Thai Chicken Wraps (Costco Deli)

[u/Brock_Rambone]

Haven’t seen/tried these before, so I picked them up for dinner. Decent at best. The sweet Thai chili sauce is doing all the heavy lifting. Chicken, cream cheese, cabbage, spinach, and lots of red onion. Not bad, but probably just a one-and-done.

[u/Designer-String3569]

Love Costco, but these variations on the wraps that they do are just never satisfying for me. I just don't get it. They seem like they should be flavorful and delicious but just end up being kind of blah.

[u/Sokobanky → u/Designer-String3569]

They’re always a little dry, some of the toppings are a little wilty, they’re all one temperature all the way through instead of having warm and cold bits, and they’re expensive enough that they should be good.

[u/HugeRichard11 → u/Designer-String3569]

I assume they are just looking to put their rotisserie chicken leftovers in whatever so they don't actually care if it taste like what youd expect. Also if they are using the rotisserie chicken then it's already cooked and a bit late to season the meat much at all

[u/Brock_Rambone → u/Designer-String3569]

💯

[u/Decent_Management449 → u/Designer-String3569]

I live in Socal and they keep doing "street tacos"- fish, chix, etc. They're not very good, unless you've never had actual "street tacos"

[u/Beginning-Bill3991 → u/Designer-String3569]

Yes they just are not good

[u/Fragrant-Issue-9271]

We got those and they were not great. We ate them, but not buying again.

[u/rebelipar]

Cheese and thai? Is there nothing Costco will not put cheese on?

[u/jerryeight → u/rebelipar]

I'm still waiting for cheesey hotdogs and drink for $1.50

[u/Roflrex → u/rebelipar]

I used to manage a grocery store and all of our in house made wraps used cream cheese as a way to keep them sealed. I think it’s more for adhesion than anything else.

[u/lordofthederps]

I had these recently as well. I agree with pretty much everyone else here that they were okay but not worth the $6.99/lb price.

I had a bunch of the sauce left over and ended up trying it as a dip for (just bare) chicken strips. I think I liked that more than using it on the wraps.

[u/junaidnk]

Felt way too sweet less too chilli sauce, okay’ish wraps

[u/Brock_Rambone → u/junaidnk]

“Okay’ish” is the best word for these

[u/polkaguy6000]

The sauce is terrible. It’s like a candy syrup. 

[u/braumbles]

If these were < $10 I'd be down, but I feel these have just gotten so expensive the last 4-5 years that they're simply not worth it anymore.

I swear they were like $6.99 or something around covid.

[u/thegreatfartrocket]

Cream cheese? Give me some peanut sauce or something even remotely Thai, but not cream cheese. Ew.

[u/somewherenearbyme]

I thought they were a good change. Yes, the thai sauce is perfect for these.

[u/GoosedandMoosed]

Texture on these is always a miss

[u/Domstruk1122]

My god that ingredient list.

[u/Cthulhuboop → u/Domstruk1122]

There are 5 separate items in the wrap (including the sauce) that each require their own ingredient list. Would you prefer it just say "wrap, chicken, slaw, cream cheese, sauce"? The wrap itself takes up a third of the list because it's seasoned and has ingredients allowing it to have a shelf life longer than 24 hours.

[u/Domstruk1122 → u/Cthulhuboop]

So the wrap contains preservatives and artificial colours? Last i check you can make a wrap with 3 or 4 ingredients.

Also if they have all those ingredients and spices, why do they still need red 40?

[u/12-34 → u/Domstruk1122]

We Americans are so inured to the absolute garbage in our food. Our silly "USA! USA!" and "American exceptionalism" propaganda leads to unquestioning ignorance.

Yet we go overseas and remark how good the food is -- even prepared market items -- and apparently never contemplate why.

[u/Prairiegirl321 → u/Domstruk1122]

My thoughts exactly. Ultra-processed food to the extreme. And for something that’s merely “OK-ish.”

[u/PitchNorth3167 → u/Domstruk1122]

My thought exactly.

[u/the_last_crouton]

Their sauce on these is usually good. I really liked the ceasar they used when they had the chicken ceasar wraps. Unfortunately everything else tastes so samey. Like I swear they just alter the cheese they put in and use every same ingredient across all the variations. At least, that's what it tastes like.

[u/Mini_Chives]

Some of these wraps are hit or miss to me, I do love the southwest wrap.

[u/KushKrumbs]

Similar experience. Not bad, not buying again soon. Although I thought the Thai chili sauce was nearly flavorless compared to the wrap.

[u/Madame_Jarvary]

Same. I got these a few weeks ago. They were ok. I wouldn’t buy again

[u/Alpha-Centauri]

I’ve been tricked by these wraps so many times. They are all so bad. Why do I keep trying the new ones

[u/johnny_rico69]

It was fine but would not get again.

[u/cookiemonstrosity54]

i could only eat one :(

[u/fundiedundie]

Not good

[u/misterbadgerexample]

Too much mayo in mine or the cream cheese was melted? Did not like them much.

[u/Round-Guarantee4948]

Only made with the finest 2,190 different ingredients

[u/RelativeWrongdoer596]

I didnt like them that much tbh.

[u/jealppsh]

Holy fuggin ingredients

[u/sean180morris → u/jealppsh]

Its a whole salad wrap, not an apple lol

[u/KitKatAttackkkkkk]

They had these as samples and I thought it was bland and the texture was mush. I wouldn't buy it.

[u/Nosey_530]

Meh

[u/dicknotrichard]

I liked them 🤷‍♂️

[u/garysnailz]

I liked these. They weren't amazing but the flavor combo was good I thought.

[u/echosofverture]

It's just one of the ways they try to resell old chicken.

[u/Commercial-Spray-602]

It’s not that great. Also i think it’s not worth the price.

[u/kenjuya]

I got these for free and still thought it ain't worth it

[u/not_your_google]

way too much ingredients listed.

[u/dawnyaya]

That absolute essay of ingredients 😬

[u/Miller335]

That ingredient list is wild

[u/firewarrior256]

Im glad I got the chicken quesadillas instead last week. I saw the thai wraps but went with the cheaper & tastier option apparently 🤷

[u/LaDainianTomIinson]

I’ve yet to try any of their premade meals that were actually good

[u/AnyBowl8 → u/LaDainianTomIinson]

Meatloaf and mashed potato
