Volcano Japanese Restaurant

The food and lunch specials here are the bomb!! You cannot get 3 rolls of sushi anywhere for $14.95 these days. I really enjoyed the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and Philly roll! Lavender boba tea was awesome too! If I worked close by, I’d probably come here every day!

You’re stuck in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, a small town that’s mostly known for its universities and hospitals. Let’s be honest: it’s not exactly a culinary hotspot. As your stomach grumbles, you brace yourself for yet another meal that’s just meets the edible variety.

But then, while aimlessly scrolling through Google, you stumble upon a place called Volcano Japanese Restaurant. Your initial thought? It’s probably as exciting as a sushi spot in West Virginia could be? Right? WRONG.

Upon arrival, you step inside, and suddenly, it’s like you’ve been teleported to Legitsville, West Virginia. Population: you.

The menu is a treasure map of sushi delights, authentic Japanese dishes, and intriguing drinks. Feeling adventurous, you order the Spider-Man 3 roll, fully expecting some cheesy, gimmicky sushi experience. Instead, what arrives is a giant masterpiece of crab meat, tempura shrimp, and other flavors so divine that you consider composing a haiku on the spot.

Eager for more, you decide to leave some room for a second course and opt for the chicken teriyaki with rice. The portion is just right, and the flavors? Think blended, voluptuous, and savory.

As you glance over at the next table, you spot diners receiving their order on what looks like a miniature carved bridge covered in sushi rolls. That’s when you realize you’ve discovered a true culinary gem, a hole-in-the-wall that’s actually a 5 out of 5 sushi palace. A spot you will be coming back to and raving to the homies about.

The service? Top-notch. The waitress was so attentive, it was as if she could read your mind. The prices are shockingly reasonable for such high-quality food and an atmosphere that feels like a mini-vacation to Japan.

So, if you’re currently lost in the void of Google searches, desperately seeking your next meal, stop everything. Make your way to Volcano Japanese Restaurant, and prepare for a dining experience that’s nothing short of explosive.

We visited for lunch and got the Bento box special. What a bargain! The service was great and we enjoyed our food. We were visiting from out of town for a major competition at WVU and we were pleased to find this gem.

I went alone for lunch with my 7 month old today. As babies do, my kid was fussy and wanted to be held and bounced. Seeing that I was unable to eat, staff Tracy and Amy took the baby and held him while I ate my food. Their kindness means a lot to me and I am sure other mothers who have gone out alone with their babies to restaurants.I have always loved the food at the restaurant. Today, I tried something different- seafood udon and now it is my new fav at this restaurant. Subtle flavors but my bowl was packed with different fillings and types of fish.One of my favorite restaurants in Morgantown. Love the food and the owners.Amirah

Dietary restrictions: Non meat options. The seafood udon was made of fish broth- no meat.

We got take out right before they closed and they were the sweetest, accommodating to us as we picked it up. Even though they were basically closed they gave us extra food and it was fresh and amazing couldn’t recommend enough.

The environment seemed very friendly, the waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. The food is worth the price. The portions are a good size and are delicious. I had the SpiderMan, and Dream special sushi rolls and they were very delicious in my opinion.
