"First time visiting this restaurant was a pleasant surprise, although I was disappointed to find out about the price increase. The new special is now $25, with additional toppings costing $5, up from the former $3.50. The pizza sauce is obviously homemade and can vary in spiciness, so next time I will ask for a brighter red sauce. The ingredients were very good and fresh. I could only eat one slice and my mother had half a slice for dinner! Forget about the stale pizzas from Pizza Hut and Dominos, and instead opt for all-natural, locally-owned, family-operated pizza places. Buying from and supporting small independent businesses is important. I'll definitely be coming back here again."

"We stopped for lunch on our way through town on a long car trip. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere transporting, the food and service excellent absolutely outstanding experience! Highly recommended for devotees of the Mediterranean diet, plenty of vegetarian options. Chill vibe, interesting and varied menu, world class hospitality. We ordered too much food (intentionally) and took leftovers home to Cincinnati to enjoy tasty echoes of our memorable lunch. The börekler"

"I thought maybe the sushi would redeem the meal, so I waited. And waited. I watched other patrons receive their meals while I sat there for an agonizing forty-five minutes. By that time, I had finished a beer, which at least arrived in a timely manner. When my food finally arrived, the staff apologized for the delay. I was eager to see what they had spent so much time preparing. The rolls were average-sized, but there was noticeably more rice than fish. The tuna and salmon rolls were just that—plain tuna and salmon with no avocado or cucumber to add some freshness. I enjoy raw fish, but the quality of the fish itself wasn’t great; I only liked one of the three rolls. It's a favorite spot for some of my friends, so perhaps I’ll give it another try in the future."

"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."

"I visit this place occasionally for drinks and some delicious food. The menu is quite accommodating for vegetarians, and their selection of craft beers has consistently been excellent. The bartender, Raven, is one of the nicest servers I’ve ever encountered. I highly recommend it!"
