South Korea's biggest burger chain Lotteria opens in OC
Lotteria, a major Japanese-Korean fast-food chain with locations across South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and more, just opened its first U.S. location in Fullerton in Orange County.
FULLERTON, Calif. - Lotteria, the renowned burger chain from South Korea, celebrated the grand opening of its first U.S. flagship restaurant in Orange County on Thursday, Aug. 14.
The Japanese-Korean fast food chain has locations across South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, but the Fullerton restaurant is the chain's first-ever in the U.S.
Founded in 1972 by entrepreneur Shin Kyuk-ho, the chain now boasts more than 1,300 restaurants across South Korea alone. According to officials, its name comes from combining "Lotte" (its parent company) with "cafeteria."
The restaurant is known for its unique fast food offerings, such as marinated bulgogi burgers, shrimp burgers, fried chicken, and the ultra-popular mozzarella cheesesticks.
Keep in mind that the chain is known for customizing menus based on location, so the Fullerton restaurant could be offering some pretty unique items compared to its sister locations abroad.
Lotteria is located at 150 W. Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton.
