• Sushi was good but a bit overpriced. Sake selection is fantastic but be careful they don't try to rope you into paying for a way expensive bottle instead of caraffe

  by Amber Lowey

  
  

• Upscale sushi venue that lives up to its reputation. Go with a group and get to sit in one of the "pods". Large and accommodating menu.

• Pod was probably my first "upscale" restaurant when I was a teen. It's fun and has great sushi rolls but can get loud. If you want something more casual than Morimoto or RAW, pod is a fun joint

• They recently started a happy hour from 5 to 7pm Monday thru Friday. Certain appetizers are 1/2 off and so are the cocktails, wine and beer selections.

• When it opened, it was the best Japanese in town. Now it is over-priced for the same things you can get elsewhere for cheaper. You won't have a bad meal overall.

• Fashionable, tasty, unusual! Great! Absolutely love this place!

  by Ekaterina Z

  
  

• Come here for the atmosphere, typical of Starr restaurants. Food is quality, but not outstanding by any means and will cost you. Primarily good for special occasions.

  by Catherine R.

  by Jeff Curry

  
  

• We had a round table in the back room - great for conversation. I asked for a spicey tuna roll - not exactly on the menu - didn't want the crab on top - excellent!

  by Carol Ann S.
