The food court at the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station Costco is being renovated, so it's closed. People are getting off that escalator in a state of shock!

I went there on Friday and I was one of those people. Wink

I think it will remain closed until the end of April.

What they really need is more tables. I like the food and prices, but don't want to eat standing up.

Oh yeah. Remove the onion machines. That's just embarrassing.

Their pizza is abysmal and their hot dogs are worse. If you're already in Costco, why not buy some Johnsonville Brats and make a good hot dog? As for the pizza, there are much better places around.

Every time I go to Costco I eat there. And every time I eat there I think, "this stuff is shit."

I guess that's less of comment on Costco's food court and more of a comment on my inability to keep up with the average lab rat...

Haha, I had the exact same experience on Friday. My friend and I were pumped for some cheap-ass cafeteria food before the monthly Costco run and were aghast when the whole place was boarded up.

I hate standing there with my hot dog patiently waiting for an ajuma to put about 2 kilos of diced onions on a plate.

I never understood that. I see people take such huge amounts of onions from that thing and I wonder how they are eating it? Like a side-dish? Spoonfuls of raw Onion, really?

You can take the peasant out of Korea but you can't take the Korea out of the peasant.

I too was there on Friday and when I first saw the closed off area I thought my internal cosco navigating system was off until I made a round and ended up in the same place and read the renovation sign. When I realized my objective of getting pizza was foiled, I audibly gasped in shock. I sincerely hope they finish soon.

They remodeled the Daegu Costco food court about a month ago. I think they made the kitchen area bigger but took away about 1/4 of the seating Surprised

On the plus side, they now have berry smoothies.
