"Anyone with an aversion to the overly fussy, take note of Volcano Curry. The counter-service spot provides neighborhood fuel in the form of hefty Japanese curry plates. Each one comes with enough curry to fill a pool (it’s lava-like and full of curry-soaked carrot and potato cubes), plus your protein of choice, from perfectly fried pork katsu to the vegetarian options like eggplant and zucchini. Especially considering the portion sizes, the affordable prices feel straight out of 1999. Pop in for a quick, easy lunch or dinner, order a mini $3.99 spam sandwich flavor bomb to go with it, and keep your day moving." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
