Silver Rice

"The bad news: when you order takeout from Silver Rice, a walk-up window in Crown Heights, you will receive it in a paper bag that reads, “Sushi Made Me Do It.” The good news: the sushi is worth the embarrassment. Silver Rice pioneered something called the Silver Rice Cup, which is essentially a takeout coffee cup full of warm sushi rice and fish of your choosing. (We like the spicy salmon with big chunks of buttery fish.) It’s a genius invention that was made for the couch. photo credit: Alex Staniloff" - Willa Moore

"It always is amazing how hard it is to find good sushi in New York, but Silver Rice definitely stands out. Their inside space may be small, but their heart is big. The freshness of the fish and ingredients they use combined with the courteous staff make Silver Rice always a treat for delivery, pick-up, or eating on the their patio." - Kyle & Annie Turman

"We get tired of hearing ourselves complain about NYC’s lack of reasonably-priced, quality sushi (hence this guide), but Silver Rice does it extremely well. They've got chirashi bowls and rolls, plus their signature “cups” filled with sashimi and rice (aka a “sushi snack on the go”). Yep, they just invented a new genre and it's delicious." - katherine lewin

"Silver Rice is a small, fast-casual spot in Crown Heights that works for lunch or dinner when you’re looking for quality sushi that will be ready very quickly. Besides whichever rolls look good, definitely get the fisherman’s bowl, which is a bunch of different types of fish and vegetables over crispy flaxseed rice." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren

"High-quality, super-affordable sushi from a very tiny, very cute restaurant. With outdoor seating. We find ourselves thinking about Silver Rice pretty much every time we find ourselves with a craving for sushi. So, a lot. And if you want to enjoy your fish on-the-go? That’s what their signature (genius) sushi cups are made for." - katherine lewin
