Great store. You can locate great ingredients here that are hard to find. Plus the donut and hot dog vendors. The only thing I cannot find here is lumpia. They have a large selection of sauces, noodles and even dishes. Allow at least 30 minutes to explore the store. They have many types of rice too.

Huge variety, I was looking for Organ meat because I make my own dog food and I use only the best parts for my little Angel! The love of my life is a 5 pound Yorkie Poo. I want her to live a long and very happy/healthy life! I found cuts I hadn't thought of...like kidneys, stomach and uterus. I didn't buy stomach or uterus because I wouldn't be able to eat those parts, but they are an option.

Good prices and selection. Came in search of narutomaki which i could not find anywhere else. I found it here along other variety fish cakes. And was about 3.50 for a 3.7oz compare to amazon at 18 for a 16oz. Plus 18 shipping. Clean inside... Friendly staff...

This store expands from its original structure as I remember. They have more food and they are now more organized. Their seafood sections has been renovated as much more cleaner than before. The bathroom is where all the goods are and in the front row they have all the candies, so is a bit confused because all the food are not together. Their fresh meats, sometimes it's a hit or miss because some meat are changing color to blue brown, where, as some seems like freshly packed in new. I think there is nothing that you can't find in the store they have a lot of variety of ethnic food. The seafood counter offer, customer service, and sometime it's hard to find a worker that can help you locate things in the store. They have a couple lane of cashiers, which is good. Store is clean and nice but the organizations it's a little unorganized because some of the food and because are in different section of the stores. Their produce section is organized. They do have two restaurants in the store for Korean dogs and mochi donuts.. Parking sometimes in the weekend is a hassle. Because the parking is small. The store also has a jewelry or gold store in the front.

There are closer Asian markets to me, but this is the one I go to. It is big enough that if you're looking for something you might need for anything remotely Asian-food related, you're as likely to find it here as anywhere in the Twin Cities. That even includes some kitchenware and appliances, but mostly it means every kind of rice, produce, meat, sauce, and frozen food item. Especially the latter! What really sweetens the deal is two counters they have in the front section: a Korean hot dog counter and a Soga mochi donut counter. Everything at those counters is tasty and made-fresh, and if you manage to get a big box of those mochi donuts and bring it to a party, you will definitely be the hero of that party. Unfortunately, ordering these items is challenging. Almost every time I come here, there is no one at the counters even though it's within their opening hours. Placing orders at these counters is annoying enough that I don't do it any more, but I'm told you can order the mochi donuts in advance somewhere on a website, and I'd recommend looking into that. I really don't like the parking lot. It's too small and a little scary. Just be careful when arriving & departing by car. It's never particularly clean, but in that area it compares with many large grocery stores that all of us would still patronize. If I were in charge I'd try to get better at that, but whatever; I'm still going to keep coming here for this stuff, and you should try it if you haven't!

What a great spot! United Noodles is my usual stop, but this was closer to my final destination so I popped in to see what their dim sum collection looked like. Now, I think this might be my new destination grocery store. You walk into what feels like a fairly unassuming Asian supermarket with produce, candy, chips... But, there's more! Through a little corridor, you're about to step into heaven. Rows and rows of plates and bowls, freezers stocked with fish cakes and balls, frozen meats and seafoods, and what I came for: an incredible selection of dim sum. Multiple options of each dim sum type. I got taro steamed buns, custard steamed buns, and pork and leek dumplings. So easy to whip up: I steamed the buns at home, and then pan fried the dumplings. They tasted as good as fresh! My family was impressed. I can't wait to come back here and pick up hot pot materials. It seems like the perfect place to load up on the extras that make meals truly special.

This supermarket was so fun!! They have tons of cool and unique items to try! If you are feeling adventurous, give this place a try!! I got 3 different types of chips like chicken flavor Cheetos! I will definitely be back to try more items!! As for the in house street food area that serves Korean hotdogs, sandwiches, wantons, bubble tea ect... I would give that 3 stars. The bubble tea was average. The Korean hot dogs didn't really have flavor and were over cooked. The wantons have a sweet cream cheese and were cheap, they were tasty. Soga Mochi is right next to this and is DEFINITELY worth getting!! Overall, go check this place out!! I won't be back to the street food area but Soga mochi and the supermarket I will definitely be going back to!

Yes, just like the other reviewers Soga Mochi donuts brought me here! I came to check out this store to try out the gluten-free donuts from Japan. So delightful! Oh and to find a Korean Hot Dog stand, there too, was a bonus! Then when you pass the food court...into the grocery store...wow! You walk into a ginormous, overwhelming array of groceries...making it fun to walk through and explore! It's exciting to see all the interesting food and products.... like...OMG... hey have Japanese Hair Dyes! Now I used to buy Japanese Hair Dyes at United Noodles, but they have been lacking lately on Asian hair colors and makeup lately...so I was delighted to find these at Dragon Star! A fun place to visit, on a day when you have the time and be willing to explore!

The Soga Mochi donuts brought me here and I'm so glad they did. I so enjoyed walking through the store and seeing all the colors and interesting food. Their produce department was fresh and quite stunning in variety and colors. I bought some pea pods and Chinese cauliflower but it was hard to choose just a couple of things. I also scored a ginormous bag of puffed rice. I love that as cereal and can never find it in typical grocery stores like Cub, Hy-vee, or Byerlys. So excited about the puffed rice.

Achievement unlocked - captured variety pack of Mochi Donut! The donut location has different hours than the grocery store. The line might seem long, but it moves quickly. Don't wait to late in the day, as they can sell out! All of the varieties are wonderful. Crisp yet fluffy morsels of heaven! Not too sweet - the donuts are craveable. If you haven't been to Dragon Star - go. Love this neighborhood gem. I love the diversity of foods.
