Purple Shell - Boston

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!

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 peoples unnecessarybehavior. Eventually I checked in as well and was told they would seat me ASAP. Service was extremely slow and we spent about 3 hours in total here but I had expected it. The food was tasty when it did eventually come out. Fresh sushi andincredible drinks. I was very impressed with the quality and flavor. My recommendation is to try to go here on a weekday and to make sure you make a reservation before you head over. Be patient with the staff as there is only so much theycan control.

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.

Really good place to take your girlfriends parents, or a date, or anytime really. The food is delicious and fairly priced, the service is lovely, the ambiance is trendy, and the location cant be beat. The sushi is very fresh so you gotta check this place out. 10/10 would recommend!

Other than my crepe cake still frozen when I got it, everything else was great. Loved the lamp lollipop it was seasoned perfectly 10/10. The appetizers were great 9/10, service was 7/10
