Volcano Curry

This place is great! Very simple establishment with a few tables, but quick on the orders and you can get up to an insane level of spice! Their prices have steadily risen in the past few years, so I hope that means they are paying their employees well. I recommend their Burger Steak Curry and Onion & Ginger Pork Curry. Beware that parking in this area is considerably hard during lunch time.

I actually really like this place. The curry is very good and they give you veggies along with your protein choice. Came back here after a long time and the flavors are just as I remember it - delicious. What surprised me and caused a 4 star vs 5? I choose to dine in, because I dont want to eat out of plastic. What did I get? Great food in a to-go container, now plastic utensils and they still ask you to put the used plastics in the previous dining wear wash bins. What is even the point? Might as well tell us to throw it in the trash. At least theres still regualr cups for water vs paper cups...

Medium curry is quite spicy but really good. The Katis is nice and crispy with perfect rice. I wish they had the red ginger garnish! It can be pricey to add a la cart miso and salad to round out the curry. The previous time they had live guitar.

This spot is perfect if you want no-frills and straight to the point. Curry wasn't salty and had options to pick different spice levels. Service was also fast. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area or just craving curry on a random day 😇

Volcano Curry is one of my favorite spots in San Francisco.** It’s a no-frills counter-service restaurant with amazing portions and even better prices. They specialize in Japanese comfort food—curries, chicken katsu, croquettes, tempura—and recently added a Japanese noodle soup, which I was really excited about because I love noodle soups. I’ve ordered their chicken katsu in many forms, and it’s always excellent. Their chicken katsu sandwich is hands down the best deal in the city: a triple-decker, cooked to order, crispy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sauce and cabbage. One sandwich easily feeds two people. They also offer mini sandwiches, which are perfect when I want to share an entrée with my 13-year-old son and still have something on the side. The service is always fr
