Daimaru Sukiyaki

What is Daimaru Sukiyaki? Located inside the commercial plaza at 390 Silver Star Boulevard in Scarborough, Daimaru is an all-you-can-eat Japanese hot pot and sukiyaki room launched by the operators behind Gyubee Japanese Grill. The dining area features bamboo dividers between private booths, warm mood lighting, and sleek induction tables that keep the focus on individual hot pots. It offers a much calmer, more intimate atmosphere than typical cavernous hot pot halls.

Daimaru Sukiyaki Menu & What to Order The benchmark broth here is the signature sweet-soy sukiyaki dashi, crafted to coat paper-thin ribbons of beef before you dip them into whisked raw or custardy onsen eggs. Climbing to the Premium or Wagyu sets earns access to tender chuck flat, marbled brisket, black ink squid dumplings, and garlic-marinated pork ribs alongside endless greens and mushrooms. Order a round of crispy, peppery Nagoya-style chicken wings and cold Japanese beer while waiting for the broth to boil, and finish with creamy Hokkaido milk pudding or soft serve ice cream.
