Lotteria's New Thick Shrimp Burger Just Dropped
Main Story
Lotteria just launched the Ria Thick Shrimp Spicy Tomato burger and people are already comparing it to their square shrimp patty to see how much thicker it actually is. It's one of those fast food drops where Koreans immediately rush to try it and post side-by-side reviews. The big question everyone's asking: is the patty really that much beefier than the original?
Why do we peek
Korean fast food fans treat every new menu launch like a personal investigation. The whole "두툼" (thick) thing isn't just marketing — people actually measure, compare, and rate whether brands deliver on the promise. This burger drop is happening right as shrimp burgers are having a moment again, so everyone's watching to see if Lotteria's playing it safe or actually upgrading.
Backstory
Lotteria's shrimp burgers have been a menu staple forever, so this "thick" version is trying to one-up their own classic. If you're visiting Korea and want to try it, most Lotteria locations will have it now — just ask for "두툼새우버거" or point at the poster. Expect Koreans around you to be doing the same taste test comparison.
FAQ
What's the difference between this and Lotteria's regular shrimp burger?
The patty's supposed to be noticeably thicker and it comes with a spicy tomato sauce instead of the usual tartar. People are literally holding them side by side to see if the thickness claim is real.
Is Lotteria only in Korea?
It started in Japan but the Korean branch became its own thing decades ago. Now Korean Lotteria has a totally different menu and vibe — it's basically a local chain at this point.
Why do Koreans care so much about shrimp burgers?
Shrimp burgers have been a Korean fast food thing since the '90s — they're nostalgic comfort food. When chains mess with the recipe or add a new version, people have opinions because they grew up with it.
