Kimchichiggae had legit seafood in it but didn't have enough kick (not enough gochujang), felt more like fuzhou style soup
Paul L.

Came back recently with my camera and it's as good as before, service is also awesome and very friendly. I almost think it's better, I'm not sure if it's the meat being less frozen/more thawed, or the staff getting the hang of things- but either way, it's not only passable for KBBQ in LBK, I'd venture to say it's good even for larger cities! The ambiance is super nice and cozy/techie, and they have this funny dimming the lights type of rainforest cafe moment for people's birthdays. A couple of notes that they could improve on despite the restaurant being CLEARLY amazing, just some constructive criticism- Kimchi-jjigae needs more gochujang and more kick, the shrimp is appreciated, but maybe some more tofu would be better and thicker gochujang broth. Korean miso soup is just miso soup, if you're going for Doenjang-jjigae then it's gonna need a bit more flavor to stand out. More fermented soy, chili peppers, and garlic. Skewers were kind of sweet and orange chickeny. I get that they might be catering to the west Texas audience, but I think they underestimate us. We can handle it! Bring out the real Northern/Xinjiang Beef and Pork skewers with all the cumin on them and add the garlic chinese cucumber appetizer too. Corn cheese is way too sweet. Please remove the sweet sauce that's being used on it. Other than that, this place is bussin! All of this is just constructive criticism to keep improving the place and raising the level of Lubbock's East Asian food scene! :) Great job guys, keep it up!

Pretty Good quality of meat and service. Just be aware all day dinner price on weekend

Wide assortment of meats and sides

Being new to Lubbock, finding a Korean BBQ was very nice. The service was amazing. Great customer service. The manager Jackson was very helpful and kind. I felt valued as a customer. Everything tastes delicious. Cooking your own meats, while getting assistance from the server allows you to cook to your preference and eat right away while it is nice and hot. Sushi is delicious with a wide assortment. You will get your moneys worth for sure. Keep up the great work and look forward to dining there again. Felt very calm and chill. They also have a variety of soju Korean liquor if you want a alcoholic beverage

I have been to Volkano about 4 times since they opened and have had a great experience each time! The meats are great quality and I love all of the side options (the soup and radishes are my favorite!). I have had Peter as my waiter several times and he is on top of his game, making sure our grill is cooking correctly and that we have what we need. I love the overall experience of a Korean barbecue and so happy Lubbock finally has one!

Korean BBQ. Beef Bulgogi, Garlic Shrimp

Absolutely delicious food and great service! Finally a great Korean BBQ restaurant here in Lubbock. The personal cooking at the table adds so much to the experience and atmosphere of the restaurant. Great for families, date night, etc. Will definitely be back

Volkano is basically what happens when someone says, "What if we combined sushi, barbecue, and alcohol, and just... didn't stop?" The meat selection? Huge. Like, "I need a strategy and a nap halfway through" huge. Everything was cooked perfectly -- smoky, flavorful, and the kind of food that makes you reconsider every sad microwave meal you've ever had. The sushi was just as solid -- fresh, tasty, and not the afterthought it usually is at BBQ-fusion places. Whoever's rolling it knows what they're doing and probably deserves a raise. And let's talk about the drinks -- they were strong. Like, "I can suddenly sing karaoke in public" strong. Portion sizes were generous enough that I started to worry they were trying to test my survival instincts. The vibe? Chill, a little flashy, and exactly what you want when you're trying to impress someone without admitting you Googled the place five minutes before showing up. Final verdict: Volkano is dangerously good. Great food, great drinks, and great portions -- basically everything my self-control didn't need.

Tried this place for the first time today. The hostess was nice. Our server said her name was Olivia. She was rude. She took my husband's order and disregard my turn to order food for the "all you can eat." When she brought the drinks she didn't even bother to wait for me to tell her what I wanted to order. I had to wait until she came to the table to drop off the sauces for the Korean BBQ order. I order 4 sushi rolls then my husband tried to order another sushi roll for himself. This rude ass waitress turn to me and said that I already order 6 sushi rolls. Not sure why she even has the nerve to say that when I only order 4 rolls. When my husband ask for a dragon roll for his order she said they were big rolls. ( As if he didn't know). She didn't put in his dragon roll order. To make matters worse my husband asked for more wasabi she pointed at his sushi platte for the little bit that was given. How was he suppose to dip the wasabi in a plate without a small bowl to mix soy sauce with wasabi first?!? She gave attitude when she brought the little bowl over with the wasabi. My sushi plates did not have wasabi or ginger. She didn't even bring me a small bowl of wasabi with my sushi rolls. My husband had to ask an other employee for a small bowl for me because I was using the sushi plate that had one roll that I finished early. She wasn't very attentive. My husband had to order his dragon roll again because he never got it. Ways to improve: fire Olivia...or retrain her because her f*&king attitude sucks.

Evie Mae's Pitt Barbecue was somewhere our family said we HAD TO visit while in the area, and it…read moredid NOT disappoint! I would definitely recommend getting there about 20-30 minutes before they open because we arrived about five minutes before opening, and the line was already wrapped around the building! But that was okay because the wait was part of the fun! They literally have FREE alcoholic drinks set out in the lobby, on ice and ready for the taking! Talk about a great introduction to the meal! And as if that wasn't enough, they had another surprise that absolutely made my day! When we walked up to the counter to order, I asked which desserts might be gluten-free. Their response? EVERYTHING in the dessert case was gluten-free, and EVERYTHING on the menu was gluten-free aside from the bread used for sandwiches! I WAS IN HEAVEN! The only problem? Narrowing down what to order! We went with the #12 - 1/2 lb of Every Meat with 3 Pint Sides, which included 1/2 chicken, pork ribs, green chile cheese sausage, brisket, turkey, and pulled pork. For our sides, we chose jalapeño creamed corn, potato salad, and green chile cheese grits. And, of course, we topped it all off with Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and Chocolate Pecan Pie! Words cannot describe how much I dined with a HUGE SMILE on my face knowing that EVERYTHING was gluten-free!!! Even after a little mishap with one of the BBQ sauce squeeze bottles malfunctioning and accidentally exploding all over our food (especially my Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie!), I was STILL smiling! Why? Because the owner heard about what happened, rushed over to help us clean up, and then replaced our BBQ-sauce-swamped plate with fresh meat AND desserts! I mean, TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! She was an absolute delight, and her response made an already memorable experience that much better! :) MY FAVES: The chicken was SOOOOO moist and flavorful, which is no easy task! My favorite side, hands down, was the green chile cheese grits! They had the absolute PERFECT texture and such a mouthwatering flavor! And dessert? Neither pie disappointed, but I LOVE a good peanut butter and chocolate combo! The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie was very rich, but worth every single bite. I'm STILL perplexed at how they managed to make that gluten-free crust so soft and flaky! The entire staff was super accommodating and seemingly HAPPY to be at work! The decor was super fun, and the restaurant was well-maintained. WELL DONE, EVIE MAE'S!!! Next time we're in the area, we are DEFINITELY coming back!

the ribs were the show stopper !! fantastic char, flavorful as hell. nice and juicy. the brisket…read morehad the right ratio of fat on it and the pulled pork was a bit dry but flavorful. line was short when we arrived @11:15am, moved quickly. the space itself is huge. cute bbq spot

The menu was very easy to read, and provided enough variety in order to find exactly what you were looking for without needing to compromise on your appetite. The waitress was very friendly and provided her opinion on local favorites without demeaning other options, always a deal breaker for me when places do that, so she gets special love for her taking care of us that night. Once our meals arrived, it was time to dig in. The food was hot, prepared exactly as expected, and in typical Texas fashion there was more than we could expect to eat in a single sitting. At Chopped and Sliced BBQ, you will never leave hungry. Honorable mention to the fried Okra. I became the star of the night as almost everyone at the table couldn't get enough of it. Also, not sure if it was a regular or one-off, but the night we were dining in there was a man playing traditional Americana folk songs on guitar just inside by the entrance. He provided a nice relaxing atmosphere for the night without being too out or overbearing for my ears. I found myself tipping him on more than one occasion for his contributions to the evening.

Young lady took my order, was super patient, got me samples, told me her favorites and sold me on some pudding. The food was excellent, I had regular sausage, chopped brisket, creamed corn, beans, and chocolate pudding. I can't even begin to explain how delicious this meal was, so good I'm writing this before I even pack up my left overs. It was slow during the time I went so it was mellow and empty but I can imagine this place during lunch/dinner or the weekend gets pretty busy. Absolutely will come back as the service, food, and overall vibe was pleasant and welcoming.

So I guess I didn't order dinner... I made a charitable contribution to Rudy's. I would've been happy with the food I actually paid for, but apparently the missing items are now part of a new "trust us, we packed it" business model. My fault I guess I should have checked it before I left. Definitely not the kind of customer service I expected. Next time I'll apparently need to inventory my order at the counter like I'm receiving a shipment from Amazon. 10/10 would recommend counting every single item before leaving, because what you pay for and what you receive may be two very different things.
