All of their meats were fresh, well tempered (not stale/straight out of the freezer). Condiment bar was self serve and had a wide selection to customize your sauce. Their veggies were also very fresh & the appetizers such as wings & the squid ink dumpling were AMAZING. Soft drinks are also included in the Premium AYCE price at $45/pp after tax. All of their waitstaff we interacted with were kind, patient, attentive, and helpful. Their seating layout is also notable-- each individual table was enclosed, it gave a more cozy/private feel rather than loud & overstimulating despite dining during peak hour. If I could critique even just one thing, it'd be the dessert options, almond pudding and ice jelly were a bit disappointing to end the meal with cuz they weren't great in our opinion, but not problematic enough for me to dock a star. Next time I'm craving hotpot, Daimaru will absolutely be at the top of my choice list moving forward!

It's also a great place for celebrating birthdays for all ages. There's a huge selection of soup bases, meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, and sauces, so everyone at the table can customize their hot pot exactly how they like it. This is one of the best hot pot experiences I've had. All the ingredients were fresh and of great quality. The staff are very attentive and make sure of providing the best customer experience. They have a sauce buffet and dessert buffet for extra charge. Also semi-buffet is available every night from 8:30pm. The atmosphere is lively; they make hand-pulled noodles at your table and have special performances throughout the meal.

The AYCE comes with your choice of one soup base for free, but you can get multiple split pots for an additional cost. You get your DIY sauce station with light snacks on the side like fruit, edamame beans, tomatoes, etc. With the AYCE late night special, you have to get up to grab all your own ingredients other than the meats that get brought out to you. Of course the menu selection is smaller than their usual dining but it's quite worth it imo. You can get proteins like marbled beef, lamb shoulder, pork, chicken, and flat iron steak. For the other hot pot classics and vegetable options you can find things like quail eggs, frozen tofu, fish tofu, konjac noodles, imitation crab, assortment of fish balls, cabbage, enoki mushroom, and much more. Service is great as always and very attentive. You can expect long waits even late at night so best to make a reservation in advance. Overall, a great deal with some great food, especially if you're looking for some late night eats.

The…read morerestaurant has a traditional Chinese feel, tucked behind heavy doors, and the buffet selection is very generous. There were lots of seafood options including fish, shrimp, squid, clams, and mussels, plus plenty of beef, meat, vegetables, and hot pot sides. We also liked that soft drinks, fried food, desserts, ice cream, and popsicles were included and self-serve. Chef-special items such as abalone are limited to two per person, which is fair. It is also family-friendly: they have highchairs, kids' utensils, and a changing table available. A great option for a group dinner or family hot pot night in Markham.

Food quality was okay because the items are sitting out in the open area for you to grab. It is AYCE hot pot, but you need to pay for the broth ($16.99). We had the choice to choose 4 additional "premium items" for free, but these items were just OK. The meats and premium items are ordered through the iPad, and the rest of the foods, you can serve yourself at the food bar. I like that there were so many different options, including a hot food bar, deep fried appetizers, dessert bar, drinks, sauce bar, snack bar, and dessert bar. Seats are very spacious and the restaurant itself is massive. I'm rating this restaurant 3/5 because of the lack of service and freshness/quality of food. But overall, I did enjoy my experience here and would come back in the future.

The second and after ended up being mostly frozen meat, as in meat that was STILL frozen. This makes the meat like a cardboard when cooked. The dessert station is very disappointing. Just cold jelly, sprinkles, fruits, hawthornes. The diced up watermelon is not appetizing. There's cake beside sesame oil dispenser.

This place is very red - the tables, chairs, and decor! It's also very pretty, like a little village in China, with lots of hanging lanterns. I like it! They offer all-you-can-eat, with tons of choices and also a choice of two broths for cooking. One of our choices was loaded with chili peppers and chili oil. It was HOT! We ordered a variety of meats, vegetables, noodles, and more. The portions of each looked huge! We almost declined some of it but surprisingly, we finished it all. Wow! Everything tasted really good, especially with some of the mix-your-own dipping sauces.

They have hotpot, BBQ, dim sum, seafood, and plenty of options, which makes it a great choice when dining with a group because everyone can find something they enjoy. The meat quality was good, and the newly renovated restaurant has a spacious, comfortable atmosphere that works well for family meals and celebrations. The $39.99 AYCE menu provides good value considering the number of options available. The hotpot broth was okay -- enjoyable but not the highlight of the meal. I think this place shines more for the variety, BBQ options, and overall dining experience. Parents will appreciate that high chairs and booster seats are available. However, there is no changing table, no kids' utensils, and the washroom is outside the restaurant. Overall, a nice Richmond Hill spot for AYCE hotpot and BBQ, especially for families and larger groups. Would come back to try more dishes!

Each person can also have their own small hotpot to operate with individual soup base. The slices of meat is about the thinnest you can imagine but you can always order more! The side dishes and desserts may also run out during busy times so best to grab them when you can. Overall, a good variety of food in a spacious and comfortable environment. P.S. Understanding of English may not be the best but that's what you get from an authentically Chinese hotpot place.

Came back here after not liking it the first time since so many of our friends love this place…read more Glad we did as we ordered improperly the first time. Originally we were unimpressed by the raw chicken broth where you cook an entire chicken in the broth and it came out overcooked and not that special. Also wasn't impressed with the à la carte ordered items. However, this restaurant isn't traditional hot pot. You will do better if you order there specialties. Get the cooked chicken version and only put it in the broth for a 3-4 minutes to avoid overcooking. Btw it's great they refill the broth with more broth. Most hot pot places just use hot water that dilutes. Their chinese sausage clay pot rice was also very good. Osmanthus clam was excellent. Meatball mixed order was a pass. The beef was also good. Service was excellent and attentive. They filled our soup bowls, skimmed the waste off our broth a few times and filled our leftover containers for us. Ambiance is cool as it's decorated like a honk Kong hawker area. Will be back.

My husband enjoyed the wings, and we both liked the seasoning on the corn ribs. We were too full for dessert, so we took our milk pudding home.
