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

Fantastic! – Pod was fantastic. The atmosphere is really cool...like you're in the Starship Enterprise. We were really impressed with the service as well. Pod has great sushi but is definitely not only a sushi restaurant. There is a great variety of entrees where everyone can find something they like and be pleased with what comes out of the kitchen. The Crispy Scallion Chicken and Wasabi Crusted Filet were both excellent.

still hoppin' – Wow! We went to POD the other night, for the first time. It was a rainy sunday, labor day weekend no less, and the place was packed. Our server, megan treated us like we were the only ones in the place, though. The lights are so cool, and the funky music (which I guess could be annoying), went perfectly with the theme, very jetsons. The food was awesome, so much to choose from, and it was a perfect place to go with friends, because we shared everything and got to taste a little bit of each thing. Definately t... read more

great place to go – WOW! what a cool retaurant, I ate at pod yesterday and It was one of the most enjoyable meals that I have ever had. From the time I walked into the restaurant to the time I left, I was treated like a king. All of the food that I had was so creative and the flavors were to die for. The potstickers were the best dumplings that I have ever had and the Lobster stir fry was great, especially the sauce. My wife who loves sushi had the eel wrap which was as good as any sushi we have ever had and the softshell ro... read more

wow that was great – wow what a meal. If you have not been to pod yet, you must go. The food is great and the restaurant is so cool looking. From the time that the first piece of the crab spring roll hit my mouth to the time that the white choc. bread pudding hit my mouth I thought that I had died and went to heaven. One of the best things that I have ever eaten in my life was the pod lobster roll, The lobster was so good and the rice was even better then that of any restaurant that I have been to in N.Y. city. There are so ... read more

Out of This World!!! – My husband and I wanted a nice enjoying meal but we received so much more. Upon entering we were greeted by smiling faces and promptly seated. Our waiter, Ben was so acknowledgeable. Every question that was asked he was able to assist us. The sushi tasted like we were back in Hawaii were it was caught fresh everyday. The Rock shrimp was just spiced enough for my wimppy palate to take. We had the Filet Mignon that melted in our mouth with mash potatoes I wished my mom could cook. The white chocolate bre... read more

Terrible sushi/food, worse serve/experie – having friends in from New York, thought I would impress them with POD. The sushi was terrible, warm rice, I didn't think tuna was supposed to be brown. Sent several items back and still got charged!! In an empty place, the hour wait by the bar was annyoing to our entire party. I guess they want you to buy more and more drinks while waiting to seat you. Save your money (it is very pricey) If you want attitude, take the ride to New York at least it is justified by good food.

Poor Food – Being from NYC and experiencing quality food from places like YAMA and Blue Ribbon, I'd have to say POD is the worse sushi I ever had. Are those positive ratings by the owners? I'll never go back.
