You won’t believe which sold-out Trader Joe’s favorite ALDI just brought back!

If you've been scouring Trader Joe’s freezer aisle hoping to find their wildly popular Kimbap, you're not alone.

The Korean-inspired seaweed rice roll has been in high demand and nearly impossible to snag.

Now, there's good news for fans of the craveable snack.

ALDI is stepping in with its own Kimbap—and two new flavors are about to hit shelves.



Trader Joe’s Kimbap has been a hot commodity, sparking a social media frenzy and consistently leaving shelves empty.

The fully cooked, pre-sliced rolls quickly became a cult favorite for their convenience and bold flavor.

But now, ALDI is giving shoppers a second chance to enjoy the trend.

Under its Fusia Asian Inspirations label, ALDI is launching Traditional and Tuna Mayo Kimbap on June 18.

Each version comes in a frozen eight-piece roll, ready to microwave in five minutes. The Traditional Kimbap includes “Korean-style imitation crab, egg, carrots, spinach, and pickled daikon in a seaweed rice roll.”

The Tuna Mayo features “Tuna mayo & perilla leaf in a seaweed rice roll.” Both varieties are priced at just $3.49 per box.

ALDI first introduced its Kimbap lineup last year with flavors like Spicy Salmon and BBQ Beef Bulgogi.

Earlier this year, Spicy Tuna with Gochujang and Kimchi & Tofu appeared in freezer sections. Now, the grocery chain is expanding with these two new additions.



Shoppers are already expressing excitement on Reddit and social media. Customers are praising ALDI’s Kimbap as a flavorful, budget-friendly alternative to Trader Joe’s.

One online user shared, “I’m going back for more.” Another commented, “Highly recommend if anyone finds them in their stores.”

A third added, “Looks like the same manufacturer as the Trader Joe’s tofu one, which is fire.”

Some fans have speculated that ALDI and Trader Joe’s Kimbap could share a supplier, though that remains unconfirmed.



ALDI’s latest Kimbap launch is both timely and crowd-pleasing. For fans of Trader Joe’s version, this might be the best alternative available right now.

Given how quickly it’s selling, waiting could mean missing out entirely.

Keep an eye on the freezer aisle when shopping next—these may disappear as quickly as they arrive.
