# Euljiro tteokbokki restaurant with fried rice finish: Hyeonseoni-ne - By Dajeong (https://superchart.com/en/@evening-receipt/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Jung-gu, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a sponsored in-store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@evening-receipt/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@evening-receipt/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/index.md) ## In short Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch (현선이네 청계즉석점) is an old-school instant tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cake) restaurant a one-minute walk from Exit 3 of Euljiro 1-ga Station in Jung-gu, Seoul. Two diners ordered the instant tteokbokki for two at 22,000 won in mild spice, curly fish cake at 4,000 won and fried rice at 3,500 won, with jjolmyeon (chewy noodles) and two boiled eggs included. The rice cakes at Hyeonseoni-ne were soft and chewy and the broth so good that finishing with the fried rice is a must — great value for the price. ## Good to know - **Location**: 112 Namdaemun-ro, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Seoul (next to Mega Coffee), 1-minute walk from Euljiro 1-ga Station Exit 3 - **Hours**: Weekdays 10:40–21:00 - **Closed**: Saturdays and Sundays - **Instant tteokbokki for two**: 22,000 won (minimum order of two servings) - **Curly fish cake**: 4,000 won - **Fried rice**: 3,500 won - **Spice levels**: Mild / Medium / Spicy - **Ordering**: Order ahead at the kiosk by the entrance; if there is a wait, staff guide you before you order - **Self-serve bar**: Small plates, paper cups, water, aprons - **Price reference**: ₩10,000 ≈ $7.4 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Hi, it's Babi, back from eating some seriously good instant tteokbokki!

Inside, Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch has a bit of that old-school, bustling energy. The space isn't huge, but there are tables tucked into every corner, so we got seated sooner than expected! Since orders are taken in advance, the food arrives right after you sit down, so the turnover seemed pretty good too. ![Interior atmosphere of Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-09-1ydu9-966.webp) ![Restaurant interior filled with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-10-1vnhy-966.webp) ### How to order at the entrance kiosk The ordering kiosk is near the entrance! If you're eating in and there's a wait, staff will guide you first, and you order and wait from there. ![Order kiosk and menu screen near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-11-1uzx1-966.webp) This old-school Euljiro tteokbokki spot, Hyeonseoni-ne, has everything from basic tteokbokki, fried snacks, and sundae (blood sausage) to instant tteokbokki and alcohol like draft beer... and the prices were great too! A proper snack bar. ![Menu board listing tteokbokki, fried snacks, sundae, and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-12-d85ic-966.webp) Since they serve alcohol, we actually saw office workers from around the area coming for a team dinner haha. It seems perfect for a light team gathering rather than a big blowout dinner. (But be ready to wait a bit, haha!) ## What two people ordered, and what it cost > Today's order (2 people) > 1) Instant tteokbokki for 2: ₩22,000 > 2) Curly fish cake: ₩4,000 > 3) Fried rice: ₩3,500 ![Table setting with instant tteokbokki for two and curly fish cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-13-19wqs-966.webp) Our order arrived! Getting it as soon as we sat down was the kind of speed Koreans love haha. Hyeonseoni-ne's tteokbokki lets you choose your spice level: mild, medium, or spicy. Being a total spice wimp, I went with mild. ![Pot of instant tteokbokki ordered in mild spice](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-14-11jus-966.webp) ## Instant tteokbokki for two at 22,000 won, jjolmyeon noodles included Instant tteokbokki at Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch can only be ordered for two or more, so you have to order at least two servings. It's the kind of dish you simmer bubbling away right at your table. ![Ingredients for instant tteokbokki for two before cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-15-1f3jl-1200.webp) ![Pot of instant tteokbokki with jjolmyeon noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-16-js09f-966.webp) Usually places give you instant ramen noodles, but Hyeonseoni-ne's default is jjolmyeon noodles, so I had to stir it often while it cooked to keep them from sticking to the pot. The staff explained everything clearly when serving, so all I had to do was follow along. Once it's cooked through, all that's left is to enjoy it! ![Instant tteokbokki bubbling away on the stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-17-1e6bw-966.webp) ![Fully cooked tteokbokki rice cakes and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-18-geged-966.webp) ### How mild is the mild spice level? Wow, but the rice cakes were seriously... so soft and chewy! And the portion was pretty generous too. Since we ordered mild, it was sweet and spicy but never actually felt hot at all, so as a spice wimp I enjoyed it even more haha. My coworker was calling for medium spice, but I talked them out of it, apparently. ![Fried dumplings and rice cakes soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-19-6jgyw-966.webp) ![Pot combining fish cake, rice cake, noodles, and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-20-17r2k-966.webp) ![Two boiled eggs on top of the instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-21-1jae1-966.webp) ### Toppings, plus two boiled eggs The yaki-mandu (pan-fried dumplings) were soaked through with tteokbokki broth and soft, but the edges of the dumpling skin still had a bit of crispness left, so they were really delicious. Fish cake, rice cake, jjolmyeon noodles, dumplings, boiled eggs, and all kinds of vegetables — the toppings were really varied. And since it was a serving for two, they gave us two whole boiled eggs! Such generous portions, honestly. This is a bit of a tangent, but these days when you go to a naengmyeon (cold noodle) place, a bowl is already over ₩10,000, and they usually give you half an egg, which I always grumble about — so getting one whole egg per person here was really touching. You know how with a soup dish like instant tteokbokki, you're supposed to mash the yolk and mix it into the broth, then scoop it up in one spoonful, right?.. Eating it that way is truly the best. ![Curly fish cake served with a ladle](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-22-1yizc-966.webp) ## Curly fish cake side for 4,000 won This is the curly fish cake we ordered as a side. They also have plain long fish cake, but I like the curly kind, so I went with this. It came with a ladle for easy sharing, and small plates, paper cups, water, and aprons are all available to grab yourself from the self-serve bar. The fish cake broth was really tasty and had a refreshing quality to it. So it was great to enjoy it between bites of tteokbokki with a satisfied "ahh-!" and "kuh!!" ![A bowl of curly fish cake broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-23-1kbt3-966.webp) ![Fried rice made in the leftover tteokbokki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice/euljiro-hyunseonine-tteokbokki-fried-rice-24-iph25-966.webp) ## Finishing with fried rice for 3,500 won The reason we ordered instant tteokbokki in the first place — to eat the fried rice at the end..! We were already full from the generous portions, but the broth tasted so good I couldn't give up on it. We asked them to cook fried rice with the tteokbokki still left in the pot, and they took the whole pot away to fry it up, then served the rest in a separate bowl. It's a flavor you'll regret missing, so make sure to try the fried rice too. ## Final verdict on Hyeonseoni-ne I visited Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch, an old-school tteokbokki spot right by Euljiro 1-ga Station. Even though I'm not usually a big tteokbokki fan, I ate so happily that it surprised me! The sauce was delicious and the toppings were generous. Being able to eat this filling a meal for this kind of price was really great. The staff were all kind too, so it made for a genuinely pleasant meal.
