Saturday plates never disappoint!! Everything is cooked really well + well flavored. Their sapasui has kind of a stronger ginger taste, but the price is not bad. Definitely great convenient place to get hot plates! Pineapple pies are 20/10 when they're fresh out the oven!! The pie does shrivel once it cools. Manapuas are also really good! Both the lamb and pork! Not overly priced in my opinion! They're always friendly too! They have some shirts, flags, jewelry, poly merch, and even puletahas. Great store overall! read more

Talofa everyone, today is my third time going there for their plate lunch which is always oblivious The difference today is I wanted to order 6 taros, 6 fasi povi, and 6 multi pipi, so I called them and they said they could have ready for me when I get there. I was so pleased with the service and the food is always delicious and at a reasonable price. Thank you both so much for the friendly service with a smile, the alofa you genuinely shown to everyone who walks through your doors, and may God Almighty continue to Bless you and the your family always read more

The food was delicious. The owners Cathy and Mu were very kind and friendly. The interior was very clean and orderly. Very easy to find anything you are looking for. Not overly crowded with items that you don't need. My favorite part of the visit today has to be the pain fala. So very hard to find the right recipe like my mom used to make. One last thing I liked was they open early 9am and close later 6pm then most Samoan food places I know. Overall a great trip to the OC from the LBC. Thank you so much. read more

OCI Polynesian Store - Outside front of establishment. - Grocery Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Finally!! ! It's about time OC has an authentic Polynesian store! If it wasn't for us driving around in lil Saigon one evening, we wouldn't have ever known about this place. OCI Polynesian Store is definitely a hidden gem. The first time my hubby saw this place, it was closed & we made note of it to check it out when it was open. Today was the day! We were driving down Garden Grove Blvd & the open sign was on. The entrance is a one way only so don't make a left into the first entrance! We parked & what a cute family owned store inside. There was goodies I have never heard of or seen before - specialty hard to find items I know that came from the Islands. Watties Spaghetti, Fiji Ocean Mackerel, Bongos, Fiji UFO's & lets not forget about the home cooked goods this place has to offer ! Besides food, you can pick up sarong, jewelry, 676 snapbacks, & other items. We met uso Mu & Cathy, the owners. They were the absolute sweetest ! My hubby is part Polynesian & I can't get over how warm & welcoming we were treated. We felt like family ! Such generous people. Much love to this store ! Please stop by & show your support to local businesses ! We will be sure to return ! Fa'afetai tele lava ! read more

Up and coming Polynesian store in Garden Grove. Tucked in a small shopping center, it is easy to miss. We happened to avoid the 22 Freeway while driving home from The Block in Orange and took Garden Grove Blvd. The Galway light stopped us and husband looked to our right and saw OCI Polynesian Store. We went through the green and had to do a U-turn. There is ample parking in the back of the building. When we entered, husband went straight for the right corner of the store, where he immediately saw panipopo and palusami. He HAD to get those. To the left was a jewelry case of wooden or coconut handcrafted Polynesian earrings, and ie lavalavas. Husband was in Heaven. The whole time we have been in the mainland we have not been to a Poly-specific store. It was always an Asian market that had a few Polynesian foods. They have taro and leaves if you like to make your own homemade foods. I included a picture of me, husband, and one of the store owners. She helped me pick out earrings. read more

My first time ordering the pineapple pies and German buns from OCI and they were absolutely delicious. The mini size pies were much bigger than the mini size I was expecting so I was very excited about that. The service was very professional and Kathy even delivered to goods to our chapel. The presentation of the pies made my husband drool in the parking lot. Tasty and beautiful Kathy and Mua are very friendly and helpful in store and via telephone. Now placing our orders once a month with them for my husband's class. Thank you OCI Polynesian Store read more

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 read more

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 read more
