    The food was amazing with the most unique and interesting flavor combinations. Our party of 4 ordered 8 plates to share-some lighter plates and some entrees. The veal, char sui pork chop and mushroom donburi were excellent. The Frito misto is served with a lime aioli and is to die for. Cocktails were interesting and delicious and we saved a bit of space to share both desserts. Yum! Service was excellent- perfectly attentive, warm and friendly without being intrusive. Fast becoming a fave restaurant for us!

    Podmore never fails to deliver in every facet of a meal. The new menu is drool worthy. Everyone wanted multiple things, which means we will have to return soon. The price was really reasonable and the experience very luxurious.

    A very interesting menu, and a great location in the midst of Chinatown. Most of the dishes were very flavorful, but a couple of the meat-focused appetizers could’ve benefited from less cooking time and more seasoning. Would return.
