# Yongsan tteokbokki restaurant with fried-flake topping: Hyeonseonine - By Woojin Ra (https://superchart.com/en/@jangsa-tin-spoon/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yongsan, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@jangsa-tin-spoon/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@jangsa-tin-spoon/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/index.md) ## In short Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch is a tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) restaurant in Yongsan, Seoul, started as a street cart in 2004 and now running 8 directly operated branches. A Sunday visit around 7pm meant a wait, and the 26,000 won Hyeonseonine Combo for three brought tteokbokki, gimbap (seaweed rice rolls), tuna mayo, sundae (blood sausage) and 3 skewers of long Busan-style fish cake, with fried flakes sprinkled over the tteokbokki as the best bite of the table. Soft wheat rice cakes in a sauce that is spicy and sweet at once make Hyeonseonine a place worth coming back to. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2-13 Hangang-daero 39-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–24:00 - **Order**: Hyeonseonine Combo for three, 26,000 won (tteokbokki + gimbap + tuna mayo + sundae + 3 skewers of long Busan-style fish cake) - **Spice level**: Tteokbokki spice level is your choice - **Visit time**: Sunday around 7pm, with a wait - **Review perk**: Slushie or a tteokbokki size-up for a Naver review - **Size of the business**: Started as a street cart in 2004, now 8 directly operated branches - **Price reference**: ₩26,000 ≈ $18.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* Today I went to Hyeonseonine, a tteokbokki spot in Yongsan that I love so much I've been back more times than I can count. I'm the type who chases down tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) wherever I go, and Hyeonseonine is one of my absolute favorites — the kind of place I end up craving out of nowhere haha. Between the sweet-spicy tteokbokki, the crispy fritters, and that classic bunsik (Korean street-food snack) vibe, I always swing by whenever I'm in Yongsan 🤭 So today I'm putting together an honest review based on everything I've noticed across my many visits — the menu, the flavors, all of it! ![Exterior of Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-01-1p72l-900.webp) ## Where Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch is and when it opens > 2-13 Hangang-daero 39-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul / Daily 11:00–24:00 Hyeonseonine started out as a street food cart in 2004 and now runs 8 directly-operated branches as a well-loved tteokbokki restaurant. ![Entrance signage at Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-02-11dfv-900.webp) ## How long is the wait at 7pm on a Sunday? I went around 7pm on a Sunday and there was a bit of a wait!! If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend avoiding typical mealtimes haha. ![Spacious dining hall seating at Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-03-fpzdz-900.webp) ![Interior with well-spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-04-1uccm-900.webp) The interior was bigger and roomier than I expected, which I liked! You'd think a tteokbokki place would be small and cozy, but Hyeonseonine has plenty of space, so it works fine for group visits too haha. ![Overall view of the Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-05-14m7o-900.webp) ![Seating and wall decor at Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-06-118en-900.webp) ## Hyeonseonine menu and prices Hyeonseonine's menu is broadly split into regular tteokbokki and jeuk-seok (instant-style) tteokbokki. ![Menu board split into regular and instant-style tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-07-11mxz-900.webp) The prices are really reasonable for the portion size too 👍🏻 Given how prices have gone up these days, getting this much food and this composition for the price felt like solid value 🤭 ## What comes in the 26,000 won Hyeonseonine Combo for three What I ordered this time was the Hyeonseonine Combo — ![Full spread of the Hyeonseonine Combo set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-08-16gya-900.webp) ![Tteokbokki, gimbap, and sundae arranged together in the combo set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-09-pvlst-900.webp) Tteokbokki (spice level adjustable) + gimbap + tuna mayo + sundae (Korean blood sausage) + 3 skewers of long Busan-style fish cake, all for ₩26,000, serving 3. Having been loved for this long, Hyeonseonine clearly has its own distinct charm! ![Fried batter flakes sprinkled onto the tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-10-148vq-900.webp) ### Fried flakes sprinkled over the tteokbokki The hidden weapon at Hyeonseonine, as far as I'm concerned, is the fried batter flakes 🤭 Sprinkle them over the tteokbokki and you get this crunchy texture plus a nutty flavor that comes alive — it's an absolutely perfect match with the tteokbokki! Try it once and you'll understand immediately why I call it a hidden weapon 😆 ![Glossy wheat tteokbokki from Hyeonseonine](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-11-1swxc-1200.webp) *Shiny and glossy* The rice cakes here are soft, chewy wheat tteok!! And the sauce isn't just aggressively spicy — it comes with a sweetness woven in too, so if you're a tteokbokki lover, you'll find yourself craving it periodically, just like me. ![Close-up of wheat tteokbokki in sweet-spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-12-1hbte-900.webp) ### Three skewers of squiggly Busan-style fish cake There were 3 pieces of squiggly fish cake included 🍢 You can't have tteokbokki without fish cake, right haha. It's twisted into a curly shape so it looks cute, and dipping it deep into the tteokbokki sauce lets the spicy-sweet broth soak in, making it even tastier 🤭 ![Skewer of long Busan-style squiggly fish cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-13-1rf3j-900.webp) ![Squiggly fish cake dipped in tteokbokki sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-14-ipsxw-900.webp) ### Mini gimbap and sundae in the combo The mini gimbap (seaweed rice roll) was also great to eat alongside the tteokbokki. It's a cute bite-sized portion, perfect for dipping right into the tteokbokki sauce haha. ![Bite-sized mini gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-15-1vi1t-900.webp) And the glossy, shiny sundae can't be skipped either 🤭 The chewy, springy sundae is delicious on its own, but it really shines when dipped deep into the tteokbokki sauce. ![A plate of springy, chewy sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo-16-z0nom-900.webp) ## Naver review perk and is Hyeonseonine worth it? Also, apparently if you write a Naver review, you get a refreshing slushie or a size-up on your tteokbokki. Getting a perk on top of already-delicious tteokbokki made the whole experience feel even more worthwhile haha. The spicy-sweet tteokbokki, made even better with the crispy fried flakes, has that keep-coming-back flavor, so I think anyone who loves tteokbokki will be satisfied haha. Beyond the tteokbokki itself, you get to enjoy squiggly fish cake, sundae, and fritters together, and the Hyeonseonine Combo at ₩26,000 for 3 servings is pretty generous in both portion and composition, making it a great choice for group visits too. ## Where it is - Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch (현선이네 용산본점) - 2-13 Hangang-daero 39-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 용산구 한강대로39길 2-13 - 37.5311551, 126.9692251 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%84%EC%84%A0%EC%9D%B4%EB%84%A4%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%82%B0%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5311551,126.9692251,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jangsa-tin-spoon/hyunseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-combo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
