Jin's Market

I like this place better than the old Dot's that was in the corner a while back. Its much more organized and all in stainless food warmers. Corned beef and cabbage, palusami (luau leaves with coconut milk and onions. Looks like a little laulau), taro, banana and fe'e (squid w/coconut milk and onions) just permeates the air when you walk in. Being able to free range in here is a bad idea if your familiar with the food. The plate starts to get heavy, you run out of space on the plate and theres still other stuff to get. If its not that, its the sticker shock when you pay for your stuff. Single items like the palusami and food by the pound like the poke and the fe'e has its own price while the others in the warmer get weighed together. So when it gets rung up and $27.00 and some change later, you learn to get one staple and two main and get out. Apparently, I still haven't learned that.The food here is obviously expensive. It is definitely worth the price though. The plate I made could feed three people easy and no I didnt eat it all, lots were taken home with me. The workers here are really nice and helpful. The parking is small but never did I have a problem getting one. The stalls are angled down towards the stream so if you reverse or pull straight in, it would be wise to use your parking brake just so you know your car will be there when you come out and not in the stream.

Only been here a handful of times over the years. There's lots of little markets within a block of this place so it does have lots of competition, but I like coming here when I'm waiting for the bus to get a snack. There's a lot to choose from in the hot food section as well as plenty pastry like goodies at the front. I got some bwiro here once, assuming it was the sweet kind you get at keemems. Turned out it was the straight up kind without any sugar, so that was a bit surprising and disappointing but I guess that's my bad.. the downside to this place are it's prices! Ughhh man that's probably why I'm so butt hurt about the bwiro - it cost $8 and I couldn't even eat it! Dang it. I would recommend this place to fellow bus riders and for snacks when you got some $$ to spend - just make sure you know what you're buying ;)

This is the best place to get Samoan Food!! Very good pani popo, huge fish in oka, which was very tasty, banana was also amazing. A little bit pricey but it worth.

We have had eaten here several times before but this time it was terrible. The shop itself has been extended, parking lot enclosed and upgraded.However the food quality was poor. It was really expensive for 2 plates, raw fish and 2 pineapple half moon pies it cost us $57. Way too pricey for the quality. The chop suey was greasy with hardly any meat. The raw fish we spent $14.99 a pound for tasted bad. I should've known that when the coconut milk was bubbly that it was probably diluted..Octopus tasted old. The food just didn't taste fresh. Now the biggest disappointment was the pineapple pies. There was hardly any pineapple in the pies and the custard was like a watered down jello. The pastry was thin and chewy which means it was made very cheaply. My husband always tries to go out of his way to pick up food from here- now never again!

This is a great place to Eat Local! You can get lots of locally grown starches, cooked and raw, such as breadfruit, taro, tapioca, coconut, and sweet potato. Most of these also come cooked in coconut milk. They also have hot food (not local except for the octopus). I would recommend the taro cooked in coconut.
