I’ve been going to Red Star for years. The store is not that big, but it big on selections of all sorts of exotic flavors. Every time I go in I still can’t help but to explore up and down every aisle . I go there for Mr.Wong’s generous selection of Goya brand products, Matok’s and Walkerwood brand jerk seasonings, but I generally also end up picking up some new ingredient that I can’t find anywhere else.

My personal favorite family owned international store in Sacramento, CA. Been coming here for 10 years now. There's are just a few of the many authentic items they sell!I seen a few reviews that the food items are expired and the store itself is not clean at all. I say come in and see for yourself. A few items that are past date have a sign and are marked down if it is within a reasonable time. A lot has changed about the store and still more to come.

You can get foods here you cannot find anywhere else. They are truly international. We can depend on RED Star!!!

A good range of ethnic middle eastern and African grocery at reasonable prices. They do need to tidy up (and maybe declutter) the store though

I never wrote a review for Red Star?! How did THAT happen??? Never worry, I'm here to fix that :) Red Star has been one store that has been a huge part of my life, since middle school (or maybe even before that). My mom has always brought me and my brothers along with her to buy caribbean food (particularly particular fish that isn't sold anywhere else!), seasonings, treats, and drinks (malt is my guilty pleasure!). Whatever can't be find at grocery stores, guaranteed it can be found at Red Star! Crazy how time flies! The owner always had his son with him in the store (when going there as a youngin'). Fast forward to today, and you can be pleasantly serviced by his son at the register. While the dad is in the aisles stocking or providing help when searching for products. He always says "hello" when coming into the store. :) The only downside, is there are sometimes expired items on the shelves. You just have to be extra vigilant and double check those bottles and cans before paying. If you do end up buying something expired, they will happily refund you what you paid for it. I would say I will be back. But, you already know I will be for my next Goya or Vita brand malt fix. Or when my mama is gonna cook up some yummy island cuisine. Yum-my! :)

They always have so many options for Liberian food here from palm butter, cassava, edo, plantains ripe and unripe, palm oil, sardines, farina, magi, and etc. On top if that 9/10 the food is always fresh and there's rarely products that have gone bad.

They do have an assortment of Goya products for cooking Puerto Rican and Cuban foods. However very very little fresh produce. I bought two cans of Goya seasoned pink beans. Didn't notice til I got home, cans were expired back in 2021 (over 2 yrs. old!). Check your dates on those cans & packages when you shop here. Minimal frozen stuff that wasn't available & in need of (frozen guneo/frozen green banana). The 2 stars was for the expired cans of beans and lack of availability.

I was in the SAC AREA and looked up African store and this store popped up. Lol. It was a A Asian market and well stocked with what I had on y list. The young man that was there was very knowledgeable about where the items I wanted was. I will be returning.
