"This is a fantastic sushi bistro for fans of Japanese cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegetarian options available, and the food was delicious. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of Sake, so be sure to sample them all."

"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."
