When it comes to shopping at Costco, sticking to your grocery list is a pretty difficult task. With the abundance of hidden gems just waiting to be found on each aisle, Costco makes it extremely hard not to veer away from your plans and experiment with something new. And since popular items such as the fan-favorite Pasta Prima Spinach & Mozzarella Ravioli and the latest loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Bread are literally flying off of their shelves, it’s no wonder Costco keeps stocking their aisles with hit after hit.

The latest item to have customers returning in droves to purchase, is not only located in the freezer section but also has been described as tasting like a real restaurant meal. Ajinomoto Yakisoba Stir Fry, which was spotted in the Costco subreddit, is a Japanese-style vegetable stir-fry featuring fried noodles, crisp vegetables and an umami aged soy sauce. The stir-fry can either be prepared on the stovetop or microwaved in just 3 minutes. Each box contains six 9-ounce packs and retails for just $14.99 — much less than you would pay for a family outing to your favorite Japanese restaurant.

One satisfied customer commented how much they enjoyed the Yakisoba stir fry, saying that it was “very good” and that it is one of the things they miss most having a Costco membership, adding that they liked to “add a little sesame oil to take it up a notch.” Another customer detailed how perfect the stir fry is for lunch, revealing that they “have these for lunch just about every day, but do them in the skillet." They also recommended that you add "extra soy sauce and some gochugaru for a bit of kick.”
