Gongdeok burger date with honey ranch sweet potato fries: Quokka Bite

Quokka Bite is a handmade burger spot near Gongdeok and Daeheung Stations in Mapo. I visited through a great opportunity as part of a sponsored campaign, and honestly I devoured it the second I took a bite..💗 This place is a genuine hidden gem..👍 (for real...)

My boyfriend, who came with me, was so satisfied he basically declared that if he's ever craving a handmade burger near Gongdeok or Daeheung again, he's coming back here on his own dime, no question. From the 'Grilled Quokka Double' bursting with charcoal-grilled smokiness and juice, to the 'Whole Shrimp Quokka Shrimp Burger' packed with actual whole shrimp, to the insanely sweet-and-salty 'sweet potato fries' — here's a careful rundown of the menu and prices.

Quokka Bite at a glance

• The overwhelming heft of a patty that stays juicy while carrying real charcoal-grilled flavor
• Not just minced shrimp — the 'Whole Shrimp Quokka Shrimp Burger' is packed with plump, whole shrimp you can actually bite into

Quokkas everywhere 🐾

Grilled Quokka Double (₩13,900)

The moment you pick up the burger, a huge char-grilled charcoal aroma hits you! Two char-grilled beef patties loaded with smoky flavor come layered with melted cheddar, caramelized onion, and salty bacon..🍔

Take a big bite and the outside is browned crisp from the intense heat, while the inside stays pink and juicy, bursting with beef juices 😭 The savoriness of the meat combined with that smoky flavor was so good I found myself marveling at every single bite! Please... you have to try the grilled burger (I mean this with my whole heart)

Whole Shrimp Quokka Shrimp Burger (set, ₩15,900)

This shrimp burger is also seriously the real deal! Don't think of the usual minced shrimp patty you find at other handmade burger shops. This isn't some fake minced filler — it's packed full of actual plump, whole shrimp.

Every bite bursts with big, whole shrimp that pop crisply in your mouth, and combined with the tangy, refreshing coleslaw, dill pickle, and Quokka Bite's special sauce, it all comes together for a clean, mellow, top-tier whole-shrimp burger experience 🦐

Honey ranch sweet potato fries (₩6,300)

If you come to Quokka Bite, you absolutely must add these sweet potato fries!! Freshly fried sweet potato sticks, crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, drizzled generously with sweet honey and a savory, slightly zesty ranch sauce. I love this honey-ranch combo, but it's a shame not many places serve it... Quokka Bite has it, so please try it, I mean it..

After writing this review, I even got a cute fan as a gift 🐾💗
