What kind of burger restaurant is Quokka Bite on Gyeongui Line Forest Park?
Quokka Bite is a handmade burger restaurant near Daeheung Station in Mapo that you come across while strolling along Gyeongui Line Forest Park. Wandering the alleys off the forest path is always fun, and today I'm writing up my visit to Quokka Bite, a well-known burger spot along the trail. It kept showing up on every Gyeongui Line Forest Park food list, so I was really looking forward to it!!!
The small, cheerful dining room we found mid-walk on the forest path
Walking along Gyeongui Line Forest Park, you'll spot Quokka Bite, the handmade burger restaurant with a cute quokka character welcoming you in.
Stepping inside, I found warm wood-tone interiors full of little Australia-themed props — it was fun just looking around.
By the window there's a cozy table facing a full glass wall, which looked great for solo visits too.
On one wall hangs a Le Cordon Bleu certificate proving the owner's skills, which only raised my expectations for the food.
The avocado burger set: did the kids actually eat it?
At Quokka Bite I ordered the avocado burger set via kiosk and upgraded the fries to large. There's also a nice custom option for dieters — swapping the bun for romaine lettuce!!
How avocado tastes with Quokka Bite's char-grilled beef patty
Ordering was simple via kiosk, and I upgraded the fries in the avocado burger set to large for a heartier meal! I also ordered Quokka Bite's signature whole shrimp burger.
When the burger actually arrived, the avocado was piled on generously — you could really feel the owner's generosity.
The smoky char of the grilled beef patty and the soft avocado filled my mouth with a heavy, satisfying combo — wow. Layered in with salty bacon, cheese, fresh romaine and tomato, everything worked together beautifully. Especially since the bun was brioche, the texture was so soft that even the kids ate it without any toughness.
What does Quokka Bite's signature whole shrimp burger taste like?
Quokka Bite's signature whole shrimp Quokka shrimp burger stood out for its patty thickness alone. The moment you bite in, the springy whole shrimp burst through — personally, this was my top pick.
Why whole shrimp makes this Quokka Bite burger worth ordering
Next up was tasting the shop's so-called signature, the whole shrimp Quokka shrimp burger, and the patty thickness alone set it apart.
The moment I bit in, the springy whole shrimp hidden inside the patty burst out — a completely different level from a frozen patty. Fried patties can easily feel greasy, but the crunchy coleslaw packed in kept the aftertaste clean. The savoriness of the shrimp and the freshness of the coleslaw balanced so well that this was personally my top pick.
