I hate to be the person to leave a bad review for a place that is highly rated and loved, but I am sorry to say I did not feel the same way about it. I ordered a couple of things off of seamless : the macro rolls (which were my favorite, nice unique taste), the fisherman's bowl (not a fan of) and the spicy tuna cup (which was not for me but I was told was not bad). This place is pricey but (especially for the portions) the food is fresh and comes in a nice arrangement. read more

Been waiting to try this place for months. Finally got to try it and I would definitely come back again. Their fisherman's bowl really hits the spot when you're craving some chirashi. However, I wish they sold it before 5pm as well. Overall the price is average and the fish is fresh. read more

Silver Rice - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Silver Rice is not your typical sushi restaurant. The quality is high, it is set up with very limited seating and all of the food is served in disposable cups and take out containers even if you dine in. It has a coffee shop feel even though you are eating sushi. I came on a Saturday during the day and there was a limited brunch menu. There were not that many choices on rolls or other items. I got a crab and kale miso soup which had a surprisingly large amount of crab.I also got the spicy salmon cup and a California roll with real crab. (Normally I would never get a California roll but there were not many choices and it was not imitation crab so it was pretty good). The quality of the food is excellent and the choices are more innovative than your run of the mill sushi joint. The food feels healthy and fresh and the service is pleasant. This is a post - gentrification restaurant and I don't mean that in a bad way. The reason I give four stars and not five is that I would like the dine in experience to be a little less casual. If I am spending a bit more on this quality, I would kind of like to sit and enjoy it out of something that isn't cardboard, read more

Still excellent every time. Macrobiotic roll. Explosion of flavors in your mouth. All chirashi bowls, spicy salmon cup, salmon kombu roll, burdock root side, all soups, miso and green tea ice creams.... read more

Silver Rice - Spicy salmon rice cup, macrobiotic roll, crab kale miso - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fresh fish, great prices. Everything is delicious, the cups, the rolls, the soups-- all yummy and fresh. Food is full of flavor and has lots of yummy texture. Love this place! read more

There have been so many new places to eat popping up in Crown Heights recently, and Silver Rice does not disappoint. The fish is fresh, they make their own house Sake, and it's run by Japanese people. They were super friendly as soon as I walked through the door, and whether you are there to pick up something quick already pre-made, or to order from their menu, the experience is all positive. It's a small space, but I think they've designed it well. Things to try: - The Chirashis (there are three but all great) - The Spicy Tuna and Salmon Cups - if you like Ungai (eel), I would suggest that cup as well but it's slightly more expensive. - The House Sake I don't think you can really go wrong with anything you get there. At the end of the day, it's about he quality of the fish and the overall experience. Silver Rice get's it right. read more

Silver Rice is a well curated Japanese spot serving a limited menu of your favorite rolls, salads, 'cups' (basically DonBurri Eel and Salmon cups) and other favorites with a post-gentrification price tag. Don't get me wrong the menu was solid, the sushi and the cup flavors were spot on and absolutely satiated my sushi craving, but it wasn't cheap. Although, is there a place that does cheap delicious sushi? I don't think so, if so please DM me ASAP. Silver Rice is incredibly popular, and so seating is very limited and kind of annoying to snag. Everything is served in paper cups or plating, and on a tray. It's a counter service restaurant, place, get your sauces, sit (or more likely, stand) until your order comes out. The eel and salmon were delicious and good quality. I couldn't help but feel like I was missing out as I hadn't ordered the Macrobiotic (beets instead of sushi!) as other folks were raving about it. I'll get it next time. I would give this place THREE stars if I were to compare it to other Japanese restaurants which have full menus, but there isn't much competition in the area. Big Plus is I heard they are opening another location down Flatbush Ave in PLG! read more

This is my go to sushi place. I love that they let you select to not have plastic silverware in your takeout. The fish, sake and toppings are all quality. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

I've been terrified to try sushi in Crown Heights. I just don't think anyone is going to haul fresh fish this far in. But wait! They have! And holy crap this is amazing food. I've been to Japan twice, and my friend owns one of the most popular sushi shops in Hiroshima, and he would approve of this place (except the rolls were a tad loose). Anyway, we had two of their special rolls (a tuna something and a salmon something) a yellowtail scallion roll off the basic menu and one other. I can never eat more than two rolls usually. but after splitting this with my husband I was dying for more! We should have eaten there so we could keep ordering. The whole experience was lovely. it seems to be run and owned by Japanese people (they were saying Onegaishimasu every time they handed the chef an order). They are polite, and have beer if you like while you wait for your meal. Outside seating is limited but we got a space and had an Asahi in the sun while we waited. The very sweet waitress brought our food out with a smile. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

Unbelievable delivery time! AMAZING! We ordered at around 6:05pm, the guy who took the order said it would take about 30-45 minutes to have our food delivered. I can understand that as it was dinner time and it was a weekend. But about 10-12 minutes more or less after I hung up the phone, our door bell rang. We all gave each other the look and thought the same thing, "don't tell me it's the food guy". And it was!! Arrived nice and hot in a neat package. Next, we wondered if the food would taste good since they made it so quickly. Oh, by the way, we are located only about 5 blocks away from them. But still, it was super fast considering, and the food was GOOD. The containers of food looked small when we took them out of the bag - or maybe we were just famished. But halfway through, our bellies were filled. So glad we found this place today. We just wish that the menu or food selection would increase/expand. But then again, we don't want the quality of food to be compromised if they offer too large a variety. I think we'd rather they keep the menu small if it means the food will remain delicious forever. read more

Real Japanese food by real Japanese people. Very cool modern decor with reasonable prices. The place is pretty tiny though, so if you can't snag a table outdoors or one of the 6 or so bar seats inside, you might have to settle for takeout. Definitely get the spicy silver rice cups. It comes in a medium-sized coffee cup, and it's a rice base topped with a generous scoop of salmon or tuna, finished off with a delicious spicy mayo (better than your usual) and some scallion and avocado. The only problem is that the layering combined with the full and narrow cup makes it a bit difficult to get at the rice for even fish/rice distribution. If you're taking it home, it's better to pour it all out into a bowl of sorts. The flaxseed rice is really tasty and basically just gives your standard sushi rice a little pizzaz. The chirashi is okay, but it was mostly rice and not a whole lot of fish. I'd go with two rice cups or a rice cup and a roll over the chirashi. read more

Glad to see this open up in the area. It's a small shop so have only taken out food. Service was friendly and helpful despite my scattered over the phone queries.The to-go packaging was simple and clinical. Had the salmon kombu (interesting), hijiki salad (yes! Lotus roots were a plus), fisherman chirashi, and the miso ice cream (kind of like a salty caramel). Only drawback was the chirashi. I think portions and variety are better at Gen, though more expensive. There was only a few slices of fish. Otherwise, fish was fresh and will order again, just not the chirashi. read more

I've never found a sushi restaurant that offers different chirashi dishes, which seem to be their specialty. I ordered the Fisherman's Bowl, it's as awesome as it looks; bonus is they use REAL crab meat. No alcohol served but I over heard the owner say BYOB is allowed. I'm really excited this place is in Crown Heights. Look forward to coming again! read more

Silver Rice - The Fisherman's bowl. Incase your wondering, that's REAL crab meat! It was scrumptious! - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Silver Rice marks the second great sushi addition to the neighborhood (another good option is the sushi bar in the back of Pine Tree Grocery), but is first in my heart due to their giant rolls, affordable prices, and the glorious SILVER RICE CUP. What is a Silver Rice cup? Prepare yourself to drown in delicious salmon or spicy tuna ecstasy all out of an every day coffee cup. It comes with a generous layer of perfectly done rice, topped with salmon or spicy tuna, mayonnaise, and scallions. I do, however, recommend eating it either at the store or in the comfort of your own home. Walking down the street pulling raw fish out of a coffee cup is bound to get you some weird glances. For those who are interested, Silver Rice is also happy to ensure items are gluten free, and offers Tamari in addition to traditional soy sauce. As a heads up for those with children- the interior is very small and difficult to seat more than 4-6 people at any given time; however, outdoor seating is available. read more

Tasty affordable spot totally worth checking out. Everything is always fresh and tasty. Especially love the Unagi Rice Cup and the Shrimp Dumpling Miso Soup! read more

Fresh and delicious! I can eat their California rolls all day. I order atleast once a week and finally decided to leave a review. They're a great addition to the neighborhood and for the price point you absolutely can't go wrong. Enjoy! read more

After reading the great reviews I was looking forward to trying this place. I ordered a farmer's bowl and some sushi rolls for pickup. My biggest disappointment was the temperature. The fish was so cold it hurt my teeth (even after a 10 minute car ride) and the rice was extremely dry. The rolls felt like Whole Foods rolls that have been sitting on a refrigerator shelf for too long. The rice on the bowl was so dry and hard it did not mix with any of the other ingredients. And the spicy rolls were not spicy. The simplicity of the menu was a surprise. At first I thought "less is more" but after trying the food I realized this was not the case. I give it three stars because the fish seemed to be quite good but I'll stick to my cheap Japanese where I know what to order to be satisfied for a lot less. read more

I come here minimum once per week. This is the best sushi I've had anywhere in the world... disclaimer: I haven't been to Japan. But I have been to many a sushi restaurant. Everyone here is friendly. The fish is fresh and whatever they do to the rice is perfection. The ginger is uncolored as it should be. My favorite meal is to get the spicy tuna cup and a salmon avocado roll. That way you get the spicy with the fresh and it's a good balance. They also have good vegan options... I like the Farmer's Bowl. It's a small, cozy place. The atmosphere is pleasant. read more

Silver Rice is a unique sushi concept. It's a welcome addition to this neighborhood, and delivers solid, high-quality food. With a few added improvements, it will be a top-notch place to get sushi in Brooklyn. The good: the food is very good, and stylistically prepared using quality ingredients. The fish is always fresh and delicious. Their menu is not that of a typical NYC sushi restaurant, and that's a good thing. The bowls and cups are a fresh take on standard sushi fare. One of the highlights is the rice--it's amazing! I'm not sure what they do to prepare it, but it tastes better than most high priced sushi spots in the city. In addition to the food, the space is well curated and aesthetically appealing, despite its small size. Room for improvement: the place can be really slow and has inconsistent customer service, especially if you dine in. I have experienced missed/incomplete orders, staff who are not sufficiently versed in the menu, and unfriendly or aloof attitudes behind the register. There typically appears to be more people in the kitchen than most restaurants of that size, yet sometimes it can take 15-20 minutes to get your order for pickup or dine-in. Perhaps this is due to organizational deficiencies, however in order for this place to continue to succeed it should improve in this area. read more

Favorite sushi in the neighborhood and maybe even in the city. Spicy salmon cup is the perfect little meal. Speed of preparation, quality of product and functional/modern aesthetic are completely on point. Great for quick dining-in or takeout/delivery. Been eating Silver Rice on a near-weekly basis for over a year and have never been disappointed. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Food is good. A bit pricey I have gotten Poke style food for much cheaper and more food. Hours are not good for lunch. They cater more so for dinner, opens after 5pm. Wish they would open for lunch time or at least allow for delivery. read more

THE BEST SUSHI SPT IN BROOKLYN. PERIOD. + everyone that works there including Keita rules. Thank you!

Hands down my fav sushi joint in the neighborhood. Never had a bad meal. I eat there 2 to 3 times a week and only wish they would deliver to my block. read more

I'm a huge fan of their spicy salmon cup. The sushi rice is perfect and served at the ideal temperature. The fish is fresh and quite good. At $6.50 for a decent sized lunch? Count me in! The miso ice cream, like everyone says, is amazing. Very much like salted caramel, but lighter and more refreshing. read more

What a cute little gem! Found it on a whim wishing for sushi and this was awesome! It's such a tiny little place but so cutely appointed and the space is used very efficiently. The sushi is oversized and very very fresh! We had a few rolls and the Seafood Bowl (I think it was called "Fisherman's Bowl"), a shrimp dumpling miso soup and it was all SOOO good! The fish was so fresh and yummy, the rice texture was perfect, the dumplings were so perfectly filling bite-sized chunks of goodness. The ambiance is adorable, the counter service is VERY quick (mostly self-service) and the food comes out very quickly. It's not a place to sit around long because it's so small but for a quick dinner or takeout it's absolutely perfect! The buzz is justified- this place rocks! read more

I had the salmon cup with miso on the side, and my wife had the farmer's bowl. Everything was delicious and well prepared! The service was really quick, too. I'm knocking off one star for one reason only; it seems to be a bit pricy for the quantity it offers. The miso soup is priced just fine, but the cups seem to be over priced by $1 and the bowls by $2. All that said, the *quality* is definitely there, and we'll be back for sure! read more

Really, really good. I got one of the chirashi bowls and it looked a bit small at first, but it was packed with goodness for what is actually a few dollars cheaper than a chirashi at a traditional sushi restaurant. This place is really small, and they're still working some service kinks out, but look: the bottom line is, this is cheap-ish, fresh, quality sushi served fast and with a creative touch. Bravo. read more

What a cool spot. We snagged a table in the heated tented entryway and dove face first into rice cups, rolls and bowls. If you want something filling (not to mention portable) on the cheap, the rice cup is calling your name. Sure, it's mostly rice, but there's a healthy serving of fish on top and boy, is it tasty. If I lived/worked in BK I'd be getting these all the time. Quick, casual, decently priced. Check it out. read more

Spicy salmon rice cup and rolls are delicious. However they run out of fish quite early in the evening. In fact call ahead to see what's still fresh and available. They have a card that they begin to cross out as soon as it hits 7pm on a week night. I went around 8:45pm on Weds and they are all out of spicy salmon and yellowtail. The cashier promised they will order more fish. Right now they can't deliver on a three mains on the menu. How can a sushi place run out of salmon?! Sake and beer available. read more

Silver rice, I love you. Your fresh ingredients, impeccable presentation and abundance of ginger have won me over. I recently moved to the area and order/pick up from here about once a week now. So happy to have good sushi nearby. Xoxoxoxo read more

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

I HIGHLY recommend this place!! Soooo fresh and so good! I got the spicy salmon cut roll and the spicy tuna cup. The fish just melted in my mouth and everything was so delicious. Delivery was also extremely fast!! read more

Get the flaxseed rice w/ whatever you order...you can't taste the difference but get the extra fiber. And btw, the rice is always perfect...who knew sushi rice could be so good? The tuna cup, farmers bowl, miso soup (w/ scallion and micro shrooms) salmon cup are great. I'm sad (ashamed,surprised?) to report that I've never had a California roll with real crab before Silver Rice--it's excellent. The roll with beet pate was a little sweet for me, but I appreciated the concept of it and I'm prob more sensitive to sweet foods than most. Overall, best fresh raw sushi and seafood in the area by a long shot. It's a different level. read more

This is very nice food here, place nice but small, little uncomfortable seats. Food delicious, the staff is friendly and professional. Prices very affordable, been here from a friend recommended and really enjoyed. 4 stars only because of tables and seats can be better. read more

The Fisherman's Bowl is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. (My cat can't resist the smell, either, whenever I order in.) I love the spicy salmon cup, and the rolls are always fresh and delicious. One of the few places in the neighborhood that uses real crab meat. It's a little pricey, but worth it for the quality. read more

I really wish they would open for lunch and in Bushwick. Gods, I love this place. Never had anything that wasn't amazing.

This place is so good, reasonably priced (for vegetarians) and it is dangerously close to my apartment. They have great vegetarian/vegan options like the Macrobiotic Roll (I have to learn how to make that beet pate because it is too good!!!). The vegetable version of their signature Silver Rice cup is also cheap, delicious, and a great option for a light lunch (great for first-timers). Their lotus root side dish and hijiki salad are also great! Have their hoji hot tea on a chilly night. The service is also very friendly but think twice about sitting inside to eat as the space is very small and can be uncomfortable. read more

Clean fresh delicious food, and great customer service. I'm happy that I got the chance to try Sliver Rice.

The only Sushi place I trust in Brooklyn, always fresh, always delightful and exceptional quality food. The Shrimp Miso was a great way to warm up. Mild taste and lovely. The REAL Crab California roll was an awesome authentic sushi roll. I'll be going back for more. read more

Probably one of my favorite parts of living in the neighborhood. Amazing sushi at not very steep prices. If I'm hungry I'll get one of their seafood bowls (so delicious!) or my other favorite is the macrobiotic roll - I've never been much of a fan for vegan sushi but this one is truly delicious. Their spicy tuna roll is also delicious. The cups are pretty cool, but a little weird to eat because the stuff is at top and all the rice is at the bottom and its a pretty narrow cup. Also I highly recommend getting the flaxseed rice - it's just white rice with bits of flaxseed in it and I feel like it makes it even more delicious. The menu isn't huge and most of it is very basic, which I think helps with the quality. They have a great sake selection as well. Service is pretty minimal, you just order and pay at the counter and then they bring out your order. Part of the reason I love going here by myself as well. read more

I like this place. I came for lunch. One thing to consider is the lunch menu only has a few options. I got the spicy salmon cup which was nice and creamy and just spicy enough. The miso soup that came with was a bit better than ur basic miso. If you want a lot of options or a kid friendly place don't come here, there is only outdoor seating and high bar stools. But they make what they make well, it's worth a try. read more
