# Yongsan tteokbokki with jjolmyeon and photo-review slushie - By Yerin Baum (https://superchart.com/en/@mapo-supper-list/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yongsan, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@mapo-supper-list/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@mapo-supper-list/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/index.md) ## In short Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch is an instant tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cake) restaurant in Yongsan, Seoul, 180m from Sinyongsan Station Exit 6, and a spot the writer has frequented for over 5 years since its food-cart days. This visit ordered a medium-spice instant tteokbokki for two plus fried rice, with yakimandu (fried dumplings) for dipping, self-serve batter flakes, and fish cake broth on the side. The medium spice is only slightly hotter than Shin Ramyun, comes loaded with jjolmyeon (chewy noodles), and leaving a Naver photo review earns a free slushie or tteokbokki size-up. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2-13 Hangang-daero 39-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (180m from Sinyongsan Station Exit 6) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–24:00 (last order 22:40) - **Parking**: No on-site parking; use Bareum Planning Parking Lot (paid) - **Order**: Hyeonseonine instant tteokbokki for two (medium spice), fried rice - **Spice level**: Medium spice is slightly hotter than Shin Ramyun - **Self-serve bar**: Unlimited fried batter flakes, pickled radish, etc. - **Convenience**: Good for groups, has a kids' chair, spice level adjustable - **Perk**: Leave a Naver Place photo review for a free slushie or tteokbokki size-up *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I'm writing a review of Hyeonseonine, the Yongsan tteokbokki spot I've been going to for over 5 years! I was a devoted regular back when it was still a food cart, so the taste is guaranteed. Even writing this post right now, I'm craving it so bad. ## What kind of place is Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch ![Exterior of Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-01-v3ut5-1200.webp) If you go to Yongsan often, there's no way you don't know Hyeonseonine tteokbokki. Back in its food-cart days, the prices were really cheap too. It was the perfect second-round spot after drinking! They also sell alcohol, so more people than you'd think come in for a daytime beer! This time I had tickets booked for a movie called Odyssey afterward, so I boldly skipped the drinks. Next time I'll definitely eat with a drink in hand! ## Location, hours, and parking - 📌 Location | 2-13 Hangang-daero 39-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (180m from Sinyongsan Station Exit 6) - ⏰ Hours | Mon–Sun 11:00–24:00 (last order 22:40) - 🚘 Parking | No parking on-site; you'll need to use Bareum Planning Parking Lot (paid) - ❗️Tip | Good for groups, kids' chairs available ## Spacious inside, and there's even a baby chair ![Spacious interior seating at Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-02-140qf-966.webp) ![Tables and interior view of Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-03-156ju-966.webp) The inside is bigger than you'd expect, so it's great for group gatherings. And there's a baby chair ready too. You can adjust the spice level, so it's really nice to visit with kids who can eat tteokbokki. A lot of people come in groups at lunchtime. ## Ordering instant tteokbokki for two and fried rice ![Table set with the basic instant tteokbokki for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-04-1jskq-966.webp) We ordered Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki for two, plus fried rice. They set everything up right after we ordered, which saved time and was great. ![Plate of yakimandu served separately](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-05-hkol2-966.webp) ![Side dishes served alongside the instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-06-q82c5-966.webp) They thoughtfully served the yakimandu (fried dumplings) separately. Personally I think they taste amazing when you dip them. ![Bowl of fish cake broth topped with fried batter flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-07-qr59r-966.webp) Sprinkling fried batter flakes into the fish cake broth like this is the best! The batter flakes and pickled radish are unlimited refill at the self-serve bar, so enjoy as much as you want. ![Self-serve fried batter flakes and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-08-189q3-966.webp) ## How spicy is the medium spice level The delicious instant tteokbokki starts bubbling away. It's a tteokbokki with a shallow, concentrated broth, and we ordered the medium spice level, which is the most popular. Medium spice is just a bit hotter than Shin Ramyun, for reference :) My partner and I, both weak to spice, found it a little hot, but it's the kind of spiciness that makes you feel good while eating. ![Medium-spice instant tteokbokki starting to boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-09-7tbiq-966.webp) ![Pot of instant tteokbokki with shallow, concentrated broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-10-yk0as-966.webp) ## Heat-control tips for the best instant tteokbokki - Turn the heat down from level 9 to level 4 once it's boiling, then switch to the warm setting when you're eating - For the fried rice, stir-fry vigorously on level 3, then lower it to the warm setting Instant tteokbokki and fried rice burn quickly, so just stir well and you're fine! Also, if you leave a Naver photo review on Naver Place, you can get a cool slushie or a tteokbokki size-up! Make sure to leave a review and grab the perk. ![Adjusting the induction heat while cooking the tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-11-133yu-966.webp) ![Finished medium-spice instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-12-avtqk-966.webp) ## Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki, loaded with jjolmyeon Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki has so much jjolmyeon (chewy noodles) in it, which I love! I'm normally a ramyeon-noodle person, but sometimes I crave those chewy jjolmyeon noodles. Personally I think jjolmyeon is essential for instant tteokbokki. ![Instant tteokbokki loaded with jjolmyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-13-1lbri-966.webp) ![Chopsticks lifting up jjolmyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-14-1svrf-966.webp) ![Pot with chewy rice cake and jjolmyeon mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-15-f1407-966.webp) ![Instant tteokbokki with egg added in](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-16-1uofk-966.webp) There's even chewy rice cake and egg in there. A perfect protein boost too. ![Rice cake and egg lifted out of the instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-17-1v6be-966.webp) A cool, spicy broth — one sip and you feel like it cures a hangover. ![Spicy, cool broth of the instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-18-mujue-966.webp) The yakimandu tastes even better dipped. Great that they gave a whopping 4 pieces. ![Yakimandu dipped into the tteokbokki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-19-5zrj4-966.webp) ![Fried rice stir-fried to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon-20-1h9d1-966.webp) ## Finishing with fried rice Of course, as Koreans, we finish with fried rice! Stir-frying the fried rice properly to the end made it feel like a truly complete meal, and I was happy. Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki, which I've visited regularly for over 5 years now! If you're looking for a great tteokbokki spot in Yongsan, definitely visit Hyeonseonine. ## 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/@mapo-supper-list/hyeonseonine-yongsan-tteokbokki-jjolmyeon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
