We enjoy coming to Volcanic Sushi because they have provided us with good service and tasty food while also allowing us to enjoy the outdoor seating. They have a nice outdoor area, and the staff do a good job bringing appetizers early before your main course, as well as keeping on top of drinks. There are a lot of choices for sushi in the Gainesville area, but Volcanic Sushi does well to make a good name for itself. I recommend this place to others, and we have even enjoyed several dinners here with friends, and I'm sure we'll enjoy more to come!
One of my favorite sushi places with a variety of non-sushi options. Caroline bites are our favorite appetizer, give them a shot! They also have an outdoor (covered) eating area. We eat here fairly often since they moved to their new location. Every time we've gone to eat in the patio area we've had a wonderful experience and we recommend it to the everyone!
There was an employee who takes orders there and I've visited twice so far. She doesn't wear her name tag (everyone else had theirs on) which is utterly unprofessional and awkward, and I saw her being absolutely rude to someone who seemed to be picking up an order. She was rude when the person was simply asking small questions about food. She mentioned a job so I assume she was talking to someone who was doing deliveries. She said the person could quit the job they have and come work at this restaurant because she can hire them, which is honestly a bad insult. She was absolutely unprofessional and rude. Immature. If her manager was there, honestly she probably would've been fired. She went as far as to tell the person to go back there and help them cook if she wants them to go faster, and accused them of disliking the job they're having to do. I will never visit this restaurant again, and I will personally file a report if I have to. This woman does not deserve to work there if she's going to treat the people she serves so harshly and rudely. That's the opposite of customer service, it's jail treatment.
Such amazing sushi! Comparable to the 5 star sushi places I’ve visited! Service was wonderful and the gm even listened to my story and wrote my YouTube channel on the plate! Follow me!
If you know me, you know I adore Volcanic Sushi and Sake. However, my boyfriend and I have always gone to the other location. But we decided to take a stab at this one. The location is in the cutest plaza and has a great ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. We both opted for the lunch combos, a GREAT bang for your buck. I got the combo #5, which was 13 or so dollars for 3 rolls, 6 pieces each (pictured). A normal roll will be costing around the same amount depending on your choice, so the lunch combos, while limited roll options, are the way to go. We got our green tea cheesecake to go this time. Highly recommend!
My two teenage daughters stopped in to order boba tea for takeout. The cashier charged them $15 and their tea was terrible and we had to throw both drinks away. The cashier should be ashamed of himself!
I love sushi and this is the best location!! Sat outside and what I ordered was so good, I'm going back!!!!
I visited Volcanic last night. I had an incredible meal. The service was on point. I already have recommended to my friends and will return next time I'm in town. 5 out of 5 for sure!
We ordered off GrubHub for pick up and were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait by the app. When we arrived to pick up our food the woman at the register was very kind and apologetic and said that it was supposed to be a 40 minute wait time. I don't even remember how long we actually ended up waiting because the woman was just so amazing at her job that it didn't even matter. She checked on us multiple times and really made us feel like she cared that we had to wait. We ordered 6 sushi rolls and a bunch of appetizers. The food was amazing, but the service was top notch.
Awful service. Rip off price.Drove all the way from downtown Gainesville to try a new place. Absolutely awful service. It’s like they were trying to save money by cutting all the sushi SUPER thin but charging premium prices. The salmon nigiri was paper thin. My partner got massago nigiri and they filled the seaweed cup less than half way. We were even planning to ordered more food if the server would have just came to check on us one time but that didn’t happen. Waited another 10 minutes trying to flag down our server for the check. Definitely not coming back here.
