Purple Rice is a business offering Asian products and produce in the North Country. It provides a great option for groceries, with all products noted for being fresh. Many people also visit for the fresh, homemade lunch made Monday through Friday, with one tasty Asian-inspired dish available daily starting around noon until it sells out. Examples include sushi and sweet and sour soup. Occasional homemade soups and other items like seaweed salad, kimchi, and noodle salad are also available and consistently delicious. The service is described as amazing, friendly, open, down to earth, kind, funny, and a delight to interact with. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful, offering advice and transforming the stop into a surprisingly pleasant and fun experience. Customers appreciate the variety and have found items like a stacking dumpling steamer to be a great investment, remaining functional for years. Potsdam is considered a better place for having this shop.

Food was delicious, large spread of options. The worker there and I bantered very well and she was very funny and sweet. 10/10 would recommend my friend and I loved It.

Nice selection of items, some old favorites (Sriracha!), and some new ones. The clerks are really fun. :)
