Pod has a fun, futuristic decor (molded rubber, sculpted plastic, and video displays punctuated by a glass exterior curtain wall), generous portions, and a great selection of sushi. The young waitstaff is clad in what looks like Star Trek outfits, and the bathrooms resemble airplane loos. You can self-select the color of your "pod" (a curved semi-private seating area) from nine different pastels, depending on your mood. Another gimmick is the conveyor belt that carries sushi or small, delectable Japanese dishes like sesame-crusted scallops, miso-glazed sea bass, and crepes around an oval seating area with sit-down-light-up stools. (Dishes revolve unclaimed only 20 min. before they're whisked away.) Specialty drinks are $8.
