When I first went, Daiu had ribeyes and scallops available for the tepanyaki and hot pot. I am very sad and I visit less now these have been removed from the buffet. Daiu is still worth a visit for the experience though.

If you enjoy Korean BBQ where you have to cook everything yourself, this is a great place! There are plenty of sauces and toppings to be able to create your perfect dipping sauce or marinade for the meat. The hot pot is hot! I didn't have this much as I'm not a massive fan of soups but the few tastes I had of this did taste good. There is a large variety of raw meats to cook yourself and even some pre-marinated meats if you didn't want to go through the effort if making your own. I'm not expert so would have appreciated some pre made sauces or marinades that I could sample myself rather than trying to make some myself and potentially not liking it and wasting it. Otherwise it was a unique experience and would return. Remember you're only allowed 1.5hrs so make sure you've always got something cooking while you eat if you're there to get as much down you as possible!
