Are you looking for restaurant-quality frozen egg rolls to enjoy conveniently at home? The Minh Egg Rolls have been in Costco on and off for many few years. This was one of the first reviews I wrote for Costcuisine so I decided it was time for an update. Has anything changed with these egg rolls since I first reviewed them in 2018?
I absolutely love egg rolls. I find something so satisfying about the crispy wrapper and savory filling. The Minh Egg Rolls from Costco have been around for quite a while, my parents used to buy them when I was a teenager and I’d often have them as an after-school snack.
Similar products from Costco I enjoy are the Summ! Crispy Vegetable Spring Rolls, Bibigo Beef Bulgogi Mandu, Bibigo Steamed Dumplings, Bibigo Chicken and Cilantro Wontons, Costco Synear Soup Dumplings and the Summ! Crispy Mini Chicken Spring Rolls!
Location in Store
The egg rolls are located in the freezer section at Costco, near the other frozen appetizers and the item number is 1210029.
Taste
In terms of flavor, the egg rolls have a well-seasoned delicious filling of pork, celery, cabbage, onion, rice and carrots. There are definite noticeable hints of garlic and soy sauce.
The outside egg wrapping is very tasty and becomes crispy and golden brown after baking! I love that these taste just like the deep fried version you get in a restaurant.
My only complaint is that there isn’t any dipping sauce in the box so I had to go run out and buy some plum sauce. These aren’t nearly as good without dipping sauce.
Cost
The box comes with 16 egg rolls total with two bags of eight egg rolls and costs $13.99 Canadian which I think is pretty reasonable after tasting these. The price hasn’t gone up from a few years ago but there are less egg rolls in the box. There used to be 20 egg rolls per box, now there are 16.
Five small spring rolls from a local restaurant near our house costs $6.99 so it’s much cheaper to buy the Minh Egg Rolls from Costco to make at home.
Convenience
These are perfect to serve at a party, as an appetizer, to go with stir fry or to just eat for lunch or a snack. As I said, I suggest serving the egg rolls with plum sauce or some sort of chili sauce but there isn’t any sauce in the box.
The egg rolls used to be individually packaged but now they’re packed with eight egg rolls in a plastic bag and two bags in the box. There are convenient oven, air fryer and microwave cooking instructions on the box. We always cook ours in the oven. The egg rolls need to be kept in the freezer and cooked from frozen.
Nutrition
Calories
One egg roll is 190 calories, nine grams of fat, 20 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, two grams of sugar, six grams of protein and 400 milligrams of sodium.
The egg rolls aren’t super small so I feel like 190 calories and nine grams of fat isn’t terrible. I feel satisfied after just one.
Ingredients
The ingredients list looks pretty typical for a frozen, grocery store-bought egg roll. The Costco Minh Egg Rolls are fried in vegetable oil and contain wheat, barley soy, eggs and of course pork.

Must buy!
These are my favorite egg roll or spring roll that Costco carries and I’m always disappointed when they disappear from the freezer aisle. If you see them, I recommend trying them!

I have always thought these eggs rolls to be delicious however this past week I picked up a box at Costco and I can’t believe how they have changed. The inside of the eggroll does not resemble the picture on the box, they were a brownish colour with a pinkish colour of I don’t know what inside. The taste was awful not at all flavourful actually not edible. Either I got a bad batch or they have changed the recipe. It’s not worth it to buy again, very, very disappointed.
I’ve been eating these for a while. I do them in the air fryer; however, if I’m in a rush, 1.5 minutes in the micro is fine by me.
We had them at friends cottage as an appetizer with spicy plum sauce. She cut them in half and the plate was gone pretty quickly.
I now buy them at Peterborough Costco (Ontario) great snack on the dock!
bonjour j’ai acheté les pâtés impériaux Minh je ne sais pas ce que vous leurs trouvés moi ceux que j’ai acheté ils ne sont pas mangeables car l’intérieur de la pâte n’ai même pas cuit alors au poubelle c’est dur pas bon
These used to be great, they disappeared for a while and came back all gross. Do not buy
From what I understand these egg rolls are what Jack In The Box sells. I have tried over a dozen different brands and they all are garbage. These egg rolls are the bomb and amazingly delectable, I like to use Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce or glaze with them. Stores don’t sell Minh brand so I was surprised to see Costco has them. I don’t have a membership anymore but that can be rectified. I usually go to Costco to get their Trident fish sticks, they are square cut sticks and hearty on the meat/Panko breading balance. They must be fried in oil via a Pan or deep fryer I will have to check to see if my local store carries the egg rolls because at first they didn’t have the fish sticks.
Based on your review for these egg rolls, I’ll be buying them next time 😁.
Awesome! Please let me know if you like enjoy them too after you try!
I love these. Best I ever had. Unfortunately the St. Albert, Alberta Costco only had them once. I wish they sold them all the time.
Regular stock item at 149th street Edmonton! I stock them myself.
We’ve LOVED these egg rolls and were buying them at Costco for years. Both the Langley and the Port Coquitlam store sold them but for the last year I haven’t been able to get them. Is there any store in the Vancouver area that sells them?
We love them too! Sometimes they come back around Christmas so hopefully that’s the case.
Yes we loved them!
Can they be cooked on the BBQ instead of the oven?.

Ohhh that’s risky! I’m not too sure. You can try to BBQ them and let me know how it goes!
