I never thought I'd have to give a ramen restaurant one star, but here we are. We arrived around 7:15 p.m. (they close at 9), and the restaurant was mostly empty. Still, we were seated in a section where our server, Esther, was sweeping and cleaning up for the night. Why seat guests in an area you're already closing down? The biggest issue: she wore the same blue gloves to sweep, pick things up off the floor, handle payments, and serve food and drinks without ever changing them. It was unhygienic and honestly disgusting. Trying to give the place a chance, I ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and subbed corn for fungus. My bowl arrived with corn anyway. Esther asked if I had a food allergy or if I wanted her to take it back and have the cooks remove it for me, but since I don't like sending food back for a variety of reasons, I decided to pick it out myself. The broth was bland and not spicy at all; it tasted like chicken broth. Another issue is they use chili oil to make the broth spicy, but I'm not sure that's the right way to build spice in a ramen broth. I've been to plenty of ramen restaurants that use spicy miso to add depth and heat, and it makes a big difference. My bowl was also missing bamboo, which was listed on the menu. When I mentioned it, she offered to bring bamboo and another bowl of broth, which did taste better, but by that point the experience was already ruined. What made it worse was overhearing her tell another table that she was "distracted" because of my situation, more than once, while I was sitting right there. Completely unprofessional. We also ordered the Kobe Beef Roll, which was supposed to come with fried asparagus but had sautéed asparagus instead. When it arrived, we had to ask for appetizer plates and soy sauce cups. Then she reached over our table mid-meal to take the soy sauce bottle to refill it, and reached back over again to return it. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. Between the poor hygiene, incorrect orders, bland food, and unprofessional service, our date night was completely ruined. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Our group of 14 chose to do $29.99 AYCE and we got out money's worth. From edamame, gyoza, chicken karaage, rolls, sashimi, jalapeño hamachi, soup dumplings and ramen. Our server worked hard to keep up with us - delivering food and removing the empty plates. The restaurant itself is open and has an industrial look with Asian flair. I did like it here.
Food: I liked the pork bao dumplings! The soup was good and the filling was moist. The edamame was good but nothing too crazy about it. I've had better before. The pork steamed buns were delicious! The sauce was good and the meat was cooked well, with the cucumber adding a nice crunch. I had the pork shoyu ramen which was delicious! The broth was flavor and the perfect temperature when it came out. I liked the pork it had a nice seared flavor. I wish there were more toppings because it was $14, but they gave me one small piece of pork and only like 4 toppings. Service: Some of the appetizers came out after our entrees, so we were less hungry for them at that point. There was no wait so we were seated right away. Server was nice! Atmosphere: It was warm (nice to cut out the cold outside) and there was lots of busy chatter. Clean on the inside. Overall: Good food, fast service, but just a little pricy for the amount of food given
We stopped at Volcano Ramen after running some errands in the area. Located in the Orchard Town Center, this restaurant has ample parking. Upon arrival we were quickly seated and the service here was very quick. The inside of the restaurant is decorated quite cute. As for the food goes, the pork buns were delicious, the gyoza were perfectly crisped, and our ramen came out fast. I will say, I do wish the spice level was a bit higher, however, the ramen didn't lack any depth and was still flavorful.
Perfect spot for a cold night. Place was suspiciously empty while the other restaurants in the center were busy. Glad I took the risk because service was super fast. Got a bottle of sake for myself. I felt judged. But whatever. It was good and I needed to take the edge off after a long and tiring travel day. The ramen was awesome. And huge. Got the Pork Shoyu. That pork belly was soooo good and tender. Perfectly prepared. The veggies includes bean sprouts, bok choy, corn and green onions. It also had sliced eggs. I was curious why they don't have bamboo as well since that's pretty standard but then heard a table behind me ask to remove it from their order so maybe that's just not included with the pork shoyu. Not a big deal to me as I don't usually seek it out but if you do, it's an add on option I guess. Overall, impresses with the quality, taste and serving size and will likely be back when I'm back in town. Only downside is limited bar.
This is the rating based on food mainly honestly. Walked in and saw a line and was like ooooo there is a line so was kinda excited at first. The inside is quite spacious and has plenty of seating! We also got seated pretty fast despide the line. I got a waiter who i asked for recommendations but sadly didn't get one cuz it was his first day but he still helped so props to him. Nothing too impressing for costumer service and nothing bad. Costumer service 8/10 Okay here is the food part. Okay for a ramen, first all of them were cold to me (I tried them all). Like ramen should be hot not cold. I asked the worker to microwave it and he did in front of me lolz (so kinda appreciate it). My friend said they should've just made me a fresh one instead of them just microwaving it and she didn't like that they did that. Like I'm not too picky but I would rather my food be boiling hot than it being cold. I will say this WASN'T genuine ramen. Will agree to a review I read and say it does say it caters to its demographic. Hey will give props on presentation tho. Looks pretty but looks deceiving. Food 2/10 Overall was it meh. Needed it to be more authentic. Especially with this weather I was expecting it hot. Edit: as I'm reading reviews the eggs were also definitely overcooked for them being advertised as soft eggs and again for those who know genuine and authentic ramen this place ain't it. But hey if you eat cup noodles and really like them and really are willing to pay the price then this is for you. I've had better homemade ramen tho.
My fiancé and I both had the spicy ramen bowls..not bad..not bad at all. Sushi was ok, not as fresh as some places in the area. Server seemed rushed and never really had time to refill our waters. Cool place overall, would come back here to eat some spicy ramen again.
"Awesome choice for ramen lovers! Their tonkotsu broth was delicious--one of the best I've had in town. The rolls were decent, and the service was friendly. I will definitely be coming back for sure; the kiddos love the ramen!"
Amazing food, amazing service. Overall just a great experience. I got the Hokkaido spicy beef ramen and the flavor was perfect with just the right level of spice. The eggs were amazing and my friend and I both got extra. Definitely recommend going here.
Good portion for a fair price. Chicken karaage was too dry for my taste. Wish pieces were bigger and juicy. The broth was flavorful and very rich. This ramen used thinner ramen than other places. Almost reminded me of thin egg noodles. Definitely different than what I am used to and was expecting. Overall 3 stars.
Volcano Ramen is the real deal! I think everyone is after a good ramen place, and Volcano Ramen is that place. I've visited several times now and had wonderful service and delicious food every time. I even showed up two nights in a row at closing time, and they not only took me in but allowed me to enjoy a meal while they closed up shop for the night. I like things hot, so I always start with the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and then ask for spicy oil and seasoning to bring it up to the level I like it. The portion is about perfect, and the base spicy level is decent; you might have to build it up a little if you like it on the firey side. I typically order the shishito peppers to start, which are always cooked to perfection and come out quickly. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant is large and well decorated with traditional decor. Seldom is it extremely busy so the noise level is good. Overall a great place to get a bowl of ramen or a variety of other dishes.

The place gets one star for decor. All the money was spent on the interior that there wasn't any left for the food. We came during lunch time and it was slow (there were only 2 parties). It should've been clue #1. We were sat at a table. The menu wasn't overly impressive. I'm not a fan of seeing dimsum, soup dumplings, etc. on the menu when the restaurant is called "Ramen" (just means they're trying to do everything and not one thing was specialized) so that was clue #2. But we stuck around and ordered. Food was just so bad. The ramen broth had zero flavor. It tasted like water (would've been nice to have some salt or msg). The eggs were cold and definitely premade in the fridge so biting into it was weird since it was the only cold item. The unagi don wasn't done right. The unagi did not taste fresh (definitely something frozen and heated). There was too much lettuce so the proportions weren't right. The spicy and salmon and spicy tuna rolls were just very mid. The chicken karrage was just some fried chicken in very old oil. It was very dry. The sauce tasted like it was poured from the sweet sour sauce bottles I buy. Overall, food wasn't great. Would not come back. read more
Ordered takeout via Uber Eats with friends. I got the Spicy Chicken Ramen (with extra noodles and no egg) and the Spicy Tuna Roll. Upon arrival, the food was labeled properly and there was no spillage. The restaurant honored the no-egg request, which I really appreciated, and the extra noodles were packed to the side. One thing I didn't love was that the sushi and sashimi were grouped together, even though they belonged to different people. It made sorting the order a little confusing. Now onto the food. The broth was very tasty, but I noticed that both the broth and the chicken weren't actually spicy. I ended up adding chili oil to make it spicy and give it that razzle dazzle. Besides the missing spic , the flavors were definitely there and I still enjoyed it. The spicy tuna roll unfortunately didn't match. It was a bit bland and didn't have much flavor. Overall, I'd still order from here again, just with the expectation that it won't be spicy and I'll want to have some chili oil on hand. I paid roughly $38 for this. A bit on the higher end, but not terrible for what I got. read more

I went to volcano ramen with a friend on a Tuesday evening around 5:30 PM. There was barely anyone in the restaurant, so we got seated right away and got our food pretty much immediately. The waitress was really friendly and efficient, I would recommend if you were looking for a quick bite to eat but of course my friend and I still felt welcome to stay as long as we wanted to after eating. This restaurant is attached to an outdoor shopping Center, so it's a nice place to go if you want to walk around afterwards and maybe get some ice cream or window shopping. We got an order of the pork buns, and each got the Tonkotsu ramen. The ramen blew me away! I often get this type of ramen, so I've had my fair share, and this definitely did not disappoint. I like the ingredients they had and theirs, and it's great that you can modify the spice level. I want that brought in my veins let's be real. The pork bun, I could've done without. It didn't wow me in anyway. I'm looking forward to going back to this local place in trying more of their menu! read more

So glad we finally got to check this place out! It is a great ramen joint up north. The resturant is located in the corner right across from a parking lot, and the restaurant is nice and clean. We ordered the shishitos and pork boa buns first. Both had great flavor. The ramen was next, and it came out pretty fast. The noodles were nice and chewy, and the broths were flavorful. If you get the spicy one, just know it does pack some heat. read more

I love coming here because this is some of the BEST ramen I've had in the Westminster area. A lot of places don't do ramen great but Volcano ramen does. The service is quick , from getting seated to getting your food. We've never gotten food at room temp or cold, it's FRESH. The inside of this restaurant is nice for groups or a date! A couple downsides, the people are NICE okay but the service is meh. The eggs, don't like that they're served hard boiled. I'm used to my egg being poached in other ramen places I've been to in Fort Collins. That's a personal option though. Overall pretty good stuff !!! (Never had shishito peppers, good first impression) read more

Fairly mediocre, price does not match quality. My egg was overcooked and had a grey ring. None of the eggs were even close to a "soft egg". Ambiance was cute and well decorated. Service was friendly. Probably won't go back again since I've had pre-made frozen ramen that was just as good and 1/3 of the price. read more

The lady was very welcoming seated us immediately. She did forget our drinks, and instead of the sodas she gave us waters. The steamed buns were really good pork was a little dry. The ramen was really good corn did taste weird. But not bad read more

Average ramen at average prices. I was actually surprised about the prices. Honestly, I was expecting a lot higher prices because it's in the Orchards, even though usually every restaurant in the Orchards turns out to suck. I'm still undecided on this one. The taste of some of the other items was a little lackluster. This one goes in the - must try it again to be sure - category. Update coming soon. read more

I ordered spicy tonkotsu ramen. First of all soup was not piping hot that ramen soup should be. Noodles were stuck together like a chunk. Pork was Chinese spiced flavor to it. It didn't go well with tonkotsu soup. Our server was great though! read more
