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.

Mulipipi was so good. I don’t even like turkey tail and I ordered it on a whim. Glad I did!

What can I say, the food is obviously amazing. The turkey tails are one of the most delicious food I have ever had. The seasoning/sauce is perfect. The fat melts in your mouth like butter. They also have lamb ribs and corned beef which were also great.A true hole in the wall spot. Don’t expect to go on a date here. Nothing fancy. Take your food and enjoy it at home. They do have chairs and tables when you just can’t wait to dig in.Not the best looking photo but in here is the turkey tail mentioned earlier, ribs, corned beef, taro leaves, yams and banana. They usually have rice but the meats still paired well with the yams.Juanita and her husband are sweet. They always throw a little something in my plate ever since I’ve been going more recently. I guess they notices that I’m a regular now lol.
