Kpod

Embodying the surging “K-Wave” that’s enveloped our world, STARR Restaurants’ KPOD translates Korean ingenuity into a singular dining experience. Vivacious and vibrant with subtle Seoul-inspired touches, the clean and contemporary University City space is the ideal showcase for chef Peter Serpico, who channels his Korean-American heritage to craft a knowledgeable but non-traditional take on the cuisine. The menu features both classic and creative interpretations of Korean dishes, a selection of large and small plates, banchan and more, alongside a beverage menu of low intervention wines and Korean soju. In true STARR Restaurants fashion, the experience at Kpod expands beyond food and drink, with creativity seen in the design of the restaurant space featuring custom commissioned murals and the beloved LED color-changing dining pods. Kpod welcomes longtime city dwellers and youthful new arrivals alike who will feel at home at this kinetic University City oasis pulsing with remarkable energy. For over 20 years, POD was an upbeat and delightful destination that emerged in University City as a futuristic love letter to Pan-Asian cuisine. In 2021, we redesigned the space and menu with Chef Peter Serpico, keeping this a beloved part of the University City dining scene. Enjoy a seat at our bar or in our pods and open dining room.
