The $1 K-Burger Takeover: Lotteria Shrimp Burger Goes Viral for Mother’s Day
If you thought the era of the “dollar menu” was dead, think again. In a bold move that’s sending shockwaves through the SoCal food scene, Lotteria Shrimp Burger—the undisputed icon of Korean fast food—is being offered for just $1 to celebrate Mother’s Day. Starting May 8th, Lotteria USA is slashing the price of its best-selling item to give families a delicious, budget-friendly way to treat Mom.
From $6.99 to $1: A “Thank You” to the Community
This isn’t just a discount on a side item; it’s a full-blown celebration. The Lotteria Shrimp Burger, which normally retails for $6.99 and accounts for a whopping 30% of the store’s total sales, is the star of the show. Known for its crispy, plump shrimp patty and signature sauce that has obsessed fans in Korea for decades, this “K-Burger” staple is now more accessible than ever.
“Mother’s Day is about family and gratitude,” says Jung-wook Lee, head of Lotteria USA. “With rising costs making dining out a burden for many, we wanted to return the love our customers have shown us since our grand opening.”
