Yongsan tteokbokki after the IPARK Mall Chiikawa store: Hyeonseonine

Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch is an instant tteokbokki (spicy rice cake stew) restaurant near Sinyongsan Station and Yongridan-gil in Yongsan, Seoul. On the way back from the Chiikawa store at IPARK Mall with a 9-year-old, the writer ordered mild instant tteokbokki for two plus ramen noodles and gimmari (fried seaweed rolls); the base set of tteokbokki, jjolmyeon noodles, egg, fish cake, vegetables, fried mandu, fried rice and fish cake broth was so generous that the extra noodles felt unnecessary. Hyeonseonine finished as a 100% will-return K-bunsik spread, fried rice and all.
