## In short

Moana Burger is a handmade burger restaurant on Nanseolheon-ro in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, relocated from Sacheon Beach. After running a lap around Gyeongpo Lake, the writer parked in Moana Burger's own lot and ordered the Moana Burger and the Hawaiian Burger, whose 100% beef patties were juicy rather than dry. With a roomier dining room and easy parking, Moana Burger is worth building a Gangneung lunch around.

Today I'm bringing you a revisit review of Moana Burger, a handmade burger spot you absolutely shouldn't miss if you're in Gangneung!

## Moana Burger has moved from Sacheon Beach to Chodang-dong

Moana Burger is a handmade burger restaurant that moved to 228-33 Nanseolheon-ro in Chodang-dong, Gangneung. It used to be over by Sacheon Beach, which had great ocean views but was a bit far, and the only seating was an outdoor terrace — a little inconvenient. Recently, though, it relocated to Chodang-dong, one of Gangneung's hottest spots!

Thanks to that, it's now much more accessible from Gyeongpodae and downtown Gangneung, and it's become the perfect Chodang-dong lunch stop to sprint to with a growling stomach after a refreshing lap around Gyeongpo Lake.

It's on the right side of the road heading from Gangneung High School toward Café Toetmaru.

- Address: 228-33 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea
- Hours: 11:00–21:00 (closed Tuesdays)

## Parking in Chodang-dong: Moana Burger's own lot

On weekends, Chodang-dong gets packed with tourists and parking can be brutal, but Moana Burger has its own dedicated parking lot, so you can visit without any parking stress.

The terrace vibe from the Sacheon Beach days was nice too, but the newly relocated space is really spacious and nicely done up inside, so you can enjoy delicious handmade burgers regardless of the weather.

## Moana Burger menu: every burger comes with fries

Moana Burger's menu is a tight, focused lineup centered on handmade burgers. There's no separate set menu, but every burger comes with fries included as standard. You can also order the burger alone without fries if you'd rather, so pick whichever suits you.

- Signature Moana Burger
- Sweet and savory Hawaiian Burger
- Moana Double Burger — two patties with no sauce, for pure beef flavor
- Sides: chili bean wedge potatoes, buffalo wings
- Drinks & beer: a wide lineup of imported beers and beverages

You get ₩2,000 off an imported draft beer when you order a burger. If you left the car at home, or just want to cool off after a run, definitely go for the burger-and-craft-beer combo!

We ordered the most popular items, the Moana Burger and the Hawaiian Burger.

For drinks, you just pick whichever you like and grab it yourself from the fridge.

## How the Moana Burger and Hawaiian Burger taste

A glossy bun, a patty brimming with juice, vegetables that look super fresh — I couldn't even guess how good this was going to be.

![Fries included as standard with the burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/moana-burger-gangneung-chodang-lunch/moana-burger-gangneung-chodang-lunch-12-qk3v2-924.webp)

The fries are fluffy and salty in the best way too.

The Moana Burger is classic yet the balance of sauce, vegetables, and a juicy patty is fantastic. It's true to the basics while still delivering deep flavor.

![The Hawaiian Burger with grilled pineapple](https://img.superchart.com/images/moana-burger-gangneung-chodang-lunch/moana-burger-gangneung-chodang-lunch-14-iaren-924.webp)

The Hawaiian Burger throws a sweet-and-salty party in your mouth, with the sweetness of well-grilled pineapple against the savory, juicy patty.

### Why Moana Burger's 100% beef patty isn't dry

> The seasoning on this patty is genuinely a work of art!

The best part was that "the seasoning on this patty is genuinely a work of art!" They use a 100% beef patty, and 100% beef patties can easily turn out dry, right? But the moment you bite into Moana Burger's patty, the juices run out, and the texture is unexpectedly moist and tender for beef.

## Why Moana Burger works as a Gangneung lunch stop

A more spacious, cleaner space after relocating to the more accessible Chodang-dong, plus the insane juiciness of that 100% beef patty! It's a great spot to stop by after a walk or run around Gyeongpo Lake, so if you're looking for a Gangneung burger restaurant or a Gangneung handmade burger spot, I recommend it without hesitation!
