Boutique Samoa Market

SAMOA 🇼🇸
Eat the World LA review:
Samoa is the birthplace of the second largest amount of people of Pacific Islander origin in the United States after only Hawai'i, with Los Angeles being the largest community of them on the mainland (Honolulu has more). If that sentence did not have enough fun facts in it for you, it is also worth noting that more Samoans now live in the US than in Samoa. Despite this, they leave a fairly small footprint in our area and it takes some tracking down as some restaurants and steam tables have closed over the years.

One place to find food prepared daily is at the back of a very nondescript strip mall on Western Avenue in Anaheim, once again proving the point that driving too fast is not only dangerous but a good way to miss the good stuff.

The shop sells colorful printed shirts, bags of chips and candy from Australia and New Zealand that must be available in Samoa, some fresh produce, and flags and other memorabilia. The main focus for us of course was the steam table and prepared foods, of which they have three sizes of meals depending on how hungry you are. The already gigantic lunch ($11.99) is technically the smallest but feeds three (non-islander noobs) and consists of taro and banana under a sausage (sosisi) on one half with lamb over a base of sapasui, or Samoan-style chow mein on the other.

Great place to get a plate. The Kalo and the palusami is a must! Sometimes they also have other island products here.

Haven't been here in a long time and was so stoked to find out they were still here! It's under new management and they're real cool people. They've got a bunch of neat stuff but for sure you gota try the pineapple pie, it's amazing :)

Ok I really dont yelp... but here it is.. Today was our last day in socal. And I asked my husband lets go and checked out a Samoan store on our way back to San Francisco and we ended up at this store... and let me tell you.. we open the door and there were 2 young women and a gentleman that we serving the food.. as we walked in they had greeted us with a beautiful smile and a gentle smile. And my son wanted a hat, which he got and my mother in law and husband got a matai plate and my mother in law got her a lamb and taro.. sorry I wanted one but blood pressure issues lol.. I had to turn it down.. but anyway my husband is very hard man to please and he loved it.. and even my mother.. they said it doesnt look appetizing and its so good..
I got 2 German buns that um going to wait until it get home and warm up and eat..
My mom always said to her kids.. its not the food that people get full from its its your smile.. and I always believed in that.. keep smiling thanks for the great experience.. Tipoti family from San Francisco
