A Korean burger is a burger built on a Korean flavor set: bulgogi seasoned beef, a whole shrimp patty, gochujang, rice buns. In Fullerton you can eat one at LOTTERIA, 150 W Orangethorpe Ave, open 10am to 10pm daily with a drive-thru. Start with the Shrimp Burger.
That is the fast answer. What follows is the version we would give you if you pulled into the lot and asked at the window. We are the first LOTTERIA in the United States, most of our guests are eating this food for the first time, and we have spent a year learning which first orders land and which ones send people home confused.
What a Korean burger is, in one paragraph
Korea has had its own burger canon for decades, developed on its own terms rather than as a copy of the American one. That means seasoning worked into the patty instead of poured over it, seafood treated as a main event rather than a Friday substitute, rice used as a bun, and sweet heat from gochujang where an American menu would reach for barbecue sauce or bacon. It is not fusion and it is not an American burger with kimchi on top. If you want the longer version, we wrote it in What Is a K-Burger?.
Order this first
The Shrimp Burger at $6.99. It is our signature, it is the item the brand is known for in Korea, and it is the clearest single introduction to what makes this menu different. The patty is made from whole shrimp, so you can see the pieces when you look at it, and it carries tartar sauce and Thousand Island with lettuce and onion on a toasted sesame bun. It contains shellfish.
If you would rather start with beef, order the Bulgogi Burger at $6.49. The bulgogi marinade is in the patty, not just on it, and a house bulgogi sauce goes on top with mayonnaise, lettuce and onion. Sweet and savory at the same time, closer to a Korean barbecue plate than to a diner burger.

Order this if you have had LOTTERIA in Korea
Go straight to the Double Shrimp Burger at $8.49. Two patties, dill pickles instead of onion, both sauces. It is the order that tells returning guests fastest whether we got it right, and it is the one they tend to write about afterward.
Then get the Bibim Rice Burger at $9.49, because it is the item you cannot buy anywhere else nearby. Two pressed rice buns, a bulgogi seasoned beef patty, a fried egg, lettuce, onion and gochujang sauce. Eat it in the dining room with the wrapper on. It is not a car food.
One detail worth knowing if you are comparing against memory. Most of what we cook here is sourced in the United States, but the shrimp comes directly from LOTTERIA’s own operations in Vietnam, which is how the patty stays consistent with what the brand serves elsewhere.
Order this if you are bringing kids
The Teri Burger at $4.49 is the easiest sell at the table. A quarter pound beef patty, teriyaki sauce, grilled onions, iceberg lettuce and mayonnaise on a sesame bun. Sweet, familiar, no heat, and the lowest priced burger we make.
Add a Shake It Nugget at $3.99 for the table, because the shaking is the entertainment. If someone wants dessert, Cup Bingsu is $4.99 and it is a Korean style slush layered with red bean paste, fruit cocktail, mini rice cakes, yakgwa and roasted grain powder, with matcha available. It is the item most likely to be new to everyone in the car.
We have a dining room with tables and banquette seating, self-order kiosks that let a kid push the buttons, and a drive-thru for the days when nobody is getting out of the car.
The fries you shake
Shake It Fries are $3.79 and they come with a seasoning packet in a closed bag. You pour, you close, you shake, you eat. Onion or cheese. It is a small piece of business that our guests bring up more than almost anything else on the menu, and it is the reason we would tell you to spend the extra fifty cents over the plain French Fries at $3.29.
Shake It Nugget works the same way with chicken nuggets at $3.99. If you are ordering for two people, get one of each seasoning and trade.
Getting here, and the Los Angeles question
We are at 150 W Orangethorpe Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832, in the shopping center anchored by Walmart and Costco, in a building that used to be a KFC. Open 10am to 10pm every day. Drive-thru, dine-in and take-out, with free parking in the lot. The phone is (657) 248-7029, pickup runs through our order page, and the full board is on the menu.
People search for a LOTTERIA in Los Angeles constantly, so here is the plain answer: there is no Los Angeles location. Fullerton is the first LOTTERIA in the United States and it is the one you can drive to. From most of central Los Angeles that is a straight run down the freeway, and the drive-thru means you do not have to fight for a table when you get here.
