Guidebook for Volcano
Food Scene
Cheapest, but somehow still the greatest place to eat in Volcano. Call ahead if you're in a hurry as they can get busy. The pumpkin curry helped build this house!
(11-6 everyday but Sunday. Call them if you need to know for sure as they sometimes take other days off.)
