Lu Rou Fan (Braised Pork Rice)

Taiwan's #1 comfort food — braised pork belly with five-spice and fried shallots over steamed rice. Costco Taiwan sells this as a ready-to-heat meal. Low and slow braising turns cheap pork belly into something transcendent.

Three-Cup Chicken (San Bei Ji)

The holy trinity of Taiwanese braising — equal parts soy sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil — turns humble chicken thighs into the most fragrant, glossy, soul-warming dish you'll ever eat. Costco Taiwan nails this as a prepared meal, and now you can too.

What's In Store

Taiwan Food Court Menu

Costco Taiwan has a vibrant food court with strong local flavors. Taiwan's night market culture means the bar is absurdly high — every side street has a stall serving something transcendent for $1.50 — and yet the food court delivers.

Bubble tea, fried chicken buckets, beef noodle soup, and rotating seasonal items all compete for your attention. Lines get long on weekends, especially at the bubble tea station.

Locations: 14 warehouses across Taiwan (Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, etc.)

Taiwan-Exclusive Items

Item Price (NT$) Price (~USD) Description
Bubble Tea NT$79 ~$2.50 Classic pearl milk tea with chewy tapioca pearls — original, taro, matcha, or brown sugar. The line stretches past the pizza counter.
Crispy Chicken Bucket NT$299 ~$9.50 Thick-battered Taiwanese fried chicken with white pepper and five-spice. Serves 2-3. Crispy down to the last crumb.
Beef Noodle Soup NT$159 ~$5.05 Taiwan's national dish — slow-braised beef shank in aromatic broth with thick noodles and pickled mustard greens.
Clam Chowder NT$99 ~$3.15 Creamy, loaded with clams, sometimes in a bread bowl. A comfort food crossover hit.
Seafood Bake NT$125 ~$3.90 Replaces the chicken bake — filled with shrimp, crab, and a creamy sauce in a golden crust
Bulgogi Bake NT$125 ~$3.90 Korean-style bake with marinated beef and cheese — also available
Tteokbokki NT$85 ~$2.70 Spicy rice cakes with boiled egg and gochujang sauce — a nod to Korea's influence on Taiwanese food culture
Matcha Green Tea Sundae with Boba NT$75 ~$2.40 Green tea soft serve with boba pearls — two Taiwanese obsessions in one cup
Yuzu Freeze NT$65 ~$2.00 Tart, fragrant citrus frozen drink — refreshing on a humid Taipei afternoon
Pineapple Ice Cream NT$55 ~$1.70 Made with Taiwanese pineapple, which is sweeter and less acidic than what you're used to
Pistachio Ice Cream NT$55 ~$1.70 Premium soft serve flavor — a quieter hit
Iced Pearl Tea Latte NT$65 ~$2.00 Cold boba latte — essentially bubble tea's sophisticated cousin
Roasted Chicken Leg NT$99 ~$3.10 Whole roasted chicken leg quarter — juicy, well-seasoned, and absurdly cheap

Shared Items (with local pricing)

Item Price (NT$) Notes
Pork Hot Dog Combo NT$50 Pork-based, not beef — same in Japan and China
Pizza Slice NT$65 Cheese, pepperoni, combo — plus rotating seasonal flavors (past specials include seafood, teriyaki chicken, and Taiwanese sausage)
Churro NT$55 Cinnamon sugar
Berry Sundae NT$55 Vanilla soft serve with berry topping
Mango Smoothie NT$85 Made with Taiwanese mango when in season

Seasonal & Rotating Items

  • Pizza flavors rotate regularly — past specials have included seafood (shrimp and squid), teriyaki chicken, and a Taiwanese sausage pizza that caused a minor sensation on PTT (Taiwan's Reddit)
  • Mango smoothie is seasonal — made with fresh Taiwanese mango in summer (June-August), and it's spectacular
  • Soft serve flavors rotate — taro, mango, and brown sugar boba have all appeared
  • Holiday specials pop up around Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival
  • Strawberry items appear in winter (Dec-March) — Taiwan's strawberry season produces fruit that's smaller, sweeter, and more aromatic

The Bubble Tea Phenomenon

This is not an afterthought. Taiwan invented bubble tea, and Costco Taiwan treats it accordingly — fresh tapioca pearls, properly brewed tea, and a line that moves fast but never disappears.

Multiple flavors: classic milk tea, taro, matcha, and seasonal rotations like brown sugar and passion fruit. At NT$79 (~$2.50), it undercuts most boba shops while matching quality. If you only try one thing at the Taiwan food court, this is it.

Notes

  • Pork hot dogs, not beef — same as Japan and China
  • Seafood bake replaces the chicken bake
  • Bubble tea is the #1 item — the line is its own event
  • Crispy chicken outsells pizza at most locations
  • Food court is inside past checkout — membership required
  • Seating fills fast on weekends — regulars eat standing up
  • Prices are low even by Taiwanese standards
