Daimo Chinese Richmond

After hearing about this place from my friend, who described it as the only option for food after a night of clubbing, I had to see if the rumors were true. It turns out my friend may have overreacted (or maybe he just doesn't like Cantonese food) because Daimos is a hidden gem that should not be overlooked. I expected them to only have basic noodle soups with vegetables and traditional yellow noodles, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of dishes including dumplings, steamed fish, hot pots, and BBQ plates. I tried the BBQ pork over rice, and while it was a bit tough and not as caramelized as I usually like, it was still satisfying and filling. The service was also excellent, with the waitress serving my meal with a smile and thanking me warmly as I left. I will definitely be coming back to Daimos.

My friend always orders nuts, while I prefer salt and pepper squid - both dishes are delicious! We often go to this restaurant on Fridays after our clinical shifts and the waiters know us well.

The Cantonese cuisine at this cafe/restaurant is quite good and reasonably priced. The quality of service can vary depending on how busy the place is. Be cautious about bringing a large group as the seating arrangements might be cramped, with some guests having to sit on stools.
