Pacific Seas Restaurant

The 29 Best Restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah | Eater

"This family-owned restaurant and market specializes in Polynesian food, and has become a beloved gathering place for Polynesian Americans in the community. For decades the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has sent missionaries to the Pacific region, inspiring migration both ways, historical culture ties, and a mutual love of Pacific Islander cuisines. Pacific Seas serves island favorites including Hawaiian musubi, Samoan muli pipi (turkey tails boiled and fried), Tongan lu/luau (taro leaves served with lamb), and whole fried golden pompano. Wash it all down with a refreshing mango ’otai, a blend of fresh mango, pineapple, and coconut. Must-try dish: Don’t forget a bag of Bongo baked chips in flavors like cheese or chicken, imported from Fiji." - Sarah Entwistle
