As I understand, the name Daimo stems from the Cantonese term “day mouw ( floor squat)” which is short for “day mouw goohn”…an impromptu,likely illegal, food stand without chairs or tables where you practically have to squat to eat your food. Remembered fondly by some, these places were known for good food at cheap prices.
Daimo in Richmond is a far departure from those “day mouws” in China but is nonetheless a solid choice for those looking for traditional Chinese fare.
Their go-to dishes include their beef chow fuhn, beef stew over rice, and other assorted rice plates. Prices are moderate, but for certain items, portions are quite large.
In fact, they’re well known for their large portions. People seem to come from far away to take advantage of this.
Service is good, and the waitresses are friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a lot of windows and they give the place a bright airy feel.
If you’re in the area and looking for Chinese food, give Daimo a try. The food is good, traditional and you certainly won’t leave hungry.

Its a little retro 90s inside, but its spacious, my table was clean, they offered a complimentary hot tea & hot oil on the table for the food.
I ordered a lunch special for $15.95, I asked for her reccomendation – she suggested the beef Xo. This came with a beverage (I chose a can of coke) & a small soup (sweet & sour). The beef xo also had a side of white rice on the plate as well – which turned out great, because although the Xo is yummy, it is quite rich and salty, the white rice cuts that richness very well. The portion was also ample for a lunch serving. I say it is for sure worth it! The beef was super tender and flavorful as well. I really didnt care for the Celery in this dish though. Next time I’d ask them to leave it out, its really nothing but a filler & not a good one at that. The snow peas were a nice addition though.
I also ordered Beef & Chive chow fun i believe it was $17.95. This is a HUGE portion, so while $17.95 sounds high to me, this can easily fill 3 people with just the chow fun alone! This price is super reasonable. As far as taste of the chow fun – the beef was great and tender, I just wish the noodles were thicker and fatter. These arent typically the kind of noodles I envision when I think chow fun… this is probably closer to a thai pad see ewe noodle, still good! But i was really wanting a fatter wider noodle. The sauce was perfect – maybe id have liked it to be a little wetter even, but the flavor was good.
For appetizers i ordered a
– BBQ pork rice roll $7 8pc (my favorite thing out of everything!)
– Shrimp & Chive Dumplings 3pc (my least favorite of everything)
– Turnip cake $6 3pc (this was interesting – texturally like a mix between fake mashed potatoes & gelatin.. I didnt hate it. The seared parts were super yummy)
The shrimp & Chive Dumplings was a bit dry. Bland & a little over burnt on the seared outside. It also didnt come with any sauce. Id never order it again
The BBQ rice roll was texturally pleasant to me – with the super soft rice roll & the addition of the BBQ pork added texture + it was laying in a sort of ponzu or soju sauce which was also yummy.
Overall I’d rate everything a 4 out of 5. The service was great. The ladies were super friendly and wiling to make suggestions. They even packed my to go leftovers them selves, & didnt charge me for my extra coke… which may or may not have been intentional – either way I added what that cost would have been to their tip so it works out.
Id definitely be back!

i wish this place was good….
carrots in the turnip cake
roasted pork was hard and dry on the bottom instead of moist and flavorful.
shrimp and chive dumplings had a bad flavor, like the chives had sat for too long or something

It’s been a while since I’ve had dinner here and it is still as good as I remember! Dinner was so good tonight and excellent service as usual.
Not sure what’s up with the negative reviews, but I have been eating here for years and the food is still consistently good and tasty. We always order a variety of different main dishes and they are fresh and taste good. Generous portions.

Solid cantonese food – great stop on way back from Tahoe. Wok-fried rice noodles, fried tofu (with little pieces of fried sliced garlic), pea shoot vegetables all were excellent. While satisfying, the porridge was slightly under-salted and could use some more ginger flavoring. The Beef Cilantro soup was nice and warming but a little corn-starchy. Open, bright decor and right next to a Ranch 99 in case you need to stock up either before or after.

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.

Used to taste good. But this time I tried the shrimp and egg fried noodles, the gravy is too watery. The porridge is still very good which is smooth and tasty. The restaurant is a bit run down which needs some renovation.

This Chinese restaurant is one I could and most certainly would think of as home. They are family run and are very nice and respectful.
We came 15 minutes before closing but they were. Ice enough to sit us down and take our order and wait for us to finish our meals. They have a large variety of fresh fish and seafood meals along with traditional Chinese food.
And let me add that their quantities are MASSIVE and tasty with is notable
