The most central Lotteria in Daegu is Lotteria Daegu Dongseong-ro (롯데리아 대구동성로점), at 39 Dongseong-ro, Jung-gu, on the city’s main shopping street. Its directory listing says it is open 24 hours a day, every day, with a one-hour break from 4:00 to 5:00 a.m. Order the Ria Bulgogi, Lotteria’s signature since 1992: ₩5,100 nationwide since May 28, 2026. My take: Lotteria is a fast-food chain, not a destination. It is still the cheapest way to taste how Korea rewrote the burger, and the bulgogi burger is the one item you won’t find at a chain back home.
How this guide was built: I have not eaten at the Daegu branches yet. Everything below comes from Korean directory listings, the Korean business press and Lotteria’s own channels, all checked on October 15, 2026, and every address, hour and rating names its source. One thing is missing: how many Lotteria branches Daegu has. I found no source that counts them, so I give no figure.
Lotteria Daegu addresses and opening hours
Three Lotteria branches in Daegu have a confirmed street address: Dongseong-ro in Jung-gu, Jung-dong in Suseong-gu, and Daegu International Airport in Dong-gu. Paste the Korean name into Naver Map or Kakao Map; Google Maps is patchy in Korea.
| Branch | Korean name | Address | District | Phone | Hours (as listed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daegu Dongseong-ro | 롯데리아 대구동성로점 | 39 Dongseong-ro (lot address: 동성로2가 88-22) | Jung-gu | 053-600-1100 | Mon–Sun, open 24 hours, closed 4:00–5:00 a.m. |
| Daegu Jung-dong | 롯데리아 대구중동점 | 384 Myeongdeok-ro (lot address: 수성동1가 274-10) | Suseong-gu | 053-767-4849 | 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. |
| Daegu Airport | 롯데리아 대구공항점 | 221 Gonghang-ro, Daegu International Airport, 2nd floor (Jijeo-dong) | Dong-gu | Not listed | Not listed |
Sources: Diningcode, Dongseong-ro, Diningcode, Jung-dong and Triple, Daegu Airport, all checked on October 15, 2026. The Dongseong-ro hours rest on a single directory. Before a 3 a.m. burger run, check Naver Map, Kakao Map or the Lotte Eatz store locator.

Lotteria Daegu Dongseong-ro: the late-night pick downtown
Lotteria Daegu Dongseong-ro is the branch to choose downtown, because it is listed as open around the clock except for one hour at dawn. According to Diningcode, you order at kiosks downstairs and eat in a dining room upstairs. The listing flags it as a good spot to eat alone, and it delivers. Phone: 053-600-1100.
Lotteria Daegu Jung-dong in Suseong-gu
Lotteria Daegu Jung-dong is a daytime branch on Myeongdeok-ro in Suseong-gu, open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. according to Diningcode. Its only review on that site describes a renovated, clean dining room. Phone: 053-767-4849.
Lotteria at Daegu International Airport
There is a Lotteria at Daegu International Airport, on the second floor of the terminal at 221 Gonghang-ro, Dong-gu. Its Triple listing gives no hours, no phone number and no reviews. Don’t count on it for a pre-flight meal without checking the airport directory first.
Other Lotteria branches in Daegu
Directory listings also exist for Lotteria Myeongdeok Negeori (롯데리아 명덕네거리점) and Lotteria Daegu Station (롯데리아 대구역사점), so the chain has more branches in the city center. Sources: Triple and Autoreserve. Trip.com also lists Lotteria restaurants in Seo-gu and Dong-gu, with no reviews. I could not verify the addresses or hours of these branches, so they stay out of the table.
Lotteria Daegu menu and prices: what to order
Order the Ria Bulgogi (리아 불고기), Lotteria’s bulgogi burger, at ₩5,100 for the burger alone. The Ria Shrimp (리아 새우) costs the same. Both are national prices, set on May 28, 2026, when Lotteria raised 22 single burgers by an average of 2.9%, or ₩100 to ₩300 each (CEO Score Daily, May 21, 2026).
| Item | Korean name | What it is | Price (KRW, since May 28, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ria Bulgogi | 리아 불고기 | Lotteria’s bulgogi burger, launched in 1992 | ₩5,100 (burger only) |
| Ria Shrimp | 리아 새우 | Shrimp burger | ₩5,100 (burger only) |
| Hanwoo Bulgogi Burger | 한우 불고기 버거 | Bulgogi burger made with Korean hanwoo beef, launched in 2004 | No reliable 2026 price found |
Directory listings for Dongseong-ro show higher burger prices than the national list. They look like delivery prices or stale data, so I left them out. I found no reliable current prices for combos, fries or drinks either. The kiosk screen has the price of the day.

The Lotteria bulgogi burger: Korean fast food explained
The Lotteria bulgogi burger is a burger flavored like bulgogi, the sweet soy-marinated Korean grilled beef. Lotteria launched it in 1992 and marked its 30th anniversary in 2022. Korean press puts cumulative sales above one billion. Treat that as a press figure: Lotteria has published no official, dated count (iNews24, Dailian). The shrimp burger is the other Korean classic, but if you order one thing, make it the bulgogi: it is the burger Lotteria built its name on.
Ria Bulgogi vs Hanwoo Bulgogi Burger
The difference is the beef. The Hanwoo Bulgogi Burger, launched in 2004, uses hanwoo, Korea’s native premium cattle. The Ria Bulgogi is the everyday version, and the cheaper one (Hankyung).
Lotteria Daegu reviews
Too few people have reviewed Lotteria in Daegu online to support a verdict. On Diningcode, Dongseong-ro scores 3.7 out of 5 from just 6 reviews, and Jung-dong scores 5.0 out of 5 from a single one (checked October 15, 2026). TripAdvisor, Yelp and Trip.com show nothing. I did not record Google, Naver or Kakao ratings, so I don’t quote them.
| Branch | Platform | Rating | Number of reviews | What reviewers say |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dongseong-ro | Diningcode | 3.7/5 | 6 | Praise: clean, good value, spacious. Criticism: few ways to customize your order |
| Jung-dong | Diningcode | 5.0/5 | 1 | Renovated and clean dining room |
So no Burger Breton rating here. A rating takes a visit and more than seven reviews.
Is Lotteria Korean or Japanese?
Lotteria started in Japan and is now run from Korea. Shin Kyuk-ho of the Lotte group founded it in Tokyo on February 2, 1972. The first Korean branch, Lotteria Sogong in Seoul, opened on October 25, 1979 (iNews24). In 2023 Lotte sold the Japanese business to Zensho Holdings, which planned to rename the Japanese restaurants Zetteria by March 2026. That leaves Korea as the brand’s home (Wikipedia).

How to order at Lotteria without speaking Korean
At Lotteria Daegu Dongseong-ro you order at a self-service kiosk downstairs, according to Diningcode. I could not confirm whether the kiosks have an English option, or which foreign cards and mobile wallets they accept, so carry a backup way to pay. Save the Korean name of your burger (리아 불고기) on your phone and show it if you get stuck. Online ordering runs through Lotteria’s official site and app, Lotte Eatz. Customer service answers on 080-550-0005, weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., according to a search summary of the Lotte Eatz contact page.

Is there a Lotteria at Daegu Airport or Daegu Station? Yes, there is one at Daegu International Airport, on the 2nd floor of the terminal at 221 Gonghang-ro. A Daegu Station branch (대구역사점) appears in directories, but I could not verify its details. I found no confirmed Lotteria at Dongdaegu Station.
Is Lotteria better or cheaper than McDonald’s in Korea? I had no dated McDonald’s Korea prices to compare like for like, so I give no price verdict. Lotteria is Korea’s biggest burger chain by restaurant count and has topped the K-BPI fast-food ranking for 28 years running. Where it beats McDonald’s, in my view, is on Korean flavors like bulgogi and shrimp.

Can I get Lotteria delivered in Daegu? Yes. Diningcode lists delivery from the Dongseong-ro branch, and Lotteria takes orders through its Lotte Eatz app. I did not verify whether Baemin or Coupang Eats cover Daegu branches.
