Very delicious. Huge selection of things. I don't love that the whole table has to choose the same soup or BBQ choice but I understand it. Very happy that our visit was great.

This place is definitely our go to when we're in Albany; besides their technical issues with the iPad, everything went fine. The service was fast and the food was really good like always.

The food was really great! Lots of options and you can do both bbq and hotpot for an additional charge which is not bad at all. The service was AMAZING. They made sure everything was good and going well. The vibe too was really great. Overall experience was a 10/10!

Volcano is located in a plaza, so parking was a breeze! Upon walking in each table has their own bbq and the option of having hot pot too. It's nice that everyone has their own individual broth, so there could be a variety within the group! The downside is that the whole table has to choose if they want the option of doing both or not, but for $5 more, it was worth it! The iPad menu they have for ordering was a breeze to use, and the food came out so quick! They also change the bbq grate very frequent, you could tell they keep an eye on it and do not want you to burn any food due to things sticking. The soft drinks are also unlimited and located in a cooler. You also have the option of making and choosing the different side sauces near the back wall. We ended with ice cream as the dessert, which was also included in the price. This was a great find, highly recommend!

SO and I have gone to this restaurant a few times. It has the AYCE feature, but in this case, a lot of that food is either going to the (self) BBQ grill or into a flavorful steamy broth, right at your table. BBQ is a great way to eat food. And for those who like hotpot, thats available too. Can't decide? Get both by just adding it. Can't decide on chicken? Beef? Seafood? Get them all. Vegetables are plentiful. Did you want noodles? They have them too. There is also an small area to get the salads and sauces for your meals. It truly is a win win place to go. Ample parking. Staff bring the raw product to the table as long as you keep ordering. Beverages are included in the price. Fun atmosphere.

I love KBBQ and Hot pot! I was so excited when a new spot that offered both was opening locally, and it's more affordable than other local options. I will come back again and again. The place is stunning. Modern and bright, a great place for a date night or girls night out. We were seated and explained the menu. The set ups were really nice. First thing to do was select a hot pot broth. I played it super simple with a miso broth, but next time I'll go spicy. We then placed out first order on the tablet, and then headed over to the self serve sauce station. With a bunch of different sauces available, your options are endless on the sauces you can build. Sweet, spicy, savory, peanut, sesame, so many options! One thing I found interesting was the self serve can soda and bottle water. It seems wasteful, but maybe they have their own reason for not having draft line. I was a little disappointed they were out of sake that night, so I went with wine and a bottle of water. By the time we returned to our table, the meats and sides were piling up. ready to grill or drop in the soup. We ordered a bunch of beef, lamb, seafood, ready to eat apps, veggies, etc. Some of my favorites were the Cubed Ribeye, Bulgogi, Spare Ribs, Clams and the ready to eat apps were great too! I cant wait to go back and try more things, maybe with a larger group. We ordered a few rounds of food for the hot pot and BBQ, the grill was changed out as needed, the hot pot was refilled as well. You were equipped with a spray bottle of oil for the grill, and you were also given a remote to control the heat on the hot pot. It was all so fun to play around, trying different things! I will be back! Its a unique dining experience, fun and perfect for celebrating. Come hungry, its all you can eat!

Came here for my husband's birthday and had a blast! Staff was informative with how it worked and how to order on the iPad. Interactive and fun! Love the decor as well..lots of neon signs and it looks very modern. Note: you will smell like cooked meat when you leave, it's unavoidable.

Didn't expect to see a Hotpot place in Niskayuna, but here we are. Saw reviews on Yelp and we decided to visit. Went for dinner on a weeknight. Place was busier than I expected but we were seated right away. Server was excellent and she explained how this works. I sat through it just in case there was something specific to this place. Decided to get both the BBQ grill option and the Hotpot too for only $5 extra per person. Decided on the original broth. It was too mild for my taste. Significant other went with the medium spiced broth, which she found a bit more spicy than she expected. Select meats and veggies from an iPad. Menu and selection process on the iPad was intuitive. I did see some paper menus too so that's an option for people that prefer paper option? Food arrived very quickly. Food was of excellent quality, and where seasoning and marinate was called for it was properly done. There is a large (for around here) sauce bar so you can pick up your own condiments. Very nice. Server was attentive. Swapped out grill plate when it started to get charred. Additional orders were quickly filled. Impressed with service speed and attention to details. Had a really good time. Place has a nice ambiance. Large screen serves as wall displayed sceneries of videos from across the world. I probably overate as this is an AYCE setup. Skipped desserts because of that. Non alcoholic drinks are including the price and is self serve out of a cooler refrigerator. Well return and try other menu items. Fun place to eat.

Several of us had waited patiently for them to open after months of promotion, so we were excited to finally make it after a grand opening little over a month ago. Apparently no reservation was needed for the four of us, and we had no trouble getting a table on a recent Saturday for dinner. The decor certainly set the mood the moment we walked in, and although there was a lot going on everywhere we looked (shooting starts on the ceiling?!), I was personally glad that their lighting was just right so that it wasn't neither blinding nor inadequate. The waitstaff was perfectly attentive and patient which was refreshing, and the ordering via iPad was efficient once we got the hang of the pace. Several highlights from our BBQ dinner: + The meats were good quality and we enjoyed most of them, especially salmon, beef bulgogi, marinated pork belly, and short rib. + I love that each person gets their own tongs - a nice touch! + The self-service station with sauces, sides, desserts, and a drinks fridge is perfectly suitable, and I particularly enjoyed their cucumber kimchi and radish. + AYCE Lettuce. This excites me as much as AYCE meats. + Their veggie selection is solid, and we loved the classics like mushrooms and onions. The two things that left me with questions are (1) the use of bottled water vs the typical water jug with cups, if only because of my concerns about use of plastic that could easily be minimised, and (2) lack of blinds because two of us in the group had the sun on us and had to have our hands up to block it out for a long while, which was an inconvenience. We were told that they had ordered the blinds, so I hope this is addressed for future visits. This was all in all a great introduction, and the place was packed by the time we left. I welcome Volcano to the neighbourhood. We can't wait to go back for their hot pot.
