South Korea’s beloved fast-food icon Lotteria has officially landed in Singapore, marking its much-anticipated debut at Jewel Changi Airport. Operated in partnership with local lifestyle group Katrina Group, the opening introduces Singapore diners to the original K-burger brand that has shaped South Korea’s burger culture for generations. Known for its distinctly Korean flavours and playful menu, Lotteria’s arrival adds a fresh new dimension to Singapore’s fast-food scene.
Ria’s Shrimp Burger 4.2/5
Ria’s Shrimp Burger (from $7.20 à la carte), a cult favourite and one of Lotteria’s signature items, features a crisp yet bouncy shrimp patty that delivers a satisfying bite without feeling heavy. The combination of tartar and Thousand Island sauces keeps things light and tangy, while the soft, fluffy bun does an excellent job of holding everything together. Simple, comforting, and easy to enjoy.
Ria’s Bulgogi Burger 4.2/5
Ria’s Bulgogi Burger (from $7.20 à la carte), inspired by the classic Korean bulgogi dish, offers a sweet-savoury flavour profile that feels instantly familiar. The beef patty is juicy, and the bulgogi sauce adds a pleasant depth without overpowering the palate. A solid choice for those who prefer traditional Korean flavours in burger form.
Kimchi Bulgogi Burger 4.2/5
Created exclusively for Singapore, the Kimchi Bulgogi Burger (from $7.80 à la carte) is a bold expression of Lotteria’s Korean roots with a local twist. A juicy beef patty glazed in sweet-savoury bulgogi sauce is layered with tangy kimchi, delivering a punchy balance of richness, spice, and umami in every bite. This is easily one of the more exciting options on the menu.
Mozzarella Burger Tomato Basil 4.5/5
One of Lotteria’s most iconic and indulgent offerings, the Mozzarella Burger Tomato Basil (from $12.50 à la carte) is all about that dramatic cheese pull. Loaded with rich mozzarella and accented with a tomato-basil twist, this burger leans heavily into comfort and indulgence. It’s no surprise this burger became a massive hit overseas, selling an impressive 450,000 units in its first week and eventually earning a permanent spot on the menu. It is also my favourite burger among the burgers I tried.
Shake Shake Fries 4/5
The Shake Shake Fries ($5.20 for a regular size) come with a choice of onion, cheese, or chilli seasoning. Our favourite is the cheese seasoning, which adds a savoury boost that makes the fries dangerously addictive. Fun, customisable, and great for sharing.
Gangjung Chicken 4/5
Lotteria’s Gangjung Chicken (from $9 à la carte) delivers on texture and flavour. The fried chicken is juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and generously coated in a sweet-and-spicy sauce that hits all the right notes without being cloying.
Cup Bingsu 2.5/5
Perfect in concept for Singapore’s tropical climate, the Cup Bingsu ($5.90) is refreshing but slightly underwhelming in execution. The shaved ice is noticeably coarser than expected, detracting from the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth experience typically associated with bingsu.
Overall, Lotteria’s debut brings a nostalgic yet refreshing Korean fast-food experience to Singapore. With its unique burgers, playful sides, and distinctly Korean flavours, it offers something a little different from the usual fast-food fare, and it’s a welcome addition to Jewel Changi Airport’s ever-growing dining lineup.
Note: This is an invited tasting.
