In Short – Shiny, red foam couches, sit-down-light-up stools and elevated, egg-shaped rooms with neon lights that change colors set the tone in this modern joint. College students and hip foodies gather around the conveyor belt sushi bar or squeeze into "pods" for Asian-fueled cuisine. Try the specialty Hawaiian marlin in corn and avocado salsa, crab pad thai with sweet noodles, pot stickers stuffed with pork, or spice-infused aged beef--all served family-style.

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 definitely go back (for a special occassion- it was somewhat pricey!)!!! It was a really great experience!
- Pros: atmosphere, food, service
- Cons: a little pricey

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).
- Pros: sushi, atmosphere, service
- Cons: crowded if you aren't in a pod
