What is philanthropy? I have shopped at this place for over 10 years on almost a weekly basis, spending an average of $50 each time.

Great seafood selection and more... – We have been shopping at the Dragon Star for several years. It is our number one place to get Dungenous Crab, Lobster, Oysters, Shrimp, Geoduck, and more. They also carry many unique vegetables, fabulous foreign spices and sauces. If you haven't tried them you are definitely missing out.

Just antoher Oriental food mart This place is a step down from places liek United Noodle. Facilities are old and nto as well kept. The prices are at times cheaper but many are of lower quality.

Dragon Star Oriental Foods Incorporated I like to go to this store to find new/ different foods to try. The prices on things that are hard to find in others stores, tend to be lower than if you do find it in a typical grocery store. I have found some good deals, & some really interesting foods in this store. It doesn't smell very good on the side of the store where the meat, & seafood is, I have never looked at the quality or the price of meat for this reaon. The service is not real friendly, nor do the employee speak englis... read more
