First of all, the food was AMAZING!!! the seafood was so fresh for the hotpot and the Korean bbq was so fun to cook up and enjoy with my family. The service was also a 10/10 from them being so patient with us since it was a new experience for us, to them giving good recommendations like for sauces and etc. the atmosphere of the place was very luxurious and clean and I could see that the staffs are also very aware of cleanliness and kept up with it. 100% would recommend, very enjoyable experience and I would definitely come back again with my family. read more

FOOD: 5/5 SELECTION: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5 CLEANLINESS: 4/5 VALUE: 5/5 We come here every year for the past 3 years for team dinner after a show day at Premiere Orlando. The individual hotpot and buffet style is great for large group dinners. $31.99 per person (hotpot only). Service was good. They were very flexible and helpful when it came to my taste preferences. I like Szechuan flavors, but oftentimes the hotpot can be too spicy. I told them this and the waiter offered to give me the Szechuan spice on the side to add to a different soup base. It was perfect! We also got a green milk tea--we usually get 50% but the waiter suggested we get 100% since she thinks 50% would be too bland. We took her advice and she was correct. While this restaurant's selection has most of my favorites, I gave it a 4/5 score because I really like beef tongue and that was only allowed for the bbq. They had a large selection of seafood as well, including raw oysters and snow crab. Ice cream and other deserts are also part of the ayce. Overall, good experience and delicious ayce hotpot. Will be coming back again next year. read more

We usually go to a different hotpot/kbbq place and wanted to try this place out since we were in the area and this was such an upgrade from the last place. The selection for seafood and meat was amazing. The waiters are very attentive and the ambiance is very family friendly. I like how we can get up and grab our own things, this made eating more efficient. Loved! read more

SERVICE - 3/5 SELECTION - 5/5 PRICE - 4/5 Dinner for 2 + $88.37 w/o tip. Found this place by chance after driving away from another restaurant that we scoped out that looked pretty empty - there were a lot of cars in the parking lot here so we pulled in, having no idea what this place was all about. First of all - if you are a vegetarian or a vegan, or even an ovo-lacto, you have to pay the full price of a meat-eater, because people will cheat and proclaim that they are vegans and probably stuff their face full of beef, so I had to pay the same price as my husband, a carnivore. You are seated a table with a grill and a personal hot-pot, dependent on whatever broth you choose. The attendant will turn on all of the hot pots and grill, so you don't need to mess with that; he/she will put a piece of foil on your grill and drop a piece of butter on it so you can cook and fry your meats or veggies but one of the annoying things I've found was the feeling we got that they didn't want us eating more - they would come by infrequently and we would have to flag them down to replace our grilling foil, and they did so begrudgingly, with little interaction. The selections were very, very generous: organ meats including guts, tongue, tripe, beef aorta, intestines and exotic things like duck feet, frog legs; different cuts of meat, loads of veggies and fungi and tofu for someone like myself, and dessert like ice cream in individual containers and Oreo cookies, which I found a bit odd. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I opted in for the BBQ option. Unfortunately, the items in this option felt kind of limited, and some meats definitely needed some salt. I also found it very strange that they placed a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill before you start cooking. I have been to many Korean bbq places, and none have ever done something like that. The hot pot option seemed to have many more options to choose from, but I don't know if I would come back to try it. The employees were nice. read more

The service was very friendly. The food choices were awesome because there was so much to choose from. The ambiance was upbeat and inviting. Where they lose points with me are in two areas: 1) the price for adults was a lot smaller than the price for kids, so it was a bit misleading. You had to truly pay attention when you first walk in and look almost at the ceiling to see the price. And 2) the "kimchi" and "spicy" cucumbers were so bland that I felt like a basic white American with no experience made it. I eat kimchi everyday from authentic Korean and Chinese grocery stores, and I will say, you have dishonored your ancestors with how bland yours is. read more

Good food. Friendly staff. Clean, modern interior. My only complaint is the pricing. We came in with a party of 8, and they *require* us all to pick the same option: either hot pot and BBQ, or just one. Then there's a time limit to their "all you can eat" buffet, a charge per pound for any leftovers, and you can't take anything home. Also, a mandatory tip for large parties. Some of this is customary, but when you put it all together, it just felt excessive. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy my meal, I felt like I was constantly on the lookout for the next charge. If this were a fancy steakhouse, I'd just accept the high prices. It isn't. read more

The overall experience was really fun and enjoyable. Customer experience was excellency. Food was delicious- no complaints there! However, as someone who has been to a variety of different hot pot and bbq restaurants. I think the seating and burner arrangement could've made this experience a little bit better. We were seated at a table of six, and the group decided to do both hot pot and BBQ. I was extremely surprised to be seated at a long rectangular table and only have one burner for bbq. This caused a situation where the people all the way at the end of the booth had to essentially climb over people in their party in order to have their food cooked. Having either of the ability to have seats instead of a booth, would've allowed for it easier access to the burners if you're only going to offer one burner- even for larger groups. Perhaps consider going in a smaller group so the burner concern is not an issue. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I would recommend this location for anyone who wants to enjoy the experience. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Dropped in on a random Wednesday after getting off of our flight. I think it was reasonably priced for hot pot plus bbq, with our favorite items being the ribeye, the blue crab, the scallops, ramen noodles and the mushrooms. The service was really great as well, soup base refills were constant. Highly recommend read more

The robot seater was a new experience out the gate! Amusingly it took us to the incorrect table. A server quickly corrected it and seated us then provided superb service throughout the eating experience. The facility was a mix of diner experience blended with pop Asian and historical Asian references for an engaging visual experience. Listen as your server provides instructions if this is a new experience! Pace yourself as you enjoy the amazingly wide variety of items you can cook in your soup or on the searing grill in the center of the table. Servers will frequently change the foil protecting the grate and enjoy your soup broth!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - The buffet! - Hot Pot Near Me - Orlando, Florida

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. read more

I was in town for Disney and decided to see if Orlando's hotpot was any good vs the ones in Atlanta. Boy, I was in for a treat!! The front lobby area was beautiful decorated as they had some replica Takata soldiers from China. Walking in, they had a beautiful bar area. The price here is $31.99 for either KBBQ or Hot Pot. Add $5 more to get both. We opted for the hot pot only. The biggest difference here is you get your own food in the AYCE bar. The seafood selection is insane as they had: Snow Crab Legs, Blue Crab, Oysters, Huge Shrimp, Huge Clams, and etc. The sauce bar was amazing. I loved it. Their cold side dish bar had the best kimchi cucumbers and seaweed salad. They had a small hot food bar that included fried dumplings, friend chicken wings, French fries, and egg rolls. I hate to say this but the fried chicken wings were one of the best I have ever had! Service was awesome here and I really enjoyed it. This place blows all the Hot Pot AYCE spots in Atlanta. I didn't try the Korean BBQ but hope to eat some soon! If your in town in Orlando, you have to try to place out if your in the mood for some good ass Hot Pot/Korean BBQ. read more

I usually do hot pot when it's cold out. Or once a year I do hot pot. My bf and I came here for dinner around 5 on a weeknight. Not very busy so there was no wait. I went for the tomato broth and he did the pork. I immediately hit the bar to grab my meats and veggies. I feel like hot pot is the same pretty much everywhere except for the quality of meats, seafood, etc. I like volcano for the variety. There's a lot of condiments to make the sauce. Variety of carbs. I love doing the rice cakes or noodles. The quality of seafood is ok. I tried the blue crab but it was difficult to take apart after cooking. Our waitress was good. Came to refill soup every once in a while. Until next time... read more

Had team dinner here for AAU VB. There were a lot of choices for hot pot and a decent amount for KBBQ, but it didn't really matter since they had kalbi for KBBQ and that's mostly what we got. The selling point for hot pot was the seafood but i'd give the seafood selection a B-. When we go again I will skip the hot pot and just do the KBBQ. Note the hot pot was an additional fee and we had to split the group between those wanting hot pot versus those not doing hot pot - was a bit annoying but in the end we sat with and talked to people that we may not have gotten to known better otherwise. read more

E X P E R I E N C E we came as a group of 3 around 6pm. the restaurant was 75% packed. as it approached 9pm, the restaurant had a line forming we decided to do hot pot only but they do offer hot pot and kbbq for an additional cost. we were immediately sat and ordered our drinks and soup base. we ordered some boba and it was great! boba was a little on the soft side but I'm a boba snob. the drinks were sweet and tasty!! then we went to the back of the restaurant where we get our own meats, seafood, veggies, noodles and sauce base. they also offer free ice cream! F O O D everything was so fresh! I have absolutely no complaints. no bugs anywhere (my biggest gripe on open buffet style plating) the soup bases were all so potent and flavorful. it wasn't watered down at all clams, huge and sweet glass noodles and udon noodles lamb, sliced soo thinly and fatty beef, sliced so thinly and fatty veggies shrimp crab mini egg fish scallop tofu skin mushroom fish ball w stuffed ground beef plus more that we ordered but I dont remember lol A M B I A N C E the restaurant is well lit. music is loud enough for everyone to speak comfortably. casual atmosphere. clean tables. wide walking spacings. closes at 11pm which is phenomenal for people who eat late. best comfort food S E R V I C E Nicky was phenomenal and very kind. he was quick to attend to whatever we needed. all the employees are very polite and move quickly. it seems very efficient here.

Food was great. You cooks your own. I don't like the fact that you can't pick just the pot or grill. If you do the whole table needs to pick the same.

The soup in the pot was very oily. It Seems like the leftover soup from the previous customer . The "lean lamb" was tasteless and seemed like fake meat. I had a stomachache for the next few days.

It's just like any other AYCE KBBQ spot. It's $32 for an adult and you can only bring select meats/veggies to the table since the place is shared with hot pot.

We were all hungry, sharing one grill. Not to mention we only had 90 minutes to feed all of us. Time went by fast and I still left hungry. read more

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had, and as a restaurant manager myself, I'm shocked at how badly this place violated basic customer service standards and consumer rights. My family arrived at Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ on International Drive at 10:30 PM -- a full hour before their posted closing time of 11:30 PM. By 11:00 PM, most of the meats (the main part of the hot pot experience) had already been removed from the buffet . You cannot charge full price and then take away the main food items 30 minutes before closing. That is a straight-up failure to provide what customers paid for. While we were still eating, staff came over MULTIPLE times pushing us to pay early. We paid on the second request, but then the manager came back a THIRD time demanding we sign the check and confirm gratuity even though we had already paid. It was clear they were trying to shut down early and rush out every table. We were already in our car by 11:17 PM, which proves we were not lingering or staying late. When we called afterward to explain how unacceptable this was, the manager doubled down and defended everything. Instead of accountability, she dismissed us by saying another table "didn't have an issue," ignoring the fact that those customers had already finished eating. The attitude, the lack of professionalism, and the refusal to admit wrongdoing were unbelievable. This place violated basic consumer expectations -- removing essential food items early, rushing customers, and not providing the services advertised during posted business hours. As someone who manages a restaurant myself, I was appalled. This is NOT how a restaurant should operate and definitely not how guests should be treated. If you value your money, your time, or even basic respect as a customer, avoid this place. read more
