Just had a two birthday celebration this past weekend. Bubba as his name tag stated was our chef. I have been to alot of hibachi restaurants in my 59 years and Bubba far surpassed the the experience as well his cooking. I would 100% go back there ifi knew I eould get Bubba again read more

Food is ok but nothing to write home about. But they are way over priced for the food and experience. My wife and I each ordered chicken fried rice and ice tea for lunch over the weekend. We ate at a table and not at the grill. The bill was over $50. Be aware they do not offer lunch menus over the weekend and you get stuck with their dinner prices for lunch. read more

great experience! Its a very family friendly spot! take the kids! On Tuesdays, it's half off sushi. On Thursdays, kids eat free! Cant beat that! The sushi is fresh. The portions are very small in comparison to other hibachi restaurants. The quality of food, its just ok. But, The service is awesome. Very friendly staff! Definitely a great night for the family or even yourself! read more

I love the Volcano restaurant chains. Their Hibachi & sushi is delicious! I normally visit the Kennesaw location, but I stumbled upon Hiram's location recently. We were originally going to dine in for Hibachi, but this location also serves AYCE( all you can eat) KBBQ & Hot pot. It is one big restaurant, but it has a hibachi and sushi side, as well as a Korean barbecue and hot pot side. So if you want Korean barbecue, it's gonna be on the other side of the building. They can't bring hibachi/sushi menu foods to your table if you do the Korean barbecue and hot pot, and vice versa. I'm not the biggest fan of places like KPOT/kbbq & hot pot, but my friend was visiting us from out of the country. He insisted we do the kbbq & hot pot side of the restaurant. I do like volcano, restaurants, even though I don't typically like doing both barbecue and hot pot I decided to give volcano a chance. The reason why I don't like these places is because the meat is usually cut too thin so it's better to be on hot pot. But the seasoning and the hot pot is usually not the best so it's better to eat it on the grill . I opted to do only the Korean barbecue only, but if you want hot pot, it's a five dollar up charge. You can't just do only hot pot. My friend ended up getting both because he really wanted to try hot pot. Despite the name being korean barbecue, they actually had a lot of Chinese seasoning. If you look in the picture below, there is a Chinese barbecue seasoning. It's delicious. I love this dry rub that you can dip your meat into. I seriously think the dry rub was the best seasoning they had on the sauce bar. The sauce bar you could make your own sauces, as well as get some Korean side dishes, like kimchi and radish. They also have a small buffet area where they have noodles, Rangoon, dumplings, french fries, chicken nuggets. I really like their stirfry noodles. It was really flavorful! I highly recommend also getting some of the appetizers on the menu that is not on the buffet. They have corn cheese,Ramen, Korean rice cakes, veggie dishes, and more. I really liked the beef radish stew. I think I had four bowls of this. It was delicious, the beef was so tender, and the broth was just so flavorful. It's funny because my friend also tried the soup and he agreed the beef soup had more flavor than his hot pot . I did notice a problem with the meat being too thin for the grill because it burnt very fast and it sometimes stuck to the grill, but it wasn't as bad as their competitors K-Pot kbbq. Our server was very kind enough to change the grill anytime it got super dirty or if too much meat stuck on the grill. I also liked that the grill was really hot and it actually cooked our food. This is the main reason why I don't do both. I prefer going to a restaurant that specializes in Korean barbecue or go to a restaurant that specializes in hot pot. Despite our grill being very hot, I noticed mine friends hot pot took a long time to boil. I made sure his stove was actually on and it was on the highest setting. I took about an hour for his hot pot to actually start boiling, they do bring in pimping hot pot broth at the beginning. He was still able to cook his meats, but vegetables and thicker cuts of meat, took him a long time to cook. Oddly enough, the star of the show for us was the drinks and the desserts. We ordered three lychee bubble tea. It is a little on the sweeter side so I would mix it in with a little water or ask for a less sugar. But it was really refreshing and delicious. They have a few desserts like Chinese donuts,sesame balls, and a whole ice cream cooler. The ice cream was great. It's individually wrapped, and had three flavors, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Their service here is very nice. I was greeted by other servers and staff. I also like seeing that they feed the staff. There was a little corner where the staff was able to eat, which always makes me so happy to know that they take care of the them. Would I come here again? Probably but I'm sticking to only Korean barbecue. Only because the hot pot took forever to actually boil, and I preferred the dry rub which taste better with grilled meats. I would come here often if it was Korean barbecue with revolving sushi. I love volcano's sushi, and if they did Korean barbecue with it. That is a dangerous combo for me. I would be here every weekend. read more

I came here to celebrate my son's birthday. First the waiter looked sad, mad or just plain. Tired. Then it took about 20 for them to start cooking. The soup tasted like chicken noodle.soup. The lo mein noodles looked like Spajetti noodles, the chef cooked the salmon too long so it was very dry. The chef also kept the rice cooking too long so it was burnt. And when the people came out to play the drums for his birthday the guy looked like "just get thus over with". I was so excited about taking him here but I'm sorry to say I was very disappointed . read more

I was super excited to try this new restaurant, however I was extremely disappointed. To have to cook your own food would have been okay, but for forty dollars.And only having the option to choose one.Soup base, and then that soup base is extremely bland was highly disappointing. Though most of the seafood I chose was fresh.The soup base was horrible.I tried everything I could to season it.But it is just not worth the value of thirty five dollars plus tip and tax. I will not be returning. read more

Great lunch experience wonderful hot pot and Korean bbq. Really tasty cuts of meat. Good value for the money. Friendly service went with friends and it was good. read more

New Korean BBQ place alert! I visited today! Despite having to wait a bit for a table because the staff were not ready yet at 11:15 (their opening time) I was impressed with the restaurant's extended parking lot, very nice ambiance, and great interior decor. The quality of the meat was decent, but not the most scrumptious I've ever had for the price ($39.99/person). It was also a pity that the grill had some issues, which made us wait for quite some time, so my white rice ended up cold and my husband resorted to eating more of his fried rice than the meat because fixing the grill took so long. At one point, the fire had blasted almost on our faces... (lol scared the hell out of us) One good thing was that the server was being really helpful in assisting us throughout our meal. We were also informed later during our third round that they serve dinner on Saturdays and Sundays, I thought I was paying for the 19.99, which I wish we had known sooner since we weren't able to try all the options (we had hawaiian bulgogi, the other type of bulgogi, pork belly, and brisket - the latter of which wasn't part of the lunch menu but interestingly only offered as part of the dinner menu). In retrospect, I think if I were to visit again, I'd opt for their hotpot, which has more options for different broths and ingredients to mix things up. I think we would have had a better experience. However, one standout for me was their tea options! I'm a big fan of passion tea, but I find that many places make it too sweet. This spot's version was on point - one of the best I've had in the metropolitan area! I'd definitely recommend checking out their fruit tea options! I almost wanted to buy a second cup to go. I can see myself stopping by just for tea to go. Overall, while there were a few hiccups, I appreciated the effort the staff put in (especially our very personable server!) and the general vibe of the place. Perfect for Korean BBQ lover like me. I hope they will continue to improve and I look forward to going back for the hotpot! Did I mention the bathroom was really clean!? :) read more

This restaurant will likely be out of business by 2027. When you pull up all of the promo specials are being advertised for a reason (ie. Kids eat free on a certain day, 50% off on another day, etc.)....it is because they are losing business but now I understand why....The buffet mainly consist of a ton of sauces & spices, some fruit & a few very over fried items (ie. Wing flings which were actually decent, small hard fried ragoon, hard fried spring & philly rolls, dry french fries, which are never good in a buffet unless u get them fresh when they first come out & dried lo mein noodles, anywho... for $40 my fiance had 9 wing flings & dry lo mein noodles from the buffet which he left in his plate & iced tea. I had 3 wings from the buffet, tatsed the lo mein & is was dry so I did ot eat it & the 3 meats & mixed vegetables included in our meal & water. We only ordered one single serving (NOTHING MORE/NOTHING EXTRA). Of course, since my fiance was barely eating I could not finish. He asked if we could take the remainder of the food he already paid for & the waitress said nicely but with her whole chest that it would be an EXTRA $14 to take the remaining meal ALEADY PAID FOR. Now I can see if we ordered EXTRA but we only had a single serving & of our PAID FOR MEAL. My fiance asked if it would be thrown away (which he knew the answer to but was trying to make a point) & she answered with such confidence & pride said "Yes. " Of course, we left the remaining meal & this review but WE WILL NEVER RETURN and In 2027 I'll check to see if I am right ....there will be no place to return to. read more

Food for the hot pot was fresh and well seasoned, the buffet was good, and the service was friendly! We enjoyed it! Prepare to spend $80 for a dinner and sodas for two people. Add extra if you want alcohol. We went on a Thursday afternoon around 4 p.m. and there was no crowd, so we had no wait at all. read more

Volcano Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Barbeque Near Me - Hiram, Georgia

This was my first time here. We were greeted upon entry, but could not be seated until our entire party arrived. So, waited at the bar. I ordered a Mai tai, and it was strong but good. Once we got to our table, our waitress explained everything to us. You get two meats at time to cook. You get access to the bar which had fried rice, chicken, veggies, dessert, and some fruit. I don't like the fact that there's a two hour limit and you have to cook your own food. (We had a party of 4) I think 2.5 would be better. The food was delicious, but be prepared to spend some money. It was my birthday so a robot sang to me and I got a nice set of chopsticks with utensils. I would definitely go back. read more

It was our first time there and the hostess and server were very patient with us. The service was awesome, and the food was fun and delicious! I took my son and nephew, both 13, and they we smiling and happy! The restaurant itself was super clean and very inviting. We will definitely be back! My son suggested having his birthday party there, so we shall see! Thank you! read more

Had a wonderful dinner with the family tonight. Customer service was A+. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive but so was everyone else that worked there that passed by our table. Sides were tasty. Everything was well seasoned. Lots of variety and choices. Also love the hot bar buffet. Ambiance was lovely. Bathrooms were clean and well constructed. Vibrant place and the kids loved that they had boba and it came to table via robot. Yay we got cool points as parents for bringing them somewhere cool read more

Volcano Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Barbeque Near Me - Hiram, Georgia

Delicious! Service was wonderful overall a very good experience. A great place to spend my birthday!

The ambience is nice. The service is OK. The food is miserable. We went for lunch and only had three different meats. The last week we tried left a metallic taste in our mouth. Well, I think the idea of having all the side dishes in a buffet style line, it was not pleasant visually at all. Go at your own risk, if you have the time go out to Gwinnett county or even Cobb, there are Korean barbecue places there. read more

My family and I had a large party to celebrate a birthday last night. Other than this place being expensive lol we had a good experience. The food was good. I loved the buffet options and that they also brought you salad or soup etc upon request. Our server was excellent so no complaints there. Be prepared for a 20 percent tip added to your bill at the end so you don't freak out. The kids enjoyed the cute little donuts and ice cream cups after dinner as well. read more

I will not be returning to this establishment, it's a rip off. I came here for the first time with family. We came during the day and for a group of 15, the bill came to $900 because someone picked some things off the dinner menu, which bumped our per person price of $19.99 to $34.99. I didn't even eat any of the food cooked at the table. I was hungry so I got a plate of noodles and two wings from the buffet to hold me over. To pay that price where you have to cook your own food and to have a gimmicky robot to deliver your drinks to your table is outrageous. read more

The ramen water was absolutely disgusting. Then when we asked for noodles they brought them out cold. Unfortunately this quality of food didn't work for us. read more

Came here on a Wednesday to celebrate my friend's birthday. There is plenty of free parking here and it wasn't busy this day so I got a spot right up front which was nice because it was cold when we left. When we walked in they wouldn't seat us until all of our party arrive so we sat at the bar. Honestly I felt as though we could have been sat seeing as how it was pretty empty but rules are rules I guess. While at the bar we ordered our drinks which were made pretty well. It's usually hard to get a good Mai Tai and the bartender did not disappoint. Once we were able to be seated we enjoyed the all you can eat buffet along with the unlimited choice of meats and veggies. Heads up, you will need to cook your own meats and veggies. The waitress comes around every so often but we the majority of the work is on you so don't let your food burn (we did at least once smh). They will come and replace the cooking plate so that was helpful. We also tried Soju for the first time. We tried the strawberry flavor which tasted like flavored water but had a 13% or so alcohol content so beware lol. Overall I left full and happy. Our waitress was friendly and a robot came out and sang my friend happy birthday. She also got a little dessert with a candle in it. All in all I will visit again. read more

Now, if this is your kinda thing - cool. If not, read on. Firstly, this is KBBQ - meaning you have to cook for yourself. I have been to KBBQ and have had great experiences (KPOT in Kennesaw is the BEST) but Volcano isn't it. The food is incredibly bland and overpriced. Wait staff is good, but were a little slow and the manager was really rude/unprofessional when I went there last. They don't explain pricing very well and when I requested to know why lunch and dinner prices were different the manager rudely told me to "read the sign" even though there was not a sign. They will NOT be getting my business again! read more

The server was slow . The Cajun shrimp Was the best thing on the grill the lemon And black pepper chicken the grill cooked the flavor out the salad perfect will I return no thanks it's a nice establishment though read more

The server was great. The food is usually so good . However , this time we found a hair in our food . Apparently , we found the hair too late so we were discounted about 5.00$ because " he should have found the hair sooner ". I'm not sure who would ever think to find hair in their food . I think it's reasonable to believe that the food would be hair free . The manager handled that poorly and she knew it was unfair . She said they would remove the " entire meal " and decided to discount last minute . Thankful for the awesome server . read more

My husband and I had dinner here with a couple of friends. It has recently opened and I think they're still working some things out so I want to give grace in this review. The staff were nice and attentive but our waitress had a hard time answering a few questions we had about the menu and ingredients used. The four of us are foodies and had some specific questions about the food as we made our meat/seafood choices for hot pot and Korean BBQ. I assume she had not been there long enough to know how certain things were made/prepared. No big deal. I ordered scallops to go in my hot pot and there was a very obvious hair in the bowl. I didn't mention this to the server because she seemed busy and overwhelmed and didn't want to add one more thing for her to deal with. I just didn't eat it. The broth (Tom Yum for three of us, chicken broth for the other one) was bland and desperately needed seasoning. The bulgogi was delicious. The vegetables seemed fresh. The atmosphere was fun and there is a lot going on. There are screens everywhere playing sports games, robots carrying boba, flashing lights, a high level of noise. If you're looking for a lively place this is a good spot. If you're a quiet introvert like me, you may be a bit overwhelmed. Overall the experience was good. We'll give them some time to make improvements and come back in a few months. read more

Do your research, I wish I had before coming. We came on a Saturday afternoon, fyi no lunch menu, dinner price all day. Food was okay the service was good until it came time for the check. The issue was my two kids (13 & 14) initially wanted the bbq and the hot pot ($40 a person). l just got the bbq($35 a person). Which is what I told the waiter when we sat down. They got the hot pot first and got full. They did not touch the grill which the waiter knew as he was constantly checking on us. I told the waiter they did not touch the grill... he basically said it is too late to change the check. When I asked to speak to the manager he also said they could not change the bill and no refunds "I can do a $5 gift receipt/card to write a review using the QR code at the table"... seriously! So I paid $80 for 2 bowls of ramen. I would have been fine to pay the money if they ate both the hot pot and the bbq, but they didn't and was charged/paid for it anyway. Just be careful y'all. *I did not use the QR code to write this review. read more

Fine experience, very nice inside but food wasn't my thing. I don't think it was bad because my girlfriend enjoyed it fine, just think it wasn't my taste. Our server was very energetic and super friendly, and the cook that made our hibachi was also fairly energetic, food just wasn't good at all in my opinion. read more

The place is nice. The atmosphere is good. It's $35 a person. I wasn't a big fan of the food. It's not bad but it's not amazing. It's worth checking out. read more

It started a little shaky, me and my date were seated after a 15-20 minute wait. We left the table to go and get food from the bar, while getting our food the hostess gave our table to someone else. If it had not been for the manager on duty ensuring we were quickly taken to a new table, this would have been a less than favorable experience. I will say the staff was attentive in explaining the process. I will go back with my family so we can experience it together. read more

1 STAR UPDATE!!! AFTER OUR TRANSACTION OF AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE! We left 0 tip slashing the area!!!! But somehow they deducted 20.00 for tip!!! WHAT IN THE ACTUAL effff!!!!! yes we are disputing this transaction but please be WARNED!!! The service was fine. Considering the wait time was overwhelming, within the hour of when we sat, we were only served 1 plate of our Korean bbq order. The music wasn't as loud, we hear more baby crying and people business as they sat near us which we were seated at the far end under the tv screens. It seems to be under staffed and unorganized in my opinion. We didn't stay to wait, we respectfully paid a bill of $75 for 2. Leaving with only one plate of brisket that was only enough serving for 1. We will not be returning at all. I would suggest to have a better training system to organize and serve the guest. There was a self service bonchon area also... not our thing but we gave it a try. We prefer K-pop bbq for faster and consistency service. Sorry not sorry. By the way, our grill kept going off and on. I don't recommend this place. read more

Food is ok we had the hot pot and BBQ ! Service was good we had an excellent waitress. I was not impressed with any of the food. The bar food was not hot and was ok at best ! For me the food was not worth the price ! Over all it's a nice place but for us the it just didn't meet our expectations! read more

I feel like I've been taken advantage of, to say the least. Mediocre food that I practically cooked myself over a hot plate at my table. Server was good, not the best but that's okay. Chalked it up to an experience and walked away. Will not patronize this establishment again. If you want to throw money away, this is the place to go... over priced and you can't take any uneaten food with you when you go, they charge $13.99/lb of uneaten food to preserve "food waste". What kind of garbage is that? READ THE SMALL PRINT BEFORE YOU ORDER! read more

Go somewhere else... we were excited to not have to make the 45 min drive to our fav ayce, but will happily do so from now on Brand new restaurant and it took us 58 minutes to get food that was ready to eat. 45 minutes for the server to get a manager who then got the owner to collectively figure out the grill was broken after he dropped meat on it 20 minutes prior and just left. Broth's taste watered down, meats are portioned super small, you get random things because servers are too busy twirling their pigtails and on their phones. We asked for a booster seat 6 times to 4 different people and ended up finding a high chair after 30 minutes of waiting. Management who could care less about their staff walking around on their phones and snacking while working. Not sure why it took so long to open, but it wasn't for staff training... read more

Food is awesome. About as close to genuine Korean as you can get. I spent 6 years over there. It's legit. The service is kind, courteous and attentive. Third time there since the opening. The banchan could be a little better. The restaurant is clean and hip. read more

I cannot say enough good about this place! There was a wait to be seated but the wait was not long at all -- maybe 10 minutes. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. My waitress, Makayla, was attentive and checked on me often. The "perfect manhattan" cocktail was delish! The manager, Asep, was checking on tables constantly and was very friendly and welcoming as well. I had hot pot tonight. The choices of protein, veggies, soup base and noodles was good. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Nice atmosphere -- and fun music. Perfect place to go on a cold winter night to relax, enjoy and have awesome food. read more

food was great, service was great. i am surprised reading other comments about the lack of understanding about a korean bbq. they bring you the meats and grilling vegies. you do the cooking, and get your own sauces, as well as any sides you want from the buffet bar. the only thing i find lacking is lack of sushi at the buffet. other than that it is great, as i do not have to drive to kennesaw to go to a korean bbq or brazil bbq. read more

Definitely would not recommend the BBQ side, steak and sushi for the win.. Spent $200 for 4 people, wasn't the best taste. Server didn't tell us anything! No seasonings, had to get sauces your self. $30 tip for "gratuity". Ambiance was clean and good, but could have refreshed the bar. Food was a little dry at the bar as well.. read more

food was not even that good and it was 256.74 for five of us they charge a tax for service if it's over five people even if all they did was wheel the cart to you for food that isn't seasoned they charge per table so if only one person wants hotpot the whole table pays for it too much fine print and the waiter could've used a breath mint my advice is don't go. but they play kpop so that's why they get one star read more

Loved this place! Not as authentic as other Korean BBQ. It was a fun place to visit and introduce my parents to Korean BBQ.

It was really good but couldn't eat it all. We couldn't take it with us and that sucked because it seemed like it would be a waste of $45 to not be able to bring it with us. An extra $13.99 for a container to take to go. read more
