Circle Tower always has so many restaurants and it's usually pretty hard to choose. So, most people just randomly press an elevator button and enter into that random restaurant. On that day, I did just that. Randomly pressed a button and entered.Katsuhachi is a new Japanese restaurant. I didn't know it was new until the staff told me so.

Katsuhachi is a new Japanese restaurant. I didn't know it was new until the staff told me so. They seemed to be enthusiastic about everything. The place quickly filled up during lunch hour, so it was a good sign. The restaurant was simple enough though it looked familiar. Then I realized it was once the spot of the Kyo Japanese restaurant that I had come to last year for my birthday. It seems that it closed and this place has taken over. I guess they didn't really change the decor.
Lunch menu is extensive and all under $200. Menu is both English and Chinese. There are no photos of the food. You get your basic Japanese sets. All sets include an appetizer, salad and miso soup. It seemed like a pretty good deal. But how was the food? I ordered the executive set lunch set where you can choose two different items.
The staff gave me a glass of Kyoho grape juice. It was not sweet and had a distinct grape taste. They kept refilling my glass of grape juice. I don't know if this is due to the fact they are new but pretty good service anyways. Hope this continues in the future.
Executive lunch set for one ($108). The executive lunch set included an appetizer, salad and miso soup. The menu said I could choose two items from to create the set so I chose five assorted sushi and truffle sushi rice.
Truffle sushi rice came with a raw quail egg to mix with the rice. It also had a lot of truffle paste so you really smelled the pungent truffle smell. There was also flying fish roe, spring onions and crab sticks. Mixing it all up was pretty delicious. Portion size was generous.
Salad was fresh and crisp. It was dressed with sesame salad dressing. Portion size was also generous.
Braised pork cubes was tasty enough. There were a lot of pieces to poke about. Texture was springy and had a touch of heat without being too spicy. Nicely done.
Five assorted sushi was whatever the chef considers fresh for the day. What I got was hamichi, salmon, red snapper, scallop and sweet shrimp. The sushi was fresh. Portions were large especially the sweet shrimp. Rice portion was small and packed together well to not fall apart. This was pretty good sushi and definitely unexpected for this price range.
Miso soup was ok. Nothing exciting to talke about.
End of my meal, they said lunch sets included dessert (even though it wasn't noted on the menu). Today's dessert was pineapple ice cream. When queried if it was homemade, they said no. But it tasted ok anyways.
Pretty good deal for lunch as food quality was excellent. Portions generous. Prices under $200. Service was friendly. As they are newly opened, they are currently waving the 10% service charge during lunch. Will be back.Should also note that they have free wifi. Ask for the password and they will give it to you. The wifi is excellent. Super fast and doesn't break.
