Fodor's Expert Review Pod

$$$$ University City and West Philadelphia Japanese

The futuristic atmosphere of this restaurant (all-white tables and chairs and partially enclosed booths—or pods—whose lighting changes color with the touch of a button) is a fitting setting for food with strong Asian overtones that ultimately defies precise description. The sushi conveyor is an entertaining touch. Dim sum, stir fry, and crab pad thai share the menu with entrées such as tea-smoked duck breast, whole branzino with wasabi chimichurri, and takes on fried rice with foie gras and Wagyu beef. Just be warned: the place can be overrun with Penn students.
