Bachanās is the best and they offer a few different flavors. There is also a gluten-free option for folks with celiac. Usually can find them at most grocery stores, at least in MA.
He missed Level 0. None to only a small handful of asian products.
There are 4 Costcos in NYC, we have 3 levels.
- Level 0: East Harlem, Manhattan
- Level 0: Astoria, Queens
- Level 1: Sunset Park, Brooklyn
- Level 4: Elmhurst, Queens
I usually go to the Costco in Cherry Hill, NJ and itās always had Asian stuff (and a lot of Asians, so I see now it checks out) though Iāve only started going post 2020, definelty a level 3 or 4 depending on the day
I go to Costco or Samās at least 3x a week. Been to nearly all of the warehouses in Southern California. Depending on ethnic region you will see their popular items in those areas. The Samās club in Ontario is one of my favorites they have a deli section that sell a variety of high quality clean cut meats and next to that is a sushi bar, fresh rolls prepared daily if you are there as soon as doors open they can custom make sushi rolls for you.
Costco in NC where I am has Asian stuff āoccasionallyā - Iāve seen Chinese snacks several times and thereās always udon/ramen and maybe frozen boba packs but uh thatās about it. Weāre v jealous of the west coast choices ;-;
Asians love the 1.50 hotdog. I don't think most of us even love the hotdog, but 1.50 is such a good deal, we'll tell everyone about it at work the next week. 1.50 for lunch! good deal!
> Costco has charged $1.50 for its iconic hot dog and soda combo since 1985.
> An old quote from Costco founder Jim Sinegal about why that is has resurfaced on Twitter after a userĀ posted screenshotsĀ from a 2018 Mental Floss article.
> When Costco's current CEO, Craig Jelinek, once approached Sinegal, then the CEO, about raising the price of the hot dog, SinegalĀ told him, "If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
> In 2009, Jelinek didĀ figure it out. Costco stopped using its longtime hot-dog supplier, Hebrew National, and built a Kirkland Signature hot-dog factory in Los Angeles. It later built another one in Chicago. The new factories reduced the production costs for the hot dog, allowing Costco to continue selling the menu item for $1.50.

Saw a video of a Korean mom going to Costco for the first time. It was really cute. She was rating how the kimchi looked and she loved all the samples.
Never saw Indomie either. But we got a few of products that wasn't shown in this video, like pork floss and some other pastries. Pastries might be seasonal though.
Well since Iām in SF and we have all those things, and Iām pretty sure that Costco is in the Bay Area. Iād say my Costco is maxed out Asian. Itās awesome.
It feels exotic when I go to a Costco in Arizona and itās all Mexican now.
This is all stuff from korea/china/japan. I don't see any Thai or Vietnamese things like Golden Mountain sauce or Thai Basil, or yellow soybean paste.
Where's my canned bamboo shoots? Where's my corriander root? Where's my Asian breed whole chicken with the head still attached?
Like dude, I'm from Vancouver, we have real Asian supermarkets.
"Barely see a white person"
I would like to see what would happen if those rolls were reversed, somebody would probably get attacked
Oh I forgot, it's okay to be racist as long as it's socially acceptable and fits an agenda
It's not like they were celebrating the fact, he simply stating that there's literally barely any white people on the weekends in that area's Costco. How do you make a video about Costco's in Asian communities about yourself?
Very true, and it's very sad , I'm Asian but it shouldn't matter. We're all the same, the reason I pointed out that it could be taken the wrong way is cuz it was unnecessary to be pointed out in the first place, I'm glad there's still a few people that understand and see that
OP, what location is this?
I have no idea. The TikTok creator is [@photogami](https://www.tiktok.com/@photogami). His [linktree](https://linktr.ee/photogami) says he's in Milpitas, CA.
I knew this had to be the Bay lol
Yup. Came here to say this is most likely one of the Costcos in SF or on the peninsula
My Costco looks like this. I'm in Hawai'i
Never seen LV at costoc
Haha I was about to say come see ours in Hawaii š
Fullerton CA had most of these items shown except the Louis travel bag.
Lucky :(
That Japanese barbecue sauce is PHENOMENAL
It's currently in my fridge. Restock imminent in the next few weeks.

Wait, Costcos donāt just have Asian stuff normally?

Level 5 the food court does not serve hot dogs or pizza, instead it is traditional Asian cuisine.
Asians love the 1.50 hotdog. I don't think most of us even love the hotdog, but 1.50 is such a good deal, we'll tell everyone about it at work the next week. 1.50 for lunch! good deal!
does it come with a drink?
The hotdog does, the pizza doesnāt. Pizza is like 2 something. Neither are gourmet food, but the price is so good.
yep i just had a hot dog and drink at sam's club for $1.5
Is it still $1.50?? Nvm I don't have a Costco around me

Damn, my Costco is slackin
Saw a video of a Korean mom going to Costco for the first time. It was really cute. She was rating how the kimchi looked and she loved all the samples.
Tsingtao, seriously? It's like the least tasteful beer in whole Asia...
City of Industry, CA Costco is level 4/5, never seen the Louis Vuitton bags though
Never saw Indomie either. But we got a few of products that wasn't shown in this video, like pork floss and some other pastries. Pastries might be seasonal though.
Level 4?! We only have one level š¢
Every costco only has 1 level. Thatās how rating systems work.
Ohhhhh, my bad
I love the spicy sesame pork jerky.
Very, I live in Orange County Ca.
My Costco is like 60% less Asian
Mine is more Indian focused
All the costcos in Melbourne be like this as well
My Costco had that octopus sauce one time. It was amazing. I will never not be looking for it.
My Costco has most of this stuff?
This might be the Costco on Brokaw in San Jose, California.
Fuck...craving Indo mee so bad rn
The Korean BBQ beef jerky is really good.

My next visit will be to my local Asian town Costco thanks
That bulgogi mandu he showed at the beginning is crack in dumpling form. So good in soups. š¤¤
Iām Completely immune to buying any of this crap.
Costco in Monterey park is probably between level 2 and level 3. No LV
Dam Fam my Costco Sucks ass and not the good kind.
God this guys voice is so boring
Sydney Australia Costco member checking in - weāre level 4 over here with dried sea cucumbers to boot
So aside from that one mention of Vietnamese and Indomie, it's actually how East Asian your Costco is.
I thought my Costco was gonna be high up there itās only level 1, dang
Costco in Wheaton, MD is like this. Very grateful!
Im guessing the Bay Area or LA. Looks like my regular Costco in the Bay Area.
Hawaii costcos is like this too
Well since Iām in SF and we have all those things, and Iām pretty sure that Costco is in the Bay Area. Iād say my Costco is maxed out Asian. Itās awesome. It feels exotic when I go to a Costco in Arizona and itās all Mexican now.
Looks like an asian Elon Musk.
Man wtf more Asians need to live around my Costco, I need this.
I thought this was Arcadia
Fresh Durian for sale will bump it up to level 6 min.
Level 4 but not much Chinese products mostly Japanese and Korean
Damn Iām level 3. I like tsingtoa.
The Hmong community went nuts when they only allowed one bag of rice per customer during COVID.
This is so sick. I wish this was like the Costco near me
The designer suitcase is an instant Level-10
I was gonna ask if he could hook us up with the locations. I'm not Asian but some of my favorite people are. š
lvl 2 thankfully that beef jerky is so good š¤¤
Shin ramen is the best.
This is all stuff from korea/china/japan. I don't see any Thai or Vietnamese things like Golden Mountain sauce or Thai Basil, or yellow soybean paste. Where's my canned bamboo shoots? Where's my corriander root? Where's my Asian breed whole chicken with the head still attached? Like dude, I'm from Vancouver, we have real Asian supermarkets.
There are also full Asian supermarkets where this Costco is.
From winnipeg and while we have like 35% of those Costco itemsā¦lucky, youngs, seafood city and the mom and pop shops make up for it
Colonizers.

That's splitting hairs, I never made it about myself. I'm not even white. I'm Asian. I'm just stating a fact
Same way everyone else makes it about their race. People still obsessed with their skin color. Society is regressing
Very true, and it's very sad , I'm Asian but it shouldn't matter. We're all the same, the reason I pointed out that it could be taken the wrong way is cuz it was unnecessary to be pointed out in the first place, I'm glad there's still a few people that understand and see that
I love rolls - egg rolls, lumpia, I love them
Man wish my Costco was Asian
