    This spot is a true hidden gem for samoan food in Carson! Food was delicious and you can tell everything is fresh and homemade. Everything on my plate was seasoned to perfection and did not disappoint. Staff was extremely kind with attentive service and the ambiance was inviting with many decorations. Hope to be back soon to try other things on the menu!

    Don't sleep on this place the chef is phenomenal the food was fantastic the family vibe is there and they do good business. I ordered a plate of lamb ribs, turkey tail, mackerel in coconut milk, cornbread luau, fa'i in coconut milk, sapsui and meat pies. All were fantastic the meat pies where new from last time I went their and great add on was great after a warm up in the air fryer. Any time I'm in long beach I'm grabbing something from here.

    Best Samoan food in Southern California, hands down. My team had never tried Samoan food so I decided to order a spread for them! Everything was great and made it early enough to get some Pani Popo. Everything was amazing and I think you gained some new fans of Samoan food which was the whole purpose.

    - Poly Grill is Popping this morning like every morning. Top of the Line Samoan Food Spot in the local L.A. and O.C. Area..!

    One of the Best Samoan Food Spots in the Los Angeles and Orange County Area. Their Bakery Goods are Top of the Line as well. They also Sell Fried Pork Skins and my Favorite is the Fried Chicken Skin. If you haven't been You should Definitely stop in and Buy Something So You Can Try Something...!

    I had never tried poly food before so I was excited seeing what was on the menu. Poly is a small take-out spot but packs a BIG punch in terms of taste flavor and just feel-good comfort food. The New Zealand sausage is bomb. I also liked their chop suey, chicken curry, turkey tail and mussels. First time here so I was limited to what I could get. I liked this place so much I came back the next day. It was that good!!This spot is clean and cosey. The workers here are very nice and you can feel the love they put in the food. You just feel welcomed coming here to get great tasting food. I will try their meat pie next time since they run out quick. Thank you to my friend for introducing me to Polynesian food. This place is a gem and I wish there was one just like it near where I live in Anaheim. Thanks Poly. Now I need me a souvenir shirt.

    The meat pie was 70% cheese & had meat with one mushroom in the filling. Most meat pies are 90% meat in New Zealand.

    I love their food and been here a few times. Today I bought more meat pies and when I cut it open to see how much meat was in it, there was less than half. That's why the 3 rating. It has the meat, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. It was mostly cheese (70%) and felt disappointed becuz the meat pies I had last week had more meat. Or I felt it had more meat. In New Zealand it's mostly meat with less fillers . They have different flavors. But delicious taste at Poly's. I just won't buy them anymore. Plus I ordered 2 pieces of baked taro and the girl gave me 3 instead & I was flabbergasted that those 3 pieces cost me $30!! I didn't know until I got home that she gave me 3 instead of 2. They charge you by the weight. That's way too much. Service was great. People are nice. Ambiance nice. Small mom & pop bakery. Tables to sit and eat. Clean and neat. Prices too are too high.

    Poly Grill is da bomb!! Wish they were closer so I can get me some delicious Samoan food. This hidden island gem is located on Carson St right by the 405 freeway. My favorite is the sapasui, povi, and palusami. No other place makes their palusami like Poly Grill!! The type of noodles they use makes the texture of the sapasui delish, and I can't find this noodle at any store!! The povi is so good and pairs extremely well w the creamy palusami. I don't really eat taro and banana but I like the way they make theirs!! Family owned and operated, very friendly and helpful. May be a bit pricey but then again so is everything else!! We've tried other Samoan food between LA, SD, & Riverside and Poly Grill is BY FAR THE BEST!!! They make fresh bread (unsliced) and it's so yummy!! Great half moon pies too!! Don't forget the traditional Anchor butter (imported from New Zealand) bc it's sooooo delish w the fresh warm bread!! Highly recommend if you're craving Samoan food. And I also like coming here bc it's a far drive and I love food ventures!!

    This is our second time driving out to Poly. Grill &Bakery. Today we picked up some Turkey Tail, sausage. Corned beef, Taro in coconut milk and Sapa Sui. So good we forgot to get a picture. But we also ordered Half moon pies, Palusami, to pick up the next day Once we were there to pick up the items, we also tried the Pani Popo, Panikeke, and the Suafa'i. Can't say enough on how good they each tasted. My husband said each item was just like home cooking and for me it reminded me of visiting of our family gatherings. The location is easy to find. Not to far off the freeway. Once inside look over the prepared food and let them know is what you would like from the prepared food. We were thankful to meet Miracle, she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of each item we ordered. Next time you stop in, talk with the staff, let them show you all the choices.

    See all

    Do I need to order the panipopo in advance?

    Hello! You don’t have to because we make it fresh everyday, but it would be better to order it just in case we sell out.

    Polynesian foods from which countries (specifically)? Samoan, Fijian or? I know there are many overlaps but am wondering regional specialties are available.

Expect a line, always. If there's a wait, that just means they're busy and always in demand of fresh breads! I highly suggest coming in the morning versus afternoon because they will run out. If you do need huge quantities, then preorder. There's only one cash register at all times, hence the long wait. Be patient! I love that it's in a huge plaza with Seafood City, Jollibee, Chow King and Red Ribbon! Parking is huge but again, it's always busy here! Plan accordingly. If you've read this far, thanks! (: I've been going to this Valerio's since childhood. This is our go-to for fresh pandesal! My parents and relatives always bought from here.

I ordered the strawberry cream croissant, and it was absolutely amazing. It was light, airy, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The pastry itself was perfectly flaky and buttery every bite was delicious. I can definitely see why this place is such a big hit! I also tried the iced condensed coffee. It was definitely strong, but also incredibly creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. It paired perfectly with the croissant. Another plus is that they have plenty of parking and lots of seating, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a coffee and dessert. If you're looking for a delicious pastry and a good cup of coffee, this is a wonderful little spot to check out.

Few key notes: * There's a small free private parking lot and it is almost never 100% full even during busy hours. * While the bakery closes at 7 PM, come before lunch hours to get the full selection of baked goods and refrigerated sandwich options; otherwise, many of these items sell out before closing time. * Plenty of indoor tables, but no outdoor seating. * S-tier items: strawberry croissant, sticky bun, steamed pork bun. * A-tier items: half turkey avocado sandwich, pork katsu sandwich box, matcha cake * B-tier items: almond croissant, drip coffee. This is a nice grab-and-go spot for anyone who is looking for a quick bite and quality baked goods. Personally, this is not an ideal first-date spot or a place for really good coffee - stick with places like Corridor Flow just few blocks away.

NOT AUTHENTIC nor original. It's sad that Filipinos are serving this and it's not even what it's supposed to be. Didn't even have the beans nor the other fixings to make it a true halo-halo. Only the green and red jelly, and flan. That's it. Worst of all, they blend the ice and evaporated milk with brown sugar. Not the original. I asked them if they just had original halo-halo and they said yes, so I paid. When it was done, what they gave me was brown ice inside of my halo-halo. I thought it was mixed with coffee but they said it was with brown sugar. I was like okay whatever I'll try it. It was SO OVERLY sweet. They should have left it alone and not messed with the original recipe. It was sugar on top of sugar, and was sweet on top of sweet. It was hard for me to finish it, let alone pay so much for it. There was no balance. Everything was so sweet. Customer service was also nonexistent. The people that work there don't greet at all. Didn't even say a word while we stood at the register until we opened our mouth to order. The young girls that work here don't seem to care. I asked questions and they were nonchalant about everything. Didn't really explain much, clearly I was new. My order also came out within a minute! Meaning everything was pre-made. Now I can see why there's no customers here on the weekend (Saturday). Those are always indicators of a slow business. Too expensive, no customer service, and not authentic. Will not be returning. First and LAST time. *I will do them a favor by posting a nice photo I took*
