Yongridan-gil tteokbokki restaurant on a Saturday night: Hyeonseonine

Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch is an instant tteokbokki (spicy rice cake stew cooked at the table) restaurant on Yongridan-gil in Yongsan, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from Sinyongsan Station Exit 6. Arriving at 8:30pm on a Saturday, the writer ordered the instant set for two at 11,000 won per person plus fried rice at 3,500 won, for 25,500 won total at mild spice, and the two of them only just cleared a portion that felt like three servings. For the spicy-sweet bunsik taste of a snack shop outside your old school, Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch is the answer.
