Instead of the area's usual sundubu (soft tofu stew), the writer ordered the Moana burger, the Hawaiian burger, a Budweiser draft beer and a zero-sugar cola, and ate comfortably with a small dog thanks to the parking lot right in front and the pet-friendly policy. The rich handmade patty paired with draft beer made Moana Burger a satisfying meal on a Gangneung trip. ## Good to know - **Address**: 228-33 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung, Gangwon - **Hours**: 11:00 AM–9:00 PM - **Closed**: Tuesdays - **Parking**: Lot directly in front of the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Moana burger, Hawaiian burger, Budweiser draft beer, zero-sugar cola - **Pets**: Dogs welcome *as written by the visitor on Sep 24, 2026* ![Featured photo of a handmade burger at Moana Burger in Chodang-dong, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-01-boxbb-1200.webp) Hi everyone, it's Onufa. When you're traveling in Gangneung, it feels like a bit of a waste to only eat sundubu (soft tofu stew) in Chodang-dong, right? This time I went for something a little different — a handmade burger. The place I found was Moana Burger in Chodang-dong, Gangneung! And since it's pet-friendly, my little pup🐶 came along again. ## Parking at Moana Burger: a lot right out front Moana Burger has a parking lot right in front of the store, which is great news if you're driving. When you're traveling around Gangneung, it's surprisingly common to find a great restaurant and then have to hunt forever for a parking spot😂 But at Moana Burger you can park right out front, so I felt relaxed from the moment I arrived. > Moana Burger > Address: 228-33 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea > Hours: 11:00 AM–9:00 PM (closed Tuesdays) ![Exterior of Moana Burger with its American-style atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-02-1wgcf-900.webp) ![Interior decor of the Moana Burger restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-03-123zb-900.webp) ![Inside Moana Burger, feeling like an American restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-04-12tuw-900.webp) ![Seating and exotic decor items at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-05-cuak9-900.webp) ![A photo of the atmosphere at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-06-11118-m-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Moana Burger, and the mood inside On this visit at Moana Burger we ordered the Moana burger, the Hawaiian burger, Budweiser draft beer, and zero-sugar cola. Burgers with draft beer... honestly, is there a combo harder to mess up than this?🤣 I thought the place would only feel American in vibe, but once I tried the burger, it had that real handmade-burger flavor, which made it even more satisfying. ### 🇺🇸 An American diner feel the moment you walk in The atmosphere of the place was pretty striking from the start. The exterior already feels like an American restaurant, and once you're inside, the whole experience of eating the burger there gives you an oddly convincing feeling of being on a trip to the US. Looking back at the photos, I found myself thinking, "Is this Gangneung... or America?"😂 One moment you're eating sundubu in Gangneung, the next you've teleported to America. Still, this quirky atmosphere is part of what makes Moana Burger charming. ![Moana Burger's menu items laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-07-kiy0z-899.webp) ## How does the Moana burger taste? Finally, the burger arrived!!! ![Handmade burger from Moana Burger with a shiny bun](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-08-1h210-900.webp) The glossy, shiny bun catches your eye first, and inside it's packed generously with patty, cheese, and vegetables. ![Cross-section of the burger packed with patty, cheese, and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-09-1xjt6-900.webp) One bite in, and the patty's flavor really came through, blending nicely with the soft bun and all the fillings — definitely the fun of eating a proper handmade burger. It felt distinctly different from a typical chain burger. The texture and flavor of the patty were so alive that I thought, "Ah, this is why people come out for handmade burgers." And the visual of the cheese melting down... I was so busy taking photos I could barely wait to take a bite🤣. ![Handmade burger paired with Budweiser draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-10-12quf-900.webp) ## 🍺 Burger plus Budweiser draft: hard to resist The hidden star of the day was the Budweiser draft beer! Taking a bite of the burger and then a cold sip of draft beer... ahhh~~~~🍺 This combo was seriously blissful. Especially with a savory, slightly salty handmade burger, the cold beer cleans your palate right up, and you just keep reaching for more. In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the burger-and-beer combo. ## 🐶 Lunch in Gangneung with our small dog at the table ![A pet dog sitting quietly in a bag during lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-11-u1yis-900.webp) Since Moana Burger is pet-friendly, my pup came along on this visit too. Watching her sit so quietly tucked inside the bag was just so cute.🥹 When traveling to Gangneung, you sometimes worry about where to eat with your dog, so it was nice to find a handmade burger place where you can bring your pup along. ## 🌴 Looking for a change from sundubu in Gangneung? When you think of Gangneung, Chodang sundubu comes to mind first, but it's a bit of a shame to eat the same thing every time. This time I tried something different in Chodang-dong — handmade burgers with draft beer for lunch — and it was a pretty satisfying choice. With an exotic, mainland-America-like atmosphere plus a properly made handmade burger, I think it's worth stopping by at least once during a Gangneung trip. Especially if you're a burger lover like me, having a meal like this once during your trip isn't a bad idea at all.😋 Sundubu, then burgers... in Gangneung, eating really is the sightseeing.🤣 ![Wrapping up lunch at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft-12-227mu-900.webp) A Chodang-dong restaurant where I could enjoy a proper handmade burger and draft beer in a fully American-feeling space! Parking was easy, and being pet-friendly made it even more welcome for me traveling around Gangneung with my dog. Above all, the burger itself was delicious. If you love handmade burgers, stop by on your Gangneung trip.🍔 Thanks for the meal today too. ## Where it is - Moana Burger (모아나 버거) - 228-33 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 난설헌로 228-33 모아나버거 - 37.7899095, 128.9149703 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%A8%EC%95%84%EB%82%98%20%EB%B2%84%EA%B1%B0/@37.7899095,128.9149703,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cheongnyangni-late-plate/gangneung-chodong-moana-burger-budweiser-draft/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
