About this business
If they built a sushi bar on the space station from 2001: A Space Odyssey and Austin Powers stopped by with Derek Flint and James Bond, this is what it would look like. The motif is all white and translucent plastic, with colored lights and flat screen monitors all over. When you sit on the cushions in the lounge area, they light up. There are 16 possible light settings in the private cubicles (parties of six only). The wait staff is dressed in plain gray t-shirts. Techno and lounge music play softly. Even the bathroom cubic... read more

So I have travelled to 6 continents and this is my favorite restaurant in the world !!! The ambience is so futuristic and I absolutely adore the food ! I tell everyone about it! You have not lived the most awesome culinary scene in Philadelphia until you have gone to Pod!
Food Poisoning – My family recently ate at Pod. My husband and I contracted food poisoning after sharing a plate! I contacted Pod twice and their response was NO response. Pretentious. We will not return.
Terrible Service – Shame on this restaurant. How dare they position themselves between to college campus and then hire staff which has a snide pretentious attitude towards college students. I have never had such an ignorant waitress in my life. I've been going to modern, expensive restaurants since they day I was born, how dare they treat me like I'm just some college student who doesn't know how to tip just because I'm young and therefore don't deserve great service. Absolutely not worth it for the price. Management at this... read more
Mod Atmosphere – Like any other Steven Starr restaurant, you can expect a stunning atmosphere; however, the food was mediocre - at it's best and the service was horrible. I had a party of 6, so we were sat in a pod. It was very interesting! There were several buttons to change the lighting. Unfortunately they often broke and we had the misfortune of getting the lights stuck on green, which reflected off of our food and made it look very unappealing. Our waiter also forgot our orders and had to come back several times to ask ... read more
Yum yum yum – My boyfriend and I went to Pod for our anniversary and we LOVED it. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our waitress was extremely friendly, without being weird and she was very knowledgeable and well-trained. We got the crab rolls and spicy tuna roll as appetizers- they were fantastic. I had the Chilean sea bass (best I've ever had) and my boyfriend had the wasabi-crusted filet. Both meals were incredible! I forgot to mention how cool the restaurant was inside as well. All in all, I would definit... read more
Fun atmosphere and fun food. – POD is a MOD place with delicious dinner food. We always get seated promptly w/reservations. Fun with groups and just ur gf/bf.
I love this place! – They have the best sushi here! I went here for a friend's birthday and we got to sit in one of the "pods." It was such a cool experience and the food is wonderful! Not a huge fan of their drinks, but I guess it depends what you like to drink. It's kind of pricy but you are definitely paying for quality. It gets really really crowded, so a reservation is probably a must. And from what I hear it's hard to get a table in the pod (we knew someone).
DO NOT EACH LUNCH HERE----great for dinner- very bad for lunch- – I have eaten dinner here at least 30 times, and every time I have been impressed. The sushi is fresh, the service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Today all that changed when I came in for lunch. I shouldn't say it all changed, because the food was still on par with the dinner menu, but the lunch service was scary. For those of you from Philly, think Oregon Diner scary. We ordered a mix of appetizers and on grilled chicken sandwich and one tune sushi... read more
Great Place. – If you want a unique experience and your open to different foods definately go to pod. The decor is fun, there was virtually no wait (for a friday night), and the servers are most helpful. I really don't know what all these people are talking about the sushi is great. The spicy sushi really wasn't that spicy though. I enjoy a real kick in my food and it didn't have it but still was quite tasty. The entrees were great. The place wasn't loud and crowded like most places in are olde city. Its quite spacious and h... read more
