Amazing Korean BBQ experience! Karina made our visit exceptional. She was always smiling, very friendly, approachable, and explained everything perfectly. It's rare to find service like hers. The food quality and freshness were outstanding, and everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommended! Second time, same thing - the quality of service and food you are expecting to get. Again. Karina is super friendly and amazing at her doing. read more

This was my first time at a Korean hot pot and barbecue restaurant and it was so good. Right when we walked in, we were greeted welcomingly and I even had a robot take me to my seat! There was a huge selection of things to put in both the hot pot and the Korean barbecue and everything was very fresh! I would have to say I'm more of a hot pot fan than a barbecue fan, but I enjoyed both equally! Our server was so nice and walked us through everything and even made us her own favorite sauce to use for the barbecue. We both left full and happy and will definitely be back again. read more

This was our first dining experience at Volcano! The ambiance was so comfortable, our Waiter ARTEM was very helpful, has a great personality, and explained everything! The variety of meats, fish, veggies, noodles blows my mind! Every food category was fresh, and delicious! This was a fun and delicious meal. It was different using a HotPot and the BAR- B - Q. and entertaining at the same time! We will definitely return! The Hollywood Trio read more

What an interesting concept of unlimited K Bbq. Everything lined up neatly buffet style- grab as much as you can finish. This works best for me as I am more of pork, chicken and seafood person while family is big on beef. Everyone gets to pick rather than getting a huge portion of meat that you struggle to finish( or try to hide underneath the lettuce to avoid wastage charges, lol) There is a wide variety of marinated meats as well as thinly sliced selection for hot pot. Loved the dessert bar as well.. My favorite is the sauce bar where I can mix different sauces to my taste. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was very clean and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was attentive. read more

My best friend and I went to Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ in Oakwood Plaza (Hollywood) on a Friday night. Overall, this is one of the better hot pot/Korean BBQ places I've been to in the area. Pricing was $38.99 per adult for hot pot and BBQ and $21.99 for kids, which is pretty average for this type of all-you-can-eat hot pot/Korean BBQ, especially for the amount of variety they offer. One thing to know -- the veggies and a lot of the hot pot items are self-serve. I'll be honest, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so normally I'm not a huge fan of that. But everything was actually very organized, clean, and constantly being restocked. Nothing looked picked over or messy, which made me feel a lot better about it. The Korean BBQ meat selection was really impressive. They had New York strip, different types of chicken and beef, beef bulgogi, and even salmon for the grill, which you don't see everywhere. For hot pot, there was a good variety of proteins -- chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and beef tongue (which I was happy to see). They also had some more adventurous options like tripe, "hairy beef," and even uterus... I'm adventurous, but not that adventurous . The veggie selection was solid. They didn't have sweet potato (which I usually look for), but they did have pumpkin, which we love. There were also lots of mushrooms (enoki, king oyster, etc.) and plenty of greens like bok choy. The sauce bar was great with a lot of options -- gochujang, chili oils, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, chili paste, and several house sauces (mild and spicy). They also had kimchi and pickled radishes, which I always appreciate for gut health. Dessert was actually better than most places like this. Not just ice cream -- they had cookies, fruit (fresh oranges and peach syrup slices), and different cakes including a tiramisu-style sponge cake, plus a strawberry whipped mousse. They also have a full bar, and something I've never seen at a hot pot place before -- Thai teas, boba drinks, and coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole place felt very family-friendly overall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booths are more private compared to places like Lemongrass, which made it feel more comfortable and helped cut down on the noise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was okay but not as attentive as Master Ba's. Water refills were a little slow, and at one point our grill stopped working and the manager had to come fix it (they fixed it quickly). Also, just be aware there's a time limit -- 90 minutes during peak/weekend times and 120 minutes during off-peak. I get it because the place gets busy, but it's also annoying since you feel rushed.. less rest and digest. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant overall looked well maintained, which I always pay attention to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I would come back. Great variety, clean and organized (even for a germaphobe), and definitely one of the better hot pot/KBBQ options in the South Florida area. read more

I recently dined at Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ and had a great experience overall. The concept is fun and interactive -- you get to choose your own ingredients and cook everything right at the table, which makes it perfect for groups or a casual night out. The variety of food was impressive. There were plenty of fresh meats, seafood, vegetables, and sauces to choose from, and I really enjoyed being able to customize my hot pot broth and BBQ flavors. Everything tasted fresh, and once cooked properly, the food was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, especially when explaining how the hot pot and grill worked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was clean, lively, and had a nice atmosphere without feeling overwhelming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only downside is they give you a time frame to eat your food -- , especially since you're cooking the food yourself. It's worth it if you come hungry and plan to try a little of everything, but maybe not ideal for a light meal. Overall, I'd definitely come back. It's a fun, flavorful experience and a great spot for social dining if you enjoy hot pot and BBQ. read more

Best hot pot restaurant in Broward! Located in a busy shopping center, Volcano is hidden behind several chain restaurants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon walking in, the interior is bright, clean, and updated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once seated, your table can choose to have hot pot, KBBQ, or both. We only got hot pot, as cooking both is overstimulating and chaotic. They have more broth options than competitors, including Korean seafood and tom yum, and you can control the spice level. You get your sauce and ingredients at a large buffet bar. They had a variety of quality meats, including beef tongue, fatty beef, etc. My favorite is their wide assortment of vegetables-- you can tell a hot pot place is high quality when they offer unlimited snow pea sprouts! Another favorite is the fried tofu skin, which soaks up all the broth. Because you go up and grab your own ingredients, there is no need to wait for a waiter or conveyor belt. As for the service, our waiter was funny, lively, and frequently checked up on us. Although it is a pricey dinner (slightly under $35 per person without tax/tip), it is AYCE. read more

So excited to have found this place. So many delicious meats, mushrooms, and seafood to try I couldn't try it all in one trip. We got both the hot pot and the kbbq (seems like the best way to do it). I got the Szechuan broth spicy and it certainly was spicy , I might go down a notch next time. My one real complaint was they have Pepsi products, but that's not a huge deal. We'll definitely be back for more! read more

Richard was an awesome server. The food was delicious and I can't wait to come back! The restitution was very clean!

Not my favorite hot pot. The spicy hot pot had about 15-20 dried peppers which made it impossible to fish out the items I was cooking. I had to pick them out in order to find the items I was cooking. The complimentary rice was old. The meat was really bad quality. It was mushy and gritty when cooked. The sauce bar had the sauces lined up one in front of the other so ppl were dropping sauces in other sauces and cilantro / onion in other sauces. It should be either horizontal or staggered. Could've had more variety of items. read more

Volcano Hot Pot & Bbq - Stoves are at your table for you to cook on - Hot Pot Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

The food here made my entire party sick. We came here to celebrate a friends birthday after not seeing them for so long. We all shortly after getting home we all question each other and came to the conclusion that this dinner made us all sick. Even the baby! The food was over priced, the miso broth was horrendous. No one at the table liked it. I requested to sample the curry broth before choosing my broth and it was terrible as well. I had to ask if they even gave me the right broth because it didn't taste like curry at all. I played it safe by choosing miso which tasted like dirty tap water. Everyone else who got the miso agreed. The lamb for KBBQ had an old taste. While the selection of items was pretty good, it was unfortunate there was no broth to eat it with. The dessert selection is poor. The chocolate mouse cake tasted like chemicals. The cookies were stale and the ice cream choice wasn't too good either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As much as we like to go to local restaurants, this one just didn't do it for anyone in our party. It's very unfortunate because the place is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One recommendation is that there is a option to purchase a plate vs all you can eat. One person in our party had bariatric surgery and was not able to take advantage of the all you can eat. Yes why come to an all you can eat if you can't "all you can eat"? We went for the birthday celebration, but most all you can eat restaurants offer a paid plate option. Needless to say we won't be retuning. I'm truly saddened because we really wanted to love this place. read more

I would say budget $50 per person and you can have everything they offer read more

We ate at the Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ on a Sunday evening in the earlier hours for dinner and were greeted warmly at the host stand and seated immediately at a table and Mateo our server came by and greeted us and gave us an overview of the restaurant for our first visit. On weekends you have a max time limit of 90 minutes with weekdays at 2 hours. It's plenty of time and we had plenty of time leftover. You can opt for hot pot or BBQ or both (it's only $5 difference in price to do both). We ordered a bottle of wine for $25 and went by to figure out the buffet line setup. You can start on the back wall with light salad and appetizers and then select a few different hot pot mix in items as you start to eat the main entrees. Only get a few things at a time as you figure out what you do and don't like because they charge you for excess food waste (charge per pound). We didn't have any issue with this but I could see this being an issue if you have a huge plate of raw meat on your table and don't use it. All food quality was really good and all of the meat was really tasty and fresh. Also the buffet was so clean and presented nicely and the staff was always tending to it and cleaning up. It was an amazing experience and staff were all so nice. We look forward to returning! read more

From the moment we walked in, a robot host escorted us to our table such a fun touch! Our waitress Carolina was great! We chose our base soups, then explored the buffet to pick all the fresh toppings we wanted to add to our ramen. Everything was clean, well-stocked, and super flavorful. We also got passion fruit margaritas, which were amazing and went perfectly with the meal. It was a really fun, interactive experience great for a casual dinner or a unique night out.

I'd read about this place when it opened a while ago. We decided to try it the other evening. It was really good. This is a hot pot and BBQ restaurant. Every table has a heating element for the BBQ experience and individual heaters for the hot pots. We chose hot pot. In many hot pot restaurants, you choose the type of soup and the stuff you want - meats, vegetables, and more. Here there is a long buffet area where you choose whatever it is you want to emerse into the soup. I chose mostly seafood and vegetables though a large variety of meats were available. It was all delicious. Alex our waiter was most helpful in explaining how the system worked, in refilling our water, and just chatting. If you have room fresh fruit, some cakes and ice cream is available. read more

Came to try out this location since we've only been to the one in Orlando. When we came in we weren't greeted, not even a smile and we were seated. We ordered our soup bases and went to grab food. There were a lot of different options to choose from for hot pot and bbq. Some of the stuff however were not to our liking in the bbq meats. The seasoning for some of the meats were too strong and overpowering our pallets. Our service was also not that great. Our service didn't turn out the grill for us so we had to figure out how to do. We couldn't ask her either cause she took a long time to come to when we needed something. We waited about 10 minutes to get a refill on our drink. Overall, our experience was okay. The Orlando location is better than this one. read more

I'll put at least 2 stars because [[HIGHLIGHT]]the decor very nice as well food wasn't that bad to be honest[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], If you think on coming here, this is my experience and I wanna share it as someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for a while now . I'll start by saying I came with my partner on a Sunday around 5pm afternoon. Walking in up to the host was super nice sat us down. Server came by which was Alex great Server couple minutes passed by. They started getting a little overwhelming on the side we were sitting. I had ask alex for rice never came back got too busy had to get myself up to tell the host if she can send someone. Unfortunately alex was too behide to even check on our drinks for refiles or anything really. what got me upset is that Alex the Server got slammed with so many tables mostly with a 10 top that I saw, which is not ok. How are you gonna put one Server on the side of the floor plan with so many tables on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON and as much as the host was super sweet she should've hold the door and kept an eye on the Server to see how he was doing. Till Alex was drowning a women Yasmin could be wrong about the name but she came and assisted not even the upper highs came by and I blame the managers. Managers because I did not see not one and if I did, they were either sitting down eating or walking around demanding or telling Alex to do certain stuff. I was mad observing, they was not helping they acted like they were doing things and that's upsetting as a manager. You're supposed to be there for your employees regardless, but clearly they're lazy and just care about getting people down and sat but honestly it's not about how much people you bring in, It's about the experience they leave out with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super upsetting I was excited to come here and on top of that AC seem like it was not working at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I understand we are in front of a grill but come on now, I've went to other Korean bbq places and it's not as hot as I felt in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm gonna make sure this review gets out there and if it gets deleted best believe I'm gonna repost it. I see that they be replying and it's very hostile with it, don't be on charge of reviews if you can't take the heat as well I encourage the managers to re-take classes on how to run a restaurant. read more

Located in the Oakwood Plaza in Hollywood, where the old Sweet Tomatoes was homed, Volcano Hot Pot & Korean BBQ has lots of parking. The restaurant is bright and clean and modern. You can have a hot pot meal or a BBQ grill meal for about $33 each or get both for about $38. You have 90 minutes to eat (and cook) as much as you want. We opted for the hot pot only, because we recently had Korean BBQ and wanted the hot pot experience. Whether doing hot pot or the BBQ grill, you fetch your own ingredients from a buffet. I liked that. You're not waiting for items to be brought to you. Of course, you are warned not to overstock your plates because there could be a surcharge for too much leftover food. But it is easy enough to pace yourself. And what an array of offerings. Lots of red meat, tons of veggies, and a plethora of seafood (my favorite). There are dumplings and yams and mushrooms. There is also an area with salads (the seaweed and radish salads were my favorites). There are cooked offerings, including spring rolls, potatoes, and fried chicken wings (which were delicious and had a slight curry flavor). You choose your soup base and the pot is placed on the burner for you. You get your ingredients, cook, and then eat. Of the three we tried, we loved the Thai curry soup base and the Korean Seafood. The latter being our top choice. I overdosed on seafood: shrimp, squid, crab, scallops, lobster balls. I also had dumplings, yams, and two kinds of mushrooms, as well as quail eggs. While my food cooked in a curry broth I feasted on seaweed, a radish salad, and a curried chicken wing. If you still have room, there is a small selection of desserts. It is nothing spectacular. But the oranges were the juiciest, and there are three flavors of ice cream available in individual cups. The chocolate ice cream paired nicely with some lychee. The meal cost about $43 each, including tax and tip. And I think it was well worth it for the top-notch food we ate. Our server, Richard, was very congenial and helpful. And when my husband didn't like his soup base (pork bone), Richard gladly switched it. There is no doubt about it. We will be back and plan to introduce the place to some friends. read more

I discovered Volcano Hot Pot on a whim one day and it probably changed the trajectory of my life. I've been back numerous times and each time I've gone, it's been fantastic. This last time I went (on Halloween) I finally remembered to take a photo (albeit, not a good one). I almost don't want to tell the rest of the world about Volcano because it's a special spot. Go hungry, be brave. Try different things, make a yummy sauce to dip it all in. But don't overdo it (no food waste lol). Go to Volcano Hot Pot once and you'll be back. read more

Volcano Hot Pot You can tell it is a hot spot Generally great reviews overall But for me, I'll be the one that takes the fall The interior was like you're in different country, so I really enjoyed the vibes We got the Hot pot and BBQ for 37.99 because one option is already 32.99 To be honest, it's hard to go in a small group Trying to enjoy all this food This hot pot is unique in a way that it has many options But nothing tasted good, so my review had to soften For one the snow crab was too salty And the hot pot meat, stay red like some kinda mystery The service was great So I'll bring up a star for my rate But if it weren't for that, I'd be at a two Just didn't really enjoy my experience and so I stay true read more
