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 (and your stomach space). Lines get long on weekends, especially at the bubble tea station. Pace yourself.

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

Taiwan-Exclusive Items

Item	Price (NT$)	Price (~USD)	Description
Bubble Tea	NT$79	~$2.50	The undisputed star. Classic pearl milk tea with fat, chewy tapioca pearls — available in original, taro, matcha, and brown sugar flavors depending on the season. The line for this alone can stretch past the pizza counter. Worth it.
Crispy Chicken Bucket	NT$299	~$9.50	Skin-on, thick-battered Taiwanese fried chicken — the kind that makes you understand why Taiwan has more fried chicken shops per capita than anywhere on earth. Bucket serves 2-3 people (or one very determined person). Seasoned with white pepper and five-spice, crispy down to the last crumb.
Beef Noodle Soup	NT$159	~$5.05	Taiwan's national dish, right here in a warehouse. Slow-braised beef shank in a rich, aromatic broth with hand-pulled-style thick noodles and pickled mustard greens on the side. Genuinely good — you'll see office workers eating this for lunch on weekdays.
Clam Chowder	NT$99	~$3.15	Surprisingly popular in Taiwan — creamy, loaded with clams, served in a bread bowl on good days. 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

A word about the bubble tea station: this is not an afterthought. Taiwan invented bubble tea, and Costco Taiwan treats it accordingly. The tapioca pearls are made fresh, the tea is brewed properly, and the line moves fast but never disappears. Multiple flavors are available — classic milk tea, taro, matcha, and seasonal rotations like brown sugar and passion fruit. At NT$79 (~$2.50) for a large cup, it undercuts most boba shops while matching quality. If you only try one thing at the Taiwan food court, this is it.

Notes

• Taiwan uses pork hot dogs (not beef) — same as Japan and China
• The seafood bake replaces the chicken bake
• Bubble tea is the single most popular food court item — the line is its own event
• The crispy chicken bucket outsells pizza at most Taiwan locations, which tells you everything about this island's fried chicken devotion
• Food court seating fills up fast on weekends — some regulars eat standing up and don't even mind
• Most Taiwan locations have the food court inside the warehouse, past checkout
• Prices are exceptionally low even by Taiwanese standards — the food court is one of the best value propositions in a country already known for cheap, excellent food
