We stopped here to try this new restaurant in the area. The all you can eat along with Korean BBQ was a great plan for a family dinner. The restaurant has a buffet full of different proteins along with sushi items in addition to full menu to order from. The wait staff was very attentive. The food was pretty good. It was a nice outing with the family. read more

My Son loves Korean BBQ and wanted to celebrate his Birthday Dinner here. This use to be the Olive Garden Restaurant. They were busy for a Monday, but we got seated promptly. Our Server came by she didn't give her name, but she was polite. We got the Korean BBQ and Hot Pots. We ordered the all you can eat, which includes a variety of meat and seafood options. They also have a Buffet and Bubble Teas. My Son enjoyed the Food and said he will be back. read more

This is just a buffet, so be warned that the quality and freshness of everything is highly variable. The service here is good for answering questions but slow to bring ordered drinks or the bill. For a place so far in the suburbs, not bad, but there are better places 20 minutes away read more

I've lived in Owings Mills for about a year now. I knew this place was just around the corner, but for a while it had been closed for renovations. I am a huge fan of Korean BBQ and having a quality place nearby is always a treat to have. Thankfully, this was actually one of the best experiences I've had at a Korean BBQ. The usual experience sees a server prepping and cooking in front of you upon your order à la carte. However, at this location, things are buffet style and for the nighter quality meats and items, that was upon ordering from the direct staff. My family and I went to Volcano Hot Pot for my brothers birthday and had a blast. Our wonderful serve Jenny provided us a complimentary plate of wagyu steak and all you can eat options. She made sure to attend to our every request. The vibe is super cool and vibrant and modern with plenty of colors and music. I highly recommend paying this spot a visit. Def some of the best Asian food in Owings Mills. read more

If you've wanted to go to a BBQ and Hot Pot establishment, Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ is the place to go. We went to celebrate a birthday and we were given 1 free meal! Haven't had this kind of hospitality in any other restaurant. That was so good. Jenny was our server. She was so helpful to us. Kept a close eye on whatever we needed. Their food buffet was clean and stocked. Lots of meat, some fish and vegetables. Even sushi rolls were part of the meal. Then when you were done with your hot pot or your BBQ. You can get all kinds of deserts. It took us about 2 hours to eat. I definitely would go back! read more

Checked out Volcano hot pot and kbbq recently because they were running a 50% off promotion and had a great experience! I was very happy with the genuinely kind interactions I had with our server and staff; everyone was so helpful! I was so surprised to see that they also included sushi and sashimi in their All You Can Eat hot pot and kbbq deal. This was a nice bonus that I was not expecting and their sushi tasted freshly made. The variety here was amazing; there was an appetizers bar, sauce bar, and large selection of meats, vegetables, noodles and more to choose from on the iPad for your hot pot or kbbq. Definitely left feeling very full and happy! For the kbbq, lots of the meats were marinated. My only critique was the meat quality was a bit of a hit or miss, where some options like the thick cut pork belly and short rib cooked up nicely but others like the garlic brisket ended up being overly chewy and not tender. I was grateful for the frozen selection of meats because eventually I was feeling some flavor fatigue after eating so many marinated meats.. we cooked up the frozen beef belly and thinly sliced pork which were DELICIOUS! Overall, a great meal and worth checking out when you're nearby the area! read more

Went here for Lunch on a Saturday Dinner time. 5-16-26, received the Complimentary Wagyu Steak strips since it was dinner!!. Apparently with dinner it's numerous more options that was discovered. We ordered the Short Ribs, Garlic steak strips Steak (not seasoned or marinated), Honey Pork Belly(sooo good) , Beef Bulgogi and Hot Pot 30$ pp weekends!! . Our server was so niice, he suggested several things to try, gave us sauces to dip that we were trying to pair with what we had! Very huge hospitality and accommodating. The Ambience was not packed, clean, lowest chill vibe always colorful soon as you step inside. I'd return for the Short Ribs & Honey Pork (pork belly) and without his family lol. read more

I came for a special promo for 50% off the bill! For that, it was incredibly worth. They likely don't often do promotions like this, but it was fun to experience. This concept is similar to KPot, which also has Korean BBQ and hotpot combined. What's different at Volcano, is that you order the KBBQ items on the iPad, but you can get your own hotpot items at the self-serve bar. I actually like that, because it means I don't have to wait for those items to be delivered. For the food items, they had a great variety. They had many cuts of meat, seafood, vegetables, and even appetizers at the food bar. I came in a party of 6, and while we all got our own broth pots for the hotpot, there was only one KBBQ grill! And it was on the far right. So I found it a little inconvenient to be reaching over other guests. Anyways, the food tasted fresh but not outstanding. Which is expected, given it's all you can eat. The servers were very nice. When there was a mistake on our bill, they rectified it super quickly! I did notice they were swamped this day (probably because of the promotion), so I was impressed they kept up well. My food orders did get lost once, but not a huge deal since we had the iPad to order whenever we wanted. Food was delivered quickly. Overall, I think it's a fun concept and there is a huge variety of food! Wishing them the best. read more

LOVED Volcano! I absolutely can't wait to go back. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and spacious--perfect for both large groups and more intimate settings. The service was amazing. Everyone was super helpful, especially since this was only my second hot pot and BBQ experience. I definitely needed a little guidance, and they made it so easy. And the FOOD! Everything was fresh and flavorful. The meats and seafood were high-quality and delicious. There are so many sauce options to fully customize your meal exactly how you like it. Even the buffet items were tasty, not just filler. The drinks were great too. I really enjoyed both the watermelon Bellini and the Thai tea. I especially loved that the Thai tea was non-dairy. Highly recommend! $35 for unlimited hot pot and BBQ? You really can't beat it. I'll definitely be back. Immediately! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ has officially become one of my favorite all you can eat spots, and honestly, they deserve every one of these five stars. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, lively, and super welcoming, exactly what you want when you're about to dive into a full hot pot + BBQ feast. FOOD QUALITY & TASTE: Everything was incredibly fresh, well-prepped, and flavorful. The variety is huge with tender meats, fresh seafood, crisp veggies, rich broth bases... you name it. The BBQ side cooks beautifully, and the hot pot ingredients tasted clean and high-quality, not like they were sitting around all day. They even surprised us with complimentary wagyu, which was unbelievably buttery and took the whole meal to another level. That alone made the night. SERVICE: Service here is next level. The staff checked in often without ever feeling intrusive, refilled broths quickly, and made sure our table stayed stocked and clean. They actually felt excited for us to enjoy the experience, which you don't see everywhere. AMBIANCE: The atmosphere is modern, spacious, and fun... perfect for a date night, a group dinner, or a celebration. The lighting, layout, and upbeat energy give it that "special but still comfy" feel you want with hot pot and BBQ. EXTRA LOVE: It just so happened to be my birthday, and they absolutely went above and beyond, they gave me a free birthday meal on top of the already fantastic service. Between that and the complimentary wagyu, they made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. This is the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again. OVERALL: If you're craving hot pot, Korean BBQ, or both at the same time (because why not?), this place is a must visit. Amazing food, incredible service, generous perks, and a fun atmosphere, they're genuinely doing everything right. Highly recommend. I'll definitely be back! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

If you're looking for a nice place to eat hot pot and Korean bbq, you have come to the right place!! Pricing is $30.99 for either hot pot or Korean bbq and if you want both, it's an additional $5. This is about the same pricing as other ayce spots. What I like about this place is that all of the meat, veggies, and other selection is grab as you go instead of ordering with your server or on an iPad. This makes it a lot easier to see what is offered and grab as little or as much as you want of an item. For this visit, I got the hot pot with the soup base Tom yum. I got a bunch of ingredients to go into my hot pot but what stood out to me was the vast seafood selection which included crab and oysters. Service was great too, my server Jenny was very attentive and kind. I would recommend this place if you're looking for an ayce hot pot and/or KBBQ spot! read more

First time at the volcano. This is one of those experience restaurants. Not sure if I would frequent here very often. It's one of those places for me to say I have tried it and knocked it off my list. Stag is very friendly and attentive. They did a good job of explaining the restaurant and how the process works with the food. The food could have been seasoned a little better but I get why it's not seasoned. When cooked it made some of the food a little dry and not very flavorful even though I tried to season it as beast as I could. Meats that I had was pork belly, chicken, steak, prawns, half crab, muscles. Atmosphere is cool and not too loud which was a good thing. read more

What a unique experience. The fact that each table can accommodate either the shabu-shabu hotpot AND Mongolian BBQ is extraordinary! The buffet provides ingredients for either cooking method, as well as enough for a full buffet meal, with dessert. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was both friendly and intimate. This is a great place for a date, family meal, or celebration, because there's something delicious for everyone. read more

Volcano hot pot is one of my new favorite hot pot all you can eat choices . The parking was very easy and the customer service was pretty courteous. I do feel like you get a lot for $35 which is the hot pot and barbecue special. I would've liked to have had a little bit more space to eat for three people to have their food, but we made it work. there's nothing else to say other than try it for yourself! read more

AYCE hotpot and/or bbq place. It is on the cheaper side being positioned with similar pricing for KPOT. They have a common area so you have to get up to get your own raw food, but that lets you bring as much or as little as you want. It is efficient and you don't have to wait for staff to bring you stuff. There are a couple of extra stuff like free milk tea that are not much to write about but different to KPOT. I also hear that you can get sushi and stuff on weekend nights, but I was here on a weekday lunch which was about $20. All and all a solid AYCE hotpot/bbq place. Just don't expect high quality for ingredients. read more

The quality of the food was very disappointing. I drove all the way from DC, and it was not worth the time or price. The food simply wasn't good at all. My waitress was neither great nor terrible, but I still left a $10 tip even though it didn't feel deserved. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

A Glorious Culinary Adventure at Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Owings Mills! (If we could give 10 stars, we would!) Let me just start by saying: Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ in Owings Mills is not just a restaurant -- it's an experience. A celebration. A flavor-filled adventure. A place where food, fun, family, and service come together in the most unforgettable way! This past weekend, my fiancé, daughter, sister, niece, and I decided to try something new -- and what a spectacular decision that turned out to be. None of us had been before, and we were eager for a little culinary excitement. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The Food - A Feast for Every Tastebud The food bar was a wonderland of choices. Whether you're a meat lover, pescatarian, vegetarian, or simply adventurous -- Volcano Hot Pot has you covered. The selection of meats was vast and fresh, with everything from marinated beef to seafood to tofu. The sauce station? Oh, let me tell you -- I felt like Gordon Ramsay himself creating flavor combinations that elevated every bite. And the best part? You get to BBQ your own meats right at the table AND build your own ramen bowls with bubbling hot pot broths. Each person in our group got to craft a meal exactly how they wanted it -- flavorful, customized, and interactive. We laughed, grilled, stirred, dipped, and shared -- it brought out everyone's inner chef! The Birthday Surprise It was my sister's birthday, and the staff made sure it was extra memorable. They came out with an LED-lit birthday sign, singing and cheering like we were in a private celebration lounge. We were stunned -- and the two cakes they brought out (YES, two!) were the perfect sweet finish. The tiramisu was rich and creamy, but the dragon fruit cake absolutely stole the show -- the kids were obsessed!

Another awesome time. Lance was a great waiter. Make sure you come see him. Come to check out the experience. You won't be disappointed.

Drove 45 minutes to get there ! 2.5 for the waiter : good service but he never told me that snow crab legs was extra ($5) , not a big deal but still .... gotta let customers know in advance ! 1.5 for the restaurant : exactly like others said , the atmosphere and the scenery were nice but the food was not good overall, the marinated meat are too salty ! Good price on the alcohol , hopefully they will change the quality of the food and the seasoning . Might come back in the future to see if there will be any improvements ! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - The Korean Barbecue - Hot Pot Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

Taste: 2 paws Value: 2 paws Service: 5 paws Overall: All you can eat hot pot and Korean BBQ with less variety and quality when compared to KPot. Good if you're looking for something local in Owings Mill, but otherwise not worth the drive. This is Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ's first expansion into Maryland, and unfortunately, was very underwhelming when compared to other established AYCE hot pot / Korean BBQ restaurants likes KPot. My main complaint with Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ is the low quality and excessive fattiness of their meat. Their meat had almost no marbling, which made for a fairly tough and chewy meal. None of the excess fat was trimmed off either. The selection at Volcano was also significantly more limited compared to KPot, who offers many more cuts of beef, chicken, pork, seafood, vegetables, etc. The one "advantage" of Volcano is that you get to pick your own ingredients to cook with, which unfortunately didn't really matter when the quality of meats was just so uniformly inferior to what's offered at their competitors. Had their meat quality been similar, this would have been a potential selling point as those who preferred leaner/fatter cuts can self select. The service was Volcano was great and was on par with KPot; the servers were attentive and refilled water and changed out the grills frequently. The cost of the AYCE combo was ~$34.99 + a 18% gratuity, which is about the same as KPot. Ultimately, when the price of Volcano is almost the same as KPot's, they need to either offer the same quality, variety, and/or give some other reason to come here. And unfortunately they did not succeed in doing so. Unless you are limited to Owings Mills, I would strongly recommend going to KPot in Catonsville or Towson for a much better experience. read more

Absolutely love their hot pot & BBQ! All the hot pot goodies are available to grab & the appetizers are bomb! Will return ASAP!​

Only 1 stars because our waitress was great! The meat was very low quality and when ordering cokes, I'm sure they were diet, multiple times. The pork belly was gray, after being on the grill and the steak is lower quality (not totally unexpected at an AYCE). Drive 20 min to Catonsville for a much better KBBQ. read more

So, my girlfriend had a birthday today and she wanted to come here. We arrived at 130pm and noticed that the parking lot was virtually empty..aside from 4 vehicles. We went inside and there were no customers visible. We stood at the podium waiting to be seated. There was a guy setting a table(I think that was what he was doing) towards the back and another guy sitting at the bar...approximately 10 feet from us.He had to be an employee because he was wearing the company's shirt. At no time did either fit acknowledge us..in fact, the guy at the bar never looked up from his phone!! After 5 minutes of just standing there looking at these guys,we left! I felt unwelcome and angry because she really wanted to try this place for her birthday ! You won't get a second chance to disrespect me... read more

The food was good. The ambiance was good. Great place to have a date night. Would have given it four stars but I was asked one too many times if I wanted the check. I don't know if that's their way of monitoring how much you eat but it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. read more

Celebrated my birthday here with family. It started off just a few people in the building, but by late evening, the place was packed on a Monday. I've had a hot pot before but never like this. I like that it's buffet style and you can also do hot pot and KBBQ. It was a little overwhelming doing both options especially if you don't eat much or just want to relax and not cook. Definitely will be coming back with an empty stomach and a smaller group. Our server was great! read more

I saw some of the comments talking about the seasoning of the meat and I get it to a certain extent. If I was getting a plate of steak as a main dish I would expect it to be seasoned but in this case the meat is more of a side while the broth and sauces are meant to elevate it. There were BBQ meats that were seasoned well but the other meats to me were just fine since I put it in my soup. I loved the variety of vegetables, meats and eggs and cooked foods. Everything was clean and presentable. I liked being able to try things that I would normally have stayed away from but you can get a little bit and not feel like you're wasting it. The service was good and the waitress was attentive cheering off the extra plates and filling up our drinks. Overall I would come again and try the other spicy soup. The Schezuan soup was spicy and flavorful would definitely get it again. read more

Came here to visit son from California. Was at the nearby Costco and saw this spot and decided to go. Glad we did! Great options for all... opted for BBQ which came will full buffet that included seafood, meats, sushi, veggies, ice cream, and even included typical Asian boba type drinks! Menu also included sashimi, spicy squid, octopus, and all of the other beef, pork, and chicken options. I'm actually pescatarian and had more options than I have ever had at an AYCE Asian BBQ/hot pot ... even in N. California where I live! All for $30 per person ( had 10% off online coupon which lowered further) I will definitely come again on our next visit! The waitress ( Tuesday before Christmas-I can't remember her name) was great and attentive... really nice person and explained everything and kept asking if we were okay, needed tray change, more food, questions, etc. Customer service MUCH better than the spots in my area where they are just plain rude, but I digress. Anyway... come here and you won't be disappointed ( I would not trust any bad reviews... I'm telling you, it's worth it and good)! read more

I really liked the hot pot because of all the food, fruit, and decorations. I would come back again.

GREAT service. By a Brandon and helper. Ask about soup if we enjoy or needed extra flavor. Told us where to get ingredients. Make dipping sauces by mixing if prefer own taste. Told us meats cook very quick.lady at condiment bar said to me been at other K. Type hotpot. This one had so many varieties. Also a soup case loaded with meats to use. Mgr there very friendly and thankfull for remark on bar. Would return read more

Went today first time 6/10 Sauce spoons need to be longer to prevent messy hands Seasoning was a little too salty on the spicy beef bulgogi & meat cut needs to be less fat and more meat for the spicy bulgogi Dessert was nice but dry and definitely not fresh I'm sure it would've tasted better fresh read more

I really like this place. Other Hot Pot spots require you to check off what you want from a list and they bring the whole thing to you. I like the buffet style better so I can pick what I want and how much I want. I was impressed with the variety and freshness of the food. I've been there 3 times already. A bit pricey though, but then everything is pricey these days. Definitely will be back. read more
