For September, Jju’s travel diary will be mostly about Gangneung accommodations, restaurants, and attractions. ![Moana Burger during a Gangneung trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-04-1l5qi-966.webp) ![Moana Burger during a Gangneung trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-05-7rvgi-966.webp) Today is the first story from my Gangneung trip! Let me introduce Moana Burger, one of the restaurants on my must-visit list before the trip. ## Is Moana Burger pet-friendly? ![Moana Burger pet-friendly notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-06-wpz76-966.webp) ![Yeoreum, Moana Burger’s resident dog](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-07-yqk30-966.webp) 🍯Jju’s little travel-diary tip🍯 Moana Burger in Gangneung welcomes pets, so I especially recommend it to anyone looking for a dog-friendly restaurant🐶 They have a sweet resident golden retriever named Yeoreum, so anyone who loves pups like I do will be extra happy. ## Moana Burger menu ![Moana Burger menu and price information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-08-poinh-966.webp) There are three burger choices—Moana, Hawaiian, and Double Moana—and they are all priced as sets that include fries🍔🍟 For sides, there are buffalo wings and fries, plus house-made ranch dip and chili beans, so choose whatever suits your taste. ## The handmade burgers and chili beans I tried ![Order at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-09-2g75s-966.webp) I ordered the Moana Burger, Hawaiian Burger, ranch sauce, chili beans, and two soft drinks—just like this. ![Moana Burger and Hawaiian Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-10-10vn3-966.webp) ![Handmade burger order](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-11-1q7qz-966.webp) First, let me leave a review of the handmade burgers. The key points were the warm, buttery and savory buns and patties full of juices! Fresh, crisp vegetables also popped up in every few bites, so they brought a fresh feel all at once. ![Moana Burger with romaine and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-12-10kyd-966.webp) *Moana Burger* The Moana Burger comes with romaine, red onion, tomato, cheese, and Moana Special Sauce! It has that classic handmade-burger style: rich and indulgent, with vegetables that work beautifully between bites. ![Hawaiian Burger with pineapple](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-13-154y7-966.webp) *Hawaiian Burger🍍* The Hawaiian Burger comes with pineapple, bacon, romaine, cheese, Moana teriyaki sauce, and ranch sauce! The sweet pineapple came through now and then between the juicy handmade patty and savory bun, and it was so tasty. ![Handmade burger and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-14-xr3qa-966.webp) ![Fries with ranch sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-15-1g9ak-966.webp) The fries that come with the burgers were warm, crisp, and nicely salty, making them great alongside the handmade burgers. I added the house-made ranch sauce and tried them together—it was tangy and deeply savory, a truly delicious ranch sauce unlike any I’d had before. It was incomparably better than store-bought ranch sauce. ![Chili beans with meat and beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-16-a6zlw-966.webp) *Chili beans* Chili bean sauce made by the owner of Moana Burger, a Gangneung favorite! This, this is something you absolutely have to order. It’s a spicy sauce made with meat and beans; it is delicious with fries, and it is wonderfully spicy with a burger too. ![Flower pin provided with a burger order](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-17-1ut32-966.webp) When you order a burger, they also give you a flower pin. It is an accessory that suits the sea, and it was such a perfect fashion item for Moana Burger that it made me happy. ![Burger with a soft drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-18-1mbzs-966.webp) Have it with a cold soft drink and the refreshing feeling is a bonus! I found such a delicious handmade-burger spot that I would definitely want to stop by again whenever I visit Gangneung. ## Moana Burger’s atmosphere and amenities Let me also introduce the atmosphere at Moana Burger, where the kind owner welcomes you. ![Spacious interior of Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-19-1sbk2-966.webp) ![Open kitchen at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-20-19wyc-966.webp) ![Two-person and four-person tables at Moana Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean/gangneung-moana-burger-chili-bean-21-159yv-966.webp) With its open kitchen and spacious dining room, it felt airy rather than cramped.
