Business Summary what's this?
For three star Asian, try Pod in Philadelphia. This mildly expensive restaurant has been around for the last 3 years, and is situated in the University neighborhood. This place features live music. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice an energetic atmosphere. This place features private rooms, delivery, valet parking, and lunch. This restaurant is open late and good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food excellent.
5.0 of 5 stars.

you go to this place for two reasons: the atmosphere (young trendy, and fantastic) and the food besides the sushi. It is true the sushi is not amazing compared to other restaurants, but it is CERTAINLY NOT poor. The rest of the menu, esp. the pad thai and the mongolian beef is fantastic. the atmosphere is one of the best in the city and absolutly the best in university city.

The futurama celluloid decor of Pod in innovative, but the food is lacking substance and more. I was very disappointed, my food was nothing innovative as it was touted to be. If you want to go out anywhere for...

Pod is a very cool-looking restaurant, with design and decor unlike any other restaurant you've seen, unless you've been to Las Vegas. The food however, leaves much to be desired. "Dim sum", sushi and entrees...

Atmosphere is one thing (that one can easily tire of. If you don't like feeling like you're in a Target or Gap advertisement, don't go here) but the food was overpriced and not that impressive. Glad it was on...

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....

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.

Pod's cool--if you have a party of 5 or more--otherwise you can't sit in the famous pods. The food's alright, overpriced, and fairly small portions (your regular "fancy" place). The atmosphere is different and...
