We're all guilty of a cheat meal every now and then, especially after a tough week when we feel we deserve some carb-filled comfort. If you're planning to stay in South Korea, you can get a taste of its sumptuous quick food. We're not here for gourmet meals; here are some of the most popular fast food spots in Korea, waiting to serve you!
Isaac Toast
Ollie Kendal's go-to place for great toasted bread in South Korea, also introduced by Josh Carrott (@koreanenglishman). You'd think toast couldn't be more than edible, but Isaac Toast makes it delicious with bacon toast, shrimp toast, bulgogi toast, and more. They bring in customers from all over, so they must be doing something right, perfect as a snack or a good breakfast.
Lotteria
Korea's home-grown burger chain sells your classic burgers, fries, and chicken, but with its own unique variety of options that taste different from anywhere else. A great pick when you want something a little different.
Nene Chicken
Korea loves its fried chicken, and Nene Chicken (endorsed by faces like NU'EST and SEVENTEEN) is a favorite. Each piece is mixed with different spices and sauces for a burst of flavor, whether as a full meal or a snack with friends.
Mom's Touch
Named for the love a mother puts into every meal, Mom's Touch satisfies burger and chicken cravings and even sells fruit smoothies and flavored milkshakes for a sweet tooth. A warm, comforting stop.
McDonald's
Yes, McDonald's, but with a Korean twist! Beyond the basics, you'll find options like a bulgogi burger, adding a bit of change to your fast food meals.
Before you head to South Korea, you can enjoy authentic Korean snacks at home. Where to buy Korean snacks online? The Daebak Company has an endless list of Korean snacks and kpop goods, and you can subscribe to the Daebak Box for a surprise combination of snacks, kpop goods, and more!
