Volcano Grille

Consistently delicious, bento boxes and bowls are terrific. Fresh and tender chicken/​beef/​shrimp! The grilled rice is terrific, and it is nice to get the brown rice when I want to opt for a healthier choice. Home made sauces omg. Try the Fuju-​yummy and mix it with the magma — holy cow! (C’mon people, 1 or 2 (not 5) rammikins of sauce per order or why not offer to pay more, yeesh!).
Volcano Grille is delicious, clean and the owners at the grill ensure meticulous attention to details that many don’t bother with. Sweet servers, great location, 6 stars!

Always a good idea when you want something light but filling. Taste is always awesome and consistent.

I am giving them only 4 stars because the food is amazing and the service is fine but the worst thing is that EVERY 5 min they come and ask you if you done and they can take your plate, you see half of my bowl full so why to ask? And then after another 4 min she ask again, come on you see that I have food in plate can’t take a break and be with my phone? Sorry that I am not eating fast! It’s kind of a bothering to ask you 3 – 4 times if you done and they can take the plate –very annoying and disrespectful

I frickin love this place for a whole variety of reasons. 1. The food is always great. 2. The staff is always amazing and even better accommodating. (I always special order without issue) 3. The atmosphere is nice for either a quiet meal or even a business lunch. 4. It is located off the highway for easy access.
FYI I was there when the «service animal» incident occurred and I would dispute that the staff were smirking or rude or giving the third degree, in fact they were trying to be accommodating to all of their guests, I for one don’t want animals around me when I am eating, I am sorry but it is the way I feel and is my opinion, I don’t want animal hair flying in my food. I am always a fair and maybe even a little harsh in my reviews but I think these reviews border on lies, I was there and witnessed it.

Absolutely loved it! Will be returning for sure! So worth it! You get your protein veggies and carb all in one meal.

Lol This is the first time I have ever Unilocaled.
But after reading those 2 comments of the 1 Star reviews. I felt like I needed to throw Volcano Grille a bone. Those people obviously believe in the Chicago saying «vote early, vote often» because guarantee’d that is the same person.
So. Obviously, this isnt a 5 star restaurant. But there is no better food that you can buy in all of Las Vegas for $ 12 or less than the Big Bento box. When you get the gyoza and noodles. and any of their meats. They are so fresh, so delicious, their sauces are just so amazing. Every single time I do business in mountains edge, I always make it a point to eat here, and wish that they had one in the Silverado Ranch area. Delicious, Nutritious. Excellent workout food. 5 star.

For something quick to go this is great. I’ve actually been craving it a lot lately. My only issue is how they do their price structure. They advertise a big Bento box for a certain price but the only options is veggies tofu or chicken. So if you want the good stuff like beef or shrimp add on an extra five dollars. For me the beef is worth it very tender. I have had a few times where the bigger pieces of beef are almost rare though… Obviously this still haven’t stopped me from going in there! Oh ya don’t get me started on all those yummy sauces

UPDATE: Although this was one of my favorite places to eat, I visited Volcano Grille yesterday and brought 3 new customers with me. Evidently, the manager and staff are misinformed on laws pertaining to service animals. I have a physical disability in which I require a service animal. I was asked for my service dog’s ID, which violates the American Disabilities Act. When I spoke with the manager and showed her the laws pertaining to the ADA, she then told me it would be okay that I stayed but would need to sit away from any other patrons. Isolation from other patrons is another violation of the ADA.
It has been extremely difficult in the past 3 years adjusting to a new life having CRPS, the most painful condition ever recorded, but feeling as if I am being discriminated against because of it just adds to the difficulties. Needless to say, I won’t be returning to Volcano Grille.

Love love love this place. Being vegetarian it’s not always easy finding quick, tasty grub. I have been getting the bento box with grilled tofu. (something I normally don’t like) all the tastes are amazing. I love that they have a boatload of sauces to choose from as well. Do yourself and favor and try this tasty joint!

Wonderful food and incredible staff!
This will be on my list of restaurants to return to… highly recommend it!

I’ve started to crave this place 2 – 3 times a week consistently lately. I found it on Unilocal and it wasn’t too far so I decided to give it a try one day for lunch– now I frequent here and bring friends who always end up loving it also. I always get the Big Bento with Chicken and Angus Beef, grilled Japanese rice (essentially fried rice) and yakisoba noodles (essentially chow mein noodles). So so so good! They all come with small cucumbers and an orange peel which ties in a nice, refreshing flavor.
It is a little pricey, especially if you upgrade the proteins at all (The Angus beef is an extra $ 2.50 I believe) so it ends up being around $ 15. It’s a good portion of food though and the quality seems excellent so I think it’s worth it.
& yes– the sauce bar is awesome! I’m a simple girl so I enjoy the spicy teriyaki sauce most, but there are several fun options to choose from.
Just a heads up– they close at 8 pm sharp– even on weekend nights.

A-​mmm-​azing food. Everything had really good flavoring even without the extra sauces that are available. Very decent amount of food for the price. I especially loved adding the hot magma sauce to my chicken, shrimp and rice. Good music too!

Been here a fair amount of times. I usually call in a to-​go order after work. I have yet to actually eat here at the establishment but it doesn’t really matter.
I recommend the Bento Box $ 10.49. You get 2 items and 2 sides. There’s a decent amount to choose from, although, most of the items you have to pay a little extra (such as the Certified Angus Beef +$ 2.15, Shrimp +$ 2.35, Premium Salmon +$ 2.99, Shrimp Tempura +$ 1.15). The ones that come at just the bento box are chicken breast, tofu, and grilled vegetables. So most of the stuff are at a little extra charge. I usually get the beef and tofu. Tofu isn’t what I expected but still enjoyable nonetheless. The portion for the beef is very small so just a heads up.
In terms of sides, I usually get white japanese rice and grilled veggies. The gyoza in particular is better than expected, so definitely recommend that.
If you don’t want the bento box, they also have the $ 7.99 bowl which gives you 1 choice of protein, and either 1 rice or noodle. I have yet to get that since I prefer the bento box but this is a great option if you’re not as hungry.
Service is great. You only interact with the one cashier pretty much and they’ve always been friendly to me.

Really great food. The beef was cooked to perfection as was the veggies. The noodles didn’t have great texture like they were pre packaged but still good. All in all I love this place but can’t see myself eating there often it’s too pricey to go by myself often and because you order at the counter I can’t see ever taking a date there. Maybe a gf but not a date. It’s in a weird category. Great food, expensive, yet not really a sit down restaurant.

Seriously, when they say be there at noon, GET THERE AT NOON!
The line started right after my group and I got there, and I can see why. I got the bento box (not the big bento box) with chicken, veggies and noodles. My only con was that the noodles were a tad dry, but they have a sauce bar!!! Even for being the «smaller» bento box, it was still a great portion size and very filling. Loved every part from the chicken to the salad and veggies and noodles.
Rey the chili teriyaki sauce as well the yum yum sauce (even the volcano yum yum isn’t that spicy and great with veggies!). Also, they were pretty fast so ideal for a quick lunch spot.

I love the food here! The ingredients are fresh, service is good, price is reasonable, and ambiance is fun! I love all the sauces to choose from to top your food with. I live that you can take sauce with you to go, I always find something at home to mix the sauce with. I wish I could buy it in bulk hHah! Yummy yummy!

Just ate here for the first time tonight and it shall be my last. I don’t know what they’re doing in the kitchen but coating the food in salt and a pepper is not a way to compensate for lack of taste. I will not be returning, it was terrible.

The food is amazing, came here to get s steak and shrimp bento box and a kids bowl, kids loved it, sauces are great, this reminds me of a hibachi to go style restaurant… Love it will return the only thing I was confused about it it says 10.49 for a 2 protien 2 sides and my meal came out to 15 but she said its cause I got shrimp and steak but either way I paid under 25 for 2 great meals kids being 4.99 with a drink, also no drink included in meal fyi

TOFU! Did I say Tofu? LOL I usually get the bento and I used to get it with chicken, but me love tofu long time! If you havent gone here, its a must try!
The sauce bar is amazing! So many sauces to choose from. The salad and their dressing is also delish!
I had the steak but it was a little tough, so tofu it is! OHHH and they are open on Sundays now.

I’ve heard so mush about bento boxes but hadn’t tried them yet. I saw an advertisement for volcano grille. I just had to try it. I don’t think I did it right. They mentioned sauces but I didn’t try any of them. The food unadorned was really good. I’ll come back sometime and try the many sauces.

I came here for a family dinner! The food was tasty, but it was definitely a fast food Japanese style restaurant. It was hibachi style and I think it would be perfect for a quick lunch during a work break. The girl who took our order was really nice. If I come back, I’ll try the dessert!

Awesome little spot! Healthy choices for post workout meal. This is probably gonna be my new post work out spot since it’s in between my place and LVAC. Love the employees also, they’re very helpful and as soon as I came in, they all have a big smile on their face. It’s very affordable also. Must try, especially if you’re trying to eat clean!

I have been wanting to try Volcano Grille ever since they moved to this location and finally did yesterday for lunch. Went in and saw only 3 other people (around 12:30) in there and decided to have it to go. I ordered the big bento with two protein (beef and shrimp) and two sides (fried rice and yakisoba), everything had a lot of black pepper in it. The beef and shrimp were both extra charge on top of the base $ 10+ for the «Big Bento». I could only see that chicken did not have any extra costs to it but salmon and poke both having to pay extra for also. Why all the extra charge for their protein items, I don’t get it. The food was okay but very bland. The only thing that really stood out was their use of black pepper in all the food I had (beef, shrimp, fried rice, and yakisoba)
My lunch came out to $ 18+ with a regular drink, not crazy but did not feel it was worth it. Good thing they have all those sauces to add flavor to the food but overall I did not enjoy it. They do give you a good portion of fried rice and yakisoba, but I just did not eat it due to lack of seasoning and did not want to pour sauces over rice and noodles, ended it up wasting food. The beef was tender and the shrimps were okay but I think T. Madness right around the corner would have been a better choice.

Was there about 2 weeks ago! Food seemed to be fresh but dipping counter looked unclean! The restaurant did not se
To be too picked up! Good music nice staff ! Food was okay!

I have always LOVED Volcano Grille. I order it to go on my lunch break at least once a week. I used to always get the chicken bento box but have recently become a vegetarian and could live off of their tofu. What do they put on it? (Seriously if you are reading this and feel like divulging your secret please let me know) I have never had better tasting tofu. The portion sizes are good and I usually cant finish it all. My only complaint would be I wish they opened a little earlier because sometimes I have to take lunch at 11:30 and they don’t open until noon.
Their staff are really nice and take time to remember their repeat customers. 5 Stars, I will continue going back frequently!

Ever since they moved locations, the quality has been hit or miss, but I still enjoy their bento box. I like that you have the option to customize your box and there really isn’t anything else in the area that offers this type of menu. Service is good and they have great sauces to choose from.

Had always seen this place when I’m at Stacks and Yolks so I was more than eager to try it.
Honestly, it was really just like any other terriyaki/​hawaiin/​japanese fast food restaurant. The food wasn’t bad don’t get me wrong but nothing really stood out about it. The price however did, its actually a little bit pricey for what it is.
So there really is only 3 options on the menu but the concept of picking your own protein and side adds a little fun to the process. What I liked however was their «sauce bar». They had quite a few different sauces to pick from to add to your meats. My favorite the wasabi sauce, DELICIOUS! The sauce bar definitely made the experience different and worth the trip.

I’ve been going to this place since they were at the buffalo location! Great tasting food!
Hibachi style food at a Togo price. It’s not cheap, but with every penny you spend. I’ve had almost everything on the menu and I can’t speak negatively about anything! Wait… Yes I can! Because of how tasty their food is, everyone come here for lunch, making the lines long… But I get around that by calling ahead my order! Lol.
They have a sauce bar! Fresh sauces to select to be placed on your deliciously grilled protein! You can eat it without the sauce because the chicken comes with a garlic glaze on top!!! It’s to die for! This is my spot hands down!!! I’ve run into a few people that I haven’t seen in years… It’s the «in» place to go!!! Lol.

I have passed by Volcano Grille many times when driving on Durango, but never stopped in until recently. The day that I came here, it was very quiet. There were a few people eating their bentos outside and one other person inside the restaurant. I decided to get the Big Bento and did not realize that some of the proteins were extra charge. No big deal, but it was kind of expensive for average food. I wanted salmon and tofu, but the employee apologized and said that they were out of tofu. So I chose the beef instead, along with brown rice and spring rolls. I waited about 10 minutes for my to go order, but I didn’t mind. I like how everything is made to order, unlike places like Panda Express where you never know how long the food has been sitting out.
My food was still hot and fresh when I got home. I really liked the beef. It was tasty, cooked well and delicious! The salmon was alright. I regret not taking home some of the sauces from their sauce bar, which probably would have made it better. However, another customer was taking his sweet time at the sauce bar the entire time I was waiting for my food. I think he took one of everything, LOL. The spring rolls were bland tasting and not recommended.
Overall, customer service was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. I didn’t think the food was worth $ 16, although the beef was pretty good. I wouldn’t mind coming back to try their other options, but for the price, I can get better food elsewhere.

I was really sad to give this place 3 stars because their food is so good. I got a shrimp and chicken bento. Everything was amazing and the flavors and their sauce bar.
I had to get my food to go but I live 2 minutes away from here. However they were out of sauce on many trays so they were all watered down, my shrimp was FREEZING COLD it was inedible, their grilled vegetables and rice were cooked perfectly though.
⁹⁄₂₄ I had to change my review because 5 hours after my food (the only meal I’ve eaten that day) I’ve been throwing up non stop and running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Worst food poisoning ever. PLEASE CAREFULLY COOK YOUR STUFF. I am literally dying

Much like Fix8 Fitness Café in Henderson, this is a spot that focuses on real food prepared with flavor– bonus points for making it so easy to customize for a low-​carb diet! Food is fresh, staff is friendly, and they have a sauce bar with 10 different options to add to your dish.
The Bento Box is my go-​to, with the choice of two proteins and two sides. The chicken is far from standard here, and the ample portion has a nice grilled char to it. Even better than that is the garlic shrimp, which is well worth the surcharge– almost as good as making it myself! As for the sides: grilled veggies have good variety and I love the dressing on the side salad.
If you’re tired of cooking healthy at home, branch out and try Volcano Grille! Once you find the dish you like, it’ll be hard to resist coming back frequently. I’ll be back to try the gyoza and tofu!

Customer service was meh and the R&B playlist sounded like it belonged to some heartbroken girl but man oh man was my tofu yakisoba bowl tasty! I decided to try out Volcano Grille before a painting session at nearby Design and Dine because I wanted some REAL food that I could enjoy in peace. Plus, I’ve had this place bookmarked for a while. The extremely affordable bowl option, which includes 1 protein and 1 rice or noodle and the option of veggies, is what sealed the deal for me.
TOFU YAKISOBA BOWL W/​VEGGIES ($ 6.99): Can someone please tell me how to cook tofu like Volcano Grille? Seriously, this is some of the tastiest tofu I’ve ever had in my life (and I eat a lot of tofu). It was seasoned and cooked to a perfect texture that made it easily sliceable with a plastic fork. I loved the spread of colorful fresh veggies in the bowl — red bell peppers, broccoli, green onions, carrots, and white onions, oh my! I added a cup of spicy teriyaki sauce from the sauce bar for an extra kick. The serving size was just the right portion.
VIBE: Volcano Grille is like a more authentic version of Teriyaki Madness. Same concept though — a quick serve restaurant where you order at the counter and help yourself to fountain drinks and tableware.
Worth a Return Visit?
If I’m in the area, I would definitely eat here again.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #191

I have to admit, when I’m feeling lazy and want to order in I turn to Unilocal.pretty often these days. This restaurant is always the first to pop up and for whatever reason I always ignore it. Until last night!
I’m always looking for something convenient but healthy. I can’t believe it took me s OMG to discover this. I ordered a bento box (which is gigantic by the way) and only $ 10.Japanese grilled rice (fried rice) was so good along with gyoza. All together order time and pickup my husband was back within 15 minutes. New favorite!

Food was fresh & served up quickly. They offer a variety of delicious sauces but food was already tasty on it’s own.
Restaurant was clean. Service was excellent.
It’s located on the other side of town for me but my daughter and I will definitely be back! :)

I think people need to calm down a little bit on these reviews. I mean, Volcano Grill was alright… but nothing to lose it over.
This was my first time trying this place and I was pretty pumped for it considering all the glowing reviews.
Positives–
— That Angus beef is the shizz! Freshly cooked, tender and juicy!
— service was friendly
— Didn’t eat in, but the restaurant was small but cozy and clean
— Did I mention the Angus beef was tasty as flock!
Meh–
–I decided to try a bowl with Angus beef with Japanese brown rice with NO vegetables. Check out the pics to see what I got when I got home. Seriously, this is annoying. It was on my receipt and the girl repeated it back to me. So why do I have a bowl that is ¹⁄₃ veggies?
— honestly did not care for the rice. maybe I am spoiled by homemade jasmine rice daily (Thank you Mama!), but this tasted a bit stiff.
— Kinda pricey. I grabbed the bowl, an extra side of Angus beef, and 4 gyoza (beef pot stickers essentially) and that ran me a little north of $ 18. No drink at all, since I took it to go. Damn. I just finished all of it and I’m not even full!
–the gyoza were ok. Just ok. Not the best I’ve ever had. Not the worst I’ve ever had. Somewhere in the middle.
I really wanted to like this place, but this experience left me feeling underwhelmed. I did love the taste of the meat, but with so many other options in the area, I don’t see a return visit any time in the foreseeable future.
I considered a 2 star review, but that Angus beef bumped it up to 3. Who knows? maybe I’ll try the place one more time down the road… maybe.
3 stars.
