Vulcan Thai Cafe

Another East Oakland place to come during the day that has great food. It's been here forever, like 30 years or something. Isolated down a little back ally, it's OK, parking tight, but only come during the daytime.

Vulcan Thai truly deserves the highest rating possible because of its friendly owners and its top notch food! I felt like I was in Thailand again being able to practice some Thai with the nice owners who lived in Thailand and recommended their specials. If you are looking for a hidden gem, then this is your place!

I ordered Pad Thai with duck, and the Special #2 (fried fish Thai style).

Holy OMG! The Vulcan is STILL here serving up Thai food in the most unlikely places in a ally way with nothing around. I came here 40 years ago and it's still here! My fave spicy basil rice is still one the menu.
