Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ - Owings Mills, Maryland

Menka Q

The modern and clean decor, combined with the attentive service, surely set a positive tone for our meal. The server took the time to explain the hot pot barbecue, making it more accessible and enjoyable. There was a diverse selection of seafood like shrimp, scallops, and crab legs, along with a tempting array of desserts including cheesecake and ice cream. The only downside was the loud music, which was a bit overwhelming for an afternoon setting.

The moment I stepped foot into this establishment I was blown back at how amazing the atmosphere was. This place looks so modern, clean, and just overall amazing. The service deserves a 11/10. Servers kept checking on us constantly, making sure everything was good at our table. The food and sauce bar was also really good; highly recommend the house sauce here. Honestly, if I could give a 6 star review I would. Definitely will be coming back!

Had a great server for our first time here, she answered all of our questions and even showed us around the buffet. They offer several options for meats, vegetables, and even noodles. Our grill was constantly changed and oiled for us and our drinks were always refilled. The only thing I would complain about is that the booths move and it threw my off guard when I sat down the first time because I assumed they were attached to the floor. Also the crepe cake was still frozen so it wasn’t super appetizing, we got here as soon as they opened so if you arrived later it should be fine.

We visited as a group of four on Saturday. Since this is a new restaurant with fresh staff, it’s understandable that they’re still finding their rhythm, especially on a busy weekend night.

That said, the atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout our visit.

We really appreciated that it’s BYOB, which made the experience even better.

In terms of value, the food options were excellent and comparable to Iron Age in Catonsville—if not better. My spouse and I actually thought the flavors were superior, and the variety of meats available was impressive.

There were no issues with food running out or portions being too small, which was a plus. I also liked the self-serve setup, but one improvement could be providing hand sanitizer since many guests handle the tongs and food utensils. Additionally, it can be a bit tricky to access plates and bowls when the food area gets crowded since they’re stored under the counter.

I noticed some one-star reviews mentioning racism and poor treatment, but I didn’t experience anything like that. During our visit, there was a diverse crowd, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Very beautiful interior design, they had a special fire thing that was displayed and was very pretty. The prices were very good for the food and the food was delicious. The service here were very helpful when it came to navigating through the restaurant. Overall a very good place and I highly recommend it.

I had a great experience at a hotpot restaurant with a buffet-style option. The manager greeted us warmly and helped guide us through the process since it was our first time. The buffet allowed us to pick fresh ingredients like meats, seafood, and vegetables whenever we wanted, making the meal more interactive and fun. The manager’s friendly service and dipping sauce recommendations added to the enjoyable experience. Not having to wait for food made it even better. Overall, it was a relaxed and flexible dining experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back!
