Here's the good: the sushi is very good, the Moco Loco is authentic and delicious, the hamburgers are amazing (better than most places), pretty much anything I have ordered is good. Here's the bad: You will wait and wait for your food. Then you will wait and wait for your check. They simply don't have enough staff. Bottom line: great food, decent atmosphere, friendly staff - but takes too long. We have chosen to eat elsewhere on evenings when we have to pay attention to time. read more

The food is GREAT! We love da mixed plate and the sushi is amazing. I ordered online and the guy taking my order put me on hold to "go and ask the kitchen how long my order would take" he said 15-20 mins. Okay.... Around the 15 min mark we went in and it took at lease 5 minutes before anyone even spoke to me. Someone asked why I was there I said a pick up order they said they'd go check on it and never came back. 10mins later I talked to another server who said the same thing-- Left and never came back. Finally a third person asked me if I'd already been helped and when I said yes they just walked away. I eventually just left. 15 mins later they called me to tell me my food was ready. I don't understand why they make such a big deal about going to ask the kitchen how long the food will take only for it to take double the time than the kitchen said. I originally thought it was a one off but when we went back today it was the exact same experience. It's the most odd experience and you will walk away feeling like a burden to their service. I don't think we'll be back despite how good the food is. read more

It looks like I'm not the only one in the reviews warning people about To Go orders... My boyfriend & I came in on a Friday night for dinner. We expected a busier than normal wait time but to say we left disappointed is definitely an understatement. I walked in with the intention of placing a to go order because of the amount of people waiting outside. There are no counters designated to assist people as they walk in so I stood near the welcome sign for about 10 minutes. Numerous staff members looked at me stand there but no one came to greet me. I finally just decided to walk to the sushi counter where I had to say, "excuse me" about 4 times before the young lady behind the counter acknowledged that I was talking to her. I said that I wanted to place a takeout order and she said she would come around the counter to take my order. She didn't. But she did send someone else a few minutes later so whatever. Upon ordering, I placed my order with the waiter and he said he was going into the kitchen to check how long it would take. He came back & stated our food would be ready in "20-25 minutes". Great. At this point I walked back to my car and waited. I sent my boyfriend in 25 minutes later. He had the same experience upon entering - no one acknowledged him for at least 5 minutes. When a waitress finally spike to him, he told them the name that was on the order. She went to the back, charged his card and came back without our food. Instead, she continued to wait on tables. He flagged her down and asked again. She went back to the kitchen and sent someone else to tell my boyfriend our order would be another 10 minutes. At this point, we're 20 minutes past our quoted time. He let me know what was going on and I told him to come back to the car. 15 minutes later, I walked back in...again, not to be greeted by any of the staff members but I knew better. I immediately spoke to the first staff member I saw and told them I am picking up my order and we have been waiting far longer than anticipated. The gentleman who originally helped said it would be another 5 minutes. Look, I understand that you're busy...but the ridiculous wait time and severe lack of quality customer service is unacceptable. I was born & raised in Hawai'i and customer service like this at a "Hawaiian" restaurant is not okay... Over an hour after our quoted wait time, we got our food and went home to eat. Da Mix Plate was fine. The steak was definitely overcooked. The kalua pig was good but that's about it. Everything else was subpar. My boyfriend's tiki burger was dry and overcooked - he said the best part was the onion rings. He actually ended up getting food poisoning from the burger. To summarize my very long story - we won't be back. read more

Other posts talked about how the staff would wait on others, even though the were is their seats first, and this very much true. The city it's in - Rexburg - is home to Brigham Young - Idaho, and a family of LDS came in after us and not only were they attended to slightly before us, their appetizers were served first. This being said beings said, as we aren't LDS, we have accepted this as being kind of a normal habit, where LDS family are given preference, BUT it isn't that they are being indigent to us but it seems to be a culture issue. The difference in the service was mere minutes. The food was good and the server (Hanna) was even better! Highly recommended!! read more

Takes forever to get food. Watched the boss lady chew her staff out for something very loudly with seemed wildly unprofessional to me. The way they have their staff approach you and ask you to Leave a review is strange. It's just a very strange place... read more

While I thought the sushi and miso soup was good, waiting over an hour to get your food is not acceptable. It took over an hour for us to get our sushi. There were only two wait staff and two cooks from what I could tell. Believe me when I say while the sushi was good it's not worth the wait, go somewhere else. read more

Soooooo good, makes your mouth water! This is my favorite place in Rexburg to eat now. My wife convinced me to go with some friends. We all split some sushi and of course when I saw the curry katsu I couldn't resist. Any time we go on a date night now one of us mentions Da Pineapple Grill! Give it a shot, you won't regret it. read more

Da Pineapple Grill - Chicken Curry Katsu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

Food was super good, but service is awful. Such a shame. Took us nearly an hour and a half to get our food and there was just two of us. There was a party of four and another of two that down before us and had eaten, paid, and left before we got our drinks. Not too sure why it happened, but it did. Once again, great food, but that wait is killer read more

I was very impressed with this place and the service we received. First off our waiter was trying his best, and was so kind, and he was super awesome! It would be hard to have lots of customers and servicing and making sure every order is correct, so I do appreciate his hard work, and all he did! He also was so kind and gave us a discount for waiting a long time. Second, the sushi is so good and I do recommend ordering and asking lots of questions about what the favorites are and what do add and not add. The sushi was fresh, and was made to taste good! I was satisfied with every roll I had. Sorry I don't remember them, but anything there sushi was the best! Third. If you are craving for curry Kutsu, totally worth you time to order that! It was so delicious! And my husband is very picky on his curry as he can't have seafood. They were also good about food allergies and we had no issues with it! We did enjoy our night with friends and with each other. Lastly, if you go, shoot for when they open they do get packed really fast! So the earlier the better! read more

This has become a staple for my wife and I's weekly date night! We've had a few poor experiences where customers that have came in after us were allowed to order before we were as well as a time when a couple sitting close to us that had came in after us got their food before we had been approached by a waiter. Setting that aside, the sushi, edamame and gyoza we have had have all been top quality and delicious! I really wanted to leave another 4 star review for those moments of poor service mentioned above, but the sushi is just so good that it makes it worth the 5 stars. read more

Good food. Decent service. It compared to big city cuisine. Delicious. A go-again place.

I would give this place infinity stars!! So impressioned!!! Came here on the reviews from Google. Its definetly a diamond in the rough. Friendly servers, amazing food & fun inviting music!! I got miso soup that was so good, I'm gonna have to try and make it like that. I also got the curry that reminded me of my childhood. Bro-in-law got fries that were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We ordered to-go food for the next day too. I'm very glad that we were able to find this diamond. read more

Yum yum yummy! Great Sushi and was very pleased to find such a great spot in Rexburg. Salad, soup and the five rolls were delicious! Large rolls and all yummy! Also, everything we saw going to other tables was amazing looking. Had the following rolls: Ezeena, Johnny Lingo, Coconut Shrimp, Volcano and Big Kahuna. Hannah was our waitress and got everything right and spot on. She kept our water full. We did family style where everything comes out as it gets ready and worked wonderfully for us. read more

Every roll was so yummyyyyy, we couldn't decide which one is best cuz they kept getting better!

Poor Service waited forever to get our To Go Order and Check. Server Forgot my Refill and just generally forgot we existed. Usually when I come here it is always great service but this time was terrible. read more

Right off the bat, get the Johnny Lingo! It's a great in house creation that is easily a favorite. The service was great and the wait was not bad, especially for a large group like ours, 15 people. Shayla, our waitress, went above and beyond to make sure our night was amazing. She was super nice and offered great recommendations to us. Great place to have an amazing sushi role. read more

Love it here. The food is always fantastic. My only complaint is the wait time, and their open hours, i wish they were open for lunch! They have the best veggie tempura appetizer, and their sushi is delicious. Every roll i've tried has been great! read more

My husband and I came here on a whim on a Friday night, so it was probably busier than normal. However, it took about 10 minutes for a server to seat us and then another 20 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order. Luckily we ordered food at the same time or I'm sure we would've waited longer. About 45 minutes into the night another waitress walks over to us with menus. Seems like there was some confusion about which tables were being waited by whom. At this point it's been an hour since we've arrived and still no sight of our food. We have watched multiple people get up and leave because they were never served. When the food came out, it was a cold and not very good. The best thing was the katsu chicken. Other than that the food was definitely not worth the wait or the price. We won't be coming back here. read more

Ordered the Tiki burger and waited 30 minutes when 2 other customers in building and it IS NOT FRESH. The party was dry, tough, overcooked and cold. All i taste is charcoal burnt taste. What a complete disappointment. Don't put that on the menu if you can't try. It was actually the worst burger I've ever had, and I eat a lot of burgers. read more

Super awesome restaurant!! I ordered a few sushi rolls from there and it was so good. Haven't tried anything else yet but definitely going back! read more

Da pineapple Grill has pretty good Hawaiian food and sushi which can be hard to find in Idaho but they got it down pretty well. However if you find yourself waiting an eternity for the food don't be surprised. I don't know if there needs to be more chefs in the kitchen or what but I've always waited about an hour after ordering before the food comes out. If you don't mind the excessive wait the food is decent! read more

The life of a critic is both easy and difficult. We offer so little and yet still influence so much. Da pineapple grill is an experience that I enjoyed. Our cute waitress definitely made the visit enjoyable. The wait time was a bit long but for a restaurant short staffed I have had worse. The food was great. Grilled food was great although I can tell that the pulled pork was older. Being dry is common with many places when it come to the pork. The chicken was good the streak was good. I am from California and sushi there and here isn't comparable. For the price and the setting of college makes this restaurant a bit pricey. But if you take it as special occasion they have the best sushi in town. And great food. Besides that I would eat here more often if they had a cheaper lunch menu or more affordable options. read more

This spot was amazing, food was super delicious. The waiter(Shyala) was very helpful. They serve large quantity and quality food. read more

Hawaiian food is pretty nonexistent in Idaho, let alone Rexburg (AKA Middle of Nowhere). So of course I had to try this place out. Well it turns out its actually pretty good! Our server was super awesome! Very upbeat, happy and positive! She attended us as well as 4 other tables but we did not feel like we were waiting on her. The food was great! I do need to warn you its not true Hawaiian but its close! Kind of like Panda Express to actual Chinese food. I ordered a mix plate and it was pretty westernized but it was still good! So if you want something a little different try this place out! PS BEST CURRY IN REXBURG *cough*not "original" thai downtown*cough* read more

The sushi was super good and the mango salsa was even better! Unfortunately My husbands meal was completely missed and ended up getting our bill before his food. We did get a voucher but he was unable to eat for another 1.5 hours. read more

Da Pineapple Grill - salt and pepper shakers - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

To start off. I was in the mood for sushi or something filling but I knew I wasn't going to find it around Rexburg because it's always a miss for me. I'm from the Bay Area California, só I used secret shop a lot. So when I was searching for another place this one poped up. At first I was like should I or not. Then I called for more information to see if the place was open and they were. So I decided why not the worst that could happen is not go back. So I'm going to write off the things that were great about the place. 1. I was automatically greeted and sat down right away. (During a busy time.) 2. The waitress was very nice patient and informative. 3. (Cleanliness) this for me is one of the most important qualities I always look for. I walked into the bathroom and I walk around the place, as much as I was aloud to go around. Very nice interior design. The reason I stress the importance on this area because since I've lived in Rexburg I have not seen a restaurant upkeep the cleaning and keep the place clean. I was so surprised how clean the place was compared to other places I've seen in town. 4. (The most sweetest owner) when I walked passed her she automatically said hi to me and asked me if there was anything she could do to help. Very rarely in restaurants or places here have I gotten that type of comforting. Now, you can say well it's a small place that's why you could see the owner. But in all the small places here in town none have given me the time to even talk or hold conversation. 5. The tables were well arranged and organized with the design of the place. 6. Loved the music brought in some good vibes. 7. The food not only hit the spot I loved the sushi .!!! I was so impressed with how she made it I would recommend it to anyone looking for good sushi . For me I would say this is the best sushi in Rexburg Idaho. I've been to all the joints in Idaho falls but this one hands down is the best one to go to in Rexburg. Btw Mango moonlight is what I would ask for if you went. 8. (Saimin) the main course. The best soup you can ask for. Literally after I was done eating it. I felt so much better. Not only in my tummy but overall wellness. I was actually sick, but I walked out feeling good. I loved this soup and this soup really gave me a positive start for the day. 9. (Impressed with the customer service) I walked in looking like a broke college student even though I was passing by from work. The waitress treated me like a normal customer to my needs and checked on me when I needed it and never left me unattended. Once again this is another important factor in servicing people. 10. The place had a great vibe and I would highly recommend anyone to go to Da Pineapple Grill Now, with all of these positive things I only had one little issue. The lack of selection of teas and juices. Usually when you eat anything Asian/Hawaiian, you have to have a great selection of teas. I still had a good cup of tea but I was hoping for a bigger selection. Overall I give it a for everything. I hope this review invites a good gathering to enjoy the inner diversity food in the area. I used to be a secret shopper Ol habit I have Thanks Enjoy.!!! read more

The service was super nice, made me sad that such nice people worked in a place that started the way it did. The Mac salad was honestly disgusting it tasted like rancid oil and was very fishy tasting, but I love seafood but it was the wrong type of fishy. Just fry up some spam at home instead read more

Service great, spam musubi is a must have here! The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back. I can't wait to try their desserts. They look yummy. I thought the spam musubi portion was really big for the price. Back home it's the same for just two pieces, and it tasted exactly like what I was used to. read more

The sushi made me a little sad, pretty oily and the fish didn't seem super fresh. Not bad, but nothing to get excited about. The teriyaki beef was overly sweet and soupy in my opinion. That being said, I know a lot of people who rave about the sushi here, so while I'm not a fan, there are many that are and you may become one of them. At a minimum, it's a cool little restaurant with friendly servers! read more

Super yummy. Fast service. I want to go back. Had some tempura vegetables and I think it was the pineapple chicken that was fried up tempura style too. The flavor of the pineapple pieces in it was so delicious writing about it is making my mouth water. read more

POSITIVES: The service was wonderful, and the food was even better. The decor is spectacular! (The only place in Rexburg that compares decor-wise is Gator Jack's). Thankfully, we only waited 10-15 min from sitting down to actually getting our food, as we went during the 7-week break. Also, they brought out a HUGE plate of huckleberry ice-cream on macadamia nut crust for free for my birthday. NEGATIVES: It can be pricey, and the wait can be long depending on when you go. PRICE: About $10-15 per person. RECOMMENDED: We really enjoyed "Da Mix plate" and "Sushi Mix plate" for great variety. Also, the Bento Box special is another good choice for people that want a little bit of everything. read more

Really good food. Service was slow but I get that people are getting back into the swing of things after COVID. I would go back.

Waiter was very professional and attentive. Food was fresh and very tasty. I wasn't a fan of the wasabi hence why I left out one star, it seemed slightly dry. otherwise everything was excellent! read more

The place is pretty chill and people who work here are very welcoming and attentive. Sushi here are very fresh, and miso soup was delicious too. read more

I'm gonna sound mean, but it needs to be said, my wife and I's visit to this place was embarrassing. We arrived at 6:30 and ordered quickly, however we didn't get our food until 7:15-7:20. My wife ordered sushi, the Philly roll, and it was terrible. The roll was 90% salmon, with 5% cream cheese and 5% avocado. If the salmon was good, wouldn't be terrible, except the salmon was saltier than the ocean and practically inedible. I got their item "Da pineapple chicken" with a side of fried rice. The dish left much to be desired, the sauce was very strong and overpowering, thankfully it went away within a second, but the chicken was chewier than gum and drier than the Sahara. It was more bland than an episode of friends and just horrible, also like an episode of friends. Honestly I think it might have been frozen chicken from the taste of it, or lack of. It doesn't stop there unfortunately, the fried rice was also really bland, it was like it was sticky rice masquerading as fried rice. It looked the part, but it did not taste the part. One thing I did like however was the tempura vegetables, those were actually decent. Other than that, very bad, felt like I was on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. read more

This restaurant was suggested to me while I was in town. I tried it out for lunch. Service was good and prompt. I had a 3 meat lunch plate - chicken, beef, pork... along with a salad and Mac salad. Overall, it was alright. Nothing spectacular, but just fine. read more

Even in 2012 this place was tasty. Recently had dinner here and loved everything! Our waiter was extremely considerate, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We ordered a teriyaki burger and the sushi sampler platter. My husband and I were pretty stuffed. Definitely coming back! My only con, I don't much like the booths all the way to the right of the entrance. They are kinda high and not as comfy as they looked read more

Came for lunch at 12:30 on a Saturday. Saw their menu online prior and was set to come grub. Took my mom and 2 daughters age 18 & 19. We luckily caught the lunch discuss which goes until 2 pm. Stoked!!! Most places only serve discuss M-F. I'm on a budget so that was pleasing. Decor perfect. Small place with 1/2 booths or tables. Nice menu with burgers and sushi and teriyaki and even a curry. They have a separate menu for specialty sushi rolls. Very reasonably priced. We ordered 2 fancy rolls, a Hawaiian chicken curry, side salad, and the 2 different sushi lunch specials offered. Well we had to compliment the cook. Delicious curry sauce. Fantastic spicy salad dressing (be careful if you're faint of heart) had tempura veg, pot stickers, and some nigiri. The raw ahi was...melted in my mouth fresh!! Like butter. Such quality. We will go back. 5 star food but 3 star atmosphere and service. It's a college vibe. I'd normally vote 3....but the good is Amaze Balls!!! Go casual and enjoy. read more

The variety on the menu is fantastic. From appetizers to deserts there's nothing else in town like it. Anything with the mahi mahi is awesome. My wife loves their sushi. Particularly the Eleena special. I tried the Tiki burger the last time I was here. It is huge and delicious. My friends were jealous when they saw it. Did I mention how awesome the atmosphere and music are while you're waiting for your food? read more
