Euljiro 1-ga snack bar takeout before the dinner rush: Hyeonseoni-ne

In short

Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch is a gimbap and tteokbokki snack bar one minute on foot from Exit 3 of Euljiro 1-ga Station, beside Cheonggyecheon in Jung-gu, Seoul. Arriving before the dinner rush, the writer watched gimbap being rolled in the open kitchen and took away the Hyeonseon combo set, with the fritters fried a second time before packing and a fish cake broth with a fish cake skewer added in. For gimbap, tteokbokki, sundae and fritters in one bag, the Hyeonseoni-ne combo set takeout is the answer.

Gimbap rolled by hand before the dinner rush

I visited before the real dinner rush hit, and they were rolling gimbap (seaweed rice roll) ~ the hand movements are super fast, and the gimbap comes in nice bite-sized pieces that taste great too lol

They cut it into these easy-to-eat pieces and pack it into containers for sale ^_^

There's also a draft beer machine, so pairing beer with tteokbokki, sundae (Korean blood sausage) and fritters is an insane combo ~

They're also making fish cake broth, and it's super clean and tasty ^^ A refreshing seafood broth, good stuff ~!

The open kitchen and picking a spice level

Since it's an open kitchen you can watch them cook, and the kitchen was super clean ~ tteokbokki comes in spicy, mild, and medium, so keep that in mind ^^

The sundae is chapssal sundae (glutinous rice blood sausage) and they have organ meat too, so they'll mix it in if you want ^^

I'd asked for the sundae mixed with organ meat, so they packed in plenty of liver, lung and more haha. Since it's chapssal sundae, it's super chewy and delicious!

The gimbap was packed really neatly too, and since it even has fish cake inside, it's hearty and tasty ^^ They're mini gimbap but so good!

The tteokbokki has reduced down really well, right~? The sauce has soaked all the way in for a fantastic taste. The rice cakes are super chewy and the seasoning isn't harsh but still tasty ^^ If you're looking for a snack bar favorite near Euljiro and Cheonggyecheon, I highly recommend Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch!
