What Food Can You Find at Busan Lotte World?
You can bring outside food into Busan Lotte World, but food you bring yourself may only be eaten in designated picnic areas, not in the seating areas of restaurants or snack shops inside the park. If you would rather not carry lots of food around, let us introduce Joyful Food Plaza, a food court at Busan Lotte World operated by the Lotte Group's PLE: EATING.
If you want a filling meal at Busan Lotte World, we highly recommend Joyful Food Plaza. If you are short on time or only a little hungry, opt for regular fast food instead.

The food court at Busan Lotte World, Joyful Food Plaza, is spacious and has plenty of seating, making it a great place for families and groups to enjoy a meal together. In summer, you can escape the heat in the air conditioning, while in winter, it is the perfect place to warm up indoors, allowing you to enjoy delicious food in a comfortable setting.
When mealtime begins, the sounds of cooking fill the open kitchen at Joyful Food Plaza.
Here, you can see the entire food preparation process. You can watch the steam rise from dishes cooked to order and see them being prepared right in front of you, so anyone visiting Busan Lotte World can enjoy a more reassuring dining experience.

Ordering is very convenient, too. Self-service kiosks are available on-site, allowing you to pay directly by card. They support Chinese, English, and Japanese, and even provide photos comparing the dishes, so there is no need to worry about choosing the wrong item or placing an incorrect order.
However, if you order a drink or ice cream from a self-service kiosk, you need to tell a staff member after paying so they can retrieve it from the refrigerator near the entrance. For regular meal items, take your order number after completing your purchase and wait for your freshly prepared food to be ready. Your number will appear on the screen in the open kitchen.
Utensils are self-service, too. Once your food is ready, simply pick up the utensils you need from this area.
Fish Cake Udon and Gimbap
- Self-service kiosk menu name: Fish Cake Udon & Gimbap
- Self-service kiosk category: Pork Cutlet and Udon
- Food counter: Hoho Katsu (Hoho Katsu)

If you want a generous meal that will warm and fill you up, this combination of fish cake udon and gimbap is a reliable choice.
The udon also comes with one especially cute Lotte World character fish cake. Thick, springy, and moist, it is so eye-catching that children often insist on ordering it. When our editor walked past another table with a child, we noticed that the whole family had ordered this fish cake udon, too!

The gimbap included in the set is brushed with sesame oil and sprinkled with white sesame seeds, making it look mouthwatering even before you take a bite.
Inside, you will find a generous filling of pickled radish, imitation crab, shredded carrot, cucumber, and more. The rice layer is thin while the filling is hearty, making each bite surprisingly satisfying. It is a great choice when you want to fill up quickly and recharge at Busan Lotte World.
Pork Cutlet with Spicy Chewy Noodles
- Self-service kiosk menu name: Pork Cutlet with Spicy Chewy Noodles
- Self-service kiosk category: Asian Noodles
- Cooking counter: Asian Cook (Asian Cook)
As a huge pork cutlet fan, our editor could not pass up this dish at Busan Lotte World: a perfect combination of a thick pork cutlet and refreshing jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles).

The chewy noodles come in a generous portion with salad greens, topped with a golden, crispy pork cutlet. Mix the sauce and noodles thoroughly, then alternate between bites of pork cutlet and noodles. The combination helps balance out the richness, and the contrasting textures make it so addictive that you will not want to stop.
Bulgogi Rice Bowl
- Self-service kiosk menu name: Bulgogi Rice Bowl
- Self-service kiosk category: Korean Food
- Cooking counter: Sodam Bapsang (Sodam Bapsang)
If you cannot eat spicy food and want a comforting, authentic Korean meal, try the Bulgogi Rice Bowl at Lotte World. It has the satisfying flavor of a proper home-cooked meal.
A generous helping of bulgogi coated in a savory-sweet sauce sits on steaming white rice with fluffy, separate grains. The meat is tender rather than tough, and as you savor it, you can also taste the natural sweetness of the well-cooked onions.
The rice bowl looks appetizing, and the rich savory-sweet sauce pairs so well with the white rice that you will keep reaching for another bite. The Korean side dishes vary daily and may include kimchi and quail eggs. Add a sip of the warm, clear soup for a balanced and filling meal.
Cheese Kimchi Fried Rice
- Self-service kiosk menu name: Cheese Kimchi Fried Rice
- Self-service kiosk category: Korean Food (Noodles)
- Cooking counter: HAN SPOON (HAN SPOON)
Good news for cheese lovers! When you picture the most classic Korean comfort food scene, you cannot leave out the incredibly indulgent cheese stretching endlessly over steaming kimchi fried rice, practically enough to make you feel guilty.
The tangy, spicy kimchi fried rice is well seasoned, with separate grains and plenty of aroma. A generous layer of melted cheese adds a rich milky flavor that mellows the kimchi's heat, leaving a deep, smooth taste in your mouth.
Scoop up a spoonful while it is hot and watch the cheese stretch: it is a treat for both your eyes and your taste buds. The distinctive aroma of crumbled seaweed is inviting, too. Rich cheese, tangy-spicy fried rice, and seaweed come together in layers of flavor with every satisfying bite.
Naengmyeon Dumpling Set
- Self-service ordering kiosk menu name: Naengmyeon King Dumpling Set
- Self-service ordering kiosk category: Asian Noodle Dishes
- Cooking station: Asian Cook
When you crave something refreshing, the naengmyeon and dumpling set is an excellent choice. Its cold, slightly tangy broth is filled with chewy noodles and topped with shredded cucumber and pear, a boiled egg, and tender slices of beef. One sip of the broth makes the muggy heat melt away.
Alongside the noodles are two freshly steamed Korean dumplings with thin wrappers and generous, juicy fillings. Finish the set and you will feel comfortably full, with your appetite refreshed and your energy replenished.
After your meal at Busan Lotte World's Joyful Food Plaza, remember to take your utensils and dishes to the self-service return station. Free drinking water and napkins are also available for you to help yourself to, making the food court especially convenient.
We hope this food guide makes choosing what to eat a little easier. Enjoy a delicious meal and a happy break here!
