Had Dinner here on Sunday 7/12/2026. Upon arrival the hostess tried to check in my Mom, but she wanted to get out while we find parking in the garage. The same lady ended up ringing us up, we tried to avoid her but the other hostess was helping out a bigger group of people. She tried to seat us by the big TV, but my Mom wanted somewhere near the Buffet area. So she pointed us by the Sushi Bar and next to a Big Family when there were empty tables the next row back! Every time she was seating a group she glanced at us and kept giving us dirty looks. We told the Bus Boy Carlos how rude she was to us and he agreed. It wasn't even a busy night. But overall the food was good. A lot of options to choose from. Got our money's worth despite the rude hostess girl. She dressed up like she should be a Bank Account but if you don't like your job you shouldn't be working here read more

This was an ok place, as buffets go. I didn't waste time with all of the fluff stuff and got straight to business. After doing my walk around to see what they had, I went to the front and got the razor clam soup, garlic abalone and king crab legs. You are limited to one serving at a time for those. The clams and abalone were good, but the crab legs were dry, as expected of all crab legs at buffets. I also loaded up at the seafood station, getting sea snails (which were very tasty), shrimp cocktail and octopus. Went back seconds of the razor clams and abalone. 3rd round was some korean marinated short ribs, which were quite tasty, some shrimp boil and stir fried broccoli. Finished with some gelatin dessert, ice cream and some sort of fruit creme cake. read more

How exciting that a new buffet place opened in Daly City!! Made a trip with the wifey for lunch to check it out for its soft opening. We came around 11:20am and the lobby was packed like crazy. It felt like the New York Stock Exchange with people screaming and bunching up at the counter to get seated. I think what caused it was their POS system was down so kudos to the Hostess for handling all the screaming people with grace. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like you pay first before getting seated. The hostess made an executive decision to have people seated and just pay after. Once she did that we were seated in minutes. The place is fairly huge with a lot of seating. The food trays were nice and organized with dim sum in the front hot foods, in the middle and sushi/desserts towards the back. The food selection is pretty good with hot foods, dim sum, sushi and Malatang. I did miss getting bbq which they had as well. The food is very reminiscent of Kome which is not a bad thing. What I was impressed with most was their drink section, they had a great selection of fountain drinks and even milk tea!! I have to confess that I was a bit under the weather so didn't get a chance to gorge as much as I wanted not having too much of an appetite. But I gotta do it for the people! I hope Daly does well and I will definitely come back. It's been too long since we've had a buffet restaurant in the Peninsula that is not hot pot. Lunch pricing is $25.99 which is very fair. Remembering the days we had places like Moonstar, Kome and Hokkaido. Make buffets great again! read more

More variety and delicious meals that can cater your events without any worries , We really enjoy the food

This place has decent snow crab legs and noodle soup. They let you drink bottled ice tea, but you must finish the entire bottle there or else they will not allow you to bring it with you when you leave. read more

The food was very underwhelming and had no taste at all the fried rice was horribly undercooked. The price is way too high for the lack of quality in the food read more

We went around dinner opening and so was seated quickly, and the restaurant offers plenty of options--sushi, grilled meats, and noodle soups. Drinks are unlimited and self-serve, which was convenient. Flavors were decent overall, though dinner is definitely on the pricier side. One thing I didn't love was the limit of only two meats on the grill at a time, even though there wasn't a line. Overall, it's a decent spot but nothing really stood out as expected from a buffet. Parking is easy since it's next to the big parking lot that is shared with the movie theatre. read more

Food is decent. It's Tahoe / Reno Level. Don't expect Vegas Level. Service is fast, they clear your table of dirty plates asap, longest wait on a busy day can be 10-20 min. Loud & busy majority of the time. They have a back room for large parties. Good place for graduations, birthdays, etc. I always come back. I recommend you try it. read more

If you are expecting the same kind of food quality as the previous buffet that it took over "Kome", don't. The food here is just okay. It gets the job done to satisfy your hunger and the need to eat at a buffet. Their sushi station can't compete with what Kome had. I miss the buffets pre-covid. One thing I like about this place is their drink options. Lots to choose from. The place is huge so it can definitely accommodate a big group or a party. Workers are good at taking your plates away when you're done. I only come here when I am in the mood for a buffet and also because there isn't a lot of buffets to choose from around the area. So, I'm kind of stuck with this one if I want to stay local. read more

Invited to lunch at Daly. This place is at least the 3rd buffet restaurant all under a different name. Looks like slightly remodeled but basic set up still the same. We had 20 people and had 3 tables of 8 people in the back private room. We went for lunch on a Friday and we were all seniors. Good choice of variety and most dishes were decent to some were very good. Service of the waiter in the private room was very efficient. Lots of variety and even the help yourself to drinks was plentiful. I heard usually you have 1-1/2 hours to eat and they want you out but we were able to stay over 2 hours without being asked to leave. I think it wasn't that crowded. Overall okay buffet but seniors can't really eat that much! read more

I've been here decades ago when it was Tomei and Kome. I'm glad they are back remodeled with more options than you can eat. It's incredible the variety they offer from raw fish (sushi) to dim sum and even fries and pizza for the little ones. I didn't take any pictures because their website and all the pictures already posted gives you a good deal of what they have to offer. I like trying everything so for me, the challenge is to pace yourself and get a little of what I wanted to try so I can go back and get more if I wanted. There's just so much variety and they have several stations with several different soups, small variety of dim sum, American and Japanese cold salads, classic cantonese dishes along with crab legs and short ribs. How can you go wrong? One of my favorite was the abalone soup - it was soothing and reminded me of the homemade soup the older generation often made. That hit the spot and was so comforting. There's unlimited drinks - from canned to bottled asian drinks and soda from the fountain to tea and hot chocolate in the separate beverage section. They offer a free birthday meal but it has to be within a 2 day window of the actual date. The dessert section had cookies, all types of jello and assortment of small cakes. It's good that the cakes are small so you can try the other flavors if you want without being too stuffed. Prime time at noon and 6pm on weekends are probably the busiest and you can tell how long the wait will be to get seated by the size of the crowd waiting in the lobby. There's free parking in the nearby garage so that is very convenient. I would say the only down side is the price for the younger kids is on the high side because they usually don't/can't eat that much. There is a 8% charge in addition to tax at 9.8%. To summarize - what's not to like? Bring your appetite to get your money's worth. read more

It was a weekday when we 4 came in for lunch. No line! We were celebrating my birthday with a couple friends. Too bad I missed the 2 day mark after my birthday for a free birthday lunch. Service was good; friendly; Clean; spacious. I was impressed with the sushi! Fresh! My fave overall. Was disappointed with the dim sum. They didn't have any of the regular dim sums you see generally. Also, I didn't see boba. Maybe that's dinner time? Build your own soup! That was good. Unlimited fountain drinks, green tea, coffee, and water. They had a small dessert for me & sang happy birthday. Overall, I think it was a good. I would go there again. read more

Honestly... this might just be my guilty pleasure... don't tell anyone. You pay before you eat (which imo makes perfect sense). Dinner is $36 per person and lunch is $27 (definitely come for lunch instead, its more worth it). They have a drink bar with sodas and fridged drinks (and coffee + Lipton tea). I personally liked their Pear juice with rock sugar! Really refreshing and it's fun to try all the drinks out too! What makes this buffet stand out is their teppanyaki grill and malatang bar. They have great selections within those two stations. The grill has great beef short ribs (you can only grab two at a time but just get back in line afterwards) marinated surprisingly well. Their bulgolgi is actually super good too (I like to add onions + bell peppers). I don't recommend getting the pork belly just because its not AS tasty. Don't need to wasting those valuable calories there. The Malatang bar has 4 different soup flavors: Mala, tomato, Thai, and regular bone soup. I got the regular bone soup and it's pretty refreshing. Their sushi and raw fish was solid and tastes exactly as you want it to taste and NO upset stomach after (huge win!). Their crab is definitely not worth getting, personally. It was kinda bad and bad NOT as in rancid but bad as in the meat was kinda snowflakey and not the taste I like in crab - but thats just me! Their dimsum, however, is 1000% skippable. It's basically frozen dim sum they steamed up. I don't recommend that. Their regular buffet food (orange chicken, mein, fried rice, broccoli, etc) is all really solid. Tastes exactly like American Chinese food. They also have a chocolate fountain. Oh how I missed that chocolate fountain from the moonstar days. How I miss moonstar and kome. This place is filling a vacancy this area has needed for a while. Welcome back, buffets. read more

So much selection! This place was able to accommodate our party of almost 50 people. If you call ahead and they're available, they can probably put your party in the back room for more privacy. They were attentive and quick with getting the empty plates. Seafood seemed pretty fresh and good for buffet food. They even had a mala tang station. We came here for lunch and dinner on different occasions and the selection is pretty much the same so come at lunch for a better bang for buck. Dinner starts at 3:30pm. They also have discount for seniors. This is a place I'll bring my friends and family to whenever they visit. read more

Great good and services. I come here a lot. One of best ayce ................. everyone should try here

I didn't take photos but this place is huge. all the way in the back is the sashimi/sushi/cold seafood section (shrimp cocktail, oysters), also some soup, desserts, fresh fruit is in the corner of this side and closest to the door; to the right when facing the sushi is the hot seafood (crawfish, clams, calamari). if you were to turn around there alone the same wall is hot asian food (chow fun, lo mein, BBQ (2 pieces per person, per round). keep going along this wall is the mala tang bar, then the snow crab/mussels, and dim sum. the other side of the sushi section has the drinks; I went around 1:30pm and it was packed but still had enough room to navigate through the people. it was good timing because as we were getting full/getting ready to leave the line for BBQ started forming. drinks range from soda on tap, iced tea, and bottled beverages: arrowhead water, jasmine tea, jasmine tea with honey, pear juice with rock sugar, and black tea with lemon. the mala tang bar has 4 soup bases to choose from. the thai one is more sour than spicy, with a hint of coconut as well. will definitely be back! read more

There's a lot of variety of food. Pay at the front, with lunch and dinner. Good parking

You get what you pay for! This place was poppin on a Friday afternoon for lunch and was filled with seniors for the lunch discounts. I was surprised they had an open beverage bar with refrigerators full of bottled drinks. Feels like I can get a little bit of money's worth on that. There's soup, sushi, appetizers, your typical asian cuisine items, malatang, dim sum, fruits, and ice cream. The seating was almost the same as the previous Kome. Automatic service charge included in your bill (8%.) read more

Daly buffet was such a letdown and definitely one of those places where you're just praying you don't get sick afterward. I even went right at 11am when they opened thinking it'd be fresh. I usually hate wasting food, but I straight up had to spit out so many things because they were literally rancid, the sushi felt like it had been sitting out since yesterday, and the imitation crab salad, fried donuts, pork spare ribs, and even the tofu from the mala tang were all completely inedible. To make it worse, the "clean" soup bowls still had food bits stuck to them from the dishwasher, and people were literally trying to cut in line right after you pay. The only decent things were some of the dim sum, the steamed fish, congee, and the mala tang meats, but it was still not worth $26.99 for lunch . At least the bathrooms were clean, but I'm definitely not going back. read more

Great selection of different cuisines. Perfect place to celebrate special birthdays with family and friends. Birthday person gets free meal with number of qualified guests. read more

Above average quality for a buffet, with more than the usual offerings. Thought the highlights were the bottled tea drinks, salt and pepper crab, fresh fruit, sticky rice dim sum, teriyaki chicken, roast duck, and grill items (except the kalbi was overmarinated and too tough/stringy). I am wary of freshness and do not eat sashimi or oysters at buffets, but the visual onceover I cast at the sushi bar had me reconsidering. Ultimately, stuck to the rolls, which disappeared fast but did not get replenished while we were there. If you are a fan of the buffet format, you could do much worse than Daly Buffet. Thank you, Cheryll A., for introducing and treating us to this place! read more

At my age, buffets are not usually tempting to me with my appetite shrinkage from those days in my 20's and 30's. But when a friend chose this as a weeknight reunion and reflection meal on a Thursday late afternoon, we came here. His friend recommended it after the business changed owners, management, and formats, one with a controversial and negative reputation. The latest rendition, from reading Yelp reviews, has the added menu option of hot pot and grill items, done by staff at their appointed stations. When entering, you pay at the cashier counter according to the time and fitting age categories. My friend qualified for the senior discount so his portion was 10% off. After paying, a gentleman led us to the main dining room, about halfway in towards the center area. It was very close to the beverage station (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=H_YxvIUbkSK5TVH8l-RuuA) which we appreciated. Our friend was a little behind us in parking in the structure next door (complimentary). After he was seated, I reminded them of the 90 minute time limit so we made our way to the food stations. I headed to the sushi and sashimi section in getting my 1st plate. My apologies as I forgot to take a photo of this (thought I did but must have forgot to click it); I got a variety of sashimi and maki sushi from these two sections (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=4tj_mAAQmdVRrZAhRLjeWw), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=HG8j16KWx_FbEC3x1WlJdA). My 2nd plate (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=WrHRvncu8Iuxe3T76hVN3w) was a selection from the hot foods, mainly Chinese dishes with short ribs and teriyaki/tempura items. The roast duck and BBQ pork were good but my favorite was the sauteed clams. I went to the far right food station to explore and brought back a small crock of chicken abalone soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=Y-c2BKBse6JKfgc-uDIOgw). After finishing these, I headed to the grill station and selected a few raw items and handed my plate to the grill master to prep. Here is my grill plate (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=_KPzIS5dFfqhdQSpf7cDUw) which I enjoyed though be prepared to wait as it took time to prep. My next stop was the hot pot station where, like the grill section, you fill your bowl with items before handing it to the cook who will prepare your food; you must tell him the broth base (bone broth, mala, Tom Yum, and tomato) that you want. Here is my hot pot bowl (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=vp84qvr4s2T25S2NC4C-Dw); my bowl was tomato broth with udon, Napa cabbage, tong ho leaves, beef balls, tofu, dried yuba, woodear fungus, and a few strips of beef. Here's what it looked mixed (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=2v847jcs_GL5j_dWlEjPbw). By this time I was a little over comfortably full so I had this for dessert, strawberry ice cream (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=2BMl_dmShZp5pp6VWOmy_w). Never made it to the dim sum station or another round to the sushi/sashimi section. The dining room filled up to about 3/4 full by the time we left, about 2 hours after we entered. I'm guessing they're more strict when there's lines or peak times on weekends or holidays. Our bus guy was attentive and efficient in clearing empty plates, bowls, and utensils. The bill adds an automatic 8% but we left him additional $ to show our gratitude. We enjoyed our meal and the other dinners were courteous. We agreed that we wouldn't mind a revisit here. *** Funny side note - while getting my food, I couldn't help hearing rumbling thuds and noises. Do remember that the theaters are upstairs and I'm guessing Superman or the Jurassic Park movie was playing. read more

Decent selections of food and drinks (not including alcohol) for you to choose from. The service is pretty fast and efficient where the waiters and waitresses would remove the dirty plates. The sushi and quality were not bad, slight fishy taste from the hamachi. I do really like their snow fungus sweet soup and their noodles. You would first have to stand in line and pay first. Then they will call your number and bring you to your seats. read more

This has the usually stuff you find at at an Asian buffet like teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, soups, fish, crab, etc. Even had stuff like regular fried chicken wings and seasoned fries. I could only one more serving of those until I got tired of it. The only saving grace, at least for me, was the salmon sashimi. I kept on going back for that and made sure I got my $45 worth (that's how much it costs for one person here). I also liked the self service drinks here and the Gold Peak Raspberry Tea option from the fountain. read more

Newly renovated. Take over Kome. Sushi was fresh and their seafood section is huge. everything is delicious. Lunch time is cheaper and night time is like extra special seafood.

Daly Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Daly City, California

It is a good overall buffet. Don't expect gourmet or Vegas style grand buffets as the price point would not support that. This buffet has a good variety of sushi, hot foods and even made to order sauté and hot pot stations. I like the fact that they don't charge extra for non alcoholic beverages. They have a good decent selection of sushi and the fish themselves are fresh enough. The hot foods are a hit or miss but I think they just don't have enough turnover so the food tend to be overdried/cooked. If the business picks up I'm sure it would be better. The wait staff are pretty good about making frequent sweeps to clear finished plates. The highlight for me would be the hotpot station with multiple soup base options and a good option of foods to put in. They need better and fresher fruit options and more desserts. I do commend this place for not forcing all parties to be present to have us seated and also not having a time limit for food intake at the moment. I would come back. read more

Pretty meh experience for Sunday dinner. Featured items like snow crab legs were small and a bit old. No dungenous but the blue crab was ok. Hardly any duck and the roast pork was bland with chewy skin. Sushi rice was gooey and the fish like salmon were of not so good quality. But with the large crowd, they prob wouldn't improve much anytime soon. read more

Sunday night dinner, $41.99 per person. Line wasn't bad and service was good. Food selection was decent, highlights were the black lava bun, raw oysters, chicken wings, abalone and snow crab legs. Food tasted ok, good value for a seafood meal in the Bay Area read more

Worst buffet ever. 1 hour wait for table, 1 hour wait for food because the line for protein that's cooked in front of you is ridiculous. The serving area is only open on one side instead of both sides to make it more efficient. Constantly ran out of dishes I had to ask for plates, sauce dishes, bowls for the soup line. Everyone was so confused and staff just shrugged like "it'll come out when it comes out". The food was ok at best. The cooked protein had zero taste, not worth waiting 1 hour in line. I think the soup bowl is the best dish. Their dessert was absolutely horrible. I'd never ever ever come back here and I would tell others to not waste your money. Not a single thing made this experience worth it. So bad, I had to come in Yelp and write a review after months of being behind on reviews. I rarely give 1 star reviews but this place deserves it. read more

Daly Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Daly City, California

I've been wanting to come to this buffet since opening to see what the buzz was about. Admittedly, I wanted to try the malatang but ended up getting too full to take any more food in haha. My family and I came here on a Saturday Afternoon. It wasn't too busy when we got inside. I will say, the interior looks great, clean, and well kept. Overall, service was ok - can't say much about that since everything is self serve as expected at a buffet (even the drinks). When it came to the food, I will say I was a bit underwhelmed. Everything was decent but no specific item stood out to me (context: I love just getting a little bit of everything so that I can try as much as I can at buffets). read more

Daly Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Daly City, California

Pretty great bang for your buck! I learned about this buffet opening up in June and had to check it out! They do not take reservations unless you have more than 20 ppl in your party (wild). My family and I went it on a Monday evening at 6:15pm and surprised to see no line! The restaurant requires you to pay in advance and if you have a birthday, they require to show ID (because the birthday meal is free!) There's so many stations which makes it such a good variety! There's dim sum, mala tang (soup), sushi, fried foods, drink station, fruit station, dessert. I don't even think I was able to try them all, so you'll definitely find me back here! read more

We stopped by Daly Buffet recently and it was an adequate experience. We went for dinner on a Saturday night and the buffet has plenty of options, such as sushi, malatang, Korean bbq, dim sum dishes, and a dessert section along with standard items such as chow mein, orange chicken, fried rice, pizza, fries, and etc. The cost is $39.99 per person (before tax/tip) for weekend dinner, and it seemed to be sort of reasonable considering the many options. However, the flavor was lacking in multiple dishes, and I did not feel satisfied with the quality of the meal. I did enjoy the Korean BBQ station where you select different meats and veggies and they grill it for you. In addition, the snow crab legs were tasty, but there is a limit on how many you can get each time. The restaurant was very crowded, and while customer service was friendly & attentive, the atmosphere was alright and nothing special. I did not like how the sushi area lacked signage and along with no information on ingredients. Therefore, it may be less ideal for people with certain dietary restrictions or for those who have food-related allergies or picky eaters. The dessert station was not great, but they do have little ice cream cups and fresh fruit available. It was a worthwhile experience, but I'm not sure if I would dine again anytime soon. read more

First time here for a bday dinner. This place is ok worth 3 star. Reason for 4 star was because the service was nice. Everyone was really nice. It's a 90 min eating time once you sit. We stayed 2 hours and am glade they didn't kick us out as that's a plus. lol. For the food everything was ok. A few dishes was a no like the raw oysters, Korean ribs(too sweet), dim sum black bean pork ribs, seaweed salad,etc. let's just get to the good ones. I like the fresh garlic abalone, abalone soup (must get), sweet plantain, hot giant snail, drinks ( honey pomelo, peach tea and red can herb drink), watermelon (super sweet ), hot & sour soup, seafood soup, make your own noodle soup bowl and fried chicken wings. Rest is ok. Overall it was a good experience. Definitely bang for your buck plus there are lots of options. Will I be back? Maybe for lunch to try it out and if others request than I'll join but I wouldn't go out of the way for it. Would I recommend? Only for first timers and if you're a buffet fan. read more

Pretty average buffet! But I will say, Kome was better. Came here on a Monday for lunch at around 10:50 and the lobby was already open. It's honestly so chaotic when you first get in, they seriously should establish a better system. Basically, you go to the middle lane, get a number, wait for your number to be called, pay for the meal, and wait again to be seated. We were number 42 and it took us about 25 minutes to get seated. The food was alright, but there wasn't a lot of variety. Two buffet stations practically had the same food. Tables were also so close together, the person behind me was basically touching my chair back to back. There was also no boba drinks, is that just for dinner? I'm not sure. People are also kind of rude and randomly cut in line, but that's not the restaurants fault. The best thing in this buffet was the malatang. Pretty worth it just for that in my opinion! Would I come back? Yeah probably, but I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for a table. read more
