I swung by the Costco on 4th Ave because I was seriously craving Lumpia Shanghai--the Filipino take on egg rolls stuffed with meat. Not every Costco carries them, so this spot is a gem. Fun fact: this is actually the very first Costco warehouse in the world, the one where it all began. Parking was packed and the store was buzzing. The line looked intimidating but moved pretty quickly. Mental note: avoid weekends here if possible. Still, I walked out happy with two packs of those egg rolls in hand.

Hey, it's Costco -- that alone earns it 4 stars from me. As our pastor once joked, Costco is basically God's gift to shoppers. The reasonable prices, the gas, the convenience, and of course the legendary $1.50 hot dog and the $4.99 rotisserie chicken are always the big draws. I'd bump it up to 4.5 stars if I could, but definitely not a full 5 because the parking lot layout can be a mess, especially during busy times. I still remember coming here before the renovation, when the inside looked more like a Pier 1 Imports. Since this is the original Costco -- ground zero for all the others -- it's still fun to visit from a historical standpoint. We don't come here often since we're on the Eastside and usually go to the Issaquah or Redmond locations, but if we're in south Seattle, it's worth the stop.

He cannot wait!

I completely love Costco on multiple levels and have for literally decades. Costco is great as a consumer. It has also been amazing as a shareholder. I tend to invest in companies that I have direct experience with and Costco has paid off in more ways than one for sure. I also value a company that promotes from within. The new CEO literally started at Costco as a teenager driving a forklift. Talk about walking the walk! As a car enthusiast - great prices on Top Tier gas is a real bonus. Top Tier gasoline is gas that has met the standards for detergent additives that have been proven to keep your engine cleaner. An excellent pharmacy, some fun discoveries like top shelf booze and of course the famous $1.50 hot dog and soda + $4.99 rotisserie chicken and wine buyers that we trust completely to make good choices. Every once in a while you'll find something completely unexpected that just offers pure delight. This week while on the way to grabbing some tp I spotted some Food Court themed dog toys. Picked up a set and our little pup was super happy. :D I also love the new Executive member hours. It's nice to be able to get in and get out in a reasonable amount of time. When you consider that one of the things you simply cannot buy is time - spending a bit more for the Executive membership saves me hours every year. I consider the time I have remaining on this planet as being extremely valuable and limited. That makes the upgrade decision a no brainer. I'm such a Costco fanboy that we even visited a Costco in Tokyo. That was super cool. Obviously some local fare / items that you'd never see here. Superior sushi and fish options, veggies like daikon radishes and we found a really fun little capybara stuffed animal that is our new travel buddy if we can't bring our little pooch along for the trip.

This is a whole rotisserie chicken at Costco hot out of the oven.

Costco is a big box store with a typical where house layout. It's good to know the best times to go when you just want to see Costco. They have a staff that is good and responsive. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to find staff, but they remain helpful. Their rotisserie chicken is said to be legendary and the chicken is at a good price. Often you can get the chicken as it is coming out of the roaster. Eager to taste, I quickly grabbed one and rushed home to have dinner. So here are some unspoken rules of roasting, baking, and grilling chicken: NO PINK MEAT. This means the chicken is not fully cooked. Also, if you are cooking a chicken in a Rotisserie, the skin should be crispy or near crispy and not slippery as it is in a stew Or soup. Lastly. Seasoning. The entire chicken was devoid of seasoning resulting in a bland, begging for flavor chicken with slippery skin. I decided to add salt, pepper and other seasonings to make a hot chicken sandwich. Costco can benefit from having a plane and seasoned chicken. The slippery skin and pink flesh is a deal breaker and should remain in the oven for another 20-30 minutes; this would also allow the skin to get crispy. For me, this chicken is a deal breaker, but I have been a member for over 20 years.

Always been and always will be a huge fan of shopping at Costco! This location has delicious strawberry ice cream in their food court! Love that they also have a gas station to fill up. Parking usually isn't too hard to find and they also have a tire center here which is handy for car things. This Costco has all the essentials and a nice variety of local items. We were also shopping and saw this Costco monopoly set! How cool! This location always seems to be low on boxes but I see some folks bringing their own bags and wagons.

Very great Costco! I came to get some gas and lines weren't too bad. They also have a car wash section by the gas side; it gets busy real fast. Of course, I had to go in and take a look. The store is huge, and they have a big selection of clothes. I got some food samples, too. There are a lot of self-checkout, too.

Filthy dirty brand new $1200 tires.
Nacy M.

The customer service is absolutely terrible. New Tires came out dirty and looked used. There is no value to the service I will never return.

Vegetables, fruit, meats, condiments , canned goods, utensils - pretty much everything food related. A serious foodie friend tuned me on to this place when it was called something else.

You might have to dodge a few sketchy looking folks in the neighborhood but once you're there - all good in da hood. :) They have little cans of clams but why mess around?

We are part of a volunteer organization that prepares dinner for youth at a shelter. We are on a budget and all of us work full-time so we need to keep the menus simple and cheap. Enter Chef Store. The store is easy to navigate, clean and aisles are wide to accommodate carts as needed. There aren't a ton of choices but many of the items they carry are great deals, without the madness that comes with shopping a larger warehouse store. Another wonderful thing about this store is the service. The service is fast, efficient and always friendly. There is particular dude who might be the manager (beard, hilarious, kind) who usually makes us laugh with some random comment while quickly facilitating our order.

Winco is my go-to grocery store even though it's a bit further than Freddy's and a lot further than…read moreSafeway ($), QFC ($) and TJs. It's employee-owned. There aren't a lot of staff on the floor (like EVERY grocery store) but they are helpful and knowledgeable. Packaged, bulk and organic veggies. Not the prettiest in town but that's ok. Well-stocked, reasonably priced refrigerated salad dressing. Large bulk item section. Smallish bakery section. Reasonably priced meats (some name brands). Extensive dairy section with Darigold FIT milk. Organic eggs. The seasonal aisle is up front. That's where things go on sale. They haven't reorganized in the years I've been shopping here. Once you're familiar with the layout, zoom. Good prices every day. No loss leaders. If you're worried one of the big three has something on sale, price check with their apps. Self checkout (15 recommended limit) is now debit only. You can use Apple Pay if you have a cash card installed. Cash is now (late 2025) taken only at staffed registers. No CCs. May not be the best store for once-a-month shopping as you bag your own (unless there are two folks shopping). I have never seen a shopping cart filled with trash. Occasionally there might be a plastic veggie bag. No boxes like at Costco unless you bring your own. Don't like their bags? Bring your own. (All stores here charge for bags; it's the law.) A few plants outside. Nothing like Freddy's or even QFC. Big parking lot. Hungry? Run to Dick's! Smallish hot food section in the store. What's not to like? Brand name products, well priced every day. Worried about crowds? Come in the evening. They're open 24x7. Try it!

The produce prices can't be beat and I always find great deals here. It's always really good quality and a good deal. what you cannot miss is the bulk section in the back. It has just about everything you can think of and they always provide bags large and small so that you can buy in bulk. I have compared prices and the book prices are pretty comparable to Costco bulk pricing but the benefit of buying it here is that you can buy as much or as little as you want. It's really nice that I can come here and buy a few pounds of flour when I need it instead of buying it in 25 pounds bags for the same price. I buy my sugars and candies and other books stuff from here as well. The only thing that I get confused about is buying some powdered items that I don't know recipes for. Does anybody know how to use for example, their brownie mix? I guess you can measure it out and pretend it's a box mix and just follow any box direction? Not sure. Or even their cheese powder mix. Regardless, everything is a great deal and I know I can find great items for sale here. Oh yeah, and don't forget about the food court. Their fried chicken meal with fries is delicious. There was one time I had the best fries of my life here but after coming here a few times I realize the quality varies. It's always good, but it hasn't reached peak Since the first time I had it. Still really good value and delicious. Remember: you must use debit card or cash only. They have signs everywhere, but I still made that mistake when I first went there.

It's a reduced price, not wholesale, place for chefs, cooks and restaurant owners to pick up bulk supplies for reasonable prices. They're not going to get any lower than this especially if you order through the mail. Today I picked up a case of monster energy drinks which is 24 for $38 and now I don't have to pay the ridiculous price of 3.79 each. There are supplies even for barista stands things like cups and stirrers and coffee syrups and coffee beans and the like. A good supply of essential professional cooking cookware like inserts, whips and utensils and some really good knives. For the bar there are dozens of different Frozen appetizers that patrons love like deep fried shrimp, chicken strips, zucchini, even pickles breaded, onion rings and other things like burritos, chicken strips and the like. They have a whole walk-in dairy refrigerator it's bigger than my bedroom which is quite nice when you need a lot of supplies and don't like the crowns of the supermarkets. No you do not need to be a member or have a special sign or club membership to shop here and no there is no fee for that it's just like a regular supermarket only with a different kind of display setup. In fact there is no display setup. They just open the containers for you to see what you're getting and then you can buy brand new containers of what you like. In some instances they will break a case like cleaning supplies, pinesol and other things too. Sometimes it's fun just to come out here because you never know what you see that will surprise you. Location could be better, it's off the beaten path past 130th Street North and Stone avenue North off to the east side kind of tucked away there. By the way, I still call it cash and carry because it has a nice ring to it.

Been going to this location when it called Cash & Carry, now US Foods ChefStore for over 20 years…read more Just realized after my visit (5/5/22) that yet again never posted via Yelp. Convenient location in North Seattle, ample parking, no membership needed, and prices often lower than local grocery stores and Costco. Most people who shop here are office, food service, restaurant, cafe, and catering staff. But the general public can also score great stuff in bulk, larger quantities. Perfect for those big gatherings. I've stopped in for kitchen gear, picnic supplies, spices, condiments, baking ingredients, and dairy products. Convenience and savings without the crazy crowds.

One critique is that their bottomweight and coating section was fairly limited, but I'm assuming that they were slowly transitioning into Spring/Summer choices at that time. Everything felt high quality and intentionally selected, not at all like the big box stores. Pricing was on-par with most independent stores - not cheap, but worth it. I hear that they have sales every once in awhile so I will be on the lookout. The day I went, it was absolutely packed!
