Costco's New Sushi Counter: Here's What We Know

Costco, the popular warehouse club retailer, is now offering fresh sushi in some of its stores. The move comes as the company looks to expand its food offerings and appeal to a wider range of customers.


Previously, Costco has only offered pre-made sushi in its stores. A recent Reddit post, however, broke the news showing a photo of a new sushi counter under construction at Costco's flagship warehouse in Issaquah, Washington. The company often pilots new offerings at this location before expanding to additional stores nationwide.



Inevitably, Costco members nationwide are asking "is Costco sushi good?" and "which Costco locations will have sushi?"


Costco has not yet commented publicly on the new sushi counter, or if they plan to bring the sushi counter to additional stores nationwide, but the company has a history of testing new products and services at its flagship warehouse before rolling them out to other stores. If the sushi counter is successful in Issaquah, it is likely that Costco will expand the offering to other stores in the future.


The news has been met with mixed reactions from Costco shoppers. Some are excited about the prospect of fresh sushi, while others are skeptical about the quality of the food. Costco has a reputation for offering high-quality products at low prices, but its pre-made sushi has not always received rave reviews.

Only time will tell if Costco's fresh sushi will be a hit with customers. However, the move is a sign that the company is committed to expanding its food offerings and meeting the needs of its growing customer base.


When the new sushi counter opened on June 9th, 2023, the venue was incredibly busy with a long line of customers waiting to try the new offering. Early reviews from Issaquah customers are positive, with Costco members nationwide anxiously awaiting the potential expansion to bring fresh sushi to their local Costco location.

  • The counter will be located in the food court area of the warehouse

  • It will be staffed by trained sushi chefs

  • The sushi will be made fresh to order

  • The menu will include a variety of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi
