Costco Food Court — Restaurant in Monterey Park

The food, if you've yet to try it, is consistently good. Maybe even great, if you're into the basics of pizza, hot dogs, and churros along with Costco's usual food court goodness. They just opened this Costco and brought along new acai bowls, double cheeseburgers, and al pastor salads. So far, so good.

The problems kick in, in my opinion, with the administration of the introduction of the order kiosks inside the actual store. The devices themselves are touch screens and work just fine. It seems though, that too many orders are going in overall which seems to make the wait for all the lines an eternity. I tried using the kiosk once, and my order went in just fine, then went to the designated kiosk order pick-up window and still had to wait. Once I got to the front of the line I handed my receipt to the cashier and they went about getting my order ready. Other times I've gone I stood in a regular line since I'd rather not support full automation of labor just yet, but the wait had usually been long.

Maybe it might be that the new items take longer to put together, or new employees are still getting the hang of things, or the times I've been have been busy, but just be prepared to wait for your Costco food...

The new homeboy looking guy wearing his dodger-looking jacket at the register has awful customer service and he tried to short change me and make up bs excuses about it being my fault he already closed the register so he can't give me proper change back!!!! If this guy isn't happy he's working there, there are plenty of ppl who will be happy to work at Costco. This guy better not be trying to pocket money from people when he does to close out his register.

Members only now. Costco food is amazing. I miss the combo pizza :( I miss the Polish dog :( No more onions for the hotdogs?!?!?!!!!?!?!!!!!!!!!! That's the only thing I put on mine!!!!!!! Often limited seating. My chicken bake was suspiciously not juicy, I hope this isn't how they're made now. Too bad it's almost always packed around lunch time to closing. Ordering kiosks are located outside near the condiments, not even the food court is immune to self-checkout lol.

The workers probably think they're minor food service workers for corporate but I think their work is one of the main attractions for the...

The food is standard good as it usually is at Costco.

This is an outside food court so expect it to be miserably hot in the late spring, summer and early fall. There are flies landing on everyone (probably from the nearby nursery) while they sweat - maybe they will put up some overhead fans.

The middle lane between the rows of benches allow only one shopping cart at a time, so it is usually jammed as people try to make it a two lane affair.

The traffic patterns at this food court seem more clunky than most. People squeezing by eachother to get into the store, trying to leave the store, getting drinks, getting napkins, straws, dressing their hot dogs, trying to find a seat, squeezing by the shopping cart jams - and this is all at 11am!

Not sure what can be done, but still,...
