Review Volcanic Sushi & Sake - Gainesville

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!

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!

Amazing food, poor service. We went at lunch on a Friday. While they had about 50% of tables full, it was not a packed house. We had 2 servers - one who was clearly new and confused, another who was more experienced but didn't seem to care. We had our order questioned by a 2nd server for some reason (100% on-menu items as they come), and the wheels really came off the bus when we wanted to leave. I had to ask both servers for a box, 10 minutes apart. Then the newer one took my card for the check, disappeared for an inordinate about of time, and then came back with no pen and just did a drop and run, so it was another 5 minutes of waiting to flag him down again for a pen. Thankfully the food was amazing. Best Yellowtail I have had in 23 years of eating sushi. Beautiful presentation too. Makes me glad you can tip the sushi chefs separately. 5 star food. 1 star service.

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!

I ordered teriyaki tofu and they literally gave us an uncooked block of tofu. It might have been seared for a few seconds. We asked for it to be crispy..The vegetables are clearly frozen and they gave us a baby portion. Not quite sure who expects us to eat uncooked tofu but that was gross. We had to cook the tofu ourselves in order to eat it. I want a refund.

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.

Great outside meal. Rolls were amazing and they customize them if you want (I switched out salmon for tuna). Pleasant staff. Felt terrible for manger when person in table in front was terribly rude. But a few tables told her she was so respectful even when he didn’t deserve it. Great location, easy parking, quickly becoming a favorite!!

Sushi has always been my favorite food. This is by far my favorite sushi restaurant I have ever been to, and I've been to a lot! Never would have guessed it'd be in Gainesville, FL. Dragonfly is great, but Volcanic Sushi is perfection. I never write reviews, but I felt the need to draft one for this hole-in-the-wall because it is such a hidden gem, and more people need to know about it. All the ingredients are incredibly fresh. Most of all, the sushi chefs and owner are so extraordinarily passionate about their craft that it makes it so much more rewarding. Can't stress this recommendation enough! Definitely a must-try.

Drove from Ocala to try Volcanic Sushi & Sake per a friend's recommendation....Amazing sushi, genuine hospitality....overall worth the drive and prices were on point. Definitely will be back and will recommend this place to everyone!

Simply the best place in town to get sushi. Everything is fresh and reasonably priced. Nestor and Walter have always provided exceptional service. Walter, the sushi chef is extremely creative. I highly suggest you sit at the sushi bar and ask him to make you something special.

The sushi here is awesome! Chef Walter is the best!!! My husband and I have tried sushi all over Florida- and can honestly say Volcanic sushi is the best we have ever had- we give all the credit to Chef Walter who makes sure our experience is exceptional every time. The fish and vegetables are FRESH and the display is phenomenal.

We just visited Volcanic Sushi for the first time and it was delicious. It's sure a restaurant which we will revisit again soon with or without our kids. We had red curry with chicken and beef and my wife had tofu fried rice. The amount of food is a lot. The service was fast and our sever was very friendly. Thank you!! We will recommend this place for couples, families and singles as well..
