Description

Japanese. Camouflaged in an industrial dowtown block, R-23 has been both a neighborhood favorite and a destination for over 15 years. The Frank Gehry-designed chairs of corrugated cardboard are a kick. Service is swift and discreet. Cuisine is a subtle, harmonious blend of the traditional and the innovative. Fish is so fresh you can almost see glistening flecks of sea foam. Standout dishes are succulent Dungeness crab salad, with generous mounds of snowy crab-meat, and a light, tangy, yuzu dressing, and yellowtail sashimi dotted with three different toppings.
