Hideki & Sonny
Two friends from Nagoya.
One free pizza.
Silver Rice is run by Hideki and Sonny — longtime friends from Nagoya, Japan, who first met over free pizza at a hostel in Chelsea. That accidental dinner turned into a friendship, and the friendship turned into a sushi shop.
In March 2014 they opened Silver Rice in Crown Heights: a made-to-order sushi counter built around one simple belief — good food needs love. A second shop in Lefferts Gardens followed.
Ten-plus years later, we’re still rolling every order when you place it, one cup and one roll at a time.
