Review of Silver Rice

Silver Rice was a pre-celiac favorite and I was so glad to be able to order from there again. In person, their menu indicates which items are GF. When ordering online, that menu does NOT indicate which items are gluten free, but I called and asked them for the info and they kindly texted me a photo of the menu. When placing my digital order I made a note of the Celiac and they sent a GF soy sauce a packet with my order, which was a nice indicator that they actually read my note.

For cross contact issues, avoiding anything crispy will be important. I also avoided the wasabi because I wasn’t confident that it didn’t have gluten (unfortunately sometimes it does). Ordered the spicy tuna bowl and did not have any reaction.

Their menu does note that they prepare everything in a shared kitchen and therefore cannot 100% guarantee safety for severe allergies. That said, that’s true of most NYC restaurants unless they’re dedicated gluten-free. After talking to someone on the phone and making notes on my digital order, as well as using some discretion in what I ordered, I felt it was a pretty safe choice regardless of the shared kitchen.
