I had a late work shift so met boyfriend for lunch at 風流居酒屋 (English name: Furyu Izakaya) so we can have Japanese before I headed for work.Like many restaurants in Circle Tower, they usually open at night and are izakayas but during the day, they offer very good value for money lunch sets.The layout of this restaurant is very simple.

Like many restaurants in Circle Tower, they usually open at night and are izakayas but during the day, they offer very good value for money lunch sets.
The layout of this restaurant is very simple. Spacious tables and chairs with a bar on one end.
Lunch time they have a lunch set menu. Menu is in Chinese and mostly English. All sets include a salad, miso soup and appetizer. They also have no 10% service charge at lunch! What a deal!
You can choose from the usual sushi sets.
Or grill sets. This is the only series that includes a free soft drink. The others you have to add $6 (or %8 for something fancier).
The most interesting is this one. For $120, you can mix and match your own meal by choosing one main, one rice or noodle based dish and one snack. I think this is the best deal of the entire menu!
The salad was pretty good. Fresh and crisp. Salad dressing was not over done.
The miso soup was so sweet! Lovely little bits of tofu could be found as well.
The appetizer was seaweed included umibodo (aka sea-grapes). This was surprising as an appetizer as it's not exactly commonly given out. This was a treat.
My friend ordered the assorted raw fish on rice ($180). The assorted fish was mostly tuna, amberjack and flying fish roe. The sashimi items were fresh and good quality. It was a decent portion as well.
I chose the $120 mix and match lunch set. My snack was deep fried chicken. This was piping hot! The coating was crispy, not too thick and well seasoned. The chicken meat was still juicy.
For the main I chose the daily grilled fish. Grilled perfectly, the meat was still moist and sweet.
For the rice/noodle element, I chose four pieces of sushi. It's odd they offer this and there is no white rice in this set but oh well. Sushi was just as good. The good variation of choices. There was salmon, hamachi, seared flounder and flying fish roe gunkanmaki. All were very fresh and decent quality. The rice was lightly seasoned as well.
It's surprising not more people ate here. The quality of ingredients was excellent. The food was well prepared. Service was nice and seating was comfortable. Price was decent and there is no 10%! I'll definitely be back.
