I bought a Groupon and tried to use it at Silhouette. When I got there, I was told that I could only use the Groupon in evening time. So my friend and I decided to give a try at lunch. We were very disappointed with the food there. We did not finish it and decided not to go back.

A Jewel in Downtown – My husband and I stumbled on Silhouette one evening when we were looking for a quick bite before a show at the Paramount. We now make Silhouette a part of our theatre nights. The service has always been quick, especially for a sushi restaurant. We've been several times and the service varies from adequate to great. Never had any complaints. The atmosphere is great. Very cool and calming. I love the cozy booths! The food is yummy. I travel to Tokyo often for work and I've had some fantastic sushi. The su... read more

Best sushi ever!!! – I love the atmosphere, friendly waitstaff, the bartenders Trent and Nate ae very attentive and funny, and the sushi is fresh, flavorful and absolutely amazing! There is a huge variety of both cooked and uncooked sushi, and they have a sushi and drink happy hour all day Monday and every day from 5 to 7. I highly recommend the Lychee Martini.

Worst Sushi I Have Ever Had – I have been to Silhouette several times over the years. Generally, the sushi was below average but it was close to my work. It had been at least a year since I last stopped by but I decided to give it another shot (I had a sushi craving). It was the worst sushi I have ever had. I ordered the Sushi Combo A, 7 pieces chef's choice nigiri and a california roll. The avocado in the california roll was so ripe it squirted out of the roll as I bit into it. The nigiri included fake crab, the first time ... read more

Terrible Sushi – The sushi here is not great by any means. For the price I thought it would be awesome or even just okay...it was not. The rolls were nothing special and they were incredibly small. the fish in all of my rolls was almost non existing. The atmosphere was okay, pretty desolate though. I will never go back.

Not much – Maybe in 2009 the sushi was worthy of a Best of City Search, but not now. It wasn't awful just not that good.

A Hidden Jewel in the Open... – My wife and I have driven by this place many times and never knew it was there. We were walking downtown and stumbled on to it and decided to check it out. The restaurant is small and narrow in the front with tables for two, and towards the back opens up for tables with 4 or more guests. It has a very chill eclectic vibe to it but not too trendy. We sampled their baked mussel clams (very good; ask for the spicy version), seaweed salad, and miso soup - all good. I had the 15 piece sashim combo ... read more

So So – Service has been lackluster, but it depends on which waitress you receive. One seemed absolutely clueless and provided the poorest service I have ever seen, but the waitress with glasses was prompt and knowledgeable. She took orders quickly and brought food in a short amount of time. The sushi itself is generally served warm, which is not very good. The rice doesn't seem fresh. I also discovered a bone in my salmon role, which is a first for me. The price is nice, especially on Monday happy hours. Not one of the best... read more

this place is definitely not for everyone! it's an eclectic atmosphere, and requires a certain kind of attention to be fully appreciated for what it is. from the walls to the people this place is beautiful, however i have been selective about who i invite to join me here for dinner. it's not a suit / tie place. downside- they literally only serve sushi. it's very simple and traditional, and there are little to no other meat or fusion dishes. upside- they literally only serve sushi! and i would guess that's the reason the fis... read more
