Do not delay your visit – seriously, the Japanese cuisine is waiting for you. Trying perfectly cooked nigiri, beef tataki and salmon appetizers is what many clients advise. This restaurant offers you good pancakes and tasty crepe cakes. This place is known for delicious Mai tai. A lot of visitors order great matcha.

Food delivery is an important advantage of Purple Shell Boston. The hospitable hostess works hard, stays positive and makes this place wonderful. Democratic prices are to be expected at this place. The nice decor and comfortable atmosphere let guests feel relaxed here. Google users awarded this spot 4.2.

So happy that this place reopened. The sushi definitely is a splurge, but it is worth it for the quality and taste. The presentation is also nice. I enjoyed everything that I ordered, but the seared nigiri and sashimi balls were my favorite. The cocktails are not bad either. The inside is very spacious. I did not need a reservation when I went for an early dinner. My server was friendly. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Salmon Dumplings, Signature Nigiri

Absolutely horrible they did not take my call my uber eats they gave me one Singular shrimp. I tried to call them many times they did not answer me once. They don’t care. If they don’t respect customers don’t respect them. It’s a 3 hour wait FOR WHAT. Just don’t

This is a truly hidden gem in a very nice residential area in South Boston. I’ve traveled from Japan to Australia to Vancouver to St. Mateo, San Diego, and NYC looking for best sushi and sushi fish variety. I think for Boston, Purple Shell Boston deserves the gold medal. Compared to the rest of the US, you can’t beat the variety of fresh fish and Omakase flavors and presentations. Their appetizers are omakase grade but more creative and tasty. I fell in love with love bites and salmon dumplings. The omakase sashimi and sushi were both amazing at 9 each but different types of fish, presentation, and just the right amount of seasoning/garnish. For fatty fish or waygu additional soy sauce to taste. If omakase was served piece by piece directly from the chef, expect at least double the price but at Purple Shell they’re served as a set.
