Costco’s sushi is one of the warehouse’s most polarizing prepared foods, with strong opinions from members about the flavor, quality, and value. But if you thought the sushi department couldn’t get more controversial, think again.
The warehouse chain is now selling sushi burritos, and people are already trying to figure out whether this is a genius grab-and-go option or just a little too much.
The Sushi Burrito with Crab and Salmon Poke is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a large, wrap-style roll filled with snow crab, sriracha salmon poke, avocado, and cucumber, all bundled into something you can hold like a burrito. It also comes with inari sushi on the side and a container of Japanese-style BBQ sauce for dipping. The whole thing is sold for $16.99 per pound, which adds up to about $22 for each package.
A member who tried the kit seemed genuinely surprised by how well it worked. He noted on Instagram that the nori held up better than expected, especially considering the burrito is served cold. Instead of turning tough or chewy, it “breaks off cleanly,” which is usually the biggest concern with pre-made sushi.
According to the review, the crab tasted legit, the cucumber kept its crunch, and the rice stayed fluffy instead of dense. The avocado played more of a supporting role, adding some creaminess to round things out. Once dipped in the sauce, everything came together and tasted better than your average convenience store sushi.
The only component that didn’t fully land was the inari. The member noted that the fried tofu pockets were a little rice-heavy, making them less balanced than the burrito. Still, his overall rating landed at an 8.2 out of 10, with the burrito doing most of the heavy lifting.
Over on Reddit, reactions are a mix of curiosity and cautious optimism. In one thread, users immediately clocked the value, with some pointing out that Costco portions tend to make something like this worth trying at least once. Others were more focused on the format, questioning whether sushi should be eaten in burrito form at all.
That said, plenty of people seem ready to try it anyway. A few commenters mentioned that it looks like an easy lunch option, especially if you’re already a fan of poke bowls or larger sushi rolls. Others were just impressed that Costco is continuing to push into more prepared, ready-to-eat items that meet customer demand.
And based on early reactions, it’s doing a pretty solid job.
