Shake Shack is taking your taste buds on a Korean adventure. The fast-casual chain is back with its third and largest Korean-style menu, exclusively on the Shack App. From spicy-sweet fried chicken to Korean BBQ-inspired burgers and even a gochujang caramel shake, this menu is anything but ordinary. Inspired by the brand’s experiences in Seoul, it celebrates the city’s fried chicken culture with a modern Shake Shack twist. Dallas diners get first dibs starting January 9. Here’s everything you need to know before you order.
K-Shack Fried Chicken Sandwich Steals the Spotlight
The K-Shack Fried Chicken Sandwich is the star of the show. It features antibiotic-free, hand-breaded chicken breast coated in a spicy-sweet sesame gochujang glaze. Fresh scallions and kimchi slaw add crunch and tang, all on a toasted potato bun. At $10.49, it’s a spicy-sweet mashup that packs flavor and texture in every bite.
K-Shack BBQ Burger Brings Korean Flair
The K-Shack BBQ Burger combines 100% Angus beef patties with American cheese, crispy sweet onions, and fresh scallions. A savory Korean BBQ sauce ties it all together on a toasted potato bun. Priced at $10.49, it’s the perfect way to enjoy classic Shake Shack quality with a Korean-inspired twist.
New K-Shack Fried Chicken Bites
For snacking or sharing, the new Fried Chicken Bites hit the spot. These antibiotic-free chicken pieces are coated in the same spicy-sweet gochujang glaze as the sandwich. Served with your choice of dipping sauce and sprinkled with scallions, this 6-piece option costs $6.49 and delivers big flavor in small bites.
K-Shack Spicy BBQ Fries Take Sides to Next Level
Shake Shack’s crinkle-cut fries get a Korean makeover with kimchi seasoning and a side of Korean BBQ sauce. At $5.49, these fries bring heat, umami, and crunch in every bite. They’re a perfect companion to any main, or a snack all on their own.
NEW Spicy Caramel Shake Is Sweet and Fiery
The menu’s most daring item? The K-Shack Spicy Caramel Shake. Gochujang caramel frozen custard topped with whipped cream and more gochujang caramel creates a sweet-and-spicy dessert unlike any other. Priced at $6.99, it’s a bold ending to your Korean-inspired feast.
Shack App Exclusive: Order Like a Pro
This Korean-style menu is only available through the Shack App. Fans can get early access, order ahead, and skip the line. It’s part of Shake Shack’s strategy to combine digital convenience with limited-time menu excitement.
Seoul-Inspired Flavors Shape the Menu
Shake Shack’s menu draws inspiration from culinary trips to Seoul. The team fell in love with the city’s fried chicken culture, translating those experiences into the new offerings. This global inspiration adds authenticity and a playful twist to classic Shack staples.
South Korea’s Influence on Shake Shack
Shake Shack first opened in South Korea in 2016, setting the stage for its Korean flavor explorations. Since then, the chain has embraced local ingredients and flavor profiles, blending them with its signature American fast-casual approach. This menu is the latest evolution of that journey.
Why This Menu Matters
The third Korean-style menu is Shake Shack’s largest yet, offering both new creations and returning favorites. From burgers and sandwiches to bites, fries, and shakes, it provides a full meal experience. It’s a celebration of flavor, culture, and culinary curiosity, all in one order.
