    I was in the area on vacation and of course we were craving Korean bbq and hotpot. Found this place close to our hotel. Did not disappoint. You can either do only hot pot or bbq or both for $38 all you can eat. We opted to do both. All items for the bbq and hotpot are buffet style. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back next time.

    9/10 If you like your food loud, smoky, and full of flavor--Volcano Hot Pot BBQ understood the assignment. The ambiance? A whole vibe. Warm, lively, a little chaotic in the best way--perfect for linking up, laughing loud, and cooking your own feast. The food? Fresh and endless options. That grill + hot pot combo hits every craving... meat lovers and veggie babes both eating GOOD. Service? Attentive without hovering. Staff kept things moving, helped when needed, and made sure we stayed straight the whole time. Only reason it's not a full 10--because I'm still thinking about what eating next time

    For $32.99 per person, you can choose between AYCE hotpot or AYCE Korean BBQ (or about $5 more to do both). The Korean BBQ selection felt a bit narrow (though still sufficient if you're not very picky), while the hotpot side offered a much wider variety. Right when you walk in, a robot escorts you to your table, which is a fun and quirky touch. Each person gets their own individual pot with adjustable temperature controls. This works great when eating with friends since you're not sharing broth, but with kids it can actually create more work trying to manage multiple pots at once. The place is modern and the setup is very beginner-friendly. Every meat and vegetable lists recommended cooking times, which takes the guesswork out of hotpot. The sauce station is also pretty cool - you mix your own sauces, and they even provide recipe cards with suggested combinations. That said, a few things held the experience back. It's a bit on the pricier side for what you get, and some of the included items felt very low-end (like Chips Ahoy cookies), which they should probably just leave out because it makes the experience feel cheap. The original broth was quite bland, and the pork bone broth ended up being the better option - they mentioned it's essentially the same base with a pork bone added for more flavor. The sliced lean beef was also disappointing: dry and tough even with just a quick dip in the broth (I didn't overcook it), which is unfortunate since beef is such a hotpot staple. Also, our server kept walking by our table every three minutes and staring at it, which made the experience feel a bit awkward. It didn't come across as checking in to help - felt more like gauging what we were eating. The restaurant was pretty empty when we came in (between lunch and dinner), so it stood out even more. Overall, it's a decent spot with a lot going for it, especially if you're new to hotpot.

    Discovered this place while we were in Orlando. Of course hotpot and kbbq in one got me saying yes to it. Everything was buffet style. And quality of the meat is good. I would say they had everything needed for the hoptpot and kbbq. Veggies, meat, all the balls, seafood, and sauces and even desserts. I also like then place. Nice modern and clean. The only thing is i didnt like the wax paper on top of the kbbq grill. I would definitely come back when in Orlando. Happy eating!

    ramen!!!!

    What a beautiful place to enjoy Ramen!! They have a wonderful buffet style hot pot with all the toppings. The broth is very flavorful and the service is A1. I'm a Ramen girlie, so this is my definite go to hot pot.

    HOT POT and YAKINIKU, name a better combination.

    This place never disappoints. Tom Yum is my go to broth and little bro got the spicy broth. Endless mounds of crab and clams, all the meats for the bbq... absolutely no complaints. Did try the fried chicken wings... bruh crunchy and delicious. Fried dumplings.... Flavor packed. Also never let down with the lychee green tea with lychee jelly!!!!! Service always great and fast. Never ever have to ask for something twice. Place is always clean and lots of space between parties.

    Came to this place because I heard good reviews about it so I decided to try it out. My friends and I decided on trying the bbq. I feel like the bbq had a few options compared to the hot pot option. Some of the meat had no flavor so if you didn't have a dipping sauce to pair your meat with, it will taste bland. They had a whole station filled with condiments and sauces for you to make your own dipping sauce. Overall, the food was okay. Just not worth for the amount we paid. The service was good. Our server was nice and explained everything to us. The lively and engaging ambiance here is great for a hangout with friends.

    We normally eat at the other location near Disney. But on this trip where we visit Epic Universe, we were pleasantly surprised to find this location here near our resort hotel. The place is a lot bigger and more modern than the other location. It's also less crowded so that's good. All the items are similar to the other location. This is the best AYCE around Orlando area

    My kid liked the seafood options and ramen of course!

    It was my first time trying hot pot and this place did not disappoint. It was crowded and we didn't make reservations so had to wait 1 hour. Make reservations if you can, especially on weekends. For ayce spot the protein choices were really good and the quality of meat was pretty good as well. I got the original broth which was a safe choice, since this was my first time. I had a lot of fun making my own dipping sauce and it was delicious bc I tailored it to my own liking. The vegetables were fresh and they offered a variety and other sides too but I focused on the protein and vegetables. The place was busy and workers were attentive. I will try again when I'm in Orlando.

    The buffet!
    Natalie S.

    The amount of offerings here is just stunning. Absolutely stunning. I haven't done Korean BBQ at this location but have at others in the same chain and it wasn't my favorite. So we stuck to hotpot. Some of my favorite things on the buffet were crab legs, blue crabs, shrimp, hagow, lots of red meat options, tons of green veggies and more noodles than I knew existed. The only down side: the sauce bar is extremely average. A big letdown compared to the other offerings. Plus I used a container marked "salt" that was very clearly sugar. Step that up and it becomes a 5 star review!

    My son's choice for his 13th birthday family dinner and it did not disappoint. Service was excellent and the server took the time to explain the experience to us since we were first timers. Meats and vegetables were fresh and were easy to cook. The environment was moderate noise level allowing you to talk to each other and had a family vibe. We will definitely be back.

    Mmmm honestly I'm not sure what's up with these reviews. I Love kbbq and for that reason I feel they missed the mark with their buffet style. I didn't try hot pot so maybe that's amazing but I found the bbq sub par. Yes you can eat all you want but I rather pay for the a la carte experience if that means tastier meats and better side dishes (the radish was cut like carrot sticks and that bothered me) . The sauces just lacked in options to complement the meats. Service was fine, they are pretty fast with changing out the foil on the grill. And inside is pretty but gave cafeteria energy. The 5 star reviews really misled me here.

Everything was well cooked and tasted good., I didn't love that the onions under my galbi were not sauteed, but just wilted, and I'm used to a lettuce wrapper for eating it but that's a optional thing I think. I disliked the order from the QR code thing, but when in Orlando... Discounting the app ordering the food service was good and the runner and the hostess were courteous and friendly. We were the only non Asians in the restaurant, which was 50+% full as we were leaving. Over a great food experience with a okay dining experience.

You order via QR code on your table, which is always mildly annoying. The food came promptly and included sides, which they made sure to only bring the vegan sides for us. Ordered the bibimbap and it was good. Came with a traditionally spicy sauce on the side, which I tasted and it was too sweet for my taste. The decor is cute and there's four TVs playing K-pop. Once you're done eating you go to the register to pay, which wasn't obvious. Would return.

Parking was a bit of a challenge as they're tucked in with bustling shops. The food quality was the same as most other hotpot places, so that's a relief. The waiter was snarky, at first I thought it was a language barrier. But then after hearing his interaction with a neighboring table it was certainly him. He was judging my wife's order and openly disagreeing with her choices and amount. (She ate all of it and more). I let him know he crossed the line and silence was probably his best way forward. He then lingered at our table for a full two minutes after we had ordered. Just staring at us. Several times I told him that we were good and he could do something else, with my final Dad voice in full effect the message landed and he scuttled away. I make a genuine effort to be respectful, polite and friendly to everyone, especially food service workers. So, it's rare I encounter events like this. But we did, and I handled it. Then the people at the table next to us went through nearly the same ordeal. Very off putting.
