About
Located in a nondescript former railroad loading dock in the Arts District, R-23’s industrial exterior disguises a refined interior space with high ceilings, wood floors and exposed brick walls. The minimalist dining room is accented by oversized paintings of Gauguin-inspired nudes and Frank Gehry-designed cardboard chairs. At the counter, sushi chefs turn out colorful rolls and sashimi platters while the kitchen handles the cooked dishes, which show up as artfully arranged as their raw counterparts. Don’t miss the Dungeness crab salad and the sautéed bay scallops with shiitake mushrooms. If price is no object, go for the omakase (prix fixe chef’s choice meal of sushi and sashimi).
