The kindest people there and the food was so tasty. They have a big variety of Polynesian/Samoan treats and different items to purchase. I'll be back soon.

I would like to give a great recommendation for this Polynesian Store that specializes in Samoan cuisine. Now, I am Samoan and I have no clue if Kathy and her husband are related to me because Samoans are closely knitted depending on what village you come from. One November day in 2023 my girls came home from their Saturday run to Costco and brought some plates from a new Polynesian Store that cooked Samoan food, in Garden Grove, and near me, I live in the City of Orange. It was not bad at all, especially the price. They did not weigh the food. However, you get no choice of dish going into the plate. Whatever they have cooked that day is what the contents will be in the plate. The same concept if you were buying a plate from a relative that was doing a fundraiser selling the plates for $20 dollars, and they did sell the plate for under $20, like $19 and change. The plate I got that day, had lamb flab curry and I do not eat lamb flab. I was glad to give it to my girls who love it. My oldest son was actually the one who discovered it when he went to POUASA'S store in Carson to get some coconut milk cans and they told my son to go to OCI. My family has never been there before. My son just picked up the cans of pe'e pe'e and did not try the food a loyal Pouasa customer. He did try some of the lamb flab and now has been going there regularly. Although we love Pouasa, OCI is more convenient because it is closer to us and we like that the plate was not weighed. A+ for sure to the Chef. On the last Saturday of December 2023 I have initiated our first annual "SUCCESS DINNER" for my children. I hosted a dinner to congratulate all my babies with all they have successfully done and goals they have completed this year. God is good and many thanks to our Blessed Mother Mary for helping with my babies. So proud of them. So for breakfast we had an authentic Samoan menu with green bananas, taro in coconut sauce and onions, palusami, scrumptious mouthwatering succulent baked turkey tails with garlic honey or teriyaki glaze that had all my babies humming and licking every sticky sauce off their fingers. My only regret I should have ordered 100pcs. The chop suey was not enough, and the pagi popo. My youngest 6 mons grandson ate some taro and palusami blended, his first time having any Samoan food, my daughter could not keep up with the delay of scoops, and my grandson was kicking impatiently and hummed himself to sleep. He absolutely loved it. Thanks Kathy and Mr. F. (For the life of me I forgot your name, sorry.) This business deserve FIVE STARS the moon and the sun. Thanks for making my Success Day for my children so special and delicious. Looking forward to December 28th for our 2nd Annual Success Day 2024 to have your delicious food again. Prayers for your business continue success and may this year be ready for our Samoan Breakfast order on the last Saturday of the year. Happy New Year OCI Polynesian Store.God bless,The Soesoe Family

First time here, I went for some take-out Samoan food and they didn't have any, they only have it on Saturdays. Bummer! Its a small place, they have some canned goods, turkey tails, fa'i and kalo. I did buy some German buns and masi Saiga. They also had manapua but it didn't look too appetizing lol I'll try to stop by on a Saturday

One of the few best Samoan restaurants/ Store. Donuts ok. But the authenticity is close to the mother land.
