Costco Canada Debuts Fresh Deli Ramen Kits
Costco Canada is selling fresh deli ramen kits that include chashu pork, soy-marinated eggs, shoyu broth, green onions, and noodles. Priced at $12.99 CAD per kilogram, a roughly $21 kit weighs about 1.6 kilograms and can provide around three servings. Some tasters found the broth a little shallow but said added chili crisp improved it, and there is no word on U.S. availability.
Costco’s Canadian deli sections now carry fresh ramen kits. Each package contains eight slices of braised chashu pork, six soy-marinated eggs, shoyu broth, green onions, and noodles. The chain charges $12.99 CAD per kilogram, or $1.29 CAD per 100 grams.
A roughly $21 CAD kit weighs about 1.6 kilograms—3.5 pounds—and yields around three servings. Vancouver creator sopheats showcased one. Local restaurant bowls often weigh 500 grams to over 800 grams and cost $13–$25 CAD. Early tasters liked the value but found the broth shallow; chili crisp helped. U.S. launch remains unannounced.
This launch may appeal to budget-conscious Canadian households and ramen fans seeking restaurant-style meals at home. It could pressure local ramen shops on price, though quality comparisons may limit that effect. Costco’s test in Canada could shape whether similar deli kits reach U.S. shoppers, while social media attention may amplify demand and expectations. If successful, it may encourage more grocery retailers to experiment with fresh, multi-serving international meal kits.
