A couple drove 10 minutes from Gyeongpodae for lunch and shared the Moana Burger on its own for 12,000 won, the Moana Double Burger with fries for 17,000 won and a draft beer, praising the patty's juices, the charred flavor and the balance of vegetables and sauce.

Moana Burger is located at 228-33 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung, open 11:00–21:00, closed every Tuesday. We went there after sightseeing at Gyeongpodae — it took about 10 minutes by car. ![Exterior of Moana Burger, 10 minutes by car from Gyeongpodae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-02-i0yv8-966.webp) It's near the coastal road, so it's a great stop on a drive, and it's just 2 minutes from Sacheon Beach — perfect for a visit before or after a swim on a nice day. ![Parking space in front of Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-03-luawt-966.webp) It's a 4-minute walk from Heo Gyun & Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park and just 1.2km from St. John's Hotel, making it a convenient spot for hotel guests to grab a casual meal. Parking right in front of the shop made things easy, too :D ## Inside Moana Burger: seating, mood and whether dogs are allowed Inside, Moana Burger has a Hawaiian beach mood with surfboards and big leafy plants, and it's a pet-friendly spot that even welcomes large dogs. The wide-open folding doors at the entrance give it a breezy, open feel. ![Moana Burger entrance with folding doors open](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-04-182w8-966.webp) Inside, surfboards and big plants show off that laid-back Hawaiian beach mood! ![Interior of Moana Burger decorated with surfboards and plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-05-13t3d-966.webp) ![Hawaiian-mood seating inside Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-06-1hixy-966.webp) The most eye-catching detail was the black-and-white checkerboard tile at the counter — it gave off a hip, vintage vibe like an American classic diner, great for photos. The stainless steel tables were a unique touch too. ![Checkerboard-tile counter and stainless steel tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-07-ff306-966.webp) Above all, the standout feature is that it's a pet-friendly restaurant that even welcomes large dogs. ![Pet-friendly interior at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-08-23zd9-966.webp) ![Sign pointing to the restroom inside Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-09-1mcfx-966.webp) There's also a restroom inside, which made things convenient! ## What we ordered at Moana Burger and what it cost Here's what we ordered at Moana Burger: - Moana Burger (single) ₩12,000 - Budweiser draft beer ₩8,000 - Moana Double Burger + fries included ₩17,000 - Soft drink ₩2,500 First off, I actually liked that the burger menu wasn't huge. When there are too many options, it's hard to decide, and it can make a place feel less focused, haha. This is clearly a handmade burger restaurant that puts its focus on the beef patty. The bun was chewy, and the patty was juicy — not just juicy, but practically dripping — the juiciness in that first bite was no joke. ![Handmade burger at Moana Burger focused on beef patty](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-10-14sp7-966.webp) ### Moana Burger, 12,000 won: why it is the signature burger Let me start with the Moana Burger I ordered — the balance was absolutely perfect. You'd be hard-pressed to find any dryness in the patty; it was properly juicy and coated in that char flavor, a truly solid choice, ![Cross-section of Moana Burger's char-flavored patty](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-11-m5scd-966.webp) and on top of that, the tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese, and sauce all balanced out any greasiness perfectly — a menu item that really shows why it's the signature. ![Moana Burger with tomato, lettuce, onion, and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-12-uoqvj-966.webp) Put on the sanitary gloves they give you and press down while eating — even tastier, hahaha. This is a can't-fail menu item, so make sure to order it. ![Eating Moana Burger pressed down with a sanitary glove](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-13-xv83d-966.webp) ![Cross-section of a bitten Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-14-hyycb-966.webp) ### Moana Double Burger, 17,000 won: fries included, built for meat lovers My husband had the Moana Double Burger, ₩17,000 with fries included — recommended for meat lovers. If you're a person who says 'forget the veggies, I want the meat,' this is the perfect menu item. The price already includes fries, just so you know! The fries were fried up nice and crisp, thick-cut with great texture! The seasoning was salty and delicious~ ![Moana Double Burger served with fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-15-10tjd-966.webp) ![Thick-cut fries fried up crisp at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-16-19ai0-966.webp) Two thick patties are packed in, so it's double the juiciness and double the heartiness. ![Moana Double Burger with two beef patties](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-17-1s4yp-966.webp) ![Moana Double Burger enjoyed with draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch/gangneung-chodang-moana-double-burger-lunch-18-1g554-966.webp) And add a cold draft beer on top of that, and this place is basically paradise on earth!! Hahaha. Cold beer with lunch made the vacation even more fun, haha. ## Is Moana Burger worth it for lunch in Chodang-dong? If you thought sundubu (soft tofu stew) was the only lunch option in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, think again! Haha.
