Visit Lanai: Cafe 565

While in Lanai, we asked one of the Four Seasons concierges where would be a good place to have lunch in the city, and one of the recommendations was Cafe 565 for their Korean Katsu, so that's where we went!

Chicken Katsu and Korean Katsu 

Originally my husband and I were going to share a katsu plate, and we were going to order pizza for the kids, but after seeing how large one plate lunch was, we decided to just order the combo plate, which was enough to feed our family of 5.  

The Korean Katsu was good - the Korean sauce was very flavorful, but I actually liked the regular Chicken Katsu better - it was some of the best Chicken Katsu I've had anywhere!  The Macaroni Salad was some of the best I've ever had also!

Although we had to wait a while to put in our order, the server, Maria, exuded the aloha spirit.

Two of my sons were cranky and hungry and started to cry while waiting for our food. She then proceeded to give each of them a bag of chips and a can of juice - for free.

What a sweet gesture!

It was evident why locals go to and highly recommend Cafe 565 - delicious food, and service with aloha!
