Great food, bad service
I was looking for great food to eat at weekend. I remembered one of my friend told me that there is a pacific east mall in Richmond, there may be some choices. I went there and saw many people at the door to wait for being seated. I realized that this must be good. So I ate there after one and a half hour waiting. The food is excellent. I have ever eaten such delicious food before. But the service is so bad that you feel that you are begging for food not buying them.

Amazing experience
I first happened across Daimo while taking a close friend to the Pacific East Mall, and I decided to return at a later date. I will never regret it - the menu has to be the single longest of its kind I've ever seen, with cuisine ranging from the ordinary, such as sweet and sour pork, to the exotic, such as obscure seafood dishes and ostrich over fried noodles. I've been there a few times since, sometimes the full traditional Chinese dinner, sometimes each person ordering an entree and rice. The only gripes I had were the slow speed of the service, which is to be expected - it's crowded, no matter the hour, even as late as 2am - and the ambiance, which is unimpressive. The food's worth any wait.

Great food if you can take the wait and the service
I went here with a friend for dinner, and we ordered the roast duck and walnut shrimp....absolutely incredible and delicious! The shrimp was large and juicy/crunchy (in the way that large shrimp can be, almost like lobster). The duck was plump and juicy as well, and had the most perfectly crispy skin. Came back for wonton noodle soup and congee at lunch time...also excellent. Though dish timing is not great (the congee came as we were finishing our wonton noodle soup), they give large portions (both of us were so full after sharing the wonton noodle soup, we couldn't touch the congee). Knowing Cantonese, or even Mandarin, is a definite plus. When you get there, you also have to be aggressive in getting a number from the hostess (when you can find her at the front desk). Noise level is also very high (hey, it's a Cantonese restaurant), so no romantic atmosphere or or intimate conversations.
Recommended: walnut shrimp, congees, wonton noodle soups, roast duck
