Allergy friendly | delicious We stopped by here on our roadtrip from Yellowstone-Grand Tetons. This is such a great find close to the highway. Great menu variety and good options for vegetarians and folks with allergies, like me. I got the bbq luau bowl. DELICIOUS, I love the sauce that comes with it. It compliments the meat and garlic green beans with roasted sweet potato. Nothing about this bowl is boring. Great lunch, good portion. My husband enjoyed the new birria bowl. He loved it. We would stop by here again if we're in the area in the future. read more

Mahana Fresh - Bbq luau bowl to go - YUM - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

WOH, MAYBE THINK TWICE BEFORE EATING HERE - IF YOU'RE EATING A BOWL! Ordered a bowl - while it is likely a better option than a fast food burger joint - the food was just ok. There are other competitors in the salad bowl food arena that do it better. Chipotle, Zao, Sweet Green - shoot Subway may have a better bowl than Mahana. Don't order the broccoli. It's totally overcooked. Recommend these folks take a note from Panda Express and leave it a bit crunchy. The sauce flavors were fine, but the overcooked broccoli ruined the bowl. SERVICE Good. No issues. AMBIANCE Fast casual. No issues. read more

While the menu options look to be healthy choices, the chicken quality was absolutely disgusting. Most of the pieces had pieces of fat and/or tendons on them. It very much looked like they do not trim or inspect their meat to ensure any inedible pieces of the chicken are removed before dicing and serving it. Chipotle can give you a higher quality of meat and that's saying something. The veggies were okay, Brussel sprouts could be cooked more and sweet potatoes could be more consistently cooked. I will not be visiting this place again. read more

Thank you for being allergy friendly heather and Mac were for friendly and helpful it really makes a difference when there are delicious and healthy options when dealing with food allergies!! I AM BEYOND THANKFUL! read more

Went here while we visited for the week. The food and flavors were so amazing! I love the roasted vegetables and the meat was good quality. We didn't eat inside, just picked it up as takeout. But it did travel well. Service was quick! read more

Love the concept of having a healthier fast food option! I got the Bliss Bowl with Kale, cauliflower, chicken and brussel sprouts. I tried the Sesame Ginger & Cilantro Lime dressings. The chicken looked really white and like diseased (I'm picky with chicken). I quickly put the sauces in and it tasted good. Not sure if it was supposed to hot or cold but it was definitely cold. The service was good. The ambiance reminded me of Costa Vida but more tropical feeling. I walked from the Riverwalk which was nice. Not sure I would go back or take it to go and heat it up ‍ read more

Mahana Fresh - Bliss Bowl - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

I guess if you're gluten-free and vegetarian, this place is for you. Otherwise, it's pretty unimpressive. There is little to no flavor on the dishes they serve. Mostly taste like reheated frozen food served on week-old tortillas. It may market itself as some kind of healthy fast-food option, but it's about as good for you as eating the toy with your happy meal. read more

So exciting to see a completely GLUTEN FREE menu. I had the sweet potato noodles and ahi tuna. It was yummy. Best part was the chocolate chip cookie tho!!!! By far the best gluten free dessert I've had in a long time. read more

The food choices were fabulous! I loved having choices that were gluten and dairy free.

I thought the food was average. Service was good, restaurant clean. Better options in town, Rumbi Island Grill.

Not sure it's fair business practice for this place to have the word "fresh" in its name. All the veggies were roasted or cooked, which is fine for a Thanksgiving dinner, but not a fresh poke bowl. There were none of the traditional toppings you get on a poke bowl--no edamame, seaweed salad, carrots, cucumber (there was a tomato and cucumber pickled salad, but you had to pay extra for that). No fresh fruit--mango, pineapple, mandarin oranges. No fish roe, cilantro, furikake. They were also out of tuna which to me is the essence of a poke bowl. I ended up getting steak and shrimp which were both dry and overcooked. Pretty disappointing :( read more

Good food with quality ingredients and vegan options!. I really appreciate that their menu is crystal clear about what's vegan and/or gluten-free. There's no guesswork at all and the their app even lets you identify any food allergies you might have. I ordered a Mahana bowl with garlic tofu, roasted mushrooms and Buffalo cauliflower. The coconut sweet potato sauce. The bowl was light, but had a good balance between healthy and flavorful. The price was reasonable as well. Idaho does not have a lot of vegan food options for a traveler like me, but I was happy to try a bowl at Mahana Fresh! read more

Great quick healthy food. Nice staff too. Cauliflower taco was yummy. Healthy drinks. Will return for sure. read more

Disappointing experience. First of all, none of that food is fresh so that's a scam. Second, I got my food and it was COLD. I asked to warm it up, they gave me another bowl and it was COLD AGAIN. To top it all off, the food wasn't good or fresh it was dry. read more

We ate there on our way though and plan to come back. Everything I had was delicious same with my wife and daughters. You need to ask questions about it if you e never had it The staff was awesome and helpful. read more

THE BEST Fresh GF in Idaho Falls! Good mood definitely starts with good food From Ahi to Chicken then back to steak! Noodles, veggies, and sweet potato carbs!! This place is mind blowingly good! The best part.....Freakin DOLE WHIP!! Yes DOLE WHIP!! Like Disneyland! All Gluten free too which gives all of us free rein to pick and choose anything including the sauces! I can't say enough!! I just can't wow read more

Mahana Fresh - Logo - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

Great deals on great food. I was glad to give this place a try after so long. Glad to have a fresh service option in Idaho Falls like this.

The guys at the counter were super friendly. The portions they serve are good for the price you pay. Flavor is good, and YES, the tuna is raw. Didn't expect much for raw tuna in Idaho Falls but was pleased to surprised. Brussels sprouts tasted good too. Only knock in the cold sesame noodles were "meh". Overall will go back when in town for work read more

Mahana Fresh - Spicy Ahi Tuna 'bowl' - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

I was really grateful to find a restaurant with so many vegetarian and gluten-free options when I visited Idaho Falls on my way to the Craters of the Moon National Monument! It was awesome that everything was labeled incredibly clearly, and the staff was both knowledgeable about the ingredients in their food but also incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating of my dietary restrictions. Their app and website are also incredibly informative and have full lists of the ingredients and nutritional information for each menu item. Although Mahana Fresh was undeniably accessible and accommodating, the food itself was...alright. It was certainly refreshing to have some fresh vegetables and a vegetarian option that actually contained protein in it after a long road trip filled with...none of those things, but I don't think I could see myself wanting to frequent this spot if I actually lived in town. The honey sriracha brussels sprouts were tasty and delightfully spicy, but a bit too sweet for my taste (which, of course, I should have guessed from the word "honey" in the name). The sesame ginger broccoli was solid, and the bites of garlicky cilantro green beans that I stole from my dad's plate were also quite delicious. My mom's roasted sweet potatoes were, unfortunately, overcooked and way too salty, yet simultaneously lacking in flavor. Also, while I understand that Mahana Fresh is a fast-casual restaurant, many of the vegetables and proteins were all kept over the hot plate of death for what seemed like many hours, so nothing really felt "fresh." I did really enjoy the sesame garlic tofu, though, although I would have preferred to have the protein warmed (it was served cold, which was odd, considering that all of the other proteins, aside from the poke, were kept warm...although, in hindsight, considering how the vegetables fared over the hot plate, perhaps having cold tofu was a blessing in disguise). The citrus ginger was solid -- it was basically like the carrot ginger dressing traditionally served at Japanese restaurants with a stronger orange flavor. My father wasn't the world's biggest fan of the creamy wasabi, though, and had a few stomach issues a few hours after our meal here. Overall, if you're on a pan-America road trip and happen to be crossing through Idaho Falls, chances are that you've been a bit deprived of vegetables and good, clean, healthy food for at least a few days. I would definitely recommend dropping by Mahana Fresh to give your body a break from the fast food or random grocery store items, but it's by no means a must-try. Also definitely recommend giving Mahana Fresh a try if you have a lot of dietary restrictions and have been struggling to find restaurants in the area that are able to accommodate you! read more

Mahana Fresh - Build-your-own bowl with spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, tofu, and citrus ginger - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

Didn't like the food I got. It didn't make me sick or anything but it was just odd. Cold noodles, garlic beans, Brussels sprouts and Ahi Tuna with some kind of wasabi sauce. Kind of expensive. The lady helping me was very nice but I won't return. read more

Honestly this place was not what I expected. I'll admit that it was different than the typical fast food on the road, but the food was marketed to be fresh and it just wasn't that. They had pots full of fresh vegetables to make for quick service, but this meant that the vegetables tasted overdone and had a weird flavor to them. I tried the teriyaki bowl and wasn't impressed. A cute store though, and I may try it again just because it's possible I was there on a bad day. Curious what other people thought of this chain. read more

Mahana Fresh - Teriyaki Tiki Bowl - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

We ordered via DoorDash. Mahana 1 included steak, spinach, sweet potatoes and broccoli. Steak was over cooked and tough. Veggies had no seasoning. Spinach was fine, but meal was cold and barely edible. Mahana 2 included basmati rice, roaster Mushrooms, broccoli and Seared Ahi Tuna. The tuna was over cooked where it should have been barely seared. The sauce coating the tuna was awful. This was completely inedible. We will not be ordering here again. read more

I was excited to find a place where I could get quality protein and fresh veggies while I was traveling. Overall, the food just wasn't good. It was all very bland and pretty dry. I will not be going back. It's a bit pricey, but I didn't mind at furst knowing that it was fresh and healthy. But after eating it, it wasn't worth it. read more

Nice to have quick food with quick friendly service. I appreciate that they use flavors besides salty and sweet. I'm not convinced of the Hawaii theme, but understand where they're trying to get it from. Think of it more as going to your healthy friend's house for dinner. read more

Great food and service every time! Healthy food that is delicious can't be beat. This is my teenager's favorite restaurant.

Great place. Portions are good for the Mahana. They are a little small for the little Mahana. When I went in I didn't know what to expect. Eating now. I can tell that the focus on Mahana fresh is new age gluten free healthy meal. On to the food: Wife got coconut rice, which was surprisingly good. And sweet potato and teriyaki chicken with more teriyaki sauce at the end. The teriyaki chicken was a little salty but if you eat everything together it's pretty good. Does taste like "healthy" food if it's eaten separately instead of altogether. I got the Kale crunch salad with buffalo cauliflower and garlic green beans. My protein was key lime chicken and the sauce was a cilantro vinaigrette. I will copy what my wife said about eating them separate. The buffalo was kind of bland. The kale salad was good. And the green beans were my favorite. The chicken was dry but with the addition of the vinaigrette they were quite nice. It was good, however after a little all the food started to get quite oily. I would come back again just to try different mixes. For opting up a costa vida like restaurant in the middle of a crazy time, Mahana Fresh is doing a good job. If you are looking for a different style of food,With a healthy spin This is your place! read more

Mahana Fresh - New American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

Very, very, ridiculously small portions. However the food is good! Have gotten a good portion size a few times but most the time they barely fill the bowl. Seem to be super inconsistent on portions. Very unfortunate because I like the food. read more

Service was great and so was my food.... other than the ahi, it tasted rotten and my dog wouldn't even eat it. It also didn't say anywhere that it was an extra $2, ended up spending $18 on a bowl and threw half the protein in the trash . Other than that it was great service and all the other sides were yummy just don't get the ahi read more

The food here is unique and tastes great. They offer healthier options compared to many other fast food options in Idaho Falls. The staff was friendly. Going back! read more

I got the ahi tuna bowl with broccoli and green beans and coconut rice. Broccoli- cold, seemed like they were old barely any seasoning Coconut rice-I think they forgot the coconut, no seasoning so it was just bland mush Green beans- they were good, but like the broccoli some of it seemed like it was old, barely warm. Ahi tuna- maybe I'm just picky with tuna but this was not it. It seemed like very bad cuts and was chewy. Creamy wasabi sauce- the only thing that made this plate edible. 10/10 I tried this place based on reviews I saw on google, I don't know what food they were getting but this was not my experience. I was excited for the ahi tuna but probably won't be back. The servers were really nice though and knowledgeable of the food. read more

Delicious food! Fresh, healthy, and gluten free with lots of vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

I got the gyro bowl and thought it was amazing. At Panda Express I feel like I'm eating processed food but Mahana really did have fresh ingredients. read more

This place was SO delicious!!! I stopped here on a road trip to MT with eating clean in mind. I got the Spicy Ahi Aloha Bowl with the coconut sweet potato sauce and it was HEAVENLY! So fresh, flavorful and for sure lived up to being good-mood-food. The organic drinks/teas are sooo good too! Please open a few in California! read more

The food is absolutely amazing! I have gluten intolerance and almost everything is gluten free (possibly everything). The food was hot, prepared well and the staff were very nice! The seating area is not large, but bigger than it looks in online pictures. We did takeout, but the food was still hot after driving across town. It is definitely on our list of places to return to again and again. read more

My wife and I really like this place. Good food and unique flavors. I feel good after eating it too.
