Kpod - Philadelphia

Went tonk pod after entering. beloved pod. k pod is terrible. it is hard to believe that it is a stephen rigid restaurant. the service was cruel. server was the bartender and had 4 more tables. eating — worse. the butterfries were a fat chaos. seriously, I love pommes. that was a mess. bibimbab was just as bad. flavourless and inedible. finally, talk manager at the host desk without noticeing what was going on. I had to interrupt her conversation to get my ****. they were oblivious and do not support their employees in any way! Again hard to believe that it is a rigid restaurant. don't waste your time or your money!

I'm not one to complain about meal prices if the service, food, and atmosphere is worth it. A two person lunch was a total of 70$. Completely overpriced for small portions. Aesthetic, vibe, and service was top notch. Come here for cute Instagram pictures....not necessarily a good meal. University has way better Korean food options, especially for lunch.

I’m torn. Maybe 3.5 but not sure if it’s worth the The place is beautiful though.The honey butter fries were good. Just like the chips.I do t know if I liked the spicy rice cake the rice cakes were a bit small and more crunchy than chewy.The dumplings were good and big!I ordered a kimchi fried rice to go, without having the menu, and did not realize it’d be an extra $8 for bulgogi. Im not sure if fried rice should ever be $21….

I had an excellent dinner here last night. KPOD is the new restaurant formerly POD which now serves Korean style food.I was honestly blown away by some of the food options here as many had amazing flavor and creative aspects. We started with some drinks. The Cham Pop and Seoul Mate cocktails were both great. Very creative and with a good flavor.The food here appears to be served as it finishes so certain foods will come out first and all super fresh. The spicy pork dumplings were exceptionally good as well as the sushi rolls. I would definitely order this again.In addition to this, the honey butter fries were probably the best thing I have tasted in Philly. Super crispy and with a pleasant flavor. It is honey butter, but it is not super sweet and has a really good umami flavor.Pork ramen and the glass noddles were pretty decent and had good flavor. But nothing like a good bone marrow broth. Still a good amount of food and flavor.The Korean fried chicken wings were pretty spicy and had good crunch, but honestly was lacking flavor. I was hoping for something other than chicken and spicy flavor, but thats basically all it is.Overall a really great spot that I will be returning to. The aesthetic is amazing and service is out of this world.

Such a great experience eating here! Went with a group and we all ordered food to share and everything was amazing!! I tried foods I had never tried before and was not disappointed. I can’t wait to come back and try some more new things!!
