What Tim S doesn't like about Vulcan Thai Cafe:
Pro- Their green dipping sauce for their corn cakes is amazing.Con- Thier corn cakes have no cohesion and crumble apart making them hard to eat. Otherwise very middle of the road, boring, Thai food. Their Pad See Ew was fine. But that's it. Just fine. Won't wow you but will scratch the Thai itch. And that green dipping sauce is amazing. View all feedback. What J P likes about Vulcan Thai Cafe:
This East Oakland restaurant is a great spot to visit during the day for delicious food. It has been open for around 30 years and is tucked away in a secluded back alley. Parking is limited, so it's best to come during daylight hours. View all feedback.

Vulcan Thai Cafe in East Oakland offers a mix of experiences, with some customers singing praises of its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. The green dipping sauce for corn cakes is a standout favorite, while dishes like Pad See Ew and calamari receive high marks. However, other diners have complained of problems like dry chicken wings, bitter tasting pad thai, and spoiled seafood. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly if you visit during the day. Despite mixed reviews, Vulcan Thai Cafe serves up authentic Thai cuisine that has left some customers delighted and some disappointed, so proceed with caution when ordering.
