 | 	- I'm one of those persons who will eat chinese food 2 times a day if given the chance;  good chinese, bad... quick or fancy.  Doesn't matter much to me, and as such Volcano Buffet could of been MUCH worse and I wouldn't of minded. So, its become a rather pleasant surprise as to how much I love this place.
I usually try to arrive by 10:30-11am as thats when its empty and the food is freshly arriving to the main buffet area.  In that way, I KNOW I am getting the best food I can.
The price for the buffet I find to be just fine as I eat an insane amount of food from here;   if you are used to panda express sort of americanized chinese food, and pay for their meager portions, then you should be uber excited that its all you can eat and the quality, in my mind and taste, is much better.
I have it down to a science, what I eat here.   The actual chinese dishes are quite good.  I don't eat the items that are here for those who don't actually want vegetables or chinese food.   So, if you want a review of the pizza or chicken wings, thats not what to come here for.
Grab some volcano chicken,  beef w brocolli, steamed rice, chow mein, hot sour soup,  lil' potstickers... and keep going!   I usually stray away from shellfish at a place like this, so I can't speak for that,  but if you try toe kungpao chicken, the black pepper chicken,  spicy pork... YEAH!  damn good!
Over to the dessert section, you have nice fruit,  pastries, ice cream, jello, and pudding.  My secret favorite is the tapioca and one of the fried lil' donuts.  
And when I'm done with dessert, I grab another bowl of hotsour or wonton soup.
Volcano buffet is perfectly fine for chinese food in the valley;  I haven't had a bad experience here yet, and Ive been by at least 10 times in past few months.
Cheers!
