Got hungry for lunch and decided to stop in and try this place out. I haven't had Ramen since before Covid so ya, long time. So with that being said, I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely coming back if around the area and to try their other dishes. They don't only serve Japanese food, they serve Chinese as well from entrees to lunch menu items. Service is quick and staff is friendly. Definitely coming back for sure! read more

Volcano - Tonkatsu Ramen.. yummmmm - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

Had tonkotsu ramen here. The bowl came loaded with thick slices of chashu pork, a soft-boiled egg, narutomaki fish cakes with the signature pink swirl, sweet corn, bamboo shoots, and nori sheets. This is one of the better places that you can find in Bastrop for Asian food. read more

Absolutely delicious every time I go here. My kids love the wonton soup and egg rolls, honestly some of the best we've had. Service is always prompt and staff is friendly. It's usually busy when I go in, but they're really good about fast service. read more

Volcano's decor is very modern and clean. If a few wall hangings were taken down you would not know it was an Asian restaurant. The ambiance did not work for me. There were lots of kids and adults who were not soft spoken. The Rolls were good, but there were too many fried choices that were very heavy and too doughy. It was also hard to eat them out of the little bowls we were given. The service was spot on, but for us, there is a better sushi restaurant nearby. read more

Soft opening with friendly service. It's in a strip mall near Lowe's. Went with co-workers - menu is huge. Chinese and Japanese fare. I got the sashimi bento box- Weird combo of Chinese- had an egg roll and a pretty sweet ran Rangoon type flat wonton- the brown rice I think it was- was just a big scoop- hmmm. California roll was good and the fish was fresh- would order these again! Miso-- bland read more

Soft opening exceeded expectations. The chicken in the lettuce wraps had a nice spice to them, so next time I might try their Chinese menu. I've had bad luck with Chinese dishes at Japanese places before, but their lettuce wraps give me hope. Also tried seaweed salad, miso soup, and sashimi salad--all lower carb alternatives to rice/sushi/ramen. The tonkotsu ramen's broth was flavorful, chashu was tender. Only complaint was that that the boiled egg was plain--it needs to be marinated and softer! It felt like we went to Austin. I liked it better than Kyoto, although I have not tried the sushi or bento boxes yet. So far I would rate it 3 or 4 if they were out in Austin, so giving it 5 for Bastrop. read more

New to Bastrop as of March 2025 and it is a so Yummy! 5 . Fresh salads and the best hot sour soup I have had in the area. Super good with pork it the soup. Game changer. We all know hot sour can be made and not taste good. Volcanos hot n sour is perfect. They have sushi, sashimi, Ramen, classic Chinese dishes, and bento boxes with generous portions for Texas sized appetites!! Yum! So good your hubby will steal from your plate if your not watching ;) great service and ambiance. read more

If you've been to Kyoto Sushi, just on the other side of the freeway, then you already know exactly what this restaurant is about. It's basically the same restaurant with the same owners not more than a half mile from the Kyoto location. So I'm not sure what Volcano adds to our fair town. But you can enjoy a meal here. It bills itself as a Japanese restaurant, "Volcano Sushi and Ramen." But that's not the whole story. Read on. Like Kyoto, their sushi is greatly good. Whether you're into Americanized sushi rolls or you're into nigiri sushi, sashimi or chirachi, you'll be happy. Their ramen is not as good as their sushi. I've had better ramen in an airport. But unless you've been spoiled, like I have, on great ramen (I worked within walking distance of a Michelin-starred ramen shop), it's enjoyable. Their bone broth should be richer, and their eggs should be softer and more marinated, but I like their char shu. For Bastrop County, it's good ramen. And certainly, their ramen is as good as you'll ever find in any restaurant that also serves Chinese food. And there's the kicker. They opened two sushi and ramen restaurants in Bastrop, but they're still not confident that Bastrop is ready for a Japanese restaurant, so they a large section of Chinese food to the menu. To be clear... it's not fusion. They don't fuse together elements of Chinese and Japanese food together in the same dish. But they're happy to plate them side-by-side. If you're looking for a Chinese dinner of Szechuan or Hunan chicken with fried rice, an egg roll, and a couple of crab rangoons, but you want it plated in a bento box alongside a California roll, this is your place. They'll even throw in a miso soup and a ginger dressing salad and call it a "Japanese Bento" lol. I mean, it's good. But just know in advance what you're getting into. It's a restaurant that serves Japanese-American food (most of their sushi rolls contain Philadelphia cream cheese or avacado) served side by side with Chinese-American food (such as a Jack in the Box style egg roll dipped in sweat and sour sauce). That maybe that's what Bastrop wants. Is it tastey? Yes. Yes, it is. Will you like it? That all depends on what you're comparing it to. For those of us who are transplants from places with world-class Asian food (like California), it's an overly-Americanized nod to better things. But even for me, now that I know what to expect, I can have a nice dinner here. If I really want authentic Szechuan or a great bowl of Tankatsu ramen I'll head to Austin. But for other nights, this isn't a bad option. Although they messed up on the white they served with my bento (it was dry and under-seasoned, which should not happen in a Japanese restaurant), there were some standout dishes. I was extremely impressed with their cucumber salad. It was amazing, actually. And the salad they serve with their bento featured the most perfect iceberg with a great ginger dressing. Their sashimi was nice, too. And the California roll that came with the bento was absolutely perfect. The decorations in the restaurant are nice, but not remotely Asian. Though they do have what looks like a sushi counter where a few people can be seated. The restaurant is lacking any tables for two. So, a couple has to be seated at a four top. This causes some people to have to wait for a table that otherwise wouldn't have waited. The service we received was very good. We loved our waitress, though it was clear that she was taking care of too many tables. She didn't have much time to check on us. But she is talented and personable and did a great job. We spent $64 for the two of us without ordering any alcohol. But the menu has food in a wide variety of price ranges. And we did add a dessert - mochi ice cream, which they quarter, fill with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup. And that dessert pretty much sums up the review: As Americanized as possible, but still very tastey. read more

I love the hot ramen, everything we get is delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly staff

New Bastrop Sushi, Ramen, and plate dishes. Yumm! Service was delightfully attentive, THANK YOU! Spicy Ramen did not disappoint! Noodles just the right amount of chewy; THREE slices of smoky Chasu pork; earthy mushrooms--loved it! "Jalapeno Poppers" were the size of chicken legs--4 of them for $7.95-stuffed full of crab and cheese. Hubby said the seaweed salad was the best he's had outside of San Francisco- fresh and the perfect tang of ginger. We had a couple of pretty standard rolls on the lunch specials menu. Nothing outstanding there, but we're looking forward to trying the Specialty Rolls next time! read more

I lived in Honolulu for many years, and Seattle, and I've traveled to Thousand Oaks, CA many times for business - I have a PhD in Sushi, and I love the stuff. I do not eat cucumber or California rolls - I eat the real McCoy - Saba (Mackerel), Hamachi (Yellowtail), Maguro (Yellowfin Tuna) all sashimi, and Uni (Sea Urchin Roe) sushi... Now I am not going to tell you this was as good as Honolulu, but, Volcano Sushi surprised the heck out of me - especially considering we are in the middle of Texas - it was the great! All of the fish was very good, and the Uni was also pretty good - for Texas. Of course, top grade Uni would probably cost $50 per serving in Bastrop, so I am not complaining. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, fresh, well lit, and the staff was superb - in my 10-years of living in Bastrop, it was the single best dining experience I have ever had here - bar none. If you know what real sushi is and you miss it, this is the best you are going to get anywhere in central Texas - and that includes Austin wherein all restaurants are based on seemingly great concepts, and very disappointing execution... Bravo to Volcano Sushi - PLEASE continue the great work!!! read more

The ambiance was on point and the presentation was lovely. The sushi however was a little disappointing. I felt like the ingredients were not high quality. One of the rolls we got that was supposed to have crab, had what seemed like fake crab. The seaweed salad was sweet and almost syrup like and the ginger was pink which means it has food coloring in it. Cheap quality. Good sushi is served with real crab and white ginger with no food coloring or sweeter. If you don't mind having lower quality you'll be super happy with this place. If you're a true sushi lover, you might be disappointed. read more

This was my first time here and it will definitely be my last. I ordered the Mongolian beef bento. The soup and salad were good, but the main dish was so salty it was impossible to enjoy. I tried to work around it by eating it with the California rolls, but it didn't help. I informed the staff and they offered to remake it, which I appreciated, but I had already lost my appetite. I still paid in full and left a tip. Unfortunately, I ended up with an upset stomach later that night and had to keep drinking water until midnight. I'll be sticking with Kyoto restaurant instead. read more

Soft opening with friendly, attentive service. We started with the spicy edamame and the Yellowtail Jalapeño appetizer. The edamame was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat, while the Yellowtail Jalapeño was fresh and flavorful, and a delightful start to the meal. For the main courses, we ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen, yellowtail sushi, a Black Dragon Roll, and the Crunchy Dragon Roll. Each dish was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. For dessert, we shared Mochi Ice Cream and Fried Cheesecake. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. Volcano Sushi & Ramen is a fantastic addition to Bastrop, and I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Stopped into a new restaurant for dinner tonight. Had been in the area the night before and thought it was just a ramen shop. Wifey checked the menu though and they have a variety of Asian dishes and a sushi bar. If you e been to Kyoto in Bastrop, the menu is basically the same. Bento boxes, Asian entrees with rice, a variety of noodles. It was all good but was just not amazing or special. I got Mongolian beef bento box which was tasty and portions were good. The bento boxes come with egg rolls, rangoons, California rolls, soul and salad. You have to be hungry to finish these. My grandson got chicken lo mein and proceeded to destroy it. He definitely needs a class in fork maneuvering. He had noodles in hand, hair and face. He was glued to some Tom and Jerry on the TV and couldn't seem to eat fast enough. Staff was fast and friendly. They never missed a chance to ask about drink refills on their way by, almost too frequently! Restaurant was open and spacious. The layout made it feel very big and plenty of room to walk through the tables. Definitely and option for future meals, convenient location and options will keep it in the rotation. read more

Good place in Bastrop for sushi and ramen. Service is great and ambiance is clean. Is it anywhere near places in Los Angeles or San Francisco, not even close. A party of four should expect about $100 bill, without gratuity an tax Good Chinese menu choices, like orange chicken, lemon chicken, teriyaki, etc.... that taste good. Ramen is ok, and sushi is way better than HEB. Would I go to it again, been there twice, maybe once a year type place if I can't do the drive to Austin. read more

I love this place! I had the Fire Volcano Roll and the Spicy California roll. Both were great. The Volcano Roll was my favorite. The service was great!

It was a decent place. Kinda pricey for the quality of food though. There are better places to eat for the money.

Food and service were wonderful! Our server was Cindy and she was so sweet and attentive.
