I tried tteokbokki with only chewy rice cakes, a generous ₩10,000 pork cutlet, and the mashed potato served only for dine-in. Verdict: a must-try for rice-cake tteokbokki fans. ## Good to know - **Location**: L1, 62 Seocho-daero 77-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea; 118 m from Exit 7 of Sinnonhyeon Station - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–20:30 - **Break time**: 14:30–16:00 - **Tteokbokki serving**: 4 thick garaetteok rice cakes and 2 long fish cakes per serving - **Pork cutlet**: ₩10,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* Deokjane Bangatgan has long been an old standby for Korean snacks near Sinnonhyeon Station. I first went around 15 years ago, haha. The shop was so tiny then that it was hard even to get a seat for tteokbokki. It was already famous as a great spot back then, then it appeared on TV and has continued expanding ever since. ![Exterior of Deokjane Bangatgan near Sinnonhyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-01-cppis-900.webp) ## Deokjane Bangatgan location and hours > Deokjane Bangatgan - Location: L1, 62 Seocho-daero 77-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 118 m from Exit 7 of Sinnonhyeon Station (it is close if you come out behind Kyobo Book Centre) - Hours: Daily 11:00–20:30 (break time 14:30–16:00) - Highlight: A great spot for chewy, plump garaetteok rice cakes ![Deokjane Bangatgan location and business information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-02-1eqk1-900.webp) ## Thick garaetteok rice-cake tteokbokki Just like the name Deokjane Bangatgan, meaning Deokja's mill, this place's signature is its thick garaetteok (long cylindrical rice cake) tteokbokki. The soft, chewy rice cakes taste as though they have just come straight from a rice mill. I normally prefer wheat-flour rice cakes, but Deokjane Bangatgan's ones truly taste like garaetteok from a rice-cake shop, so they were delicious even though they are rice cakes. ![Thick garaetteok rice-cake tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-03-ygmx0-900.webp) ![Garaetteok tteokbokki from Deokjane Bangatgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-04-1rj47-900.webp) ## Tteokbokki, gimbap, and set menus Tteokbokki is the signature menu item. You can also order the long, plump fish cakes on their own. So many gimbap places have closed lately that it is hard to find gimbap near Sinnonhyeon Station, but I like Deokjane Bangatgan's gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) because the prices are reasonable and there is a good variety of choices. There are also set menus with tteokbokki and gimbap together, perfect when you visit with a group. ![Tteokbokki and gimbap menu at Deokjane Bangatgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-05-rxego-1200.webp) ## Tteokbokki ordered with rice cakes only On this visit, I ordered the pork cutlet at Deokjane Bangatgan for the first time. And of course I ordered the Deokjane Bangatgan tteokbokki that you simply have to get. A regular serving comes with four thick garaetteok and two long fish cakes, but this time I asked them to leave out the fish cakes and give me only rice cakes. ![Tteokbokki served with only rice cakes and no fish cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-06-1yzrv-900.webp) ## Mashed potato only for dining in When you eat tteokbokki inside the shop, they put a scoop of mashed potato on top. It is soft and sweet, almost like ice cream, and it goes perfectly with the spicy tteokbokki sauce, haha. The mashed potato is left out for takeout, thoughㅠㅠ, so it is a special item you can taste only when dining in. ![Tteokbokki topped with mashed potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-07-1st1n-900.webp) The seasoning is spicy and sweet, with some minced garlic that gives it a sharp garlicky note. When it gets spicy, calming it down with mashed potato is just the perfect match, haha. ![Spicy-sweet garlic-seasoned tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-08-1d0zs-900.webp) ![Mashed potato with garaetteok tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-09-13s83-900.webp) ### A satisfying four garaetteok rice cakes A normal serving of tteokbokki has four lengths of rice cake and two lengths of fish cake. At first I thought, “Only four pieces of rice cake?ㅠㅠ” But these rice cakes are seriously plump and huge!!! If divided into regular-sized rice cakes, they would make about five pieces. Once you start eating, they are really filling and satisfying. ![One serving of plump garaetteok tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-10-1n70d-900.webp) ## ₩10,000 snack-bar-style pork cutlet Deokjane Bangatgan's pork cutlet is ₩10,000. It comes snack-bar style with a generous salad, corn, and baked beans. The cutlet itself is really large too, and it arrives with the sauce poured over it. ![Snack-bar-style pork cutlet with salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-11-1c1i8-900.webp) It is generous for ₩10,000, so the value is really good. That said, it uses ground meat like a typical snack-bar pork cutlet, so the taste is that of an ordinary snack-bar-style cutlet, haha. ![A plate of pork cutlet from Deokjane Bangatgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-12-1vxbp-900.webp) Every order also comes with a generous bowl of broth that is so good you just keep drinking it, haha. No wonder it is famous near Sinnonhyeon Station. ![Broth served with tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane-13-5n9e8-900.webp) ## A Sinnonhyeon snack spot for when you are hungry The dishes are kept hygienically clean, and you can comfortably help yourself to sauce and danmuji (pickled radish). The shop is spacious and turnover is quick, making it a great place to go anytime you are hungry. Deokjane Bangatgan started as a small tteokbokki shop near Sinnonhyeon and has steadily grown into a larger, always-popular spot. Stop by if you are in the area. I especially recommend it to fellow rice-cake tteokbokki fans. ## Where it is - Deokjane Bangatgan (덕자네방앗간) - L1, 62 Seocho-daero 77-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 서초구 서초대로77길 62 L1층) - 서울특별시 서초구 서초대로77길 62 L1층 - 37.5027501, 127.0240599 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%95%EC%9E%90%EB%84%A4%EB%B0%A9%EC%95%97%EA%B0%84/@37.5027501,127.0240599,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@neighborhood-mealtimes/sinnonhyeon-tteokbokki-donkatsu-deokjane/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
