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.

My niece took me here for Mother's Day dinner last night. What a pleasant surprise this restaurant…read morewas! There is a dining area and a bar with tables in the bar area as well. If was very clean and welcoming. The menu revealed a number of interesting mixed drinks, wine and beer. Next time I'm going to try one of the alcoholic drinks. There is a very nice selection of dishes including sushi, Bento Boxes, chicken, steak and seafood dinners. We had the shrimp and veggie tempura for an appetizer which was excellent! The breading was light and crispy. There is a nice variety of appetizers on the menu. My niece had the sesame chicken and broccoli with fried rice. It has a great flavor and perfectly prepared! I had a Bento Box with teriyaki chicken, California rolls, pot stickers (what I call them they have another name for them) and tempura veggies. Salad and rice came with my meal as well. The salad had a ginger dressing which was excellent. This was a nice variety of foods and perfectly cooked! For dessert we shared some green tea ice cream which was beautifully presented in a martini type glass and topped with whip cream. The ice cream was not strongly tea flavored as I've been accustomed to. But it was green and very good as well. I'm looking forward to returning to try other dinners.

The atmosphere is serene and subtle, allowing for quiet conversation, This is an excellent date or family destination. The food at YuYo's is second to none and if you haven't visited you are doing yourself a disservice. See you there.
