Sushi Cuisine: 3 Restaurants Found
Pod
Address: 3636 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104
Restaurateur Stephen Starr’s vision of the future burns bright in the University City section of Philadelphia where Pod dishes out Asian fusion cuisine in an atmosphere that is a playful cross between Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Jetsons. Fresh sushi, dim sum, and full entrees are served in Pod’s sleek, high-tech dining space. The restaurant’s glossy, pure white interior, accentuated by concentric circles of blue, orange, and purple lighting and flooded with the pulse of ambient music, boldly transports patrons to a culinary destination that is truly ahead of its time.

Raw Sushi and Sake Lounge
Address: 1225 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
Located on Sansom Street, which is well known for its large selection of beloved restaurants, Raw Sushi and Sake Lounge stands out from the neighboring venues. Its simple and enticing façade welcomes diners into a foyer lined with river rocks. Through thick red curtains lies the restaurant, dimly lit by white globes extended low from the ceiling. The relaxed atmosphere allows for slow eating and drinking – multiple rounds of sushi and sake are quite acceptable. The staff is congenial without being pushy, tending to food and drink necessities while giving plenty of space for long conversation and hearty laughter.

Swanky Bubbles
Address: 10 S. Front Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
With an extensive selection of champagne, chocolate fondue on the appetizer menu, and a bar that was modeled after the dream sequence in the Nutcracker, Swanky Bubbles is no ordinary restaurant. Here diners are dazzled by chef Raul Bacordo’s visionary Asian-inspired family-style dishes, which include such creations as edamame gnocci, curried chicken dumplings, and Japanese mac & cheese. An equally dazzling array of maki rolls, sashimi, and nigiri allows diners to mix and match sushi, appetizers, and entrees for the ultimate dining experience.
