When my daughter went to Honolulu Community College, she said when she was broke, she would spend her lunch break at the same Costco you are at walking around several times eating samples for lunch. If she had $ then she could get the hotdog.
i miss the huge calamari containers they used to have. used to have my friends bring a suitcase of them back to the mainland everytime they went home to visit. there is a lot of stuff at hawaii costcos that are not available on the mainland
Hey, Chef Charles! Very entertaining video. You are really branching out. A few weeks ago, you were interviewing people. Now, you're cooking. What's next?
Love this video, great idea to do a Costco food segment. I always wonder how the different pre-marinated goods are. Which one is your favorite? I like the hamburger steak one.
I think I go to Costco too early so I never see the sample people haha. Cool that it was your first job! I just made the chicken apple sausage for my bbq this weekend, mainly because it was on sale last month haha. Taking poke bowls to new levels with sushi instead of plain rice! Wow you had a Costco buffet when you got home!
I always buy the Bulgogi from Costco; one of favorites! I recommend you add more round onions, eggplant, green bell peppers, and green onions to the Bulgogi. It tastes much better, plus you get more bang for your buck! ;)
Costco in Fountain Valley California sells spicy poke and shoyu poke. Sushi was ok. Nothing special. The poke on Kauai was fresh and delish. Thank you for sharing
We have poke and bulgogi here is SoCal. It definitely hits the spot when you want a quick meal at home. Love the Costco video. Please do more in the future.
I'm from Vancouver, Canada and we only have the stuffed salmon. No poke, sushi or Korean BBQ beef.:( We have a large Asian population here so all those items would be huge sellers. Hawaii has the best Costco!
You're lucky that your Costco sell rib cap since I've not seen our Costco in CA in our area selling it. Would love to try it maybe when we're vacationing in Hawaii and again don't want to cook while vacationing.
I like to eat supermarket sushi with some poke cuz I don’t wanna make rice and minus well eat both together cuz why not we’re also in Utah. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Disappointed that Iwilei doesn't have the basic Tokyo Bento Tuna, Futomaki,& Cone Sushi anymore. I like simple basic sushi, not drowned with sauce & crap. Never tried what you brought. Never brought Poke from iwilei Costco, i buy slab ahi make own mix, onion, Hawaiian salt, when there is limu i'd do limu simple. Many poke get too much sesame oil which kills the taste of the fish, i wanna taste fish not sesame oil or condiments.
@@stanleyho6464 per family members there's no Tokyo Bento brand at Waipio, Kapolei, or HI Kai. Waipio & Kapolei has the items shown in this video at Iwilei. Hi Kai has cone sushi but not Tokyo Bentos brand, my cuzin said she didn't care for it she preferred Tokyo Bentos cone sushi.
@@stavana4875 yeah, i loved tokyo bento's futomaki, tuna, and cone sushi too ! few years ago I was wondering what happened to it and told a worker who said they no longer carry it... just like keoki's chicken lau-lau no longer carried, just their pork lau-lau for a few years...
@@stavana4875 Thanks for the info! I was in Hawaii a few years ago and got futomaki and cone sushi at the Waipio Costco - and they were so good and at good prices! Too bad they don't carry them anymore!!
Charles, I am interested to see what we can't find in mainland and your test on those things. I heard they sell lau lau, poturgese sausage and so on. Is that true?
What are your favorite foods to get at your local Costco?
Love your videos! thanks for sharing.

Steak looks really good
Great video

Never go to Costco hungry 🤣🤣
Agreed and never grocery shop when hungry cause the cart get full fast 😂
Yep... VERY Dangerous!-lol

That ginger juice is ono.

So much good food! Hopefully none of it went to waste.
Sushi Row? I love a Pidgin accent!😀

always fun to visit a costco when traveling. ya, we have sushi and poke, but not the same and much more limited. thanks for sharing.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing with us

That’s my Costco and a whole pizza is my favorite.

We have spicy ahi poke and the soy sauce poke at our Costco in South San Francisco .
I have never seen poke sold anywhere beside hawaii. How do you compare the poke in costco and foodland. I feel like foodland poke taste better.
Here in Vegas, Smart and Final has a poke kit (includes the rice ) for $11

Medium length hair Charles is the best Charles. Don’t let anyone convince you to cut it short!
Yeah, agreed. The Manny Pacquiao look suites him.
Never bought sushi or Poke from Costco. But that Rib cap sounds really good.
I'm from Vancouver, Canada and we only have the stuffed salmon. No poke, sushi or Korean BBQ beef.:( We have a large Asian population here so all those items would be huge sellers. Hawaii has the best Costco!
I've seen sushi lately in the Port Coquitlam Costco. It doesn't look very good though.
I haven't tried the stuffed salmon at Costco. We usually get the Salmon Milano With Basil Pesto Butter there. It's really good too! You should try it.
Electric ovens do not heat properly. That is what I noticed when I had electric oven in Hawaii. The humidity plays a role too I think.
I love that Costco. I’ve tried that sushi. It’s actually pretty good. We don’t have sushi in Tacoma Washington. Happy exploring.
Im from California we have most of the items you purchased although poke is seasonal here.
Garlic shrimp poke is only available in the Hawaii Costco and I dream about it. We have something similar on the mainland but it’s not the same.
You're lucky that your Costco sell rib cap since I've not seen our Costco in CA in our area selling it. Would love to try it maybe when we're vacationing in Hawaii and again don't want to cook while vacationing.
Use to always see it prior to the pandemic in Orange County, but see it sparsely here and there now
Haven't seen like at the Palm Desert Costco. Not sure about sushi. I know the Sam's Club has sushi but it's not very good. The rice is too hard.
I like to eat supermarket sushi with some poke cuz I don’t wanna make rice and minus well eat both together cuz why not we’re also in Utah. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾🤙🏾
That's a lot of food you cooked! 🤙
I think the Safeway sushi is better than snow fox. The costco bulgogi is bomb!
2:52 That's what she said
Costco in Chicago sells poke and gas station style sushi platter (yuck).
Disappointed that Iwilei doesn't have the basic Tokyo Bento Tuna, Futomaki,& Cone Sushi anymore. I like simple basic sushi, not drowned with sauce & crap. Never tried what you brought.

Do any of the other Costco warehouses have Futomaki and Cone Sushi??

Yummy a lot of foods ,sa Taiwan pagi kami noon

What Costco R U @ On Oahu ?
The visual and verbal cues... have you separated or gotten a divorce? You don't have to answer this if you dont feel comfortable answering.
I don’t see a ring on him,

🥰🌺🤙💕
Charles, I am interested to see what we can't find in mainland and your test on those things. I heard they sell lau lau, poturgese sausage and so on. Is that true?
Yes Costco in Hawaii sell those items you mentioned and more like Kim chee, lomi salmon, poke and ahi and salmon sashimi
costco doesn't buy local fish. They fly in their fish so not as fresh & no support for local fisherman
What COSTCO IS THAT??? No mo people.
he mentioned it and it is in the description...
Not a fan of the sushi from Costco. Cold, crunchy rice is a big no no.
Maui Costco “SUCKS” Charles all the food you Got Maui Costco Don’t Have IT ‼️‼️👎🏽
