Burger shop by Gwanggyojungang Station: jumbo mozza sticks, Downtowner

I really love handmade burgers and eat them all the time. I'd had a Downtowner burger before and remembered it being seriously good, so I wanted it again and headed out for a burger run!

Where is Downtowner Gwanggyojungang Station, and what about parking?

Downtowner Gwanggyojungang Station is very close to Gwanggyojungang Station on the subway, so it's easy to get to, and parking is supported for about 1 hour. That made the meal a lot more relaxed.

Downtowner menu lineup

The Downtowner menu is fairly varied, split into Original, Classic and Chicken & Shrimp lines. The Original line has the Avocado, Double Cheese Truffle, Cream Cheese Chicken and Egg Bulgogi Smash. The Classic line has the Downtowner, Bulgogi Smash, Classic Cheese and Cheese.

The Chicken & Shrimp line had Crispy Chicken, Hot Honey Chicken and Shrimp Deluxe. Sets come with French fries by default, but you can swap them for onion fries or a salad.

Soda dispenser and pickle self-bar

There's a drink dispenser, so you can fill up as much as you like. The drinks were Fanta, Sprite and cola, and I liked that the cola was Coca-Cola. Sprite came in regular and Zero, and the Coca-Cola had a Zero version too.

The self-bar has water and two kinds of pickles, so you can pick what you like! There was a spicy pickle too, which was perfect when the food felt a bit rich. The vibe is hip, so I thought it would also work as a date spot for Gwanggyo.

The burgers I ordered: Classic Cheeseburger and Crispy Chicken

I ordered two burgers, the Classic Cheeseburger and the Crispy Chicken. Both come in a sturdy box, which makes it easy to eat a handmade burger neatly!

What are Downtowner's Jumbo Mozzarella Sticks (cheese sticks) like?

I ordered the Jumbo Mozzarella Sticks too. Cheese sticks are something I already love, so this was the thing I was most excited to try.

They fry up string-cheese-style cheese in really thick pieces, so the name "jumbo" fits. Crunchy outside and packed with cheese inside, it's a taste any cheese lover is bound to like!

There were plenty of dipping sauces to choose from, and I went with the one the staff recommended.

The outside has a slight spicy kick and is crunchy, and I felt glad I'd ordered this side.

There were knives on the service table too, so cutting things up was easy, which I liked.

Crispy Chicken Burger

The Downtowner Crispy Chicken Burger has thick fried chicken that's really tasty and crunchy, a chicken burger where you can fully enjoy the crispiness.

Classic Cheeseburger

I like beef-based burgers, so I ordered the Classic Cheeseburger. It has romaine lettuce inside for some crunch, and sliced tomato that adds a fresh touch.

Onion fries

I tried the onion fries too. They're made by frying real raw onion, so they were crunchy and tasty.

Both burgers had buns piled with lots of sesame seeds, which made them even nuttier.

You can fill your drink freely at the soda dispenser, so you can have as much as you want, which I liked. There were two pickles, the spicy version and the regular one. I'm not a big fan of very spicy food, so I liked the regular one better.

The bun itself is good in a Downtowner burger, which makes everything taste even better.

Getting to enjoy it all with drinks and pickles made it even better.
