Purple Shell - Carte

10/10 sushi experience in Boston! Everything you order has a surprising element to it whether it be shocking and unique flavor combinations or a really beautiful presentation. You gotta go

Amazing restaurant?perfect for a fancier dinner setting. The inside is gorgeous and the presentation of all the food was so nice! The taste certainly lived up to the appearance. We really loved the fire salmon, but we also got various other dishes all of which were so good. It is expensive, but definitely recommend for a nice occasion.

My favorite sushi in the area and a great place to go for lunch/ dinner. Their delivery services need some work though. I’ve ordered out a few times and just about every single time there’s an item missing. It’s never missing the main dish thankfully, but they’ll consistently forget the items like spicy mayo, the side of rice, soy sauce, etc. Voir le carte

In A Nutshell: -Purple Shell is one of the BEST Japanese restaurants I've ever eaten at. -They have very unique presentation styles. -The food not only looks good, but it tastes extremely good too. -This place should earn a Michelin star+ -Check out all of the photos to see all the delicious dishes we ordered. -The location is off the Broadway T stop is very easy to get to find. -You can also walk from Seaport along the Harborwalk which takes about 20minutes. Overall, come grab a meal here if you are in Boston, you won't regret it, but you will if you don't come!

Great place for sushi but docking a point for service. My takeout experience has always been smooth, orders are always right and mostly on time. Dined in recently and maybe it was just a slower night, but it was extremely difficult having to get any the attention of any waiter/waitress. They finally asked for our drink order 30 min after we sat down, but only because we went to the host stand to ask. Service was still slow after that but it did improve. The food is really good but I don't think I'll dine-in again. Sashimi: 4/5Salmon Lover: 5/5Sushi Special: 4/5Torched Salmon Press: 5/5Volcano Maki: 4/5Gao's Chicken: 4/5

I recently dined at Purple Shell, a sushi spot in Boston, and was thoroughly impressed by the unique experience. One standout dish was the salmon roasted over fire, which was both visually stunning and delicious. The cocktail selection was fun and creative, adding to the overall vibe of the restaurant. The atmosphere was lively and the seating plentiful, providing a comfortable dining experience. While parking may have been a challenge, it was a small inconvenience compared to the fantastic food and atmosphere of Purple Shell. I highly recommend checking out this sushi spot for its innovative dishes and enjoyable atmosphere. Voir le carte

This was a date night location- nice quality sushi and decor but since we dined during a non peak hour I believe we probably missed out on atmosphere as it was pretty quiet and nearly empty when we dined. Very nice service for sure, but it has a bit of a barren quality when the dining areas are not full- wish they could add some kind of warmth or texture to the restaurant decor to make it feel less sterile. Sushi quality was indeed indeed good and we also had the uni shots. We used a parking app and parked at the Cambria hotel valet which was super convenient across the street, there are cheaper options but a further walk away.

Pedro from Brazil was our host and he was so friendly and kind he gave us samples of wine and my cocktail he suggested was amazing and on fire the lamb chops was juicy and tender and flavorful and the teriyaki Salmon was very fulfilling and good and he brought out sides of rice for no charge and two green tea shots free of charge it was my first time and won’t be my last the fact that you can choose regular seating with lighting or the bar seating which was a darker atmosphere with music playing was also a treat he offered different flavors of Japanese cheesecake but I had no room please go visit them and tell them DjLive sent you

I was looking for a special place to spend my birthday and decided on Purple Shell. I don?t really enjoy driving into Boston anymore as it can be really overwhelming but I figured it was a special occasion and so I forged ahead. We made a reservation for 7:30 and when I arrived there was a crowd of people around the hostess desk. Complete chaos!! People yelling that they had reservations and why weren?t they seated, fighting back and forth with each other and with the host.I was really starting to feel I may have made a mistake coming here. HOWEVER understanding that many restaurants are understaffed right now I attempted to remain calm and actually apologized to the host for the other peopl... Voir le carte
