Kpod

Amazing food and mocktails. Not a GF menu but there are GF items on the menu. A little pricey but worth it. Hip decor. Penn students and older adults there.

Now Kpod since February 2022, formerly Pod, when all the favorable reviews here were written. I had been to Pod, great food and no problems. It now has a Korean-based menu and the food is not as good. The menu is labeled, but inconsistently. Some dishes with kimchi are labeled as Gf (I had one of them) and another place, kimchi by itself is not labeled Gf. Some dishes use “sweet soy,” as mine did. I trusted my server for advice, who told me it was the same as tamari (which is Gf) and that my dish with sweet soy and kimchi was Gf. It was labeled Gf on the menu. But something wasn’t right. I won’t return.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was extremely knowledgeable about celiac... came to our table with GF soy sauce once I said I had an allergy, and made sure to prepare our entire dish with no cross contamination. And the meal was DELICIOUS! Certainly state of the art sushi. Will be going back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pod didn’t have a GF menu according to my waiter but he was able to point out items that could be prepared without gluten. Most of the sushi, a few starters, and a few entrees. Food is great, portions are super generous, and the decor is unusual (2001 Space Odyssey theme). Ate here twice while in the area and would happily visit again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious Asian Fusion - they had a GF menu and seemed to really understand Celiac. The food that I had was delicious, and not even a twinge of a stomach ache. For GF desserts, there was sorbet, mochi, and a third option. I've eaten here several times before my diagnosis, and am glad that I can continue to enjoy their food with Celiac.
