Been going to Volcan for years and I am so glad they're still thriving! Of course- their milk tea and bobas are where they got their start. I like how they offer some more traditional Asian flavors, like taro and winter melon. You'll want to try the popcorn chicken! So crunchy and crispy and served in a portable skewer to poke into a box filled with popcorn chicken. Yummy! read more

A friend and I stopped in late for some noodles. We ordered the shaved noodles with brisket and one of us ordered the beef shank on recommendation of the guy working the register. While he wanted us that the peppercorn sauce may numb our tongues, I think that got lost in translation! Our other choices were a salty sauce (described as a brown sauce that isn't that salty really) and a sweet and sour sauce. We could get it as a soup or stir fry. We wanted stir fry. The beef was tender and juicy and cooked perfectly as was the bok choy in the stir fry. The noodles were silky and soft, with a great mouth feel. The peppercorn sauce left our tongues numb though and we could NOT figure out what was going on because we didn't pick that up in the convo when we ordered! I finally asked the waitress who gave us the whole reason behind the untraditional and traditional sauce options! She said that when COVID hit, mostly Americans ordered and they adapted a sweet and sour sauce for them that they love. When things opened back up, they went back to peppercorn sauce because the Chinese like it and it is traditionally served near the Guangzhou province. It all made sense! She said next time, we could try the salty sauce, which I will. It sounds great and I love these noodles. They make their tea strong and it is awesome. We had a black tea and a jasmine cold tea. I had been here once before and taken my mother. She was treated so sweetly by the lady who works there and it made her experience extra enjoyable. I wish I knew her name, but she is a lovely woman who cares about her customers. The staff is nice and helpful. Sometimes things get a bit lost in translation. The ambiance is lacking as it is more of a fast food-looking place, but don't let that stop you from going! Last trip, I had dumplings and noodles that rocked my world. I was so happy! The one bad thing about this place is the sewage smell from the building both times I have visited. I hate it because they can't do anything about it! It isn't their fault and shouldn't keep you from delicious noodles, but it is very noticeable when you walk in. The bathrooms are down a back hall in this strip center so if you have an elderly visitor, it is kind of a walk to get to them. Heads up. read more

Really good pork buns and shaved noodle. After chengdu shut down, we've been on a hunt for shaved/hand pulled noodles. Volcano probably with be my go to for shaved - we tried the tossed brisket shaved noodle which was numbing yet not too spicy - just perfect! Their hand pulled noodles were pretty good. Highly recommend shaved noodles here along with their teas! Top notch! read more

We recently stopped by to grab some boba since we were in the area grabbing dinner. Upon entering, we noticed an unpleasant scent of sewage or like there were some plumbing issues. My kids all made comments but the smell eventually went away after being there for a few minutes. They had a variety of food option and boba drinks to order from. We have yet to try their food but heard good things and ordered 5 boba. After waiting about 10 minutes for our drinks, we noticed that all of our drinks were still warm from the lack of ice. The flavor itself was delicious, we ordered the banana milk and my kids enjoyed them. We will definitely have to check them out for the second time to give this small business another try. The interior is cute, with multiple seating and cute walls. read more

When trying to look for this place, I was under the impression it was called One More Noodle. I believe they used to be but they changed their name to Volcano Tea House. The place is a little hard to find since it's off to the side but it's definitely worth a visit! I got the dry stir-fried shaven noodles with beef brisket (highly recommend), popcorn chicken, and a taro milk tea for under $25 which is honestly a good price. The staff were also really nice and friendly as well. I went when it was a little quiet and the owner took the time to talk to me. Very sweet woman and she told me that their noodles are made very healthy with no additives other than salt. Would recommend if you're in the area! read more

Volcano Tea House - Popcorn Chicken (extra spicy) Stir Fried Shaved Noodle (beef brisket) - Taiwanese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I'm visiting town and was craving boba. My friend recommended one of her go-to spots, but we ultimately decided to be adventurous and try something new. We ended up here at Volcano Tea House, which was a hidden gem! Volcano Tea House is an unassuming little spot, located on the side of H-Mart. The space is big and the options here are plenty and incredibly affordable. My friend got a taro slush with boba, another got mocha milk tea with boba, and I got myself a house milk tea with boba and milk pudding. Service was quick, friendly and communicative. To our pleasant surprise, all of these drinks were absolutely delicious. The flavors popped without being overly sweet or over powering. I really enjoyed my house milk tea - the classics are always a good baseline for how good a restaurant is. The only thing I will say is the boba was not very chewy. The flavors really shined which is more important to me. Don't forget to check in and use your 10% off offer! read more

Good teas, slushies and other drinks with boba and other items to add (all optional and upcharges) The employees were friendly They have several different snack and food options. I have not tried any of them so I am unable to comment on those items. She likes the milk tea with boba and 30% sugar (anything higher is quite sweet). We did the normal ice and you can customize that as well. I tried the taro slushy with 50% sweetness and mini boba. I'll have to try some of their other add ins (aloe, lychee jelly, popping boba, brown sugar, etc. We are fans of Volcano Tea and I'm sure we'll be visiting again soon. read more

Grabbed a taro milk tea with boba and a honey jasmine milk tea for myself. Staff were kind and attentive. The teas were not too sweet which is my main gripe with most milk tea places but I did not ask for any adjustments this time and the sweetness was PERFECT. Also it was mostly tea and not all ice, which I appreciate. Some places give you 80% ice but not here! Definitely will come back when I'm in the area. They also had some food that I'm very curious to try. read more

You know what the Internet says - an average of a 3.5 yelp star means that it's actually really good. My work colleague recommended that I come here for their food and milk tea. I had just gotten back from a work trip and was running errands, which is never a good combination. I needed a little pick me up to get through the rest of my day so I went to Volcano to get milk tea. Out of all the boba places I've tried around the Denver metro area, Volcano definitely is #2 (technically #1 because my favorite place closed). Their black tea is strong and the milk does not overpower it. Like a true Asian, I got 25% sugar and 50% ice which was perfect. I'm not a huge boba fan so I get grass jelly instead. I highly recommend people try grass jelly if you don't like boba. Tip: Google maps doesn't tell you exactly where it is and don't be like me driving around the H-mart lot looking for it. It is located on the same strip mall as H-mart. If you're looking at the Face Shop store, it is a couple shops down the other side. read more

First of all, the name of this small restaurant really caught my eye and I knew I wanted to stop in sometime. I also really liked the art that was pictured. The two things I did like were their easy online ordering system and the quick in and out when I was getting my food/drink. The reason I am giving two stars is because of the food and drink I ordered. Although the food was hot and the drink was cold when I picked it up, the taste of everything was bland and the quality was not up to par. The fries were tasteless and a little soggy. The popcorn chicken was also pretty bland and not to mention, tough and hard to chew. The pot stickers were the biggest disappointment. They were super thick and chewy and were more like a dumpling than a pot sticker. Also, there wasn't much filling, they were mostly dough and the taste of the whole thing was just bad. The Hazelnut milk tea was probably the best thing that I ordered. If you stop by I would probably steer clear of the food and just order a drink. read more

Review is on the milk tea. Not wow-ed but the drinks were decent. I'd still return for the milk tea and try the food if I'm at Hmart, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Service was quick. Staff was polite. Empty place with minimal seating. Very social distance friendly. Hand sanitizer available. What I've tried so far: Regular milk tea with herbal jelly (hot) - Light on the herbal jelly than I would've liked. Asked for half sugar. Good but nothing special. Regular milk tea with coffee jelly (cold) - Asked for half sugar. It was too sweet to my liking. Best to ask for no sugar if coffee jelly is added. I originally wanted boba when I ordered but their tapioca pearls were not done cooking yet. Understandably, they had opened a little less than a hour for the day. Great to know they make boba fresh every day. On the other hand, shouldn't they get the boba cooking started before they open? read more

Volcano Tea House - two people walking through a coffee shop - Taiwanese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

The drinks were average but the issue was the 45min wait for only two drinks. The business was not busy either.

We love Volcano tea house! They have hand pulled or cut noodles. Everything is made in house and delicious. My favorite menu item is the brisket and veggies stir fried with cut noodles. The pan fried dumplings and spicy popcorn chicken are also favorites of ours. Their Hokkaido milk tea is the best we have had in Denver. The thing that keeps us coming back week after week is their exceptional service. They make you feel like family and know us by name. Give volcano tea house a try! read more

I was craving a milk tea since it had been awhile since I had last had one, and was trying to keep my adult beverage tendencies at bay so I thought why the heck not! Volcano tea house was by Alfie's AND offered a Lavender Milk Tea so I was officially sold. I added boba and egg pudding ? and because Alfie was coming home from work soon and I'm just a sweet little thing I got him an Oreo Slush. So let me tell you about my boo, love him to death but he has a very plain palate. So the Oreo slush was perfect for him, I did half sweetness and he was a fan, thought it tasted just like an Oreo shake! I also loved my half sweet lavender tea, it was the perfect sweetness and the bobas were good! I am not sold on the egg pudding though haha but I figured I See it all the time and thought why not? read more

My friend and I made our way around the block, from H Mart, New Canton BBQ, Mr. Bakery, and finally Volcano Tea House. Our hands were full with goodies, but it was incomplete without boba. The inside of Volcano seemed a little dreary and dirty. I was annoyed at a random guy standing in the middle of the shop on his phone. He didn't respond when I asked him if he was in line, and the least the barista could have done was offer to take our order. Just awkward silence all around. alwefjlajwefkl. Anyways, I got taro milk tea and a side of popcorn chicken. My friend got food as well. We were the only ones in the shop, but the food took 20 minutes to prepare. That's insane. They apologized for the wait, but we probably would have gotten drinks only if we knew. I should have chosen "hot" for the popcorn chicken spice level, but regardless, I was disappointed at how tough and chewy it was. Hurt my jaw. Through the course of writing this Yelp review, my star count decreased from 3.5 to 3 to 2. I'm having recovered memories of how awful the experience was, trying to be optimistic but giving into the reality of the situation. There are many other boba shops around Aurora, and the main pro about Volcano is its proximity to H Mart if you're already in the plaza... and if you can even locate it. read more

Besides its popular fruit slush, it may not be apparent from its name this is also a sought after spot for traditional Chinese noodle soups. It may not be difficult to find places for fried noodles (which you can also find in Volcano), but not many places have quality noodle soups with such a wide variety and authenticity. It is even rarer to find a place that handmade all its noodles, buns and dumplings from scratch. Heard the owner/chef's family has been in the noodle making business for generations and the chef has mastered the guarded family recipe. Probably it is the reason why the noodles here have the texture of yesteryears and are quite chewy, on par with the recently closed Blue Ocean (what a loss). The pork ribs, pork chops, beef brisket and beef shank are also prepared the traditional way, more approximate the Taiwanese style, which is another rare find in town. Here are their pork ribs shaved noodle soup, beef brisket shaved noodle soup, pork buns and mango slush. read more

We stopped here on a recommendation that it is authentic boba tea. I would say overall the experience was good. My classic milk tea was okay tasting. Kind of watered down and not very cold. They were having some issues with the freezer producing ice. I didnt finish my drink. Matcha green milk tea was not good either. My cousin had the Hokkaido milk tea- very interesting flavor and delicious. This was the only drink I liked and would get it if I'm here next time. The boba pearls were okay to my tasting. The food was good! And their spice level is no joke!! It is REALLY Spicy! We got their fried chicken poppers. Fried fish tofu. XHot level. I think I can go with medium next time. We were downing our drinks due to the heat. The lobster balls were okay. I don't live here. But if I visit, I would come with my family. I'm not so sure if I was on my own I would stop by. read more

I am happy that there is a boba place nearby me. My go to is the Hokkaido Tea with tiny boba. I love the tiny boba. It's so tiny and slurps through the straws. I always dislike when I have more boba left over than I have tea (which somehow always happens with the regular size). On this day, we decided to try the grass jelly bowl. You can choose your own toppings like the drinks. We added taro, red bean, and aloe into ours. It's like tong sui or sugar water dessert or a dessert refresher with health benefits according to my aunties and mom. It reminds me of the one I had in California like Phoenix. The grass jelly was the right amount of sweetness without it being overbearing. We were lucky to have come in around 20 minutes after opening with no line. However, if you like the bigger boba, come in later since the larger boba was not ready when we arrived. If we wanted the larger boba, we would have had to wait 20 minutes for our order. The tiny boba was available. read more

I know that Denver is starved for boba places, but it doesn't mean that every single boba place is amazing. I lived in LA for 15 years, where boba places are on every corner in Gardena and parts of Orange County, and with that lens, Volcano ranks as an OK boba place. It's more expensive than the boba place inside H-Mart next door, but they also have a nice variety of boba-like things that you can add to your drink. From boba to mini boba to grass jelly-like things, there's a lot of fun that you can add to your drinks. In terms of drink variety, there's not a ton here, especially when you compare it to a place like Honeyboba in LA (my personal favorite boba chain). You'll find some classics here, but you'll also wonder where some of your favorites like Thai iced tea went. What boba place doesn't have a Thai iced tea flavor? Oh yeah, this place. That being said, I had a matcha milk tea boba with mini boba, and it was good. My wife had an almond milk tea boba, which was also pretty good. Was it the best boba we've ever had? Not even close to anything you'd have in LA or NY, and there are some little things that the staff here could do better, like actually shaking your boba so it isn't warm when you get it. I know we can do it ourselves, but that's one of those things that takes two seconds and makes a big difference. In a Denver world that is so boba starved, Volcano fills a craving, but it is still just an OK boba place (that I'll probably go back to because there is no boba here). read more

My 2nd Time has been wonderful! I ordered the Hokkaido and the House Milk Tea once again. I had to give it a try once more and t didn't disappoint. The service was fantastic still! There was no one when I came in so I got my drinks pretty fast. Hokkaido with tiny boba was so good. It was the rich and creamy. I've never had a milk tea like this one. I highly recommend. The tiny boba also wasn't as mushy as the first time I had it. It had that chewyness I prefer but still soft. Highly recommend! Love tiny boba. It's now my preference! The House Milk Tea was pretty good the 2nd time around. The 2nd time is the charm! It was really good. The normal sized boba wasn't too chewy and wasn't too hard. I now prefer tiny boba, but normal boba is good too. read more

Yay to more tea houses coming near us!! Always love a good milk tea, but I have to say I'm still not sure about Volcano. Volcano is so cute, just the type of interior that makes you want to stay and take pictures! Super cutesy and bubbly inside. Like I said, I can't decide if I like the drinks or not. I had a matcha milk tea and I was so unhappy about it. My brother brought it home for me so I couldn't see what kind of options I had to correct this drink. But it was just wayy too powdery and milky. I could feel the grainniness with each sip. So dissatisfied. But I went in person for my second drink and it was so good. I got a hot Jasmine milk tea with grass jelly. I loved it! So I have yet to determine if that first drink was a fluke. One thing that bothered me was it seems like they don't play music. I know it's such a minor detail, but it was actually quite awkward sipping tea to silence. I guess with a group maybe it'll be drowned out by conversation. But it was my first encounter in a tea house playing no music at all! Maybe they're working out their kinks since they're new! read more

There are cuter tea houses in Denver and we encountered a bit of a language barrier with the guy at the register (he was very nice, but we repeated the order three times and it still ended up wrong).

This boba place pop up on yelp since they were the only one that open a lot later than the other boba places. Decor and inside the shop is cute, clean and empty at the time. Even with the yelp discount when you check in, 10% isn't much, because they do add a fee when other boba teas don't charge a fee. It's like a hidden fee they didn't discreet. Then when we finally get our drinks, mine taste like powder hasn't mix well with the liquids. Lucky I did not get any toppings because it didn't look fresh. Oh when you want to go to the bathroom, let me just forewarn ya ahead of time. It's so sketchy because the restrooms is share with other places in the building and it's not very clean. Besides that, if you must and you are craving boba, try to order something that's fresh. read more

Upon walking in, the first thing that popped up in my head was: OMG SO CUTE! And then deja vu because I know I've seen their tables, chairs, plants, etc. somewhere before.. at IKEA. It's okay, I love IKEA. And how brightly lit Volcano Tea House is too. After ogling at their decor and geometric wall decals, my cousin and I finally decided to browse their menu. They have hot/cold milk teas, slush fruit drinks, juices, espresso drinks, ice-blended drinks, and tea. What's different from this tea house versus others? They have snacks! Real snacks. Fried fish balls, fried squid balls, fried chicken, French fries, onion rings, and other tasty fried foods I cannot recall. We tried their (mild) spicy fried chicken and I instantly knew I would be back for more. I can't describe the taste but it was a perfect blend of salt and spice. Just thinking about it makes me wish I ordered more. Drinks? My cousin and I ordered: house milk tea with herbal jelly and boba, Hokkaido milk tea with egg pudding and boba, taro milk tea, and oolong milk tea. My cousin found the house milk tea a bit bland. Boba? We both thought it could be cooked longer as well as sweetened too. The taro milk tea and oolong were for my husband and sister who says they were each lacking flavor. The Hokkaido milk tea was as expected, which is a smooth, milky caramel flavor. Cost? It's pretty steep for drinks especially when ordering a large size with multiple toppings, which is easily around $5-$6. Fried snacks range from $1.50 to $6. Hot grass jelly with the choice of three toppings is $6-$7. Volcano Tea House? I'll be back. For snacks. And maybe another try at one of your many drink options too. read more

We went here for some Coffee/Tea and time to catch up. Thankfully when we arrived, we managed to get our order done before a huge group swamped this establishment. We decide to have our beverages at Volcano Tea House. With most of the fixtures, or dining room tables and chairs from IKEA - this establishment is indeed cute and inviting. They removed some items in their Menu from the conversations I had with the staffs. I order the LARGE ($0.75), COLD Honeydew Milk Tea ($4.25) with Boba ($0.50) and Grass Jelly ($0.50).

Great little hidden gem here! The star of the show in my view are their fantastic noodle soups. The broth is so delicate and clean, yet at the same time flavor packed. I got the hand pulled noodle soup with pork chop - REALLY great. The noodles were so... just really great. The texture and flavor were surprisingly complex and interesting. Noodles are not just noodles. Not here at least. Son got the pork rib with hand pulled noodles and wife got the beef brisket with hand pulled noodles. Everybody was extra happy! The family running the place is quite friendly and obviously hard working. They work their craft and it deserves to be recognized. Not omitting the drinks here. I got the Hokkaido milk tea with herb jelly. Really complex and earthy tea that I really enjoyed. Definitely will choose that again, though, may drop from 50% to 30% sugar. Wife really enjoyed her pina colada slush with coconut jelly. Ended up here unexpectedly for a mid-week birthday dinner and it was a super present. Do yourself a big favor and go not just for the drinks, but for some great Taiwanese soups/noodles! read more

It takes me a few visits before I can truly give a solid rating but for now, my first experience will be a 4 star. The interior seemed very clean and "cute" and lots of seating if you were to ever bring a large group. I think they also had things to buy (water bottles etc). Service was friendly and helpful. He gave me suggestions and communicated thoroughly to help me understand which was which! I got the rose green tea with rainbow jelly and boba. Maybe it was a little too sweet for me and I should have asked for less sugar like I usually do everywhere else! It just didn't wow me but it wasn't bad to say the least. I also ordered mild thin fries to munch on. I think it would have been good without the spicy seasoning-- I don't handle spice very well so I assumed mild would be good for me. Regardless, still a nice snack to munch on while driving. read more

Staff were nice and good boba prices! The place is very clean and has a good vibe. The only thing is that the pork buns weren't really good.

*Update: My latest visit here was pretty disappointing. Only one worker tending the cashier & making boba and the time I went was pretty packed. I didn't mind the wait, but I guess they ran out of large boba cups, so my milk tea was in a to go cup for hot drinks with a hole cut in it for a boba straw with no ice (I didn't ask for no ice) and the milk tea tasted meh, not that good. I don't know what happened, but seems like it's not going so good here anymore. I love love love their house milk teas. And the waffle fries did not disappoint, they were super delicious!! I will be trying other things when I visit them again (popcorn chicken, other snacks, & drinks). I recently went again & ordered 2 lg milk teas to go 1 with no ice so I can save for later and it still tasted so yummy the next day. I like to pop them in the freezer for a bit maybe 20-30min so the tea is nice & freezing cold with a tiny bit of slush lol!!

This review is strictly for Volcano Tea House's boba drinks. I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Even though the exterior is a little beat up, the inside is actually very quaint and cute. I ordered the Honey Jasmine Milk Tea with Mini boba and Egg Pudding @30% ice and 30% sugar. My bf got the Oolong Milk Tea with Passion fruit jelly and mini boba @30% sugar and 30% ice. The teas came out to be exactly what we wanted -- not too sweet and strong tea flavor. We actually really liked the passion fruit jelly!!! The egg pudding on the other hand, not so great (seemed stale? Not pudding enough.) The prices are typical here.. about $5 per drink. I will definitely stop by here again if I'm in the area. An underdog in the tea game in Denver! read more
