Korea Food Court Menu

Costco Korea might have the single best food court in the entire Costco universe, and it's not even close. Korean food culture demands that even a warehouse food court actually be good — so you get a pork bake with caramelized bulgogi filling, genuine tteokbokki in fiery gochujang sauce, double-fried chicken bites, and abalone porridge for under four dollars. The menu reads like a greatest hits of Korean street food and comfort food, except everything costs almost nothing.

Locations: 20 warehouses across South Korea (Seoul, Busan, Daegu, etc.)

Korea-Exclusive Items

Item	Price (₩)	Price (~USD)	Description
Pork Bake	₩4,490	~$3.40	Marinated bulgogi-style pork with scallions stuffed into cheese-crusted bread. This replaced the original beef bulgogi bake (which Japan still has). The pork version is sweeter and more savory, with a caramelized edge to the filling that makes it dangerously snackable. The cheese crust bakes into a crunchy shell. An absolute unit of a food court item.
Bulgogi Pizza	₩2,500/slice	~$1.90	Topped with bulgogi beef, peppers, onion, olives, and mushrooms. Replaces pepperoni as a permanent flavor. The bulgogi beef has that sweet-soy glaze that melts into the cheese layer — it works way better than it has any right to.
Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes)	₩3,500	~$2.53	This is the one. Genuine Korean street food right in the Costco food court — chewy rice cakes and sliced fish cake swimming in a fiery, slightly sweet gochujang sauce. The portion is generous, the heat is real, and the texture of those rice cakes is addictive. If you've never had tteokbokki, this is a solid introduction. If you have, you already know why you're ordering it.
Korean Fried Chicken Bites	₩6,990	~$5.30	Crispy, double-fried chicken pieces — available in yangnyeom (sweet-spicy glaze) or plain fried. The double-fry technique gives these an audible crunch. Korea takes its fried chicken seriously, and even the Costco food court version does not mess around.
Eomuk-tang (Fish Cake Soup)	₩3,500	~$2.53	Traditional Korean fish cake soup — light, anchovy-based broth with skewered fish cakes. Comforting, clean-tasting, and perfect on a cold day.
Jeonbokjuk (Abalone Rice Porridge)	₩4,990	~$3.80	Rich, silky abalone porridge. A premium item at a not-premium price. The abalone flavor is gentle but unmistakable.
Sweet Pumpkin Soup	₩3,990	~$3.00	Creamy Korean-style pumpkin soup — naturally sweet, velvety
Hamburg Steak with Fried Rice	₩6,990	~$5.30	Japanese-Korean style hamburg steak over fried rice
Cream Pasta	₩6,990	~$5.30	Creamy pasta with seasonal toppings
Bubble Tea	₩2,490	~$1.90	Various flavors — brown sugar milk tea is the crowd favorite
Gelato	₩2,490	~$1.90	Rotates seasonally — recent hits include black sesame and strawberry cheesecake

Bulgogi Bake vs. Pork Bake — The Evolution

Japan still serves the original beef bulgogi bake. Korea, characteristically, leveled up. The Korean Pork Bake replaced the beef version and leans into a sweeter, more intensely seasoned profile. The cheese crust is thicker, the scallion notes are sharper, and the pork filling has a stickier, more caramelized quality. Both are great. Korea's version is bolder.

Seasonal Specials

Korea rotates seasonal items with enthusiasm:

• Winter: Fish cake soup (eomuk-tang), hoddeok-inspired pastries, abalone porridge gets extra love
• Summer: Bingsu (Korean shaved ice) — the real deal, with red bean, condensed milk, and seasonal fruit toppings. Also cold noodle options (naengmyeon-style).
• Spring/Fall: Sweet pumpkin soup, seasonal gelato flavors
• Year-round: Seasonal pizza toppings unique to Korea, rotating gelato

Worth Knowing

• The tteokbokki alone makes Costco Korea's food court legendary among international Costco fans. It's real street food at a warehouse price.
• Korea's food court prices are remarkably low even by Korean standards. The hot dog combo at ₩2,000 (~$1.44) is one of the cheapest hot meals you'll find in Seoul.
• Weekend lines at locations like Yangjae (Seoul) or Ilsan can be intense. Weekday lunches are the move.
