Walking in the owners were so welcoming and friendly! I ordered the Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken and Kalua Pork plate that comes with Rice and Pasta Salad, as well as a side of the Spam Musubi. You can tell from the flavors and quality of these authentic dishes that every dish is made fresh with high quality ingredients. What a great experience and I can't wait to come back.

I haven't actually been in the store but we tried to call to see if they had an item we wanted and... No answer and no answer machine. So we drove about 30 mins to get there and there's a note on the door. They are closed for a week. Why can't people update their google hours? Or get an answering machine with a message. I will try again but that was disappointing. FYI they open again Tuesday the 10th of August 2021.UPDATE: We did finally get in there and the owner made fun of my husband the entire time. Because he has long hair he kept calling him chief and followed us around the store. It was super awkward and rude.

The owners are very kind and always willing to serve and educate about the South Pacific Island culture. They have a large variety of products. Love it!

Food reminiscent of home in Samoa. Growing up in Samoa I would remember sitting at the table with the family after a long days work. Eating. Laughing. And enjoying great company. This spot is just that. Great food. Great people. And so much fun. Oh that mango drink slaps man!! I would make the trip just for that!!

This place is Loaded with Aloha, the folks that run this place are Super Cool, down to earth people. Friendly and Fun. I LOVE The Plate Lunches here, it's not your usual chicken katsu, teriyaki etc. They get stuff like Beef Stew, Hamburger Steak, Shoyu Chicken, the kine stuff you'd come home to, what Mom was making for Dinner. They also got the Polynesian grinds, Tim TaMs, Mochi Crunch, Bongo, Twisties any kine. They even get cans wahoo. Koko Samoa, they got clothing and Musubi's, I forgot about that, guava cake too and otai. Saturdays is Polynesian plates!???❤️? If you got the munchies or you need some Aloha in your life, come check this place out.

Absolutely love this place. A totally family run place where JP and family make me feel like I am a part of it. Everyone is so welcoming and you have a smile on your face the whole time you are there. And then there is the food. UNBELIEVABLE AND AMAZING. Cooked fresh the day of and is the BEST POLYNESIAN food in AZ no doubt.

BEST Polynesian food in AZ. Fresh cooked and you can taste the tradition and old family recipe in all the food there. AMAZING Mango and Pineapple drink to go with lunch and everyone there was extremely kind and welcoming. I left with smile and a full belly of great food.

Locally owned and operated by the kindest and thoughtful team, JP Pani & Laukau. Went to pickup a fresh haku lei. Easy ordering, flexible on colors, and my niece looked absolutely magical. Laukau is a talented artist! Stayed for lunch and it blew my expectations away. Roasted pigs out front. JP Pani's huli huli chicken was falling off the bone & the kalua pork was hands down the greatest I've ever had even in Hawaii, Washington, & California. The sapasui (similar to pansit, but with slightly thicker rice noodles) I am unashamed to say rivals my grandmother's! The char sui flavor is very balanced. They were both so welcoming and certainly felt the aloha spirit. Mahalo!

Husband and wife that own the shop are absolutely the nicest people you’ll ever meet! My mom and I will be back there for the amazing food!! With every bite, that was homemade, I was enjoying a little piece of paradise that made my heart happy! There is a sitting area if you want to stay and eat even a shop with snacks known on the islands. The main part of the shop has shirts, shoes, bags, some car decor, necklaces and made to order lei’s.Parking: It’s apart of a plaza so there is plenty of parking

They opened up a little late but communicated on social media. The neighboring restaurant "Popular Noodles" came out with complimentary ice water and we were pleasantly surprised telling them we were waiting for Aloha Market to open. They highly recommended their neighbor! Aloha Island opens up and we're instantly apologetic for opening late, ordered my poly food - unko comes out and apologies for being late but promises to get our food out in 5 seconds Unko comes out with not only the food I ordered, he came out with two extra plates and with a smile on his face stating that we feed our people until they are full! My young adult return missionary sons who were with me each got a plate and hands down we all LOVED the hospitality, customer service and quality! It was worth driving from out West side. #AlohaMarketPlace

The food is GOOD and the owners are AMAZING! Highly recommend the hulihuli chicken, sapasui,kalua pork and the turkey tail. Don't forget the Vaimango, they make it fresh ?I can't tell you anything about the guava cake because he no like share so it must be good. ?
