Obsessed w this place. The food is always incredible, and delivery is speedy! Truly my favorite sushi spot. The prices are reasonable (honestly could be way more expensive) for the quality. I just wish their seaweed salad was bigger read more

This spot rocks!!! I always order from here since I work close by. I always request if they can make the sushi cup with crab meat instead of salmon and they finally did it. Woah best cup ever! Wish it was a staple on the menu! (: read more

Silver Rice - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Reliably good. One of our go-tos. The food is always excellent and they're very efficient.

too little for what you pay and padded with lots of rice - Good otherwise -fresh and tasty

I used to love this place, however I feel the quality of the food has changed.. It's also very salty now. I was left with a stomach ache after a sushi cup last time I ate here :/ read more

I love how the service here is really nice. The ambience looks sort of hipstery and pretty cool. So my sister, cousin, and I ordered the Fisherman's bowl, unagi cup, spicy tuna cup, and the macrobiotic roll. The fisherman's bowl was so fresh. I loved how all the raw fish was on top and they had a lot of toppings along with it. They added mini salmon eggs, avocado, and three pieces of unagi. I love how the rice tasted along with the raw fish. I totally recommend this. The macrobiotic roll was ok. Overall, I would come here again since I love the food here. read more

Love the rice cups (salmon or tuna). Best fresh sushi in the neighborhood. Get the spicy salmon rice cup, some sake in the reindeer cup and green tea ice cream read more

Silver Rice - Spicy salmon rice cup - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Super cute and nice location. They have outdoor and indoor seating, the food was super quick and decent for the price. I got the spicy salmon cup and it had good enough portion to keep me full! Salmon had a nice kick and who doesn't love spicy mayo sauce?! The rice was warm and chewy, then to top it off the slices of avocado. Definitely going back for more! I'd take it to go next time and go hang out at the park for a picnic! read more

Walked here after attending the Brooklyn Museum First Saturdays event. The fish is really fresh and the service is quick. I loved the unagi and spicy salmon cups. They dona great job of organizing such a small space and it was nice to sit outside on a breezy summer night. read more

Tasty cups of fish, buddy. I really enjoyed their spicy tuna cup, which was the item I was least expecting to like. The sauce was juuuuust the right amount and quality of mayo. I do enjoy anago, but I feel like 9 bucks is a big price to pay for that, but gotta do my first time of it. Good quality chirashi bowl, but again, pretty steep. read more

This review would be deserving of five stars -- my roommates and I used to spend money here more than once a week. Until I recently found out the kitchen uses the same cutting boards for all their ingredients: mixing shellfish with vegetables among other produce used. This wouldn't necessarily be an issue, but there are 1) people allergic to shellfish who cannot enjoy Silver Rice and 2) people with vegan diets who'd rather not eat food prepared on the same surface as fish. Now I contemplate going to Silver Rice because I'm committed to not consuming animal products and do not want to support businesses that do not respect that choice, and/or do not have the courtesy to let me know in advance what I'm eating. In any case, I hope this review will allow Silver Rice to reconsider their ethics in the kitchen. Because it's worth noting that the mass production of meat and dairy products contribute to greenhouse gases emissions, pollution, global warming more than the auto industry. In addition to eating what was once alive, then captured, slaughtered, packaged then distributed, consuming meat and fish and dairy make it harder for us humans to survive on this planet. read more

I can't tell you how long I've been dealing with the dismay of the sushi selection in/around Crown Heights. Everything I would go to on Seamless would end up disappointing me. Flavorlessness. Lack of freshness (which just maybe has to do with my habit of ordering a little late into the evening). Generally underwhelmed to the point where I questioned if sushi really was my favorite food and why had that been the case? More apps for delivery have been popping up with more options than Seamless and that's how I discovered Silver Rice. It was either DoorDash or Caviar (the latter I have better customer service experiences with by far btw) that brought me to Silver Rice. I have yet to step foot into the place and can't wait until I do, but from a delivery standpoint, I am enamored with this find. Everything tastes so fresh and so made-to-order. Flavors abound. Let me walk you through my standard items: The Spicy Salmon cup is literally served in a coffee cup. I actually think it's cute and make's perfect sense for portability. Again, so flavorful. I like to add spicy mayo and tempura crunch to mine. Maybe a little unagi sauce. The best part is that it's so filling. Seriously, a cup and a miso soup is a competitively priced and fulfilling meal. The Miso Soup is organic, and still very cheap. Nuff said. The seaweed salad, crisp, pristine, tasty as hell. The Anago roll is delicious. Again you can just tell how freshly made everything is. Unagi sauce makes this roll perfect. And as of tonight, I tried the Dessert Combo with green tea ice cream. So this is a little red bean pancake with sizable cup of ice cream. That freakin' pancake is so delicious and perfect. I have a bad habit of sprinkling matcha powder on my ice cream so this green tea ice cream was a bit mild for me at first but it goes with the pancake very, very well. Absolutely wonderful. I feel like you can just tell time and passion were poured into this small but fulfilling menu. I'm so pleased. I can order enjoyable sushi again. At this point I'm convinced everything this place does probably tastes amazing. Now I just wish sake delivery was a thing! read more

I was very excited to try this place. Order came well packaged and in reasonable timing. I ordered the spicy tuna bowl. Sushi and seaweed salad. Honestly everything tasted the same. Not that impressed w the limited menu. The seaweed salad was the best thing. read more

I had the real crab California roll, shrimp dumpling miso soup and the vegetarian silver rice cup. Everything was delicious, but my favorite thing was hands down the shrimp dumpling miso soup. I could have had a whole bowl of it. Dumplings were delicate and broth was so delicious. Seriously so yum. read more

I generally get takeout and it's always delicious. My go-to is the spicy salmon cup and some miso soup. They are quick to prepare and reasonably priced! If you get there right at closing time (10pm) they have special cup+rolls deals. read more

Food: excellent quality, taste, and portion size Ordered from seamless and had some issues because they forgot some elements, like spicy mayo and flax rice, for example. We called them and they took wonderful care of us, providing outstanding customer service and even greater food! read more

Fantastic spot for a casual sushi meal. They have such an aesthetic vibe but most importantly the food is fresh and delicious. I got the unagi rice cup and it was way more filling than I expected. I also got the special salmon crunch roll and it was awesome. I wish there were more Silver Rice locations around the city! read more

I. LOVE. SILVER RICE! The sushi cups are the best thing ever and the soup is great too (specifically the shrimp dumpling and quinoa broccoli rabe). I have lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and Silver Rice has become total comfort food for me. I eat it when I'm happy or sad or the weather is cold or hot and it just always makes me feel GREAT! read more

Nice to see Japanese folks behind the counter and not Mexicans. Nothing against my hard working Mexican brothers and sisters, but the testament to any good Japanese place is seeing Japanese customers. The ones who actually speak Japanese. Keep in mind we are still in Crown Heights. We had the spicy tuna ( it is spicy. It has the delayed kick. The tuna is rare, fresh, soft and easy going down and the kick hits you mid peristalsis); California roll with real crab ( thank you. Why do California rolls have fake crab?? It's a complete opposite); a house special spicy salmon roll ( the fish roe were the size of pomegranate pieces. The pop in your mouth was very satisfying); and lastly, a crunchy yellowtail ( just enough crunch that you don't feel guilty ordering a crunchy roll. It's sushi after all). All of it was dumb delicious and incredibly fresh. They make it fresh to order and the service is quick and efficient. Most importantly, the price is right. Four rolls and one house salad came up up 32 dollars. Please stop changing to much Crown Heights. read more

I very rarely review on here, tending to use Yelp as a one-way tool, directly from my cell phone to my stomach. However, Silver Rice has inspired me. I went with my girlfriend tonight and we had the rice bowls. Holy cow. Friggin' delicious. Fresh fish, fresh rice, spicy, portable, and cheap. $6 for a filling portion. I will be back. Soon. And often. read more

Just wanted to update my review after having a full meal there. Got the fisherman chirashi sushi (a rice bowl with sushi rice and sashimi), and the bowl was substantial and the salmon was absolutely ideal- very fresh and generous, meaty cuts. I also had a side of the kinpira, which is julienned gobo (root vegetable) prepared in a sweetened soy sauce. It was one of the better kinpiras I've had in NYC. The owners say that once they have a liquor license, they plan on shifting in the later evening to an izakaya-style, small plates and booze service, and if this kinpira is any indication, I'm looking forward to seeing what else they'll have on that menu... Also got the saikyo miso ice cream again, because it's fuggin amazing. read more

What a cute, trendy, and unexpected surprise this was in the neighborhood when my friend invited me to this place for a quick late night bite. The setup is very simple. They have a couple of indoor seating areas that just have barstools, a covered outdoor seating area, and then just a simple patio area. They offer your typical sushi and also rice bowls. I tried their sushi and it tasted extremely fresh. If you are looking for a sushi spot that is fresh and simple then this is definitely the place to go. My friend informed me the rice bowls were delicious as well. I will be back to visit soon and write an even more detailed review. read more

this food is PRISTINE. i think it is made out of clouds and a magical vegetable farm in the sky. oh and fish. it's not cheap but it's priced reasonably. they have a small menu but many good vegetarian options. and they have gluten free soy sauce. small venue with only counter seating. read more

Silver Rice - avocado cucumber roll, salmon kombu roll, miso soup. - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fast delivery and great prices! My go to sushi delivery in Brooklyn! Go for the rice cups. Highly recommend.

When I read that two Japanese guys who had been thinking about opening a food joint for years finally opened this place, I was super curious/excited even though we have really great options for sushi with Taro and Gen within walking distance. We ended up ordering in two chirashi bowls -- the Alaskan (salmon- $13.75) and the FIsherman's Bowl ($15.95) which has several different fish, avocado, eel, eggs, sort of like a tiny sushi combo in a bowl. The food ended up being very Japanese. The bowls and fish pieces are pretty petite, but everything was perfectly prepared. We ordered the flax rice and were blown away by how well prepared the rice was. It's crazy addictive. I wanted to swim in a vat of that rice eating my way through it. The fish was super fresh, and the farmer's bowl was delicious. We made a pact to eat half and then switch, but I secretly ate way more than half, tunneling underneath the sashimi to get more rice. Let's be honest, a hungry me could easily eat both bowls in one sitting. The food is really spectacular and worth the bit of a splurge. Next time, I may secretly order a second bowl all for myself. P.S. Look at the hours! Thinking that since this place is casual, I thought it'd be open for lunch, but I found the guys hard a work making the perfect rice for dinner instead. read more

The ingredients are so fresh and so clean. We had 4 different special sushi and each bite danced in my mouth with different textures and flavors, perfectly balanced. For the quality and craft of the food and ingredients, it's very fairly priced. They're getting their liquor license soon and word is spreading of their amazingness so hurry and get there before it's too packed!! read more

See all

I contend this is the best new place in the neighborhood - especially now that they serve beer (and sake coming soon!) and they have nice outdoor seating. Why is this place so great? Let me count the ways: 1. Lovely service - the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You can also tell that they work super hard and that this food is their passion. 2. Fresh food - the sushi here is first rate. I also love their bowls, miso soups, and side salads. 3. Interesting and innovative options - they have interesting sushi roll combinations, bowls or cups, and sides. They use some ingredients that I've never even head of - but that were so good. They also have a lot of vegetarian options which are just as good as the fish based options. 4. Nice outdoor seating - for the warmer months, they've placed about 6 tables outside so you can people watch up and down Franklin ave. So in conclusion - this is my new favorite spot in the area. I can't wait for my next trip there. read more

I am not an easy 5-star person, but after my fourth visit to silver rice in 4 weeks, I decided it was only right. Franklin ave has been in desperate need of some good sushi, and Silver Rice hits the spot. For what it does Silver Rice does an amazing job. The fish is fresh, the rice is perfect, the takeaway appetizers are tasty. The rice bowls and chirashi bowls are delicious. There are no inside seats, which makes the patio all the more sweet in the summer months. Excited to see where these guys go in the future! read more

The most awesome sushi ever! Everything's so fresh and made with love. I think the Silver Rice Cups are awesome, it's so delicious with that spicy mayo. Also love the special rolls, they're so big they don't fit in your mouth. The chef is so nice and attentive. I like the design and the style but they really need an air condition and more places to sit! We'll definitely come back read more

Silver Rice - Silver Rice cups, avocado/crab roll, tuna special roll and another special roll, I forgot the name :-) so good - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Depending on what you get, the food is absolutely fantastic and fresh for the price! I also love that the owners are straight up Japanese. That said I would definitely suggest any of the Silver rice cups. I generally would stay away from the rolls personally as I find them to be on the slightly expensive side. Knocking off a star just because I noticed they're changing up who mans the cashier a bit but I'm not a fan of the snooty white girl. I get that's your clientele and all, but would it kill you to wipe a sneer off your face? read more

I live in Park Slope but this place is definitely worth the short walk over! I really enjoy that the menu is diverse, offering up a lot of delicious options in addition to their wonderful sushi rolls. I am currently really obsessed with the unagi cup, the macrobiotic roll, and the kale and crab miso soup. They also always have specials and seasonal menu items, meaning I'll never have a "usual" order here as there seem to always be new things to try! I was very excited to hear about their recent addition of deliveries, so hopefully I don't live out of range! But even if I do this place is always a pleasure to visit as the staff is very friendly. Bottom line: there truly is something for every sushi lover whether you enjoy vegetarian, spicy, or just traditional and well executed Japanese fare. The space is small, but I've really enjoyed my meals on the (now enclosed and decorated with cute string lights) patio space. read more

On hold... still. Ordered from postdates which said delivered 20 minutes ago, went downstairs nothing. It said 40-55 minutes, it's been over an hour and not being able to contact them is ridiculous! Hopefully it comes. My card was charged. read more

If you're a salmon sushi/sashimi fan, the Alaskan bowl is as good as it gets. It's $14, and comes with a large portion of uber-fresh sliced salmon on top of white or flaxseed rice (it's amazing what a difference good rice makes), with some sliced onions and soy to add. This is one of my favorite quick Seamless or pickup meals in the area. If you're dining in, the ambiance is definitely casual, as others have noted. I've had some of the rolls as well, which are fine, but the bowl is where it's at if you want a filling meal without breaking the bank on multiple rolls. read more

This is a really neat and fun take to change up your traditional sushi. The key option here is their focus on bowls/cups with sushi and rice vs. having traditional rolls - which they still do as well. I had ordered a spicy tuna and a salmon bowl here, both which were excellent. The shop itself is a little small, but there is a nice outdoor section you can stay out in, if weather permits. read more

Unassuming. Unpretentious. Affordable. Friendly. All while being the best sushi I've ever had. My limited descriptive vocabulary was more obvious as only profanity came to mind after I took my first soul-satisfying bite of their macrobiotic roll. When you visit Silver Rice, get it! You'll want to tell your friends about it. My only fear is it is too good and my no-wait will turn into an hour linger outside on any given night. But I guess that's good for SR and for my neighborhood I love so dearly. read more

2nd time they mess up my order! I ordered a rice cup w/salmon, I got my cup of rice w/TWO, literally 2 small pieces of salmon!! Who orders that!?!? seriously!? & is that even in your menu!?!? You'd think that if there's a misunderstanding during the order process they'd ask for clarification, but no! My 2 pieces of salmon were delicious! Thanks for an awesome dinner Silver Rice! read more

Silver Rice - I ordered a rice cup w/salmon, this is what i got x( Seriously Silver Rice!? Who orders a cup of rice w/ TWO pieces of salmon!?? - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

There is super limited seating--this is really a place for take-out! But if this was a real restaurant with seating I'd give it five stars. There are only six spots in tightly crammed bar stools inside and outside there are some patio tables if the weather is nice. I went to have a sit-down sushi dinner and was surprised by this, and yelp mobile lead us astray. However, the food was on point! The sesame seeds on the rolls are a nice touch, and they don't have brown rice but have another type of better for you rice at no additional cost. The CA roll was $6.50, the spicy salmon roll was $5.95. They have a variety of good looking soups on rotation, sad to have missed the pumpkin soup when I went as they were out. I'll definitely go again, but for take-out! read more

Silver rice is delicious, consistent, and so reasonably priced. Would give more stars if it was possible.

The food tastes fresh! On my first time there, I ordered the Chirashi Farmer's bowl. I was impressed with the quality and I was back within a week for a macrobiotic roll, which exceeded my expectations. Good for the price, for a Brooklyn sushi joint. The service was very friendly and courteous. Despite the small space, they made a good effort in creating an ambience that kept it from looking like just a hole in the wall, plus they have an awning with seats outside for the summer. read more
