We found these in the freezer aisle at Costco, drawn in by the mammoth box. Inside the cardboard packaging you’ll find a literal sack with fifty medium sized spring rolls. The plastic package isn’t resealable so to prevent freezer burn you might want to transfer to a container or sealed bag; or you know, eat them all in one sitting.
Cooking: Common sense told me to skip the microwave, and indeed the oven too; I went right to the air fryer where 10 minutes yielded really crisp rolls.
Taste and texture: Super to be honest. A fabulously crispy exterior with no sogginess, something that mars countless competitor brands. The flavor is simple and clean, mainly leaning into the mix of fun veggies, items like jicama, sweet potato, bamboo shoot and more (see package below). They come together to add satisfying bite once you crunch through the exterior.
Other: I tossed the accompanying ginger soy dipping sauce right away. I guarantee I make a better dipping sauce myself with the myriad of ingredients my fridge and pantry (heaving at the seams) always have.
Verdict: The best frozen spring rolls I’ve tasted to date. Easily. Most other brands have a soggy layer between the interior and the exterior, not here. These were just about perfect; considering I’ve sworn of deep frying at home. Enjoy them as a snack, as a side dish, heck, toss em on top of a salad!
I also love to throw the odd spring roll on top of a Thai dish, especially curries, for an added crunch and crisp! Here’s my Thai yellow curry recipe too.

Overall
Are Royal Asia Vegetable Spring Rolls any good?
Yes! These are currently our favorite frozen spring rolls available in regard grocery stores. The fifty roll pack from Costco is also a steal at $10.

I bought a box of these at Costco and they don’t taste like anything! Like nothing at all! I regret spending money buying them and the sauce taste like only ginger
Sorry these didn’t hit the spot for you Toni. These are currently our favorite frozen spring roll by far.
We love love these egg rolls!! My husband wants them almost every night with dinner- no matter what we have! He’s not a big veggie eater so he feels like he’s getting his veggies with these! My Costco didn’t have them today and he was so bummed!!
We think these are great! But I want more sauce, how and where can I buy this Royal Asia Ginger Sauce?
When i was looking at it sum in there looked like chicken or something but i wasn’t because it wasn’t in the ingredients so i was wondering what it was. There was not taste for me but its a good price for 50 pieces
We though similarly the first time we tried these Sundus, my wife was convinced there was chicken in this product.
There is definitely some kind of meat in these! Yuck.
I would contact the manufacturer for sure Ivonne, we’ve had several boxes of these and for sure no meat.
Same I’m wondering what those little pieces are i have been vegan since 2012 and am wondering if I just ate meat
The best spring rolls I have had since Damon’s went out of business
Besides Costco where else can I buy these. I no longer have a membership and have not be able to find any others that taste this good.
Instacart in my area delivers food items from Costco.
where can you buy the sauce? the spring rolls are excellance. we love the sauce also.
I buy the Spring Rolls at Costco. The packages used to be very good before with 2 strips if tape on either ends and extending them to the sides. Now, the tape strips is becoming only one and taped only on the top. Also, the egg rolls wrapping is not consistent from batch to batch. May be you too much business and trying to hurry everything.
In everything, consistent quality is very important.
