Korean Food Finds at Costco – 2025 Edition

 


These days, it’s not so surprising to see Korean food on the shelves at Costco — but it still makes me smile every time. From frozen dumplings to banana milk, here’s a roundup of popular Korean products you can find at many Costco locations in the U.S.

πŸ’‘ Note: Product availability may vary by location. Some items are seasonal, regional, or temporarily out of stock, so it’s always a good idea to check your local store.



πŸ₯Ÿ Bibigo Steamed Dumplings (Chicken & Vegetable)

Quick to prepare and packed with juicy filling. One of the most loved Korean dumplings — and it’s freezer-friendly!

🍜 Samyang Buldak Spicy Chicken Ramen

Known for its fiery heat and chewy texture. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

πŸ₯£ CJ Bibigo Seaweed Soup (Miyeok-guk)

A convenient version of traditional seaweed soup. Light but flavorful.

🧊 Pulmuone Korean Potato Corn Dogs

Crispy outside, chewy inside. Great for snacks or quick bites.

πŸ– Golden Island Korean BBQ Pork Jerky

Tender jerky with a sweet bulgogi-style marinade. No need to refrigerate.



πŸ› Ottogi 3-Minute Curry & Jjajang

Microwavable and comforting — an easy lunch when you’re too busy to cook.

🍜 Nongshim Shin Ramyun

Classic spicy Korean noodle soup. Bold, hearty broth with great chew.

🍚 Bibigo Cooked White Rice

Microwavable in 90 seconds. Great with soup, curry, or even kimchi.

πŸ§‚ Roasted Korean Seaweed (e.g. Kirkland Signature or Jayone brand)

These thin, crispy seaweed sheets are lightly salted and toasted — perfect as a snack or to wrap around rice. Costco usually carries large multi-packs from brands like Jayone or even Kirkland Signature.

πŸ₯€ Binggrae Banana Flavored Milk

Sweet and nostalgic. This wasn’t around when I was growing up, but now it’s everywhere!

🌢️ CJ Gochujang (Red Pepper Paste)

Versatile and spicy-sweet — a must-have for Korean cooking.

🍑 Melona Frozen Dessert Bars

Smooth, creamy, and melon-flavored. A hit with kids and adults alike.

🍫 Orion Choco Boy

Cute mushroom-shaped biscuits dipped in chocolate. Korean kids’ snack classic.

🌿 Anchovy Stock Tea Bags

Pre-packed soup stock made from anchovy and kelp. Great for making real Korean soups quickly.


One of my favorite things about Costco is stumbling across new Korean products I haven’t seen before — or ones I never thought I’d find outside Korea! Whether you’re stocking up for a big meal or just craving a taste of home, these items bring a little Korean flavor into everyday life.

πŸ›’ My Favorite Finds This Year

A new favorite I discovered recently was the Bibigo steamed dumplings. I wasn’t sure at first—they looked kind of plain in the freezer—but oh my goodness, they’re so good. Just five minutes in the microwave, and it tastes like I ordered takeout! My husband even asked if I got them from a restaurant.

I also always grab a few packs of Korean seaweed snacks. My kids munch on them like chips. It’s funny because when I was younger, we had to buy those at Korean grocery stores across town. Now? Costco has them right next to trail mix.

Found something new at your Costco lately? Let me know — I’m always on the hunt for the next Korean surprise! 😊
