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

As Rachel Ray would say, Yummo! – I've always wanted to try Pod so I chose to go here with a group of friends to celebrate my 34th birthday. The food was amazing and the place was hopin' for a Wednesday night. Loved the mod and fun atmosphere. Their yummy drink selection helped to kick things off. Mojitos are my fav drink and they offer seasonal variations which when we went was with fresh strawberries (yum!). I wouldn't think a place like Pod would know how to make a good mojito but they certainly did. It was fantastic (I t... read more
No complaints about the food. – Anyone in Philadelphia has to visit this place. I went there yesterday for my friend's 25th b-day.. The ambiance is one of the best things. The cielings are colored, the chairs are colored, hey the bathrooms are even little pod themselves. My only complaint was that the wait was a bit long. I did love the food served family style. We had the macadamian chicken, (very good and comes with enough rice for 4) the chicken pad tai (which we had enough left over of/ not enough chicken though) the chi... read more
extremely fun place to dine – this was my first time at pod and i absolutely loved it! it was the best dining experience ive ever had! i would deff recomend pod to anyone looking for a unique and fun enviroment with excelent food. the lettuce wraps are amazing and the menu selection is fantasic! also the staff was very nice!
Awesome service, delish duck – POD restaurant may seem kind of hypey being a Stephen Starr restaurant that touts vinyl menus and party rooms with Kubrick-style changing lights, but at its core is a really great restuarant. My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised then at the level of service we received from the very beginning, getting a late reservation, arriving 15 minutes early and getting sat immediately at a table that was kind of carved into the wall (don't lean back too fast!) We ordered the Kobe beef on a hot roc... read more
A Nod for Pod – I called at 7 for a 9 reservation on a Saturday and got it. My date and I showed up 15 minutes early and were seated immediately. The place was packed. There was a real energetic vibe with people toasting and noshing everywhere. The crowd was mostly mid-20's sprinkled with their well-dressed parents who might have been afraid to take off their coats. The menu was simple with catchy names and good descriptions. The pear sake martini was great. Then the kobe beef app, definitely try that to add some sizzle to y... read more
Extremely over-hyped, Bad food. – My wife and I decided to try Pod in 01/2008, after reading reviews on the web. After parking, we were an hour early for our reservation, but were offered to sit at the sushi bar, which was fine. The sushi bar has a conveyor belt that's constantly in motion. We've eaten at places like this before, in London and NY. It's fun, and you can order anything that might not be making it's way around. This was the first problem we encountered. At Pod, even on a Saturday night, with a full bar, there w... read more
Excellent food and very trendy – I highly recommend Pod. The Chilean Sea Bass was excellent!! The duck was dry compared to others I've had. The house salad was very good and very big, can be shared with several people. Beautiful presentation of all the food. Its all served family style so everyone can get a taste of everything. The pork dumpling appetizer was wonderful, I didn't want to share them! Chocolate, chocolate chocolate dessert was good. Creme brulee was recommended, not bad, but I would try something else next time... read more
Consistently amazing food – I first went to Pod about 3 years ago when I decided that I wanted to eat every restaurant of the Starr Restaurant Organization. Since then, I go about twice a month, every month. I can't get enough of it! I used to think that all sushi tasted the same until I came to Pod. The fish that they get is the freshest fish I have ever tasted. I've been to other places and have had some dishes that smell fishy, but never at Pod. The staff is always attentive and from the first visit, nothing has ever skip... read more
Sushi Better than Morimoto! – I was skeptical after reading two of the most recent posts, but have to say that, having been to Vancouver, Tokyo, and some of the best sushi restaurants in these cities (you really have to go to Vancouver--my little tip) I was not prepared to enjoy some of the best ala carte, as well as sushi combinations that the wonderful, humble Chef (I believe Taka was his name) prepared for me at Pod. BIG TIP: Ask to sit behind the sushi chef facing out to the rest of the restaurant. My wife doesn't enjoy ... read more
