Unnecessary hanzi! Haven't seen that for a while. i don't know what a "bake" is but a juan is anything round with something in it. Burrito would be a better translation, or maybe wrap. "Beef burger" is a word that doesn't even exist in English, a burger is beef by definition. If it makes anyone feel better it tastes like crap, mushy meat, NO SEAR and thousand island dressing.
You sure this is costco? It looks like Sam's. Get your meatballs soon, Ikea is closing up in China because all the housing has been built and sold and young couples aren't furnishing apartments any more. They're replacing the cardboard crap with good quality lacquer furniture with no cushions because sitting and laying on hard surfaces is good for healthy.
"Bake" is a Costco thing. Costco in amerikkka has a chicken bake like that bulgolgi bake but with chicken, cheese, bacon, and caesar dressing inside instead of bulgolgi. It's not really a burrito or wrap, the breading is one continuous fully sealed piece all the way around, closer to a calzone than anything else.
Oh, I know what those are. It's a kind of meat pastry, you put it in an air fryer and it cooks the biscuit-like exterior. They're a packaged food you don't even need to buy at Sam's, they had them at Ole for the longest time. Stopped buying them because processed food is bad, mmmkay?
I'm not saying it's the same everywhere, but where I am we definitely specify beef burgers in English, because a burger does not have to be beef. It could be a chicken burger, a pork burger, a mushroom burger, a soy burger, a chickpea burger, a black bean burger, a veggie burger, etc. Burger is not definitionally beef here. Edit: hamburger is always beef, but burger leaves it open to being other things that make the patty.
"beef burger" is Chinglish. It's a literal translation of the Chinese words. If you order a "hamburger" it's beef. Always. Unless you specifically order a veggie burger or whatever.
and I'm telling you that isn't universally true everywhere that english is the primary language. Where I am, you would order a beef burger if you wanted a beef burger
