Outback Steakhouse Jamsil (Lotte Department Store): lunch review with a Lotte World view
Outback Steakhouse Jamsil is on the 2nd floor of Lotte Department Store Jamsil (not Lotte Tower), a spacious branch famous for window seats with a view of Lotte World — and a satisfying lunch with great service. Here is our honest review with the dishes we ordered and a few money-saving tips.
Where it is
We assumed the Jamsil Outback would be inside Lotte Tower, but it is actually on the 2nd floor of Lotte Department Store Jamsil. The floor is fairly large, so it took a little walking to find the restaurant — which at least gave us a good excuse to look around the department store. The space itself is roomy and the tables are nice and big, true to Outback style. This branch is famous for window seats that look out onto Lotte World. We were seated toward the back near the kitchen, so we missed the view — reviews say the view seats are hard to reserve specifically, but if you land one, the amusement-park scenery must make the meal really fun.
What to order
We used a lunch set plus coupons. Our order:
- Steak: Garlic Rib-eye (medium)
- Pasta: Truffle Mushroom Toowoomba
- Coupon item: Aussie Cheese Fries (Outback app coupon)
- Special side: Brussels Sprout Plate (+4,000 KRW)
- Salad swap: Lemon Dill Vinaigrette Salad (+1,400 KRW)
- Drinks: Acerola Sparkling (+2,000 KRW), Mango Banana Blended (+3,000 KRW)
It starts, of course, with the Bushman Bread. It seems simple, yet it is so good — slathered with the mango spread, it is honestly delicious. The salad with Lemon Dill Vinaigrette is great for whetting the appetite once you mix it with the dressing underneath, and the mushroom-packed cream soup made the opening complete.
The Acerola Sparkling balanced everything beautifully — tart and refreshing, so the meal never felt heavy right to the end. The Mango Banana Blended is sweet, a good pick for kids or anyone needing a sugar boost.
The Aussie Cheese Fries felt extra tasty (I have recently become a fries convert), and the portion was generous enough to share — a dish you would regret not ordering. Definitely use the app coupon for it.
Then the Garlic Rib-eye steak: the medium doneness was perfect, and tender beef with crispy garlic flakes simply cannot taste bad. The Brussels Sprout Plate was a special side I ordered out of curiosity — roasted cabbage-like sprouts with sauce; their natural sweetness paired well with the meat and my companion loved it too. The Truffle Mushroom Toowoomba carried a subtle truffle aroma that made it feel more upscale than the regular Toowoomba, with plenty of mushrooms and shrimp. We ate it without extra sauce, though looking back I wish we had asked for more.
The vibe
The dining room is warm and comfortable, with wood booths and good lighting. We finished with a clean brown-rice green tea, and our server — who seemed to be training a junior — even packed up the leftover Bushman Bread for us. Genuinely kind service that kept the experience pleasant to the very end.
Verdict
A satisfying lunch on both food and service. Outback at Lotte Department Store Jamsil is an easy recommendation for a family meal or a date near Jamsil Station — and remember to use the app coupons and check for carrier and card discounts when you pay.
