Nice work DC!

I came across an old article in the Lodi News Sentinel a long time ago that mentioned this restaurant and the fact that it is connected to Hop Louie or owned by him. I was so hoping that this place was a tiki temple but the only tiki type connection i could make was that it was named Volcano. If i remember correctly the information i found was that it served regular dinner food. It had an exterior made of rocks from the town of Volcano in the foothills outside of Lodi but they weren't volcanic rock like what we usually see at the tiki restaurants.

There is a card room/casino in that location now but i also think I read that the original restaurant may have burned down. I will see if i can find my notes on this place.

That's great that you found this and the fact that they served Chinese food and served exotic drinks finally makes that tiki connection I was looking for.
