Dragon Star Oriental Foods

Admittedly, had driven past this store many times, but only finally stopped in when trying Soga Mochi Donuts. Decided to also check out the rest of the store. This is a great place to shop if you're planning an Asian-style meal, as some of the harder to find items can be found here. Also, a huge variety of snacks here, it has become our go-to for Japanese Kit-Kats and funky flavors of Lay's Potato Chips.

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...

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.

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!

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.

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!

Good selection, especially the seafood! Vegetables are always good too. Love getting fresh lobsters from here.

I ordered my food ahead of time for pickup through grub hub. After 20 minutes my order still hadn't been confirmed so I popped into the store. I told them the situation and they checked on my order. The guy came back and said they were having trouble with Grub Hub so the charge would reverse itself shortly.The guy apologized then he re-rung my order and quickly got started making it. My food came out a fewMinutes later hot and fresh. My food is always delicious. I wish they had longer more consistent hours but I get why they don't. Grub hub called plus emailed about my reversal charge so everything worked out. The workers are quiet but nice It was a 10/10 experience even with that technical issue.

Drove from Rochester to Dragon star oriental foods for a big bag of oyster that cost me $65. called them 3 times and no one pick up. They don't have a voice message system set up so I couldn't leave a message to get a hold of anybody. Old expired product being sold.
