Juanita's Polynesian Delights

Did a last minute order of Panipopo trays for my sons Culture Day at school. And Juanita and her husband came through for me. They were so nice when I had placed my order over the phone and told me to just pay when I pick up my order. They didn't even care for me to pay first before they do my order. They were willing to wake up early the nxt day so I can pick up my order at 11am. Good people. The panipopo was bomb. My son's teacher and aides loved the panipopo. They killed it. All gone. They said nothing but good news on how delicious it was for their first time tasting panipopo. I would order again.

Ok 1st off my photos do a great disservice to the food. I let my curiosity get the best of me. My 1st time ever having Polynesian food.

The super sweet lady who I want to call Grams.(Grandma) was the sweetest person I've encountered in a while. Her lvl of patience with my questions and mispronouncing of some of the dishes was above board. She gave me samples of just about everything. To be honest thats part of the reason my eyes were bigger than my stomach

The food 5/5
Lamb, corned beef, and turkey tail was tender, and flavorful basically delicious.
The Taros leaves were so good. I didn't even know turkey tail was a thing. But hot dang it was good.

I definitely have to go back with some self control.

Juanita is a cool friendly auntie that just beams awesome sauce. I was craving turkey tail and she the only one who makes it well. She got the flavor down on everything. So far, no bad dishes. Loved it so much, I went yesterday for the first time and I’m preparing to go there in half an hour. I’m currently finishing the leftovers from last night. Just found my new favorite restaurant. Prices are great, food is plentiful, and auntie is cool af. Five stars all around.

A great go-to for a fast and flavorful meal.

It was my first time to try Polynesian food. The restaurant was clean and the owner was friendly. The food was delicious, affordable, and ready to go. The flavors were unique. Some dishes are interestingly offering a flavor close to Chinese food. All the food were well prepared.

Absolutely delicious! Everything was a standout but the turkey tail was especially memorable. Food is priced by weight and excellent value! All the meat melts in your mouth.

Found this place browsing Google for lunch spots in Newark and am I glad I did. The food was seriously delicious - we tried a bit of everything: very tender lamb, sausage, turkey tail (new to me, and delightful), corned beef, taro, green bananas, and some greens with coconut milk (forgot their name). It was all very good, but my favorites were the desserts - one was a banana and coconut milk sort of pudding with tapioca, and I could probably eat a small bucket it was so good. The other was a cocoa rice that has one of the most incredible cocoa flavors I've ever had - more of an almost fruity cocoa flavor, but still very much cocoa. Delightful. Will certainly be back!

Very reasonable prices and great service.

Wonderful and kind people run this shop. They had almost no vegetarian options so I got the pineapple custard pie which was yum! Juanita also refused payment for the mango passion fruit smoothie just to make up for not having vegetarian entrees, and it was priceless in taste as well! They are open most of the days but it may seem like they are closed when you see from the road. Drive into the parking lot to find the entrance.
