REXBURG — Taste the Aloha spirit with the best Hawaiian food this side of the Big Island at Kainoa’s Hawaiian Grill in Rexburg.
Since 2018, Kainoa’s has been making waves in the Rexburg cuisine scene, offering authentic Hawaiian-style plate lunches and unique fusion dishes for the entire ohana.
Conveniently located across from Porter Park at Hemming Village in Rexburg, the Hawaiian restaurant is owned by Jeremy and Rochelle Claridge. They moved to Rexburg from southern Arizona six years ago and brought Kainoa’s to Idaho.
“We want our customers to taste the quality when they eat it,” Jeremy said. “We don’t go cheap on ingredients. We buy the expensive meat; we buy the expensive chicken.”
The Wipeout is one of Kainoa’s most popular dishes. It features five types of meat: misoy chicken, bulgogi beef, chicken katsu, fried spam, and kalua pork.
“When you go to Hawaii, this is what would be considered a Hawaiian plate lunch,” Jeremy said. “You’ll get some meats like this and some sides — white sticky rice and mac salad is pretty much what you’re going to find.”
The restaurant is open from 1030 a.m. to 9 p.m. at 115 South 2nd West in Rexburg. Check out or follow them on Facebook.
“You can come in here and feel like you’re getting a bit of the islands,” Jeremy said.
