Yeouido tteokbokki restaurant takeaway for three: Hyeonseonine

Hyeonseonine Tteokbokki, where I used to queue up to eat in Yongsan, has newly opened in Yeouido too, so I was curious and tried taking it home myself.

How to find Hyeonseonine at IFC Mall from Yeouido Station

On my way home today, I suddenly wanted instant tteokbokki so badly. I searched right away and found that Hyeonseonine Tteokbokki, which I had eaten in Yongsan, had newly opened at Yeouido IFC Mall too?! It was right on my route, and I was curious, so I decided to get takeaway immediately!

I went by subway. Get off at Yeouido Station and head toward Exit 3; you will see a moving walkway connecting to IFC Mall. Ride it and keep going straight to reach IFC Mall easily~

Keep walking straight and you will come to Starbucks. Walk a little farther, and Hyeonseonine Tteokbokki pops up right between Olens and GS25!

Indoor and outdoor tables, plus kiosk ordering

The restaurant has not only an indoor dining area but also spacious outdoor tables. The tables are generously spaced too, so it looked like a comfortable place to eat!

Cups, water, utensils, side plates, danmuji (pickled yellow radish), and more are set up on one side of the restaurant, so just help yourself to what you need~

You order at the kiosk~ There are so many kinds of extra toppings, so it is easy to add whatever suits your taste!!

Memories of eating it so deliciously in Yongsan~~

They are running a review event too, so be sure to leave a review and get a tasty side dish!

The country-of-origin information is also carefully displayed on one side. Being able to check details like this made me feel a little more at ease about eating here~

What came in the two-serving instant tteokbokki takeaway set

I ordered instant tteokbokki for two (₩22,000) plus one can of cola (₩2,000)! The takeaway set was pretty generous too. It included seasoning sauce and spicy chili powder, fish cake pouches and broth, cabbage and green onion, wheat rice cakes and fish cakes, four yaki mandu (fried dumplings), two eggs, and one pack of ramen noodles. Quite a packed set for two servings, right?!

They also include a sheet with cooking instructions, so it is easy to make at home!

Once the rice cakes puff up, lower the heat and simmer for two more minutes.

How the medium-spicy version tasted at home

Ta-da~~ Doesn’t it look so delicious? I chose the medium level out of mild, medium, and spicy. I cannot even handle the beginner level at Yeopgi Tteokbokki very well, but Hyeonseonine Tteokbokki’s medium spice was just deliciously spicy for me!

The eggs were jumbo-sized, so they were quite large, and the yaki mandu were generously filled too~ More than anything, the broth was nicely reduced, the rice cakes were chewy, and the seasoning had soaked into them well, so it was so good.

I also liked the fish cakes. At places that use cheap fish cakes, you can sometimes really notice that distinctive floury dryness or smell, but these fish cakes themselves had a chewy, bouncy texture, which was great.

Another thing I liked was how generous the portion was! I took away a two-serving set, but after actually eating it, it felt like enough to fill up three people~ Like me, if you want to enjoy instant tteokbokki comfortably at home, this seems like a good one to take home and cook.

I was happy to be able to have Hyeonseonine Tteokbokki, which I had eaten in Yongsan, in Yeouido too, and I was satisfied overall with the chewy rice cakes, nicely reduced seasoning, and generous basic set. Especially if you are looking for lunch or a quick meal at Yeouido IFC Mall, I would recommend stopping by at least once!
