Have you ever had Korean cheesecake? It is like a cross between a sponge cake and castella—light, airy, and delicate. Unlike the dense, rich, and creamy American-style cheesecake, this version has a soft, cake-like texture with just a subtle hint of cream cheese flavor. It is fluffy, gently sweet, and feels much lighter overall. Let’s see if the Costco Samlip Soft Cheese Cake is a hit or a miss.
Product Overview
One box is $9.99 and comes with 10 individually packaged cheesecakes.

Rating and Review
Hit | Miss
The cheesecake absolutely hit the mark. It was light, airy, and beautifully soft with a sponge-cake texture and a subtle hint of tangy cream cheese. It was not overly sweet. This is the perfect treat to pair with a cup of tea or coffee. At most Asian bakeries, these typically run about $3–4 per piece, so at roughly $1 each for the Costco Samlip Soft Cheese Cake, it feels like a great value. I would definitely purchase this again.
