    I had to go back again. The food was awesome . The waitresses were extremely nice and helpful. The staff is so pleasant when you walk in the door. Love this place. The only thing I wish they would serve is sour cream for the tacos.

    Doesn't look open from the outside, they need more advertising. Their is no outside lights to tell people they are open. Other than the open, it is not that bad, I have seen so much worst places that have buffet. I deff prefer this than golden coral. I did like the noodles and the seafood. The place is super clean, looks like it has been renovated. Another plus was the cleanness of the bathrooms. Top noche. I do recommend that the place puts more lighting outside, and the food to be warmer. We came in at at 7:30, so the food should of been fresh, but that's why my 4 stars instead of 5

    Hadn't visited this location in a couple years and it's been upgraded! Newly renovated, new AC, very clean. Staff are bilingual and very attentive. Food is just as good here as the Orlando location. Unlimited croquetas and queso frito? Yes please!

    This was the first time I went to a Latin buffet that wasn't in my house! I can't believe this concept actually existed until my friend brought my here for my birthday. The food was great and lots to choose from. I didn't take pictures cause I was busy picking food and eating but it is definitely a must if you are a Latin food lover! Service was good, price was right and the food was abundantly amazing. You will not go home hungry here!!!

    Pork chop, spaghetti, crab, ox tail, gizzards, black beans and rice.

    The food was definitely good. I enjoyed the variety of foods, from pigs feet to chicken gizzards and ox tail and beef liver. It was a delight for me. The service was good, everyone we interacted with was friendly. The facility itself was clean, and comfortable. I am from out of state and could only hope they would bring a restaurant like this there, being Colombian I truly loved the flavor profiles here that reminded me of that piece of myself.

    Flies in their cold food

    Literal flies on the food, the food is cold, it is very and I mean very overpriced, you're timed for an hour to eat, And The servers were difficult to flag down. I am most definitely never going to come back here and waste my money again

    This place is everything plus everything

    Place was good, to bad they only have these resturants in Florida had there been 1 in ny game over. Food was good and service attentive. Will definitely be going back when I return to Florida here soon

    All in all, absolutely amazing. I'm not from around here, I'm from LA. I came here o. A suggestion of the shuttle driver. I am impressed! 5 stars for the following: Variety, variety and variety of meats and soups. I couldnt get enough, I tried practically everything and I wasn't disappointed. If you're from LA you know there are many buffet restaurants, typically Chinese. But this place goes above and beyond. Lunch is $10.99 and it includes drink, and it's up to 3pm Come on over, you will not be disappointed. Absolutely friendly service from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend to family and friends A++

    LISTEN. I wasn't too sure about this place before I got there. The photos and former reviews didn't have me convinced. BUT THEN I GOT THERE. The front is unassuming, but plenty of parking. There was a short line to get in which I didn't mind. You pay before sitting, and it was very affordable. We were seated in the back, closest to the food and oh my gosh. What a selection! There is a mix of basic Chinese buffet staples and Spanish/Puerto Rican food, majority being the latter. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the lechon. I honestly would return for the lechon alone. Our waitress kept our waters full and the entire staff was so friendly. Before I finished my first plate I had already messaged several friends telling them about the establishment. I will 100 percent be returning.

    Truly was the best food ever loved it so much had to make love to my sexy ass husband!!!

    Empanadas, sweet plantains, rice, bacon

Restaurant was clean , continuously filled up our water cups! The food was fresh and delicious. Great variety! One feature we especially liked was that the hot pot meats were kept chilled in a cooler, which made everything feel fresh and well-maintained. They also have a hot bar, and the Gyoza and curly fries are cooked to order, so they're served hot and crispy. As a nice touch, they even offer individual cream cups. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily come back the next time we're in town!

We have actually been to Volcano before at another location in TN and it was a different experience. We chose this location for dinner because of our past experience and was very disappointed. First off, the food itself was fine. It was everything else that was just, weird. First, they confused us because the price list only showed either hotpot or hotpot plus bbq. They said because I wanted hotpot they were going to charge my wife and daughter extra. Then when we sat down they told my wife they used margarine, which my wife didn't want. The waitress came back and said it was actually butter, not margarine. No idea if that was true or not. Then we started cooking the BBQ and she came back and took all my food off to put a piece of paper down to cook the food on. I've never seen that before at any Korean BBQ in my life. Then I tried to cook a second plate and she again came running over and took all my food off again to swap the paper. We also had to request side dishes. No mention of what they were on the menu, and the other location we had been to was self service. The meats we tried tasted pretty good, but the buffet was setup without much labels. Some of the items said bbq only, but other items had no indication on them. Most other combined hotpot and bbq places clearly mark what is for which. With so many options around Orlando I wouldn't come back again.

My friends and I were in town for a group trip to some of the Disney parks. One couple comes often and recommended this place. I'm not necessarily an all-you-can-eat fan, but my partner wanted to come so.... here we are. At $70, you'd better get some lobster! But they have a lot to offer! I'm more of a snow crab fan so I had plenty crab legs. The fried shrimp was my favorite. If you were searching for it by sight, you wouldn't have found it. It wasn't in the shape of a shrimp, but it was very tasty. I love fried shrimp. You can pass on the calamari though. That too is a favorite, but it was lacking the crunch and was cold. Oh, one of my friends was going to town on the crawfish!! Lol. So, I guess it was good! There were so many options, I can't remember them all. But they did have a lot to offer. I was saving room for dessert. Their pecan pie was delicious. They come in bites, which is smart, so you can sample many. The cheesecakes was good, but the key lime was divine. It was a good experience. Our group was 15 and we tried not to bother them too much. They were attentive and even broke up our checks. Check it out!

    We love to have a lobster feast once in a while, but it can be pricy! So when we are in Orlando and…read moreoverwhelmed with Disney pricing, we figure for the same price we can get a great AUCE lobster buffet in a "real world" restaurant! We've been here before and while it's not entirely inexpensive, it is priced well for what it is. Though it IS a buffet, the lobster itself is served to you one at a time. Good call! The rest of the food offerings are of really good variety and you should find plenty to enjoy here, including cute tasty desserts. Standouts are seafood casserole, cornbread, seafood/shellfish of all types and many salads, sushi rolls, a variety of fish preparations, etc. The drink specials are fun, but will still pad the bill, so we abstained. The staff were all personable and hardworking, with the bar-staff pulling double duty on the floor and still cheerful about it. One HUGE table left a paltry cheap tip for the poor guy, so we gave extra. Don't b a D*CK, people! Restrooms are fine and the wait was minimal. Parking is great on site, at no charge. Yay! Check it out when visiting exciting Orlando for a fun satisfying meal after a crazy day in the parks! Thanks for following me, stay cool in hawt summer yelping in 2026! ~Tami in Miami
