Hook — Central Lubbock just got a new flame. Volkano BBQ & Sushi has opened with in‑table grilling and all‑you‑can‑eat sushi—still a rarity in the Hub City—inviting curious diners to cook, roll, and repeat. Early buzz suggests Lubbock has an appetite for the mash‑up.
Where it is — The restaurant sits at 6219 Slide Rd., across from the South Plains Mall near the JCPenney side and in the same center as Crunch Fitness. The high‑traffic spot is built to catch shoppers and families looking for an immersive, cook‑at‑the‑table experience that pairs grills with a broad sushi lineup.
What’s unique — Volkano BBQ & Sushi blends table‑top Korean barbecue with an AYCE format that also includes sushi. Diners highlight tender beef bulgogi, pork belly, Cajun‑spiced shrimp, and sides like corn cheese and crab cheese; one Redditor praised a “Hawaiian steak.” Reported dinner pricing runs about $32 per person, with soft drinks roughly $3 extra.
