    The food at poasa is good and authentic my wife and I stopped by to get some grub and had the warmest welcome it felt like a family reunion. It's cafeteria style and you just pick you food and pay it's by weight so the more you get the more it will cost. Are food was lovely I just wish we had more sua on the kalo and fai. Other then that everything was good. Loved this place will be back

    Palusami, Chop suey, faia i'a and talo.

    Small store that serves bakery and samoan lunch/dinner plates. The kind workers were very helpful to instruct us on how to order. The ambience is pretty chill as well. The food was good. I ordered the palusami, chop suey, faia i'a and turkey tail. The palusami was so delicious. It had good texture (not hard and not clumpy) to the taste and it was creamy. The faia i'a was so good I wanted more! Fish with mixed coconut mayo and half&half and onions. Sooooooo good probably my favorite!! Honestly I would return if I were in town. Thank you Poasa Imports for the yummy samoan food!

    Fresh Samoan Bread, Fresh Samoan Pineapple Pies, Banana Bread, Kekepua'a (Pork Bun) all yum

    1st time here. Great experience shopping for all my family's Samoan favorites. This morning I walked into an empty store with so many delicious looking Samoan food all around me. No line. The friendly service provided by Karisma, Lau, and Toi was so good. Thank you. We will post pictures of the food soon. As I left the store I turned around and the line was pretty long. Can't wait to taste the awesome food you all made; God bless Update: came back today because I didn't get the bread I paid for since my order was large and it was crazy busy but Karisma took care of me and Toi today so kind. Plus I bought more Samoan favorites as shown in the photo ;P

    Corned Beef Brisket, Sapasui, taro & banana in coconut milk, palusami and baked fish. Wonderful!

    My first time eating Samoan food and it did not disappoint! The food was fresh, the staff was friendly and the flavors were extremely delicious. I will be back the next time I come to Carson! My family and I drove all the way from Temecula CA just to try the food. This trip was well worth it.

    A little bit of this and that of some good ol fashion samoan delights..

    Stopping in on the way back home to Fresno and it was the best decision today yet. Good ol fashion samoan food that puts an extra 20 pounds on and makes you go nite nite right afterwards. Staff was legit and helpful and the food, well let's just say I'm glad we stopped in. Living in the central valley with a very small population of samoans and no samoan food/shops, I look forward to trips to the bay or down south just for that samoan taste. But these guys down here DEFINITELY put forth the good strong work with that samoan taste.. Yeeeeese

    Clean food items

    First timer here! FRESH, good quality Samoan food. I love that this store is so clean and well organized. Quick fix to satisfy your taste buds when they're itching for some Polynesian food. Weekends they get packed, so be sure to come early. They also sell freshly baked bread & pagi popo. Sapa sui, fai, taro, mamoe, mulipipi, bbq chicken, sosisi, povi masima, curry & on weekends they sell sua fai! YUMMO and fairly priced. Great Poly store

    Can I buy fresh taro leaves here?

    I didn't see any being sold here that wasn't in the form of Palusami already but if you know where Ken's Market is in Long Beach they do sell it there. Quantities are limited and they do sell it by huge bags of raw taro leaves. I hope this helps… Read more

    Had the pleasure of visiting this cute, French restaurant today. Parking was relatively easy in…read morefront of the restaurant, but if you need more parking, there's torrance crossroads right across. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess/waitress (possibly the owner?) who instantly made you feel welcomed with her energy. She seated promptly, and gave us some recommendations. We ordered the Pate en Croute, duck Burger, canard Confit, and peach Dessert. We enjoyed all the food, but felt it was a little under-seasoned (salt). The peach Dessert was a nice conclusion: coated with white chocolate, encased in a fluffy marshmallow-like texture, and filling inside, and not too sweet. They also have specific dinner events (by RSVP) on select nights! They have crepe, paella, and French dinner nights throughout the month. Overall, we enjoyed our late lunch, and would definitely come back to try their paella night!

Almond Croissant 3. Quiche lorraine 4. Lemon mousse cake 5. Raspberry mousse cake 6. Italian sandwich: Liked the baguette but the mozarella was flavorless. Food came out quickly. Liked how the tables had hooks for purses even though I wasn't dining in. The pastry and quiche were okay. The cakes were all pretty good and would be what I'd come back for to try other flavors. Overall 3.5.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were at home with family. Uncle Darrow greets everyone like you belong there, he remembers you, makes you feel seen, and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that you instantly relax. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with love. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you want great food and an experience that feels like community. We loved it so much, we're already planning to come back next month to celebrate my birthday there!

The soft shell crab was crispy, flavorful, and packed into fresh bread that held everything together without getting soggy. Messy in the best way and exactly what you hope for when you order one. The red beans and rice were comforting and well seasoned, a perfect side to go. The place has a laid back, welcoming feel, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The owner was super friendly and very hospitable. Definitely living up to the southern hospitality. Food came out hot and fresh. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving New Orleans style comfort food.

My fiance and I are both pescatarian and there's plenty options. The veggie sandwich though is our favorite. It is out of this world.

This place is in a family friendly neighborhood and the restaurant accomodates children so don't be surprised if there's kids when you go. It's pretty normal.

It's located in Bixby Knolls, surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, yet it's the only true wine bar right there. Honestly, Long Beach has more wine bars than most surrounding areas, and since the South Bay is packed with breweries, if you're tired of beer this is your sign to switch it up. You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.
