I had some requests to head over to Costco to try the sushi. It’s my pleasure to honor such requests, so I made my way over to the location in Wichita, KS at 9700 E. Kellogg Dr.
After browsing around the aisles, I could not find sushi anywhere. Even asking around, an employee told me the sushi was being tested at certain locations and Wichita was not one of them. But instead of sushi, poke was offered.
There were two types offered:
- Fresh ahi wasabi poke at $21.99 per lb
- Fresh ahi spicy poke at $20.99 per lb
I decided to pick up one of each, which came in at roughly $23 and $20 respectively.
This was straight up poke with no fillers like a bed of rice.
I have to hand it to Costco. Compared to other places like Target, Dillons and other grocery options, Costco was probably the best of the bunch. It was nice huge chunks of tuna, with some roe, sesame seeds, cilantro, green onion and a light coating of what tasted like sesame sauce mixed with wasabi.
Some parts of the poke had the connective tissue still intact which made it a bit tough, but that was few and far between.
The ahi spicy poke at Costco was basically the same thing but with a chili sauce.
All in all, we were quite impressed with what we got considering it was from a big box retailer. Costco certainly set the bar when it comes to grocery store poke. I’m intrigued to see what the sushi is like if it arrives in Wichita.
Happy Dining,
Eddy
