“I won a ribeye from y'all at a raffle at Mainstreet Bar & Grill in Hopkins. It was fantastic and I'll stop by your store to get more this weekend. . Thanks for supporting independent businesses!”
“If you can find what you’re looking for on sale it’s probably worth it but alot of these prices are starting to just not make sense anymore. I realize it’s a convenience grocery store and that’s OK because it is convenient, but I just don’t buy everything from this spot as a lot of it’s quite unaffordable”
“Very friendly and helpful staff, and a good variety of meat and middle eastern products at a great price! This was my first time here, and I don't know why it took me so long to find them.”
“Bob's is an awesome place for catering an event. We had the fried chicken dinners for our dad’s funeral and everyone raved!! The church ladies also like working with you, which says a lot! It’s also a great place to pick up lunch or dinner or a do a quick grocery trip.”
“Fresh, local produce in what can be referred to as the food desert of North. The staff are nice. It can be a bit pricey, and sometimes things will be out of stock, but I am so glad to have them in the neighborhood. They also host events such as zumba, makers markets, and community outreach programs.”
“I think this place is great I should have given it five and I think I'll go make the change. That is five star. Prices are good selection is good and the service was good. Way to go solo grocery”
“I just stopped in today to pick up some potato bake for Easter & pickles. I carried my 7 month old in her car seat & the gentleman who rang me out, I believe his name is Noah offered to carry my bag out to the car for me. It was very kind & great customer service :)”
“We bought their frozen Shepherd's Pie and it was excellent! Plenty 0f meat and the savory gravy was one of the best I've ever had. We will definitely get it again as well as try some of the other frozen meals”
“Twin Cities Live on KSTP mentioned this place, so I stopped by. I was amazed at all the selections of meats, foods, seasonings, sauces, jerkies, and beef sticks—so much to choose from! My favorite was the garlic beef sticks. I will definitely be back.”
“Honestly not a bad place to deliver. They were pretty fast at unloading. Receiving is located on Minnehaha Ave. Can stage in the center lane if there are trucks backed up onto the 2 dock doors.”

“A bit tightly packed space and slightly expensive but nothing else to.complain.
Update 3/1/25 : over the years they have improved the layout and gotten much better at identifying the items and prices. Given the growth of Indian population and almost everyone around NW suburbs visiting, they could consider lowering the Covid inflated prices.”

“We’ve been members for as long as I can remember. Great small co-op with excellent local selections. They’ve done a lot over the past few years to stock products that are price-accessible, though overall the selections are a little on the expensive side. The deli section never disappoints. The staff are always friendly and attentive.(The Hungarian mushroom soup was the best, but they haven’t had it for a couple years now!)”
“Dragon Star Supermarket is a fantastic international grocery store. It offers a vast selection of specialty items, making it a great place to explore different cuisines and ingredients. The prices on their meat and fish are excellent, providing good value for your money.
One of the highlights of Dragon Star Supermarket is undoubtedly the hot food area. You can easily spend a significant amount of time browsing the aisles and discovering new products.
My family loves Dragon Star Supermarket! The diverse selection of international foods and spices is particularly appealing. It's also been a staple for us, especially because it makes it easier to find a variety of African staple foods for my grandma to enjoy.
It's also worth noting that, although I haven't personally experienced any issues, some friends of mine have mentioned the importance of checking the expiration dates on the spices they might be expired or covered with a different expiration date.
This is a good practice to follow in general, and Dragon Star Supermarket seems to provide a good selection of international products, including spices.”
