Hop Louie's wrote - "Each restaurant was unique; as many of you know. I can't recall the name nor the type of motif of my parent's second restaurant in Lodi, CA. (I will check with my family)."


Here is a Lodi News Sentinel article announcing Hop Louie's opening of a new restaurant in "The Volcano" in Lodi. It was now to be Chinese food but they kept the Volcano name.

Before I new of the Hop Louie conection I read somewhere that the Volcano had been built and operated by someone else and was built with rocks from the nearby foothill town of Volcano.

Interesting Note: The article states that Hop Louie was a chef at Trader Vic's in Oakland and later was at the Coral Reef in Sacramento.
