• We like Moonstar in Daly City because you can quickly sit and eat what you want. The quality of the food speaks for itself. Some feel the need to get their money’s worth and gourd [sic] themselves. – FoodNut.com
• The buffet was delicious, and the noodle bar is a must try. The giant clam with the clear vermicelli noodles was [sic] bomb, as well as the taro dumpling with scallops. – Anita W., Yelp
