My husband is from Tonga and he wanted great island food and he said this place was probably one of the best places he's ever had!

Aloha All Let me begin by saying I Love, Love, Love my Polynesian Culture and Cuisine! I believe our people are truly intertwined I do want to say I am impartial when posting a review and only note what I see, how I feel, and the way I've been treated my the staff of the business I visit. The business looks like a quaint family owned business, which is dear to my heart as my family has multiple businesses we own as well. I was browsing Yelp and came across this business and from the reviews I decided to give it a go. I set the destination on my navigation on my car and while driving I can just taste what the food is going to taste like and I got even more hungry. When I arrived and walked into the store, I was greeted instantly by a kind gentleman and after exchanging salutations, I looked at the food bar and was in shock, disappointed, and speechless. The choices displayed looked like left overs from sunday's toga'i. I just couldn't believe that uncle was still trying to sell what was there, which was nothing, the taro was black, there was one piece of povi masima and I don't know how long that cabbage has been in there, the sapasui???, there was no bananas I am now very Hangry and I don't know what to eat because as I said earlier in my review, I could already taste what the food was going to taste like and I was super excited to have Samoan food only to be extremely disappointed when I got there read more

Sorry to say this about your store.. but we got there around 930 and it was locked ,so we waited a few minutes and nothing. No one around. If you are closed or no longer operating on those hours, please change it or close it out. I love my Samoan ppl but please put some info of change address or operating hours. read more

The owner took good care of the store the food was great. I stop by 2017ish i cant believe how bad it was. I was ashamed how the food looks like because samoan food are delicious but this day i would be embarrassed to represent that this is samoan food. Just saying. I haven't been back since. If anyone went there in 2025 please let's us know. Thanks read more

I really would give this place a five but honestly I ran across some issues here. There was a time when the food was great but however recently that wasn't the case. The lamb tasted old, the taro looked like it had been over cooked as if what was not sold was being reheated, I gave this place a three because the people who work there are always friendly and the cans of pisupo comes in clutch when looking to buy but the food is a hit or miss so you got to try at your own risk. read more

Food: Unless you are absolutely dying for Samoan food...DO NOT SPEND A PENNY HERE. You will be on the brink of death. Make the drive to Poasa's in Carson. My brother & I bought food here, (Matai plate) he was a few inches from being six feet underground! He suffered from food poisoning for 3 days. Food looked as if it sat under the warm lights overnight. The faalifu for the taro was the same color of the taro...purple! Povi color was crusty maroon. They do not serve palusami. WTH? Service: Female came to the front with a mouthful. Cordial, yet no shame of selling old food. No integrity & no heart for their customers. Ambiance: Sparse on merchandise. Dusty items on shelves. Out of date Pule tasi's. To be honest, the health department should be notified, and store owners put behind bars. Faamolemole, Se'i fai ma se alofa ma le faautauta! read more

How this place is still open is beyond me. I bought kalo, mamoe and sosisi around 11am and the food tastes old and disgusting. I am so disappointed and the fact that 3 Samoans took a look at the food and left should've been my turning point. Makaga le igoa o meaai Samoa ae leaga le faiga. Make the drive to Poasa in carson or Park avenue in Riverside. Trust me it's worth it. read more

DO NOT COME HERE The place is run by an old man. I came here because usually the food is not that bad. And I was craving Samoan food. Specifically oka (raw fish in coconut milk). I asked owner if there was any oka left and he said there's a lot left in the fridge where soda is. I open fridge and asked him this looks old. He goes, "No it's still good I make from yesterday." Obviously he's a liar and gave me old and disgusting food to eat where I could have caught some type of mercury or something. Anyone who knows about this place knows this is NOT where you want to get you Samoan food craving from. Everything is old and disgusting! read more

My family drove 2 hours for samoan food for me because I was craving it like crazy and what I got; it was a disaster!! The faalifu already smelled mafu, the taros itself killed themselves, the sapasui was salty and hella-dry, the povi masima fired itself....lets just say everything was a disaster! I felt guilty for sending my family so far for a disappointing result:(:(:( Luckily my husband guessed that nobody would eat the food so he stopped by taco bell on the way home!!!! They brought samoan food, we ate everything else BUT the samoan food I was craving:(:(:(:( I was upset but mostly guilty for wasting money and time and goddamn gas for this nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never!!!!!! Ever, ever, ever!!!!!!! Shut it down..... read more

I don't know what's going on here but I am never coming back again! I bought 21.99 plate 3 taros 2 bundles of green bananas Box of sausage Box of lamb They charged me 276.00?!?! The shady guy even looked at me to see if I would say anything about the price. He is overcharging Kumar! You need to check your workers. He is selling old disgusting food too! I will drive to Carson from now on. I really tried to come only here but when your workers are dishonest like this it makes me question how many times he ripped me off before. read more

Great store to grab ingredients for home cooked Polynesian food! They also have hot food there as well.

I called them before coming to see if there was li hing Mui and they had it! I was so desperate and I was surprised that they had some in stock. They were also very friendly! read more

It was my first time here. After the Annual Pacific Islander Festival at Huntington Beach Public Library, I asked around for a Samoan of Tongan restaurant. Yelp searches only listed Hawaiian restaurants, but I really wanted something authentic. Someone told me to check out this market-it has native souvenir items and I think rental videos too? It's a culturally rich hole in the wall with a buffet line of food of your choosing. Their menu is simple. I got the Lunch Special because it had a taste of everything for $13. A bit pricey, but I was willing to pay that much to keep this small business going. This is what I ordered and they were so sweet to explain in detail what I was getting myself into lol. Taro and banana coconut milk-not too sweet. Sapasui-lamb- he joked that it was chopsuey, small pieces of lamb (yum!), no veggies. It reminded me of Pancit because it was clear, but the noodles were much thicker. Turkey tail- he told me I would love it, it was too gamey for me but seemed to be cooked with TLC Sosisi- sausage, I wondered... is this pork lol. Pineapple Moon Pie- this was delicious. Not too sweet and the homemade crust was the perfect cakey-not flakey texture. It was a crowd pleaser. Because I'm Vietnamese. He whispered to me that an old Vietnamese lady bakes them and drops them off on Saturday mornings. I will be back again for that moon pie-as for everything else, I like veggies and rice with my meat. I wish there were more places like this though. You should check it out if you're in the area! read more

Filipino, B&R on da island of Oahu.....brah the food here is legit! Double shakas for me!

I do fo here more for the products because by the time I get there food is sold out. I do go to Poly Grill & Poasa in Carson.

Unfortunately, the hot and ready food has gone down hill. I came here today and I couldn't stomach most of my plate. I got the lunch special with Turkey tail. Just watch the video and I'll say no more. read more

My mom stopped here a few days ago to get a few things. She grabbed 2 Samoan breads and when we got home and cut it open it had mold in the entire bread. The bread was not fresh and if they knew that they should have not sold it. Waste of $ read more

Been disappointed by this store one too many times recently. Spent over $100 for what usually would only cost us almost 70% less in Carson. Although this is closer, being overpriced with less than desirable food quality: the drive to Carson is worth it. Truth be told. read more

This store no longer carries taro leaves (luau leaves). They should start carrying it again even on a limited basis, like once a month.

First time EVER trying Samoan food, and I loved it! Super tasty and delicious, we came on a weekend so I was lucky to try the Pani Popo, my goodness!! If you like coconut do yourself a favor and get these!!! read more

Bad food. Bad customer service. Charged me $50 for 2 lunch plates ($11.99 each) and the food is burnt, Sapasui has no flavor what's so ever. Where's the old cooks ? When asking about a certain dish, the guy complained in Samoan, thinking I'm a "Konga" I'm half Samoan too ‍ read more

We bought half the store, #SweartoGod. Haha. My hubby and I stopped in while we were over at Disneyland (easy/quick drive, btw) and stocked up on some of our island faves like pisupo and saimigi maggi... and of course we also had a massive Sunday toonai off all that delicious hot food for sale too! Thanks for a Cali-style trip back to the islands! We'll definitely be back next time we visit! Oh- and go early if you want the panipopo cause we had totally missed it by 11am! read more

Looking to make your own Lau Lau??? I have been...for years. Problem is, where do you get the luau (taro) leaves? Asian supermakets do not carry them, even Marukai, which carries a ton of Hawaiian food stuffs let me down. Enter Boutique Samoa. Well, what I first thought was Le Manai Stores. Le Manai Stores was a place I found on Alohaworld.com. It was the closest Samoan grocery store to OC that claimed to carry luau leaves. I finally get there today, and find that Le Manai does not exist anymore, but a few doors down is Boutique Samoa, a place that has Samoan, Tongan, Hawaiian and Fijian food, clothing, music, you name it. Look for their sign on Western Avenue, as it is tucked behind a corner store...you'll see. They have a fast food counter, similar to Manila Grille on Knott Ave. Instead of filipino fast food, there is a great assortment of polynesian dishes. Their grocery selection is unique, lots of items that someone who grew up in the islands would recognize. Everything from rock salt to koko samoa. They even have colorful Polynesian styles of Puletasi's, Mu'umu'u's and Aloha Shirts. After years of searching for luau leaves, my quest finally ended, today at Boutique Samoa. They sell them by the pound, $2.99/lb. and get them shipped in from Hawaii once a week. Ask for "Papa"...who was extremely friendly and laid back, you wouldn't know you're in the middle of SoCal with this guy, trust me. Support this local family business. Make some lau lau at home! FYI, they are closed on Tuesdays. read more

We came here because my husband was craving for Samoan food. We ordered 2 plates. One was $12 included three Meats with fa'i (banana) and Taro and the other was $15 included 4 meats with fa'i and taro. We also purchased 2 pineapple pies and a small can of corn beef. All this came out to about $44. The food was very good!! Cooked on point. Turkey tail was tender and flavorful, chop suey was perfect.. not dry, had turkey tail mean mixed inside had lots of blended flavor. The lamb rib was deliciously baked tenderly. The povi masima (corn beef) was boiled perfectly as it was very tender also. I can see why the food is pricey because it's very time consuming to cook these foods however.. the first day we went there , the portions were considerable. Next day my husband loves it so much that I went to pick up another plate but they guy that served it that next day was very stingy with the food and was not worth paying for. I would consider returning but only if hubby is seriously craving. read more

This is a rare find around here, a legit polynesian mini market/lunch counter. They have delicious turkey tails, sapasui, palusami (on the weekend), curry, taro, kava, shirts, music, lava lavas, li hing mui and other popular bbq & canned foods from the south pacific. It's tucked away behind a liquor store on the southwest corner of Ball & Western. The guy behind the counter is always friendly. Price is charged by the pound. It's a cool place and a gem for anyone looking for this kind of stuff. read more

Great family oriented store with nice staff and yummy food. 10/10 would recommend. Owner is super kind and always gives extra pan kekes

I went to pick up food recently and the two people working the counter Wesley and Fili were very rude not only that but the food must've been from yesterday because it was spoiled and very expensive I've been going to the store for a long time and recently in light of the new management in the way that these two have been running it I will not be here ever again for their business. read more

Stopped in to get some Samoan food before heading back to Las Vegas and everything was good reminds me of all the Samoan foods we would eat back home in samoa. Good prices for the plates. We ate the Matai plate and it fed four of us. We had less than half left after eating. That's how big the plates are. Also they have good snacks and ofus (outfits) we will definitely come back when come to LA read more
