I loved my plate from this store. The food was perfectly done and it was delicious. I am from Vegas and I happened to be in Utah on the day this store opened. The pretty boy behind the counter was very friendly and his gorgeous smile made me bought more food. He and the Little Polynesia store gave us something to go back for very soon. The chicken and the Beef Teriyaki was the divine. Thank you Little Polynesia and we look forward to seeing you again.

The real deal! The owners regularly travel to Samoa to import real authentic Samoan ingredients. This is a Samoan run store, so while they carry Polynesian goods, its focus is on Samoan items and specialities. Where else can you find freshly frozen cocoa Samoa from the island of Samoa? Most cocoa Samoa is almost always dried out and the actual cacao bean is sometimes not even of Samoan origin. You’ll find this store has it all for those islanders and Utahns looking for speciality items grown from Samoan soil, like dried Kava root. Some places sell Polynesian goods cheaper, but they are usually Asian import items not grown in Samoa, let alone in the Polynesian islands. If you’re buying import items here, it’s because you’re wanting a true product that came from the island Samoa, or was grown in Samoan soil. The owners make an honest effort to deliver freshly
Imported Samoan goods. Nevertheless withstanding, they also provide some mean Samoan food. It’s one the few places where
you can get some delicious Samoan food. My favorite is the Panopano (Butter Fish or Pampano Fish), which is braised in delicious Asian-Samoan ingredients. You’ll find lunch time is its busiest for food and high demand items like the Palusami (baby taro leaf, slow cooked in coconut cream and onions) go fast. If you decide to stop by I recommend you ask the owners Mr and Misses Fafai, what days and times they carry certain food items to avoid leaving empty handed. They can also prepare in advance regularly if you ask nicely. They also have Authentic Samoan jewelry and accessories.

Loved coming in! My hubby loves this place; it was my first time in and I was impressed! The workers were SO friendly, made us feel like family. Food was fantastic--authentic and good. Poke, chicken teriyaki, taro, and lamb curry were fantastic. I'm sure their koko and ponipopo was delicious too, they were just out by the time we got there. Call ahead so they can set what you want aside! Fun to see the items in their store as well, just like what you get in Samoa.

Authentic, delicious hot plates served by friendly people. Prices are very reasonable on the imported food items as well. Wish I lived closer so I can visit more often.
