Westlake used to be a "dying" quaint mall in Daly City. Thanks to Kimco Realty, it is now a bustling shopping center. The upgrade has its pros and cons. It revitalized Westlake as a destination. You got Home Depot, Trader Joe's, World Market's, Walgreens, DSW Shoes, TJ Maxx (coming soon), Starbuck's, Slider's USA (great burgers), Nation's GIANT Hamburger, Pho Ho Hiep, Burlington Coat Factory, Linen N' Things, Hollywood Video, Beverly's, and a bunch more restaurants. The cons: IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS PACKED. Parking is very difficult - small spaces. I recommend parking by Home Depot if you don't mind walking or if you like going around in circles looking for parking. Traffic is now a problem along John Daly Blvd. Drivers who ignore the yellow light and try to squeeze ends up blocking the main highway. Take SAMTRANS if you may.
Otherwise, it's a nice alternative to the ALSO crowded Serramonte Center.
