Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ

First time here because my favorite daughter said we had to go. First off I've been to a few ayce Korean bbq places so I this pulsing be any better. First off the staff was amazing, friendly and better yet my kid ordered a drink (smoothie) which meant I got a milk tea for free. That's an automatic plus.We got the bbq only option because we were there to make profit and eat so much protein lol. The options were plentiful and the meat was wonderfully seasoned and not too salty (at least to me). We ate sooo much and just had a good time. How can you not like places like these.

Great place, instructions to a first time visitor can be overwhelming. Be sure to ask lots of questions. There are plenty of workers happy to answer. The challenge again is what to ask. The atmosphere was modern, clean and open. So many choices, what's for the pot and what's for the grill was my question. Didn't stop me though. What I did figure out, I took advantage and filled up to satisfaction. I will go back with an idea now where to start and what to do.

Early birthday dinner for my granddaughter. She and her sister love this place. It is delicious. It is comforting. It is clean and friendly. The food is really good. A little disappointed there was no shrimp tempura this time as that is one of my very favorites. The Ramen is always good and you can make it yours, choosing what you wish to put in it and the flavor of the broth. Have been here several times and never disappointed.

This is the second volcano location I've been too and it didn't disappoint. Came here for lunch and opt for both hotpot and bbq. It was only a $5 different. Items were fresh and there were a lot to choose from. Veggies to meat. The sauce bar is decent as well. I usually get the Tom yum soup and it wasn't too spicy for ones who can't handle the spice. Friendly staff. Plenty of tables.

I would not call myself a Hot Pot fan but I was here for a family dinner. They have a one price all you can eat model (90 minutes max). You choose your broth and they have a buffet style set up so you can choose what noodles you would like and you add vegies, dumplings or as much as various types of seafood. Additionally, they have a few prepared hot items like spring rolls and pot stickers. The food was all fresh and presented nicely. The staff was friendly and seemed to really be invested in you enjoying the meal. I don't know that I would have chose this for myself but I will say since this was a family function I was satisfied and it was not bad at all.

Nicely decorated place with large booths. It's okay; probably of more interest to hot pot lovers than to Korean BBQ fans. Buffet-style ingredient selection. I think the food quality is better at some alternatives such as KPOT, SoGongDong, and Gyu-Kaku, but if you're in the area it's worth a try.

Taking the family out was a great experience. The service was excellent, and while the unlimited meat selection was smaller compared to other BBQ places we've been to, it was still satisfying. This place is great for Korean BBQ, though it lacked the typical Korean side dishes (banchan) if you're looking for a full Korean cuisine experience. Despite this, it's highly recommended and worth a visit.

Finally tried out this hot pot location. This is my second experience with hot pot. I liked that it was buffet style for the items so that I didn't have to wait for a conveyer belt to bring things around. I did feel the server sort of expected us to know exactly what to do, and since this was only our second time we had a few confusing moments. The tags above each item on the buffet actually had the cook time, which we didn't notice until we were almost done with our meal. The tags are a shiny gold and with the lighting at the time, a bit hard to read. I wish they had something by the table or just that the server did a quick run down of most items cook this long. I did get the Tom yum broth and added some extra sauces to it. This broth was very delicious. Lots of flavor, probably didn't need to add. We also did the BBQ but probably next time I would just do the hot pot.

Always great service and fresh food. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Ask for rice with your bbq

VISIT DATE: 3/9/24Newer hot pot and Korean BBQ place, which has expanded to the Winter Garden Village plaza. It's a pretty big location, but it can get busy during the peak dinner rush. FOOD: I really enjoy the variety of protein, fresh veggies, and hot dishes. The hot pot proteins (beef and lamb) are rolled. One downside was that there wasn't any rolled chicken that I saw for hot pot. There were plenty of options for seafood. There are also separate proteins for Korean BBQ, as well as a line of hot food (fries, spring rolls, etc.). The base option is for hot pot with an option to add on Korean BBQ. Either way, both will be at your table because of how the tables are set up. With this type of food, you get to play chef, so if the food doesn't taste good, it's mostly on you. But have no fear because they do have broth options to start, as well as a robust sauce bar, so you can add some additional flavors to your hot pot or Korean BBQ based on your preference.I ordered the original with bone, which was delicious. You can also request some white rice too. Finally, there are ice cream cups (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry), which are just meh, plus some fruit. To be fair, I don't go to hot pot/Korean BBQ for the desserts usually.SERVICE: Once the servers take your order and bring your hot pot, their service is limited to snagging your dirty dishes and refilling your drinks. Jon was our server, and he was awesome. ATMOSPHERE: Like I mentioned, this place is new and clean. Note, this review was from lunch on a Saturday, so it wasn't especially busy. Yes, I'll be back. Volcano has always been a favorite. They have one on 192, and I'm glad they're expanding.NOTES:* 90-minute maximum time for tables once you order.* Check your cook times or ask if you're not sure.* Avoid peak times if you have a large party or you'll be waiting awhile.
