Exploring the Fast Food Restaurants of Korea đ

I think itâs safe to say that we all tend to be quite guilty of having a cheat meal every now and then. Like when weâve had a tough week and feel like we deserve some carb-filled delectables to sooth our frustrations, and thatâs okay! Theyâre out there for us to enjoy, right?
But do you ever get sick of eating the same boring meal every time? A burger thatâs flavour is now bland when you bite into it or a piece of chicken that no longer makes your tongue dance with spices; as if youâve gone⊠numb to food? If this is the case then worry not, for this list is for you! Weâre not here for gourmet meals! Some of Koreaâs finest and most popular fast food restaurants are waiting at your service! Let's dive in and discover just a few of them:
Isaac Toast
Maybe youâve heard or seen this mentioned before in some YouTube videos? That's because people think itâs amazing! You would think it impossible to make toast sound anything more than just edible, never mind taste absolutely delicious. They offer interests such as bacon toast, shrimp toast, bulgogi toast, and more. To sum them up, theyâre basically burgers and sandwiches, but with toast! Nonetheless, they bring in customers from all over, so they must be doing something right. Theyâre scrumptious!
Lotteria
Coming from our good friends at Lotte, though not exclusive to Korea, this place is still worthy of the list! They sell your classic burgers and fries, and chicken, etc.; but it all tastes unique due to the company, of course, having their own variety of options. When youâre hungry for something different, this restaurant should satisfy those needs!
Nene Chicken
Maybe youâve seen some familiar faces advertising for these guys before? Faces, such as NUâEST and SEVENTEEN, maybe? Well, everyone knows Korea does love its fried chicken, and who can blame them? The different flavours of all those spices and sauces that have been mixed together to prepare each piece of chicken, all dancing in your mouth, igniting a burst of flavour! Just looking at it makes your mouth water. May your cheat meals be boring no more!
Momâs Touch
Named for the same kind of love put into each meal as your mother would put into your sandwiches when she made your 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 thatâs a bit dramatic⊠Still, Momâs Touch is a nice place to visit for those cheeky cravings, and they even sell some pleasant drinks, such as fruit smoothies and flavoured milkshakes, to satisfy that sweet tooth! No matter what you like, youâll find something suited for you right here.
McDonald's
McDonald's is familiar, but before you leave, let us explain why the world-famous Maccies has made its way onto this list: Because itâs different. They donât just sell the basic cheeseburger and fries, oh no. They sell them with a twist. How do fries with chocolate on them sound? Or maybe a burger with bulgogi also piled on there? Itâs safe to say that eating here in Korea will definitely add that bit of change to your fast food meals!
So, when you next have that craving for fast food, and youâre in Korea, hopefully youâll remember this list and it guides you to a whole new world of tastes and flavours!
Let us know if youâve ever been to any of the listed restaurants, and what you thought of their food! Weâd love to know!
