PodGreat lunch!One of our friends could only eat gluten free and they had a special menu just for that, it was great!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMTerrific RestaurantEveryone in our party of 4 was so impressed with the food & ambience that we agreed to return soon. Our second visit was just as enjoyable as the first. Both times we all loved the rock shrimp tempura in a spicy aioli sauce, vegetable fried rice, sushi & salad. On our third excursion we plan to try other items from the menu. I for one may not be able to resist getting the rock shrimp again!5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was great as always;The food was great as always; very tasty and nicely presented. Our waitress, Yoko, was outstanding.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMTop food but not for loversAs we were looking for a nice place for a romantic dinning, Pod was not really the place we were looking for. It was kind of funny we were like overdressed...We were seated on the side were everybody had to pass.
Our waitress was a super girl that saw the humor of it.
My wife had the wagyu beef cooked on a stone at the table. A very nice guy came over to our table and grilled the meat just like my wife wanted it. I had the mixed maki and sashimi platter and I really liked it.
So after all it was a great evening with a possitive atmosphere and we did'd feel sorry for having our dinner I
at Pod's.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMStarr restaurants never dissapoint!I was celebrating my birthday with friends at Pod! I love the trendy atmosphere, outstanding service and amazing food! I would highly recommend the Red lychee martini, Rock shrimp with candied walnuts, Shrimp Pad Thai and Kung Pao chicken and shrimo stir fry! If you love peanut butter try the fluffernutter spring rolls which is my absolute favorite dessert at Pod!! If you have a large party try to reserve a pod for more intimacy!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGoodnessCrab spring rolls are out of this world good. Everything tasted like a quality dish made from quality ingredients. If you're craving Asian food, Pod will hit the mark well, from sushi to pad thai to crab fried rice. Service was friendly and attentive (though it was not very busy when we arrived).5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently goodI've been to Pod on a number of occasions, it never disappoints. Always good.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMamazing food, wonderful serviceThis was my first time dining at pod. Went for my birthday. The strawberry mojito and spare ribs are to die for.

Noisy and crowded. Not a place for a quiet romantic dinner.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome spot!I've been meaning to go to this place for awhile and finally had a chance to. Definitely worth the hour drive! Our server Dane was fantastic and knowledgeable. He was able to answer any question we asked and give us recommendations. I ordered the wasabi crusted filet which was cooked to perfection and my friend ordered the miso glazed seabass, also done precisely. Will surely be back again but with more people so we can sit in the color changing pod.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMTables for two are a bit cramped.Tables for two are a bit cramped.

We went Dim Sum style with 3 of us eating all of the dishes. We had grape leaves with beef and pork buns which were to die for. You HAVE to get the kobe beef cooked table side! We had one entree- the duck- and it was a great portion with great seasoned veggies.
The waitress was fantastic in suggesting drinks from their interesting drink menu.
I would definately suggest getting in here soon!4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMJwattzIt was a wonderful experience the food, atmosphere, as well as the service was definitely on point really enjoyed myself4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMI have been to Pod numerousI have been to Pod numerous times, and never had a bad meal. The servers are gracious, attentive but not overbearing, even when they are busy.
The restaurant tends to be noisy because of the decor, and the tables in the middle are close together.
The food really is fabulous.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMWas a great experience. FriendlyWas a great experience. Friendly staff and the food was perfect. little pricey but would definitely go again.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMI have been to Pod severalI have been to Pod several times and I am always impressed by the quality and the preparation of the food. We ordered about 9 appetizers, small plates and vergitable sides between 4 of us. It was more than enough food. Everything was excellent. The bok choy and mushrooms were wonderful. The sushi; delicious. The crab eggrolls are tasty although very overpriced for what they are. I think to really like 8 out of 9 dishes is a pretty good record. It is a noisey place, but that goes along with decor and overall atmosphere. It is kind of what the 1960's thought the future might look like.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMI thought the food was amazing.I thought the food was amazing. I would recomend it to anyone who likes sushi. Also the staff was very friendly and happy.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was good but in my opinionFood was good but in my opinion a but pricey for what you get. Overall a great experience.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMI wish Stephen Starr wouldI wish Stephen Starr would turn down the noise/music. It's hard to chat with friends with thst chichichichi in the background.
His restaurants are great but the noise levels could sgtnd some review.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMU Penn parents and kids.U Penn parents and kids. Lots of happy noise. The food, though is really quite special and the service has always been professional and friendly.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place in West PhillyWent last minute, had no trouble getting a reservation same day. Bit noisy, tables are close together but the vibe is cool there, great service and great people watching. Food comes out as it is prepared so not a course by course type dinner, but great for sharing. WE had a few spectacular dishes, but then some that were mediocre also. I would recommend the Negi Toro, the miso sea bass and the spicy tuna roll. The Saki was awesome, the martini choice was limited and it tasted fine but nothing fancy. The mochi ice cream was odd and I would not recommend it for the price. Overall a great place and thumbs up for sushi and sashimi fans.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place never disappoints.This place never disappoints.

color board where you can press a button and change the lighting -- fun feature. Sushi was delicious. Great presentation. The new
dessert on the menu is to die for -- a tropical fruit crumble creation with marshmallows and sorbet. Andy, the manager, stopped by
and chatted and made us feel very welcome. Look forward to coming back to Philly and coming to Pod again.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMPodFantastic food with an Asian spin. Veg and Vegan friendly.
