    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.

    My husband ordered veggie curry and I ordered chicken curry (not fried), his was just ok but mine wasn’t good at all. They just boiled the chicken separately and poured the sauce on top, as you can see from the pictures. I expected them to cook the chicken in the sauce so the meat could absorb the flavor. Instead, it was just curry sauce with boiled chicken, pieces of undercooked potato, - pieces of carrot and we both got undercooked rice. The chicken itself was almost ground up, like it was leftover meat or something. We’ve ordered from this place a few times over the past few months. First time was good tho, last few times were just okay, but this time was really bad especially mine

    Quick and convenient katsu! Super fast, delicious, and wonderful staff.Really really excellent katsu! The katsu sandwich in particular was incredible. The curry is very spicy, as well!Overall the perfect spot if you need a quick meal while running errands.

    Food: The burger steak curry was really good. Theo curry is one of the top in the Bay Area in my opinion. Would recommend. Also their katsu sandwich was huge and tasty.Atmosphere: Feels like a hole in the wall, the only knockback is that parking is very difficult to find.
