A Bowl of Comfort on Geary Boulevard
Tucked along Geary Boulevard in the Richmond District, Volcano Curry is the kind of neighborhood spot you come back to again and again. Walk in on a foggy evening and you're greeted by the smell of slow-simmered curry and the sound of fresh katsu hitting the fryer. Our curry is rich and savory, not too thick and not too soupy, loaded with chunky potatoes and carrots and served over a generous scoop of rice. Top it with golden chicken or pork katsu, or go with the EZ, an all-vegetarian plate of eggplant and zucchini, and add extras like tofu nuggets, potato croquettes, or a hard-boiled egg.
Not in the mood for a plate? Our chicken katsu sandwich stacks two crispy cutlets with coleslaw and a slightly sweet sauce, and the mini Spam katsu sandwich makes a perfect four-bite snack. And since this is Volcano Curry, you choose your eruption: four spice levels run from gentle and mellow up to a hot curry with a real tingle. Medium is a great place to start, mild at first with warmth that builds as you eat.
Volcano Curry is casual by design: order at the counter, grab a seat, and dig in. It's a favorite for solo dinners, students on a budget, and anyone who wants a filling, affordable meal, with takeout and delivery always an option. You'll find us at 5454 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, open daily from 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Come hungry, and bring a friend who's never had Japanese curry before.
