Pod: Shapes and Tastes

A popular spot for Wharton alums, Pod seems to cater to a high-end clientele. A Steven Starr restaurant, Pod has a sleek, streamlined interior that sets the tone for its modern take on Asian cuisine. Under pulsating, circular lights, guests are seated at a variety of geometric shapes: stools circled around a bar, square-shaped booths, and cubby holes with circular openings. The menu consists of the typical Asian fushion offerings of potstickers, spring rolls, dumplings, and hibachi. Vegetarians and pescatarians will be pleased with Pod's culinary variety. The sushi selection at Pod includes the usual standbys — Dragon and Rainbow — along with inventive originals like the Seattle and the Rio Grande.
