In short
Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch is an old-school instant tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) and snack bar in front of Exit 3 of Euljiro 1-ga Station in Jung-gu, Seoul, right next to Mega Coffee.

Today's post is my solo outing course ➿ After work I didn't feel like going straight home, so I headed to Hyeonseoni-ne 🍡, famous for tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes) in Euljiro. I've actually been to the Yongsan branch before on a date, paying with my own money, and this Cheonggye Instant Branch near Euljiro 1-ga Station has that same strong old-school feel — even as takeout, the snacks were absolutely delicious.

What comes in the takeout set for one person?
Hyeonseoni-ne packs everything up really neatly 🍽️ Honestly, if I'd come with someone I would've eaten in for sure, but today was a solo day, so I took it home as takeout to keep the flavor intact.
Wow, even the packaging alone was so neat and totally to my taste!
The instant tteokbokki
I ordered the set menu and enjoyed the full course — the generous amount of sauce on the tteokbokki was already a pass! Chewy, delicious tteokbokki, it's been a while since I had one this good.
You can eat the full-course set for ₩20,000-something, so if you want snacks near Euljiro 1-ga Station, Hyeonseoni-ne with its honey-sweet tteokbokki is a great-value course!
The tteokbokki broth was the real deal 🔥 Even the color of the sauce already looks different from the rest!
Both the rice cakes and the fish cakes were absolutely delicious ✨ And the fried snacks eaten alongside the chewy rice cakes!!!! The fried snacks include squid, kimmari (seaweed noodle rolls), sweet potato, and vegetables all mixed in, so ordering the set menu means you get to enjoy the whole tasty combo without much thought.
Mini gimbap (bite-size seaweed rice rolls)
Wow, since it's mini gimbap (seaweed rice roll) instead of regular gimbap, the combo was even more delicious!
You can see how packed with ingredients it is even though it's mini 🍚 It was so good I cleared a whole pack by myself, easily.
And of course dipping the gimbap in the tteokbokki sauce is delicious too, so I happily enjoyed it properly 🔥 Once I saw the store in person, it didn't feel like a typical tteokbokki place — it had a genuinely old-school vibe, and I really want to come back on a weekday to eat in!
Sundae (blood sausage) and fish cake broth
I love liver too, so with sundae (Korean blood sausage) included I got to eat a bit of everything — absolutely delicious.
The fish cake at the end really got me 🍢 Plenty of broth, and the fish cake itself was piping hot and delicious — I got to enjoy a full, satisfying snack spread near Euljiro 1-ga Station. If you're looking for an old-school-vibe snack spot near Cheonggyecheon and Euljiro 1-ga Station, it's Hyeonseoni-ne!
