Costco already sells some sushi in its U.S. stores, but nothing like what is offered in Japan. Instead, the premade selection appears to be on par with typical supermarket offerings (which, frankly, aren’t exactly in the same league as the freshly made variety). Never mind the sheer number of choices populating the sushi displays of Costcos around Japan. On Reddit, a commenter shared their haul from an Illinois location — a $15 tray comprising six pieces of salmon nigiri and two salmon-packed rolls — noting that it was “just OK.”
But, while the low price of just $25 for an enormous sushi tray does seem a little too good to be true stateside, there is the possibility of a real live sushi counter coming to a Costco near you in the foreseeable future. Freshly prepared sushi is already available at a warehouse club in Hawaii, and a sushi counter opened over the summer in Costco’s Issaquah location, which is in Washington state. More counters are planned, so who knows, sushi could be coming to your local Costco sooner than you think.
