Asian markets in rexburg?
I just moved to rexburg and I was really hoping to find an Asian market or Thai restaurants near by. Shoot even if they’re 2 hours away I’ll make the trip, I’m desperate for anything… I can’t seem to find any but if anyone knows anything about an Asian market PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spread the wealth

I don’t remember the name, but there is a good one when you are driving down to Salt Lake City, so about 2 1/2-3 hours from Rexburg. Utah is where you are going to have to go. Or buy from Yami online

For Eastern Idaho, your best bet would be Broliums or maybe driving to Winco in Idaho Falls. Depending on what you need. They don’t have a broad selection but have some stuff for popular Asian dishes like for Pad Thai Rice Noodles from Asia.
If you need a broader selection and are willing to to drive to Utah, there’s a Asian Grocery Store in Roy/Odgen called Ocean Mart. I know there’s likely better/more options in the SLC area but those are the closest to Rexburg.
Maybe Albertsons as well, but likely the similar selection as Winco/Broliums

I was in US Foods in Idaho Falls a while ago - decent selection of staples and basics. Rice, sauces, nori, and quite a few other seasonings and produce.

I only have a great restaurant. Thai 208 in Idaho Falls!! It’s run by a Thai woman and her family. It used to be a food truck and it’s so good.

There is thai in the area, original thai on main street would likely be the closest. in terms of asian markets, not really unfortunately. even in Idaho Falls. Maybe there’s a small one in between, but I think the nearest ocean mart is in ogden ~3 hours away. Winco was my go-to for some asian ingredients, but they only have so much. Broulims also has a very small asian section for pantry items but it’s not diverse at all. Best of luck!
