Amazing prices. Every time I am in town I have to stop in and get some sushi. I've never had there hibachi but I have heard good things about it read more

Got here around 3:30, promptly sat at a clean table, put our drink and sushi orders in. 10 minutes later a table sat beside us. 10 minutes after that, the table that sat after us got their sushi orders I suspected immediately that it was our sushi order, but I kept waiting patiently. I then overheard that table say something was wrong with their order. About 4:10 our waiter says that the other waiter brought out food to the wrong table. And it would be another 10 minutes before our food would arrive. We finally got our sushi and two of the rolls were good but the other two were "meh"... I'm not sure why I keep coming back here and giving it another chance but I have been consistently underwhelmed in the last several visits. read more

Good food, service above and beyond. Family had a birthday celebration. Staff have an extra song and performance and allowed us to bring our cake inside. Shared with staff, very thankful for the kindness of the Volcano team read more

Service was good. Atmosphere was resturant one side and HIBACHI on the other side. Had the family couple dinner. 47. Roughly. Shrimp, steak chicken for two. Fried rice and noodles. Soup and salad. In other words enough food to feed 2 people per person. Lots of food. Need to cut portion size. Also get all the main food at once. No sauces. Yum yum sauce popular but our group of 4 was turned off by it. Need Chinese mustard and other typical sauces. read more

Food/ service are extremely poor. I walked in to ordered food Togo tonight, udon soup and stir fry noodles. They say it will take 20 minutes, I went to sit in my car, I went back before 20 minute food was ready. I went straight home only 5 minutes away, I poured my soup into my bowl, there was no broth. They mixed the broth with all the ingredients so then the broth got soak in with the noodles. It's quite upsetting when you're excited to finally get home and enjoy your soup and yet there is no soup. The soup I ordered it looks like stir fry noodle as well. I called the store and spoked with Clair ( mgr) and informed her about the situations all she said sorry it's how we do it.. I asked her why wouldn't they separate the broth, so people can enjoy the actual soup instead of looking like stir fry? Sorry can't changed the inconvenient and disappointment from your customer.. she didn't even bother to offer extra broth to satisfy me. The more I'm disappointed... All I want was my soup.. 1 unhappy customer! read more

I've never had bad food from here, it's always hot and delicious. Can't beat their sushi or hibachi.

Seated immediately even on a busy Saturday night. Knowledgeable server. GREAT and fresh sushi - and all the recommendations - spot on.

The food is always good, the service is good, the ambience is fine but they always try to sit my family (of five) at the same three booths in the middle of the restaurant and they backs are always wiggly and squeaky it's very obnoxious. We've informed the staff multiple times and they don't do anything about it no matter what we say or do or how many times we say it. read more

First, I thought the hibachi dinner came with rice? Guess not. Chicken was super dry, men's restroom was absolutely disgusting! This was July 4th so they were dead but plenty staffed. Can't justify going here anymore, worth driving to Chesapeake or va beach for quality (and a usable restroom) read more

Smashing pumpkin sushi is a MUST TRY!!! Best ever!!! Everything taste phenomenal and FRESH!

This review is solely based on FOOD ... the decor was just ok and the cleanliness was mediocre. The chef tossed bits of food from his presentation and never managed to get it in anyone's mouth. There were six folks in our group so his odds should have found success. Very little eye contact with the diners and other than confirming what each person ordered he was disengaged. The bill for us six wad $142 We all had water and two ate from the children's menu. The shrimp was delicious. Don't be in a rush... they wait for every seat to be filled first read more

We got seated rather quickly and staff was nice, the only reason I'm even rating 2 stars. Food came out really quick. Which is nice considering we have a toddler however it was not great tasting. Miso soup was a weird warm cold when it came out and the food was overall not seasoned very well. The fried rice looked to be just greasy brown rice with onion. The vegetables varied in texture from uncooked to mush. Very typical small town Asian cuisine restaurant. Update: thirty minutes after leaving the restaurant, my husband is violently sick. read more

GREAT food. GOOD selection. Depending on what side you eat on....entertaining. Good service.

This is the new volcano restaurant I am at. Walking into the restaurant there seems be confusion on where To sit folks. I am by myself so they sat me at the sushi bar. Sitting here for a few mins I was asked what I wanted to drink. I asked if they had a drink menu they said all they have is bud light so I just got a water. Basically the same thing. Not even 40 seconds of ordering a water another waiter asked me what I wanted to drink. Let's continue..... I ordered a house salad because I love ginger dressing. Well by ordering this in the past it always came with a Slice or 2 of cucumber and cherry tomato's. Well this came with very watery iceberg lettuce and a ton of dressing. So there for it was Watered Down. Kinda bummed about that. So I ordered a few sushi rolls pics coming soon. So while I wait I am freezing. Oh look the food. I did t finish the rolls. Didn't taste very fresh. That being said I'm all set with this place. I am a sushi person. They do have hibachi. But I'm not into that. So that being said the guy brought me my check didn't ask if I wanted anything else so that's it. I tried it and never again. read more

The experience is great if you've done hibachi before but if you havent or want to impress someone who hasnt, go to another hibachi place. The wait staff and customer service was lacking. Our waitress never came to check on us so our appetizer dishes were piled up and in our way. I had to flag people down for drinks, and even our chef seemed like he didn't want to come to work. Granted it was busy and I'm sure he cooked mulitple meals before us, but I had planned on the experience being great since I had invited someone who's never had hibachi so unfortunately it was quite disappointing for her. Also, this is the only hibachi place I've been to that doesn't have prime rib steak. But all are not the same so I simply choose another dish. My conclusion is that I tried it, the food was great, but I wouldn't go back. read more

my mother and i came here after we got a hair cut while i was visiting them on vacation. elizabeth city is the nearest big city to where they live in edenton. we ordered the shrimp tempura and the vegetable teriyaki kitchen specials, and shared them. i also ordered a patron margarita and later got a grey goose dirty martini. food tasted good, portion size was large. i did end up using the yum yum sauce and the soy for the veggies, bc the teriyaki sauce was a little bland on its own. the shrimp tempura was huge, a little greasy and did have a lot of breading, which we just peeled off but it tasted good anyway. drinks were also good. the margarita wasnt too sweet and the martini was not too dirty, they were just right. we had no problems with the service. our waitress was attentive but not overbearing, and everything came out quickly. we will be back, but maybe we will skip the shrimp tempura and opt for something else next time. read more

Volcano - veggie teriyaki & shrimp tempura kitchen specials - Japanese Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

My daughter and I enjoyed a very nice sushi dinner in their new location. The new building has better ambiance re are basically two separate sections, one for the Japanese Habachi and one side for normal dinner tables and booths. The waitress was very helpful. We ordered coconut shrimp, California rolls, Philly roll and Green Dragon rolls. All the food was very good. The coconut shrimp was very sweet and crunchy. The green dragon roll impressively came with two decorative skewers on both ends of the roll of breaded shrimp. I recommend you try this place especially if you haven't been there recently. read more

If you want a great meal and enjoy the entertainment of seeing it prepared in front of you, then this is just the place Reasonable prices and quality service make it a great choice Offering sushi and hibachi grilled selections so that everyone is happy Well worth a visit read more

The servers are AWFUL. Completely preoccupied with other employees and gave one word responses. They couldn't even repeat our order back. The food is pretty good but that can't make up for the terrible service. Tried to give Volcano another chance. Still bad! Last time I will be dining here. read more

My husband loves to order "the box" and get a variety of things. I recently started keto and the staff refuses to do any rolls but 1 without rice, so we won't be frequenting here anymore. The prices are very reasonable, but staff are not accommodating. Good atmosphere. read more

Fast and extremely friendly service every visit whether it be take out, delivery or dine in, and the food.... AMAZING!

My husband was craving hibachi, so we decided to stop in! Pros: -The prices were pretty good! We got the Volcano Hibachi for 2 for $39.95. You got veggies, rice, shrimp, steak, and chicken. -Most of the staff was friendly (one person may have been having a bad day...it was obvious) -The amount of food for the price you pay Cons: -The miso soup wasn't hot. It was slightly warm. -The salad had way too much dressing and the bowl was very watery on the bottom like the lettuce wasn't dried well. -Sticky floors in the bathroom. Overall, my experience was just...ok. read more

Place gave me diarrhea so bad I thought I was going to disintegrate into the bowl along with the reminants of my meal. Came out like a mountain town flash flood. You'll spend as much time on the pot as you will in the waiting area. But... Tasted good in the moment though, but did not pass the 10 minute rule. Pregame with a few shots Pepto before enjoying Elizabeth City's finest. Excuse me while I go shower. read more

Good lunch option for a quick decent sushi meal in Elizabeth City. The business is located in the Walmart shopping center area. The lunch specials are convenient in price and selected. You get to select two options from the menu. In addition, you get soup and a small salad w/dressing of your choice. I chose the chicken teriyaki, tuna roll and white rice. Other selections cost more and are not part of the lunch special. You can tell they are headed toward the lunch crowd as the meal was ordered, prepared and brought out within 10 minutes. All dishes and left overs were taken away with in seconds of us putting our silverware down. The check was brought out within a minute after our meal was eaten. I would recommend this business for a quick lunch. Nothing to write home about. read more

Very consistent, good food. The beautiful roll is one of my favs. I think best sushi in ECity

I had the taste for sushi and hibachi and my family decided to eat here. The food was ok and as far as the sushi it was ok, I've had a lot better! The waitress was not the friendliest and that always is a turnoff, so by the food not being A-1 it wasn't a pleasant experience in my opinion. read more

As hibachi steak houses go, unless something is terribly wrong, they're all about the same. I've been to quite a few around the country. This hibachi is pretty good, especially for the location. Notice that I said "about the same" there can be slight differences in the quality of meat etc, and a lot depends on the actual chef cooking your food. Everything that I ordered on the hibachi here was fine. Tasty, well presented and filling. The 3 star rating is because this place is touted as a hibachi AND sushi bar. The sushi is okay.. I had a California roll and a boston roll and it's pretty hard to screw those up, but I probably won't order sushi here again. If you're in EC and want some hibachi this is a safe bet. read more

Wait staff did a great job, but our chef did not. The "show" was horrible and he looked like he didn't want to be working that night. Our food, other the overuse of soy sauce in the rice, was swimming in a pool of lackluster flavor. I've never had a plate full of sauce at any other Japanese restaurant. I can not recommend Volcano in Elizabeth City. Step up your show and work on the flavors of your sauces. read more

The food was decent - wouldn't go as far as to say good or great. The service was absolutely terrible ... but the thing that stood out the most was the Hibachi room was so hot my entire family and I were sweating to the point we couldn't finish our meal and had to take it home to eat. Not sure we will ever go back. read more

I think volcano is amazing. They cook in front of you when I bite into the rice it was the best! Volcano is great! they have clean bathrooms and they do cool tricks with your food. read more

Not sure why this restaurant doesn't have higher reviews. They have done a wonderful job decorating and laying out the restaurant. My son and I both ordered lunch box specials. Portions were a bit small but the taste was very good. Prices seemed on par with my expectations. I will definitely be going back. read more

Never disappointed in the food at this restaurant but I find it odd that they don't serve noodles with the hibachi dinner. All other hibachi places I have been serve the meat as well as rice noodles and veggies. Other than that the food and service were great! read more

I don't know why volcano gets so much hate, it is always delicious for us. We get an order of sushi & hibachi every couple of months and it's always fresh and full of flavor. They're portion sizes are big and their pricing is fair. Twin tower roll is my go to. Highly recommend this place! read more

Absolute trash. This is the golden coral of Japanese restaurants. Nothing good to say about it. Yakisoba tasted like it came out of a cup from a hospital vending machine. They're charging prices like they are making authentic Japanese food when it tastes like frozen food from Walmart. Waste of money and time. Never again. read more
