Food was great as always, can't beat the lunch price for AYCE Sushi! I do recommend arriving early on weekends because this place is no secret, and you will probably have a wait to be seated, plus food can take awhile to come from the kitchen during peak hours when they are crowded... But if you aren't in a rush it's worth it!

Parking: Parking is behind the store front on the other side of the building.

We were blown away by the quality of our takeout from Volcano! We placed a massive order, and not only was everything made correctly, but it was all incredibly fresh and delicious. It's rare to get such accuracy and quality with a large takeout order. We'll definitely be ordering again!

I became violently ill after eating here. The fish tasted wrong so I didn’t finish. Had an amazing server but I won’t be coming back to this place ever again. Wasn’t worth the hell it put me through

Many years coming here. Nearly perfect record of quality and service being spot-on, which in turn makes the price point very impressive. Sushi is fresh and never ever pre-made. At this price point for all-you-can-eat, they manage to pull it off, successfully, for years. Naturally, as an all-you-can-eat, it would be impossible to offer higher end elements like premium seafood, but the quality is the same standard fresh grade fish/seafood that you would get at 90% of à la carte sushi restaurants.

I like to read the other reviews, particularly the complaints, to see if I missed anything and found a few that don’t make a lot of sense. For example, I can’t imagine complaining that the portion sizes are too small or get smaller if you can order all you want as often as you want. Another read that someone mentioned 2 different hairs in their food. That is certainly unfortunate, but that can happen anywhere, and in the many times I’ve been there I can only vouch for myself that I’ve never seen that happen and of the Sushi chefs where they required hats or baseball caps, though I noted that someone complained that they were wearing a baseball cap versus some other style, and gave them a 2 because of it, go figure. And another review around service, certainly it can get busy, but I’ve never had an instance where the waiter didn’t come running back when they saw me do a taxi wave to call them over. Naturally, I could’ve just sat there without calling over the waiter, brooding at how long they were taking to return, if I wanted to create something to complain about. And what’s the rush anyway? They have plenty of food back there don’t worry.

2025 update: We still come here. CC is so nice, and so is Mina. Get the tuna martini!

October 2021 update: We hadn't been in since but decided to give it a shot. It's beautiful and clean, the restaurant got a nice change after the fire, and everything is so fresh and good. They take an hour between 330 and 430 to sanitize everything before dinner starts too!

The host saw I was an...ample bodied customer and made sure I was perfectly comfortable in their booths too.

2020: Update: They had a fire (no one was hurt I believe) and had to shut down for awhile. But upon reopening, the quality was back! It was SO good. Though I'm not sure how they are working right now with the shut downs.

2019: The last two times we've gone there, most of our party has gotten sick. We no longer go there. We went when they first opened and it is sad to watch the quality go so far downhill so fast.

DO NOT EAT HERE. There was hair in my
gyoza sauce and he tried to say he’ll get me a replacement after i already ate the whole dish that had the hair in it. My friend also ordered fried soft shell crab and it also had hair it in. I have been finding reviews about this place saying that there has been maggots, flies, and hair in other people’s food. The way the boss handled it was unprofessional and rude. He still tried to charge us the full amount saying we chose to eat. As if it’s not a restaurant? If you want a nice sushi experience, when you see their restaurant sign just keep walking and find a different cuisine.

The service was just awful. We found hair in our food TWICE. In two separate dishes. We observed the staff lack full knowledge of food safety violations. This place is filthy . Don’t come. Don’t try. Save your self. My stomach is all ready on one.

This is my FIRST and LAST time trying sushi from here. If you know what’s good for you, don’t dine-in here. I have never tried sushi for the first time until now, the staff are rude and the quality of the food is completely below average, finding hair in my food, and food not being cooked properly. save your money and time, 10/10 would NOT recommend.
