"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."

"First of all, we had reservations but still had to wait over an hour before we could place our orders for salads, soups, and entrees. While the chef did provide great service and was accurate with our meals, the overall dining experience left much to be desired. The restaurant could definitely benefit from some renovations and a deep clean. The service was lacking; although no one was rude, it didn't justify the high price of the dinner. The food itself was just average hibachi—nothing special. I ordered chicken hibachi, while my husband opted for steak and shrimp. We also tried the in-house sushi that we saw being prepared as we walked in, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. It tasted very dry, and the fish didn't seem fresh at all. Additionally, my husband ordered an appetizer that never arrived. While they did remove it from our bill, the staff didn't seem to show any concern about the service issue. The employees appeared tired and indifferent to the long waits we experienced. There was a noticeable lack of urgency among the staff. The hibachi chefs were the only ones moving quickly, going from table to table, but that was about it. After we received our checks, an elderly lady frantically came around asking if anyone needed refills on our very watered-down drinks. Overall, I can confidently say I would not return to this restaurant. I could easily get fast food of equal quality at a fraction of the price. I'm definitely disappointed, but I believe the reviews I read were spot on."
