If you're planning to stay in South Korea, you can get a taste of their sumptuous quick Korean food. Then this list is for you! We're not here for gourmet meals. Instead, here are some of the most popular fast food in Korea, waiting to serve you! After learning the important Korean table manners, you’re ready to dive into a Korean fast food tour below.

Isaac Toast

Maybe you've heard or seen this mentioned before in some YouTube videos? Ollie Kendal's go-to place for good toasted bread in South Korea! You may have seen him and Josh Carrott (@koreanenglishman) introduce their friends and family to this humble place.

You would think it impossible to make toast sound anything more than just edible, never mind taste absolutely delicious. Isaac Toast offers bacon toast, shrimp toast, bulgogi toast, and more! Nonetheless, they bring in customers from all over, so they must be doing something right. You can make this part of your list for Korean snacks or a good breakfast meal!

While saving a trip to South Korea, we can help you enjoy your everyday toasts with the Nevertheless Daywell Spread. Go for chocolate & cookie, green tea & almond, strawberry & cookie, or peanut & butter today!

Lotteria

 

Coming from our good friends at Lotte, though not exclusive to Korea, this place is still worthy of recommendation on our list! They sell your classic burgers, fries, chicken, etc., but it all tastes unique due to the company having its own variety of options. This restaurant should satisfy your hunger for something different!

Nene Chicken

 

Maybe you've seen some familiar faces advertising for these guys before? Faces, such as NU'EST and SEVENTEEN, maybe? Everyone knows Korea loves its fried chicken, and who can blame them? Some prefer to eat them in a full meal while others like them as Korean snacks at home or while hanging out with friends.

The different spices and sauces are mixed together to prepare each piece of chicken, igniting a burst of flavor in your mouth! Just looking at this Korean food makes your mouth water. Say 'goodbye' to your boring cheat meals!

Mom’s Touch

Named for the same kind of love put into each meal as your mother would put into your sandwiches and packed lunches, this restaurant will not only resolve those burger cravings but make you feel that warm feeling in your heart, much like knowing the love of your mother.

Maybe that's a bit dramatic… Still, Mom's Touch is an excellent place to visit for those cheeky cravings. They even sell some pleasant drinks, such as fruit smoothies and flavored milkshakes, to satisfy that sweet tooth! They are some of the must-try Korean fast food desserts to have. No matter what you like, you'll find something suited for you right here.

If you love fruity drinks, how about tasting authentic Hallabong drinks harvested from tangerines on Jeju Island?

McDonald's

Everyone knows McDonald's! Before you leave, let us explain why the world-famous Maccies has made its way onto this list—because it's different.

They don't just sell the basic cheeseburger and fries, oh no. They sell them with a twist! How do fries with chocolate sound? Or maybe a burger with bulgogi? It's safe to say that eating here in Korea will definitely add that bit of change to your fast food meals!
