thought out. From the moment you walk in, you can see they’ve invested a lot in making the restaurant visually appealing. They even have a giant screen at the entrance that grabs your attention immediately.

But unfortunately, the food experience doesn’t match the atmosphere. While there were a few dishes that tasted really good, many others were either bland, overcooked, or just lacked flavor altogether. On top of that, they were very slow to restock the trays. At 1:30 PM—prime lunch time and still a full hour before closing—there were already several empty trays that hadn’t been refilled for a while.

One thing that really stood out (in a bad way) was the handwritten “Cashier” sign taped over the big screen at the entrance. It completely ruins the nice first impression the restaurant gives. For a place that looks so well designed, this cheap and unprofessional detail makes no sense. It feels rushed and out of place.

Overall, Daly Buffet has a lot of potential, but they really need to improve on food quality, speed of restocking, and small but important presentation details like signage. The look of the place sets high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience falls short.

Went to check out this new buffet today they’ve changed things up and I actually really liked it! You get a number when you walk in, then they call you to pay before eating. No tipping required, but if a server helps you clear plates, it’s still nice to leave a little something when you leave.
The stir-fried dishes were super tasty and fresh, and they had tons of seafood definitely worth the ~$40 price tag. Sushi and sashimi were fresh too, but I think they forgot to add vinegar to the sushi rice Oh well, still good.
Dim sum was so-so (tasted like cold storage stuff), but they also had teppanyaki and a DIY spicy hot pot area, which was pretty cool. Prices are a bit higher on weekends, but honestly, for this variety and quality, I’d say it’s a great deal.

A Promising New Start for a Familiar Spot, But Major Improvements Needed.

As a local who has seen a few restaurants come and go in this exact spot, I was excited to see Daly Buffet open its doors. We went to celebrate my dad’s birthday and to check it out during its opening week. Be prepared for a wait—we arrived at 11:30 AM and waited about an hour to be seated.
There are some definite bright spots. The interactive Malatang station, where you pick your ingredients for a custom soup, is a fantastic touch. The same goes for the teppan grill. Having self-serve bottled drinks included in the price is also a huge plus.
However, the buffet is showing some serious growing pains. The biggest issue was the food stock. By 12:30 PM, many of the trays were empty, which is tough during the peak lunch rush. The overall food quality was decent but didn’t quite live up to the level of Kome, the previous buffet here. Long lines for the stations and a typically chaotic buffet atmosphere are to be expected.
I’m rooting for Daly Buffet and hope it succeeds where others have failed. To do that, they’ll need to focus on keeping the trays full and managing the crowds more efficiently.
