This is a real good Food Truck. My wife and I had it today at the Green Acres Food Truck Park, in Boise. I got the tacos; one was Katsu Chicken, and it was to die for. I had two other tacos that were Brisket. Delicious, fresh, absolutely good. My wife had a bowl of chicken and slaw. That was so fresh and delicious as well. The staff is so nice. Worth eating here if you are at the Green Acres Food truck park. read more

We used Kanak Attack to cater our daughter's graduation party. Every detail went smoothly, from ordering, paying, to delivery. And the food was so amazing. My family was fighting over the leftovers. Would highly recommend using them for any event. read more

Came here fresh off our flight with a pretty large group, and they were able to seat us right away. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable. Service was great--attentive and friendly, especially considering how busy they were. I got the bison burger with Cajun fries, and it hit the spot. The bacon jam added a nice touch of sweetness to the burger, and the fries were perfectly crispy, just how I like them. Overall, a solid spot to grab a bite to eat. read more

Excellent food and great value. Good quality ingredients. This is Hawaiian food done right! I highly recommend the spicy slaw with cocanut rice. I had the grilled teriyaki chicken and I appreciate that it was drowning in a store bought sauce. The chicken was flavorful and had a great smoky char from the grill. read more

Used these guys for catering a party recenty. Just a drop off of some food. Not a huge sale for them but the catering sales person treated us like we were ordering from the 4 seasons or something. She was great. Food was quite good too. read more

had the pork from their food truck. It was outstanding. It was juicy and didn't have any fatty chunks.

Great menu choices when you want something different and comfortable. No need to dress-up. Quick service with ample portions.

I love Kanak Attack's food truck. But the Meridian location at 499 S Main is CLOSED. Someone please update your Yelp page. read more

Thank you to the two guys manning the food truck today at the Sheriffs Office! They were so nice and were sweet enough to clarify if I'm Vegan or Vegetarian! (I'm vegetarian). Food was lovely, but I really appreciated the workers! read more

This was the first time that I've tried Kanak Attack in house. I've had their awesome catering before, but I had no idea that they had a storefront so close to my house. We needed a quick, but delicious lunch and trusty Yelp guided us here! This location is right next to their catering office. So you can try some delicious food and then hop next door to book them for your next party. The interior is very cute. Open and bright. There is plenty of space between tables and they are all table and chairs. The decorations are nice...obviously Hawaiian themed and they look pretty authentic (to my very untrained eye). Their menu has a decent amount of choices, but it's not overkill, so we easily made our decision. You order upfront and then they'll bring your food to your table. One thing that drove me crazy was the freshly lacquered tables. We kept sticking to them! Obviously that will correct itself soon, so no big deal. I only have one dish to go off of, because the hubs and I ordered the same thing. We both got the street tacos, trying out each of their meats. My favorite was the teriyaki chicken, my husband liked the pork the best. The brisket was good too, but a bit more plain than the other two. All the tacos are served on a corn tortilla and has a crunchy, sesame slaw on top. The teriyaki chicken was a bit spicy and the chicken thighs were so juicy and tender. Overall, the meats and the slaw are both pretty saucey so all of my tacos fell apart. My tortilla was pretty soggy so I had to just eat the meat and slaw with a fork. Not a huge deal, but sort of took away from the taco experience. Perhaps they could drain the meat a little more or double up on the tortilla. Overall, we were so stoked to try this place out and we can't wait to bring out of town family here! read more

Kanak attack truck off n marketplace is made with aloha, can tell. I keep coming back for the kalua pork, best I've had since home. Their Mac salad is also on point would be nice if they had more options for authentic Hawaiian cuisine, maybe some mahi-mahi burgers like that I used to get at paia fish market. Otherwise, mahalo Kanak attack read more

I ate their food and have not stopped throwing up, going on hour 3 and cannot keep fluids down. Would not suggest this establishment.

Hey y'all! If you are in Meridian/ Boise area you MUST try this place. The food is delish! Some of the best brisket I've had in some time! The service is +1, the price point is way more than fair and the portions are generous. Yesterday I last minute ordered lunch for the clinic where I work (company paid ). I recommended Kanak Attack Katering/ Pineappleexpress. The guys were insistent they could make the larger order work! They were thankful for the business and we were so excited to purchase/ support local! One gal told me she could eat her weight in their brisket. Everyone loved the mac salad and the fried rice is my new fave! There is something for everyone. I heard they will even do plated style. Get the Ohana package. Best bang for your buck! Thank you again! Your generosity and great food is welcomed. Can't wait to eat it again. Likely this week because my family is mad they didn't get it. Together we will get through this! read more

Soooo good! They catered our wedding at a very reasonable price and everyone was raving about the food. I hope the meridian location opens back up soon so I can get my fix more often! read more

The food was excellent. Admittedly, I don't know much about Hawaiin food. (See I don't even know how to properly spell Hawaiian the first time there?) The staff at the counter was so polite and knew their menu - I just glanced at the first 10 reviews here and when I visited, the staff actually identified EVERY issue mentioned and noted that I may or may not like something reviewers commented on. That's not the norm, at all ... that's a staff that listens and cares about customer experience. That alone is 5 stars. Tried some variety of chicken and some variety of steak. Both were 5 stars. Place was spotless. 12 of us ordering took ~15 minutes to reach our table so the manager brought us donuts while we waited. Nice gesture. I couldn't tell you anything else except that the flatware is BAMBOO! Why isn't everyone using recycled/recyclable wood? LOVE IT. Keep it up Kanak Attack. read more

Never had rice I couldn't eat! What the... Like actual DAY OLD rice It was like there were a bunch of little rocks in. Worst part is that it infiltrated the meat and sides so there was a rock surprise in some bites. I need a trip to the dentist UNREAL read more

OMG Freakin Amazing food!!!!! I was in Meridian for work and was told about this place by a co-worker. The staff are very friendly and took the time to explain to me the food. The different rices are excellent and have great flavor. The meats are to die for. My ultimate favorites have been the pineapple spam fried rice, the teriyaki chicken and the coconut encrusted salmon. Absolutely amazing!!!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!!! read more

We absolutely love this place!!! The food is authentic Hawaiian food and the vibe is perfect. We come almost every other week. Everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful with explaining the menu if you need it. The food is amazing you can't make a wrong choice. read more

Kanak Attack - Caterers Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Tried for the first time today. Got a manini plate. I had the park rice, which is delicious, and the mac salad, standard, as sides. I ordered the katsu chicken as my entree. I was told the katsu would need to be cooked in the back and it would be a few minutes. I was ok with this since that meant I would get nice, fresh food. Not so much. The katsu looked like it had been premade and just re-dipped into a fryer before being served. It was dry and severely over cooked. And the portion was tiny! 5-6 thin strips of chicken. The restaurant was not busy when I went. There were 4 people eating. Probably won't eat there again. read more

Kanak Attack - The picture looks better than it did in real life. - Caterers Near Me - Boise, Idaho

If you have never eaten Hawaiian food before, then you are in for a treat. This business started as a food truck, but found an open spot in Meridian, and the rest, as they say, is history! The still have the food truck. They took it out this summer and fed the crews working on the firelines! But I digress...... The food is AWESOME!! They use all authentic Hawaiian foods, including seaweed wrapped spam, and they can even accommodate those of us with gluten-free challenges. The servers are warm and friendly and the barbequed pork is out of this world! You just gotta go and try it!! read more

The tacos were delicious, and quite surprisingly, filling. Sometimes food truck tacos aren't filled with much meat. I can honestly say, the tacos left me satisfied. I ended up getting the Korean Beef, Pork, and Brisket tacos. I didn't have room in my stomach for the sides. Great shift from the standard food trucks I've tried before. Especially since it's influenced by Hawaiian flavor. read more

Its great the biz feeding the needy and homeless. I love that vibe. Definitely be going there in the future. Awesome job!

We were in town for a soccer tournament and wanted to think outside the box in what to eat for both the players and parents. Claudine and her team were awesome in orchestrating the details and accommodating our request for a part of that size (100-125). The crew arrived 30 minutes early and were up and running in a matter of minutes. The average turnaround on orders was legitimately under a couple of minutes and the rice bowls were a hit. We will be booking them next year for at least one catering event, if not two! Mahalo! read more

Amazing food! They catered a graduation event this past weekend and I would definitely use them again. They were on time, there was more than enough food and the prices were great. The pineapple/caramel cheesecake was a big hit. Thanks Sarah and Kanak Catering! read more

Moved to Boise a short while ago and finally made it to a place that had Hawaiin food. The quality was very good and taste ono. It is a short drive to home so we will be frequenting this place more often when the stay at home orders are stopped. read more

Was in town and was looking for something locally owned and we stumbled upon this place. Having lived with a couple Hawaiians I have been spoiled with amazing cooking from them and their families. I must say this place did not disappoint! Upon entering we were greeted and given a rundown of the menu. We ended up sharing the 3 meat plate and it was glorious. We had the loco moco(simple but amazing!), katsu chicken(a little different then I've had but was damn good with the sauce), and the Kalua pig(by far my favorite! Was super tender and fatty just how I like it). We had the Hawaiian Mac salad for the sides and had a spam musubi which is always great. I suggest hitting this place up because you will not be disappointed read more

Kanak Attack - Loco Moco, Kalua Pig, and Katsu Chicken - Caterers Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Save your time and money. Skip the Kanack locations at the Boise plaza building. I've taken back three meals in less than a year because they were inedible, including breakfast today from the new kiosk. Not worth the trouble. read more

I was a maid of honor for my best friends wedding. I was so excited to have the food she raved about. They were punctual which is critical in such occasion. The display was professional and easy to access for a party of over 100 people buffet style. I had to talk to the guy (I wish I remembered his name!) to discuss when he would be set. He was super friendly! He always ensured when a dish platter was done a new one was set. Honestly, not having to worry about the food was such a relief! We had a salad, 2 dressing choices, grilled veggies, fried rice, pulled pork and chicken teriaky. Each item was sooo tasty. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it. From the bridal party perspective it was great. I wish we had their food truck and catering services back in Las Vegas! Highly recommend! read more

I emailed the catering manager 3 days ago to explain how we felt about the service and still no reply. So' I'll post here: Claudine, Good morning. I wanted to reach out and tell you a little bit about our experience with the service we received Saturday. I'm not necessarily one to write reviews on social platforms because I understand the impact they can have on a business. With that being said, we were supposed to pick our large order up Saturday at 4:30 PM in order to make enough time to set up for our wedding reception. When we arrived exactly at 4:30, no one seemed prepared for our arrival. In fact, the staff seemed confused and gave no information as to what was going on. As we stood there waiting, everyone started running around in a mad dash (it seemed to actually get our order ready) and arguing with each other. Not one person said to us that our order wasn't ready or that there was a mix up. No one said anything to us. Not an apology, not an acknowledgment of fault. Just nothing. We gathered from the arguing and running around that our order wasn't ready. By the time we got everything loaded and back on the road, it was after 5PM. To me, being in a position of management for many years, this is completely unacceptable. I understand that things happen. I do. But the fact that no one told us anything about what was going on or communicated with us about the issue... that is just poor customer service. And not even one person apologized for the issue. Honestly, this was some of the worst service I've received in years. Please keep in mind when training your staff the true importance of business. The customer. When the customer pays $800+ dollars for a service, they expect the product and a friendly smile. Not "take your food and leave" which is ultimately how we left feeling. Thank you for your time. -Josh read more

These guys catered our lunch on Saturday for an all day seminar. Great stuff. I wish I had a chance to talk food with the chef; I was too busy stuffing my mouth with all the steak and chicken. The meat was nicely cooked and there were several sauces to pair them with. It was just as good plain than having to go crazy with the different aoilis that were offered. read more

If you were around a few years ago when there was a Kanack Attack in that strip mall off Broadway, this is the same owner. They still have their coconut rice. I HAD to try them out as I do love my hawaiian food! I ordered the korean chicken and decided on the pineapple and spam fried rice. When my food came out, I was so excited. The rice was dry and flavorless, the macaroni salad was missing oomph and the korean chicken's sauce tasted burnt. I was sadly disappointed. In all fairness, the chicken itself was nice and juicy. I'm not sure if they were having an off day or what, but I am perfectly content sticking with Island Kine Grinds. read more

Back in the day the food was so delicious. Not sure what happened to their standards or their recipes or the fact they are that accepting of bad customer service. After trying them out again recently twice at an event and food truck rally... I can officially say the coconut rice is bland, the mac salad is nothing like it use to be and tasteless, and the chicken was super dried out. Even their sauce was so watered down it was unbelievable! Disappointed. Used to be my favorite Hawaiian food in all of Idaho. Never again. read more

This Yelp location isn't correct- I went to the new store front 499 S Main St Meridian. I've been waiting for Kanak to open its store front for months and I finally got a chance to stop in after work today. I ordered a bit of everything I wanted to try and there were some ups and downs. The two different rices were really good- the coconut rice and the spam/pineapple rice (my new favorite) and I got the kalbi short ribs (great flavor, not a fan of the cut) the shredded sweet pork (really good) and my go to- pork adobo. I was raised on adobo and I've eaten it around the country but this pork adobo was too salty, very tender but overly salted. I also got the mac salad (yum) and tried the corn salad (surprisingly good with a touch of heat). I was hoping for lumpia, which they had but only banana. They are newly opened but not a new company in this area... I'll be back to try them again but I'm not in a rush. read more

Good is ok for me, I wasn't impressed with the tacos and I know everyone loves them but it just tasted bland to me. I would rather have the bowls with the coconut rice but for me it's ok. I know a lot of my friends like them so I definitely encourage you to give it a try. read more

They catered our event with the food truck. If I could rate the food by itself I would give it a 4 (the rice was very hard). However, everything else was terrible. It took 90 minutes for our group to get their food, only one person was cooking, the order process was extremely confusing and it needed to be simplified. The person who was there to help with the ordering was obviously new and not familiar with the process. I would recommend eating at the restaurant and bypass the food truck. I wrote the restaurant an email with my concerns directly and never received a response or apology. read more

Kanak Attack Express is AMAZING. We ate there last night and I'm already going back fo lunch today.

I was in Boise for the half Ironman event in May... The day after the event was looking for something to do found Kanak Attack at the taste of Boise event... Kept going back for their tacos! will track them down next visit.... Keep up the great work! read more

Yummm this food is so good! I lived in Hawaii for several years and I'm so happy this restaurant exists in meridian! The restaurant is decorated really cute inside too and they play great Hawaiian music. Treat yourself to a quick escape and grab a plate lunch here. read more

Disclaimer: You're getting this review from the Father of the Bride. Also of note I had ZERO contact with Kanak Attack prior to the wedding night - this was all handled by my wife, my daughter (bride) and her fiance (groom). We had a 5:30 wedding and KA Katering truck was supposed to be on site before that time so they could be prepped and start taking individuals orders by 6:00, 6:30 PM at the latest (nothing wrong with a cocktail or two while waiting on food to be ready!). When wedding started, no KA on site, when wedding over, no KA on site, when family photos after wedding completed, no KA on site. The things I had to endure my (only) daughter saying about her wedding guests that now SHOULD be eating cannot be repeated. It was so painful to be out on a beach at a park in Emmett Idaho and hungry guests for my daughter's wedding and no food in sight. Long story shorter, I ended up googling 'pizza in Emmett Idaho' and had to place a $250 order for 14 or so pizzas to feed our 60+ guests. Idaho Pizza Company had the pizzas ready for pickup in 25 minutes, so hats off to them! About an hour later, maybe more, KA truck finally showed up. I never got an answer on where they were, what went wrong, but heard lots of 'too many pokers in the fire' for excuses. Not sure what that means. I should add that, once they showed up, MANY of our wedding guests were excited as they already knew how good KA food was and I'll agree - the food I had (brisket and edamame noodles) was great. A little later I got a call from Travis of KA who was very apologetic and I TOTALLY appreciate the phone call but, the fact is, my daughter's wedding reception agenda got totally messed up due to the change that KA Katering forced us to make. I didn't even get to give my Father of the Bride toast at the reception, which is selfish to say but true. We didn't get to give any toasts, for that matter because our schedule got so messed up starting with dinner delayed a solid 60 minutes. Travis, who called me, then showed up on site (an hour, plus, drive from Boise) and did a huge job with my wife and with me trying to recover. There was a fair amount of money returned in cash to my wife which covered about 70% of our total outlay between KA Katering and Idaho Pizza Company. This is appreciated and helped, in no uncertain terms, but cannot remove the stress and anxiety the bride went through mere minutes after getting married. Would I ever hire KA to Kater another wedding, or any event, of mine? Not on your life, unless I knew I had 65 steaks, baked taters, and sides on standby in the case of another no-show. On that note alone I'd give a zero star rating - I cannot unfeel the pain that my daughter and I were going through in looking at all of our wedding guests that SHOULD be eating and no KA truck on site. Based on the GREAT food, however, and the awesome service of those working the truck that night, and Travis's huge efforts, I'll give 3 stars. read more

I have been at SEVERAL events where they have catered. Each time they were late, extremely unorganized and didn't have great service. They forgot things on the day of the event and had to leave to get them. Completely unacceptable. I would recommend using a different caterer if you want a stress-free event. read more
