Volcano Curry is truly a gem : r/sanfrancisco – Reddit

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 friendly, and the space is clean and well-organized. I especially appreciate their trash and recycling system—it’s the most detailed I’ve ever seen, with separate bins for everything.
There are always people dining here, which makes it feel welcoming without being overcrowded. I know I can always get a table, and it’s never awkwardly empty. Volcano Curry is our go-to spot whenever I pick up my son from his dad’s place nearby. It’s a solid neighborhood restaurant that consistently hits the spot.

Delicious Japanese curries at your desired spice level, fast, and at a good price. The chicken katsu curry is great. The decor is very basic; you’re there for the food.
However, what earns this 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that even when dining in, the food is served in plastic take-out containers. That includes soups, and everything is served piping hot, which can leach chemicals from the plastic into the food. It’s also a lot of waste, with disposable plastic cutlery as well as disposable chopsticks and the containers.

The curry is phenomenal. Got the chicken katsu and ez original, both incredible. Medium has a decent amount of spice in it, hot is quite spicy! Highly recommend.
Yes the interior is like a hole in the wall. Come for the food.

Volcano Curry is a causal, counter-serve Japanese curry restaurant in Central Richmond, San Francisco. In addition to curry, they also serve sandwiches, soups, and side orders. The menu is on the smaller side.
The restaurant has signs asking patrons to not play cards, to not bring in outside food, and to not put the to-go boxes in the trash can (there’s a separate bin for those). There’s also a sign to order at the counter before taking a seat, then another that they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Lots to read!
Whether dining in or not, everything is served in a microwave safe to-go container. The veggies that come with the curry are carrots and potatoes. I admittedly don’t have much experience with Japanese curries, but this is similar to the few I’ve had in the past. I enjoyed the sauce-to-rice ratio, and it was filling.
For a quicker bite, this would be a good option. It wouldn’t be good for groups or hanging with a friend for a while.

Recommendation: Order to-go! I dined in with a party of 4 and the wait times were pretty long. The atmosphere is very casual. Order at the counter and sit at an available table, waiting for up to an hour. The curry, soft vegetables, crispy protein, and freshly cooked rice is delicious. Volcano is HOT but can be handled by those who love spicy. Service is very weak when dining in as they seem to prioritize to-go orders. We waited for a long time to receive 4 orders and another 20 minutes to receive an extra ordered cup of curry. Our orders were also labeled incorrectly so some of us were eating spicier/milder curry than we wanted. The price is worth it; just don’t dine in if you don’t have time.

Really tasty curry. Spicy with a deep and rich luxurious texture. Good stuff. The burger steak was moist even upon delivery. The same can be said for the katsu still being crispy. The slider is the sleeper hit though, good lord. That little guy is beyond delicious. All in all tasty stuff.
