The high-end Japanese restaurant Okesutora in Midtown closed less than a year after opening its doors last October. However, the owners are already working on a new concept across the street. A liquor license for a new concept called Reaux was filed for 1818 L St. Ste 100. This news was first reported in the Sacramento Business Journal.

The liquor license for Reaux is a Type 48 license, which is usually issued to bars and nightclubs without on-site food services. What Now Sacramento reached out to the operators for more details regarding the upcoming concept’s offerings but hadn’t heard back by the time of this coverage. If that is the case, Reaux would likely be the only drink-only establishment on the block.

CEO Mymy Nguyen, whose restaurant group also owns SitLo Saigon, Saigon 88, and Saigon Alley Kitchen + Bar, which is expanding to Folsom in 2025, as reported here by What Now Sacramento. Other eateries near the address include Zocalo Mexican restaurant, Paesanos, India Gate Cuisine, Jack’s Urban Eats, and Alaro Craft Brewery.
