Reddit Can’t Believe How Good Costco’s Lumpia Is

A deliciously simple and versatile snack, lumpia is a Filipino finger food that evolved from Chinese spring rolls. Made from a rice or flour dough stuffed with meat and vegetables, lumpia is then sealed with egg wash and fried to create a crispy, savory snack often served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce (per Taste Atlas). Costco’s lumpia is rumored to be one of the finest frozen foods on their shelves.

Some lumpia admirers on the Reddit thread started an informal fan group of the food with the hashtag #lumpiagang. But it appears that not all Costco’s are stocking this Filipino delicacy as much of the yearning discourse was guided by longing and envy. One shopper commented, “Lumpia at Costco?!?!?!?! Where is this???? God I’m so jealous” while another wrote “I want lumpia. I have to drive a couple of hours to a Filipino restaurant.” The original poster clarified their location by letting the thread know they got their lumpia at a Costco in Northern California.

While getting your hands on Costco’s lumpia might be like finding a needle in a haystack, there are plenty of recipes, like this vegetable lumpia, to cook and enjoy in the comforts of your own home.
