Seeing that this was our first visit, which we explained when we sat down, you'd think the gentleman who served the table would have been understanding, patient and take his time explaining how it works. As soon as we sat down, he asked what base we wanted. We asked if he could explain the process and he was so irritated and impatient. He walked away while we read the menu. When he came back, we had some questions and while he did give us a smile, he answered in an irritated manner. When we asked for spicy, he looked at us and said are you sure? We said yes and then he asked if we wanted it mild, medium or hot. My brother said hot and he again said are you sure it's very hot. We each went with a different heat level to be safe. Then we asked how it worked and he again, very irritably, waved us to the buffet area and talked so fast we were lost. The broth was so bland and the "hot" was not hot at all. The overall experience was underwhelming for most of us and we won't be back. One person enjoyed it and said they'd return. For me, it was less than a 1 star but since one person enjoyed it, I added an additional star for them. read more

Normally, I really enjoy Volcano Hot Pot, but our mid week dinner was a disappointment. The restaurant was quiet, which explains why the food bar was a bit empty and not fully stocked up, but it felt like the quality suffered because of it. Some of the meat looked oxidized from sitting out too long. Fried food was cold. To make matters worse, the service wasn't good. Even with the place being slow, we had to flag our waiter down a couple of times. Usually a reliable spot, but this visit was a definitive average experience. read more

Finally stopped in here after the place has been opened more than 2 years. I loved all of the options for both hot pot and BBQ. It really makes more sense to do both for just a few dollars more. If you go with more than 1 person everyone must order the same thing. Our waiter was very nice and attentive although he was a bit hard to understand at times. We didn't see the meat rolls for the hot pot until the end. The meat freezer is right next to the ice cream, across from the sauces. They close at 11 and were pushing to get us out about 10:30. They don't mess around with the time. Eat and be gone lol I would go back but maybe for lunch next time as a comparison. The price is a bit high at dinner although it is very good and the items seemed to be high quality. read more

Always a fun experience! I enjoy this hot pot spot over other popular ones in Orlando. They have so many soup bases to choose from and I enjoy that you can go up to the toppings bar on your own. You do not have to order with a limit on an iPad like that they hot pot spots. The staff is incredible because they are very attentive with the grill and are proactive with oiling and helping if needed. So much variety of meats and seafood to choose from for the KBBQ. read more

First time to this Hot Pot. I've tried a competing one and this is much better. I like that they offer everything under one price (seafood, steak, etc.). Some places have the better ingredients out during dinner only or on weekends. Volcano has high quality ingredients out all the time. They have a HUGE seafood selection - I was in heaven. Crab legs, scallops, 2 types of clams, shrimp, mussels, etc. Many choices. They also have a wide selection of hot pot meats - pork belly, lamb, different grades of beef. Many veggie selections (napa cabbage, different types of mushrooms, sweet potato), as well as lobster balls, fish balls, quail eggs, etc. We opted for the Hot Pot, Korean BBQ Combo. It's only $5 or $6 more and you can do both Hot Pot and BBQ. If you're new to this concept, they'll explain it all to you and help :) The grill, at your table is really nice. They had many marinated meats to select from at the food bar. Also large selection of sauces and a visual guide on how to make certain sauce combinations. Our favorite meats were the chicken and bulogi. The food bar area was spotless and well stocked. If you have any room left after all that food, they do have fresh fruit and ice cream options also. They serve alcohol, specialty cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks. I believe this was around $37 per person for the combo option. We'll definitely go back again. Just go hungry! Tables are limited to 90 minutes and they will charge you for food waste if you get a lot and don't eat it. We didn't have any issues with that, but just FYI - they have signs posted at each table. read more

The first to notice was the fast service the location has. We were immediately seated for dinner, and our waiter was friendly and very helpful in getting to understand the menu. For those who are not familiar with all you can eat kbbq, you have to do the cooking your self! . Service 5/5 There are basically 3 options to choose from. Either korean bbq, hot pot, or both. I chose both to get the full experience. The food options were endless. There was seafood like snow crab legs, blue crab, oysters, and shrimp to meats meats and more meats! I am a huge fan of kbbq, so I am very critical when it comes to the bulgogi (marinated meat). While their pork belly and short rib cuts were delicious, the bulgogi had a strong sour/citrus after taste that made me want to stick to the hot pot only. Food 4/5 The location is nice and well illuminated, with a stunning centerpiece of a wide variety of food to select. It's definitely worth trying out if you are searching for your fav kbbq/hotpot location. read more

Expensive but sooooo good!! The ingredients are fresh and the buffet has sooooo much to offer!! The restaurant is beautiful and new. It's sparkly in there and the lights look cool. The broth came quickly and they have good service. They are willing to bring you just about anything you ask for even if it's not on the menu they really try hard to make you whatever you want. It's a very big place too. They have so much different food which is awesome because there is variety for everyone. You can do hot pot or Korean bbq or both. It was expensive but worth it. I'll go back when I'm ready to indulge! I'll recommend as well!! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot pot and slushy drink - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Very simple process to get a day of reservation for 6 on a holiday weekend. Location was clean and well organized. Too many hot pot locations try to cram more tables in a small space which leads to customers struggling to get to/from service bars. Staff was very friendly and checked in regularly. My party opted for hot pot and k bbq ($5 extra) and enjoyed both. Some of the marinades were very tasty while others weren't my jam... but that should be expected. All in all, I'll try this location again... best hot pot place we have found in the area so far. Keep it up! read more

This place is a tad pricey but we really enjoyed our dinner and the "experience". I absolutely loved that everyone could prepare their own meal the way they wanted. Our server was attentive and nice as well. The inside was very clean and vibrantly decorated it was a really enjoyable night for our group. I definitely would recommend and I will definitely be back. read more

First time here because my favorite daughter said we had to go. First off I've been to a few ayce Korean bbq places so I this pulsing be any better. First off the staff was amazing, friendly and better yet my kid ordered a drink (smoothie) which meant I got a milk tea for free. That's an automatic plus. We got the bbq only option because we were there to make profit and eat so much protein lol. The options were plentiful and the meat was wonderfully seasoned and not too salty (at least to me). We ate sooo much and just had a good time. How can you not like places like these. read more

Been here multiple times already and it's always a good experience. The vibe is fun and welcoming, and the employees are always attentive and kind. There's a huge selection of food and everything we've tried has been really flavorful and fresh. One of my favorite things is being able to try different meats and sides without feeling limited. Easily one of the best AYCE KBBQ spots around -- definitely recommend checking it out! read more

This is the second volcano location I've been too and it didn't disappoint. Came here for lunch and opt for both hotpot and bbq. It was only a $5 different. Items were fresh and there were a lot to choose from. Veggies to meat. The sauce bar is decent as well. I usually get the Tom yum soup and it wasn't too spicy for ones who can't handle the spice. Friendly staff. Plenty of tables. read more

Volcano Korean Hotpot is a good option for someone with a good appetite. It is all you an eat with moderate price tag. The bulgogi was well marinate and the short ribs were also very good. The pork belly and ribeye could use some kind of seasoning but they give you a lot of choices to do so. The salad bar and meat selection was a good size and this is a place I would definitely go again. Overall a solid option for lunch or dinner if you are hungry! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

I would not call myself a Hot Pot fan but I was here for a family dinner. They have a one price all you can eat model (90 minutes max). You choose your broth and they have a buffet style set up so you can choose what noodles you would like and you add vegies, dumplings or as much as various types of seafood. Additionally, they have a few prepared hot items like spring rolls and pot stickers. The food was all fresh and presented nicely. The staff was friendly and seemed to really be invested in you enjoying the meal. I don't know that I would have chose this for myself but I will say since this was a family function I was satisfied and it was not bad at all. read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Finally tried out this hot pot location. This is my second experience with hot pot. I liked that it was buffet style for the items so that I didn't have to wait for a conveyer belt to bring things around. I did feel the server sort of expected us to know exactly what to do, and since this was only our second time we had a few confusing moments. The tags above each item on the buffet actually had the cook time, which we didn't notice until we were almost done with our meal. The tags are a shiny gold and with the lighting at the time, a bit hard to read. I wish they had something by the table or just that the server did a quick run down of most items cook this long. I did get the Tom yum broth and added some extra sauces to it. This broth was very delicious. Lots of flavor, probably didn't need to add. We also did the BBQ but probably next time I would just do the hot pot. read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Tom yum broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Nicely decorated place with large booths. It's okay; probably of more interest to hot pot lovers than to Korean BBQ fans. Buffet-style ingredient selection. I think the food quality is better at some alternatives such as KPOT, SoGongDong, and Gyu-Kaku, but if you're in the area it's worth a try. read more

We decided to get both the hot pot and all you can eat meat. For the price, the food was pretty good! They had so many hotpot options. I wish they had more meat options but not complaining as we were so full from the hotpot itself. Our server was also so nice and super attentive. read more

What a great spot with quality food. We were seated right away and we opted to just do the Hot Pot. The pork broth has bones in it, the Tom yum has a good spicy kick and the original was perfect to add your own seasonings to. The add-on of vegetables, meat and seafood was better than the other places I've been. The service was quick and so polite. It's all you care to eat but you have a 90 min time limit. Once you place your order, you get up to serve yourself your fixings. By the time you're back, the hot pot is on the burner ready to go. They have a very nice layout. A bar is to the left and there's plenty of tables/booths. Very clean and found it to be quite delicious. Don't forget to fill up on ice cream! read more

Clean and excellent food and service. Well explained and established moment is well maintained

Early birthday dinner for my granddaughter. She and her sister love this place. It is delicious. It is comforting. It is clean and friendly. The food is really good. A little disappointed there was no shrimp tempura this time as that is one of my very favorites. The Ramen is always good and you can make it yours, choosing what you wish to put in it and the flavor of the broth. Have been here several times and never disappointed. read more

The food quality here is amazing. Really nice that its a buffet style to gather your meat and veggies. Compared to other kbbq and hot pot, you can choose how much portion of whatever you want. Not only is the quality of food great, but staff was really helpful and made sure that my entire table was doing great. 5/5 would come again. :) read more

I love bbq & hot pot and not many places will offer both at the same time. This place is new and I'm happy winter garden finally get a place like this. Food was fresh and flavorful! We will definitely be back. Food: We did both bbq & hot pot. All the meats, seafood, and veggies is fresh. I chose spicy broth (sichuan pepper) for my hot pot and it was hot & satisfying. If you can't handle spice well, I would order a different broth because it is pretty spicy. My husband chose pork bone and it had mild flavors and definitely need extra sauce to boosts flavors. Luckily their sauce bar is awesome and you can mix different sauces to your own liking. There's also appetizers and desserts but we didn't get to try because we were too full. Service: The staff was friendly and attentive. Our server came to refill drinks and take away dirty dishes. Half way through he even came to replace our bbq grate which was very nice. Value: $30 for hot pot or bbq alone and $35 to do both, very decent price! The time limit is 90 minutes. Ambience: This place is still pretty new and very clean! Nicely decorated and pretty spacious with good layout. Note that the tables are all in a booth format so if you're coming with someone who can't sit in a booth you can want to call ahead and ask what can be done. Crowd: We went around 7:30 pm and it wasn't too busy and we're seated right away. There were several tables already inside. Somehow around 8 pm it did get busier and more people came in so this place is getting popular in the area. I would suggest coming not during the normal dinner time so you can freely explore all the options without waiting in line with a lot of people. Parking: Plenty of parking in the Winter Garden Village parking lot. read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot pot in front of each seat - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Taking the family out was a great experience. The service was excellent, and while the unlimited meat selection was smaller compared to other BBQ places we've been to, it was still satisfying. This place is great for Korean BBQ, though it lacked the typical Korean side dishes (banchan) if you're looking for a full Korean cuisine experience. Despite this, it's highly recommended and worth a visit. read more

We arrived around 1 PM on a Saturday and were seated right away. The location is fairly new to the Winter Garden area and there is ample parking in the shared parking lot in the Fowlers Grove shopping area. Our server was exceptional and so incredibly kind. We had never dined here before, and they had so many different offerings, but he walked us through each, and every single one of them, and walked us through the guidelines for both the hot pot as well as the barbecue. We opted to do both which is roughly $36 a person, but it is unlimited. Please keep in mind though too only take what you can eat as they do charge by the pound for any food wastage. For the soup we both opted for the spicy broth. My husband opted for mild and I opted for the second level - definitely great heat in the second level really enjoyed it, when we go back. definitely would like to try the herbal or the miso to have a different flavor. All of the meat was really good although there were parts of it that were fatty but we both love that you had full ribeye steaks that you could cook yourself at the grill. We didn't realize until it was too late that they did have shaved meat that you could put into your soup that is frozen next to the wall. Will definitely look at that the next time we're there. All of the food is super fresh and I love that you could go up and pick and choose what you wanted from a large Buffet style offering. read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

As a member of the big back community this place is big back approved. Good food. Very clean. My waiter was amazing. Big back certified.

VISIT DATE: 3/9/24 Newer hot pot and Korean BBQ place, which has expanded to the Winter Garden Village plaza. It's a pretty big location, but it can get busy during the peak dinner rush. FOOD: I really enjoy the variety of protein, fresh veggies, and hot dishes. The hot pot proteins (beef and lamb) are rolled. One downside was that there wasn't any rolled chicken that I saw for hot pot. There were plenty of options for seafood. There are also separate proteins for Korean BBQ, as well as a line of hot food (fries, spring rolls, etc.). The base option is for hot pot with an option to add on Korean BBQ. Either way, both will be at your table because of how the tables are set up. With this type of food, you get to play chef, so if the food doesn't taste good, it's mostly on you. But have no fear because they do have broth options to start, as well as a robust sauce bar, so you can add some additional flavors to your hot pot or Korean BBQ based on your preference. I ordered the original with bone, which was delicious. You can also request some white rice too. Finally, there are ice cream cups (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry), which are just meh, plus some fruit. To be fair, I don't go to hot pot/Korean BBQ for the desserts usually. SERVICE: Once the servers take your order and bring your hot pot, their service is limited to snagging your dirty dishes and refilling your drinks. Jon was our server, and he was awesome. ATMOSPHERE: Like I mentioned, this place is new and clean. Note, this review was from lunch on a Saturday, so it wasn't especially busy. Yes, I'll be back. Volcano has always been a favorite. They have one on 192, and I'm glad they're expanding. NOTES: * 90-minute maximum time for tables once you order. * Check your cook times or ask if you're not sure. * Avoid peak times if you have a large party or you'll be waiting awhile. read more

Came late but service was still perfect! Brand new and modern feel. We have been coming to Volcano since it opened on Irlo Brunson Pkway. Definitely happy it opened on our side of town. You could say it led the charge in all the AYCE Kbbq in Orlando, although no conveyor belt, all items are centrally located and easier to get to. For the grill, love this grill type I prefer to cook with these and also the vents. You don't get that Smokey greasy feel upon leaving. Only one thing I would prefer would be butter! Love cooking with butter than any seed oils. Lots of selections. I love the broth mix I chose, half Tom yum have pork broth. read more

This is my go to location and hot pot chain in all of Orlando (having tried Bashu, Nine Spices, U&Me, JuicyPot which are also all great) which is epic for being brand new! The food at the Volcano chains and here are fresh, great meat options that aren't always offered at hot pot and AYCE KBBQ (galbi beef shortribs, blue crab). My go to broth is Herbal and my secret sauce at their epic sauce bar is a heap of garlic, cilantro, green onion, sesame sauce, oyster sauce, dab of sesame oil, and fill up with house garlic sauce. No need to be worried about how to make your sauce because they have how to diagrams available with how to make different types. This location just opened and has even more rare options than their original Kissimmee location (pickled chicken feet, ribeye steak, frog legs) for those who are wondering how authentic they are. My one sadness is that the Volcano chains used to carry this AMAZING mint chocolate chip ice cream which almost rivaled the whole meal and have now gone to a typical chocolate, strawberry, vanilla selection. Great price for what you get and people from Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, and LA have all loved it. It's buffet style for both hot pot and kbbq (pro tip, do both) which I love since you get to eat at your own pace, fast or slow! read more

There was about a 30 minute wait for a table on a Saturday night. The place was packed.The table ordered both ramen and BBQ so I was able to taste everyone's creations and loved them all. I was very impressed with the freshness and quality of the raw buffet. It was loaded with vegetables, numerous meats, lots of seafood, sauces and so much more. Our waiter was outstanding. He didn't allow us to miss out on a thing. Each time he stopped by the table he gave us either advice, encouragement, samples of sauces that he liked or big smiles. You definitely get it all here...quality food, great service and top tier cleanliness. read more

Great place, instructions to a first time visitor can be overwhelming. Be sure to ask lots of questions. There are plenty of workers happy to answer. The challenge again is what to ask. The atmosphere was modern, clean and open. So many choices, what's for the pot and what's for the grill was my question. Didn't stop me though. What I did figure out, I took advantage and filled up to satisfaction. I will go back with an idea now where to start and what to do. read more

The kids loved this place. Food was ok. It was clean and the food was kept on ice the servers always kept our drinks coming.

Very clean and new restaurant. The selection of food was great. I don't eat meat and I still left full:) They offer either just hot pot with several varieties of broth, most of which they can make vegan, or you can do bbq and hotpot for an additional $5. The only thing to note is everyone at the table must order the same thing(hotpot or combo) The sauce selection was fantastic too and the service is friendly. read more

Wowza! This brand new all you can eat style hot pot/Korean BBQ place is fantastic! The offerings are insane: seafood, protein, veggies, noodles, honestly I was shocked at the offerings. Beef, pork, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, crab, frog legs, beef tendon, And literally, all you can eat for $29.99! How?! I'm always a little leery of "buffet/all you can eat" places but this one is immaculately clean and you can tell they take pride in ensuring things are kept sanitary. They have the "cook time" listed above each item as a guide which I thought was very helpful Service was wonderful. They explained the process and helped guide us through the menu offerings. They setup your hot pot (or bbq) and refill as needed (without asking) which I appreciate. Hot pots are placed directly in front of you so you can add your own items. THIS IS A COOK YOUR OWN FOOD PLACE. So you'll want to be sure you're following proper food prep guidelines; avoid cross contamination of raw food with cooked food, proper cook time, etc. Overall, a super fun experience and really delicious! read more

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

I pulled into Winter Garden village this weekend with the intent to go to Bonefish Grill. Parking in front of the restaurant was tight so I parked around the corner in front of this white building that said Volcano's Hotpot and BBQ with a buffet sign on the window. Intrigued I turned to my wife and said wanna try it? She said sure. Lol. Admittedly I've never had hotpot, but love Asian food, BBQ, and buffets. Seemed like a win win to me. The premise in short is that a pot of soup (hotpot) is cooked in front of you at your table on a mini stove and your meat is BBQ'd on a burner in the center of the table. All the ingredients are raw and chosen in a massive buffet setup. Massive it was. All manner of vegetables, noodles, seafood, sauces, and meat/poultry. I can't lie, everything was good.... My favorite was the short ribs and chicken. I did udon noodles with chili oil, garlic, cilantro, brisket, and spinach for my hotpot. I plan to be a bit more creative on my next visit lol. The restaurant space is very clean and the service is incredible as well... your server will assist in grilling and turning the meat so you don't have to and your drinks will be refilled before you finish the glass lol. We left stuffed, and for $34.99 per person it is an incredible value. I will ABSOLUTELY be back. read more
