About two weeks ago I read about Pod's limited time 'all you can eat sushi' deal: for about a week, between the hours of 9 and 11, you could order all the sushi you would want to eat for only $25. This was the sort of deal I could get behind, especially since I had been jonesing for sushi for at least a month. I already wrote about the entirety of the experience on yelp, and I don't really feel like going into grumpy, curmudgeonly detail here, but let me just give you the highlights as succinctly as I can. We had a reservation for 9:30. We stood for 40 minutes after 9:30 before being seated. Ak is allergic to shrimp. The management could not guarantee that the sushi would be shrimp-touch free.
The sushi itself (ak's situation was resolved positively) was only okay, which is to be expected when there is a crazy deal going on, but the long wait (in spite of having reservations) and the momentary 'you can't eat what you came to eat' situation was taxing. I strongly believe we should have been comped something. Maybe our beers? Maybe one of our $25? I don't know. I won't lie, in the end I left relatively pleased with the level of sushi in my belly, but would anything about the experience really make me want to come back in the future? No, not really.
