# Yeouido IFC Mall tteokbokki set with two veggie fritters: Hyeonseonine - By Woojin Cheon (https://superchart.com/en/@seochang-narrow-grill/) - Written Sep 16, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yeongdeungpo, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seochang-narrow-grill/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seochang-narrow-grill/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/index.md) ## In short Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch is a tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) and fritter snack restaurant on basement level 2 of IFC Mall by Yeouido Station in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. A couple arrived at 7:30pm and ordered the most basic Hyeonseonine Set, which arrived with tteokbokki, gimbap (seaweed rice roll), squid fritter and two vegetable fritters — enough food that the two of them could barely breathe by the end. Coolpis costs 1,500 won and comes in a big cup, and the self-serve bar refills pickled radish for free, making the evening feel like a night at an old street cart. ## Good to know - **Location**: Basement level 2, IFC Mall, 10 Gukjegeumyung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul - **Ordered**: The most basic Hyeonseonine Set (tteokbokki + gimbap + fritters) - **Coolpis**: 1,500 won, served in a large cup - **Self-serve bar**: Unlimited pickled radish, plus soy sauce and salt - **Portion size**: More than enough for two; could feed three - **Price reference**: ₩1,500 ≈ $1.1 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Visiting Hyeonseonine Premium at Yeouido IFC Mall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-01-nefgq-900.webp) ## Hyeonseonine on basement level 2 of Yeouido IFC Mall at 7:30pm Was it a Friday evening or a Thursday? Anyway, well past quitting time, around 7:30pm, my husband and I went out to tour tteokbokki spots near home. ![Cool autumn evening street scene in Yeouido](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-02-1x7bs-900.webp) The cool autumn breeze had me in such a good mood lately. Ahh~~ on a fine fall day like this, it's got to be tteokbokki haha. ![Hyeonseonine seen from the underground passage of IFC Mall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-03-h8j3z-900.webp) We were shopping at THE Hyundai when a Danggeun Market buyer said they were already at Yeouido Station, so we hopped on the moving walkway and got there in eight minutes — and that's when I spotted Hyeonseonine on the way!! ![Entrance of Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-04-1xk2t-900.webp) Decided today we'd try the tteokbokki at Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch. Done deal! ![Table inside Hyeonseonine Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-05-14eg4-900.webp) ## What comes in the Hyeonseonine Set, and is it too much for two? We ordered the most basic option, the Hyeonseonine Set. ![Full spread of the Hyeonseonine Set with tteokbokki and gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-06-h588y-900.webp) It even came with gimbap (seaweed rice roll)!!! Eating just the end pieces alone felt filling. I had one piece and my husband finished the rest, but by the end we were both so stuffed we could barely breathe. This set could probably feed three women. The gimbap had several different fillings, so the first bite tasted nutty and clean. Since the tteokbokki is spicy, taking a bite of gimbap in between resets your palate and you just keep eating. Personally, I recommend the tteokbokki-and-gimbap combo! ![Assorted fritter plate included with the Hyeonseonine Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-07-15xmu-1200.webp) ## The fritter plate: squid plus two vegetable fritters Can't skip the fritters! Crispy outside, moist inside — the texture was especially good eaten fresh. They're tasty plain, but dipping them deep into the tteokbokki sauce is the best way to eat them haha. Crispy fritter plus sweet-spicy sauce takes the savoriness way up. The fritters were so good... and the squid fritter tasted exactly like the street-cart version we all know!!! What I loved most was the vegetable fritter — something that takes a ton of effort if I tried making it myself. And there were two of them. My mom used to make vegetable fritters for us all the time when I was a kid, and back then I wondered why she only made fritters out of boring vegetables... Now that I have two sons of my own, I understand what a huge act of love that was. Making even one vegetable fritter means making batter and thinly slicing all the vegetables — it's genuinely labor-intensive food. ![Fritter dipped in tteokbokki sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-08-17ga5-900.webp) Why bother going to a street cart when you can get the same thing at a restaurant... As a kid I used to go all the way to the street cart in front of Hongdae Exit 8 just to taste this. ![Close-up of Hyeonseonine Premium's tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-09-9g1ks-900.webp) ## How spicy is Hyeonseonine's tteokbokki? Even the mild level has a kick The tteokbokki was genuinely delicious. I was talking with a friend who says she's tried every tteokbokki spot in Yeouido, and when Hyeonseonine came up, she said "ah~~ that place is good," and I thought, wait, a tteokbokki nerd like me didn't even know this place existed in Yeouido?? 🥹 ![Chewy rice cakes coated in tteokbokki sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-10-6pgeo-900.webp) First off, the rice cakes were nice and chewy, great to bite into. The sauce was spicy with an underlying sweetness — it comes in gently at first, but as you keep eating, the spiciness creeps up! So even though we ordered the mild flavor, it's not exactly not-spicy. It's more of a "whoa, that's spicy" feeling, with your tongue stinging just a little. The broth (?) soaked nicely into the rice cakes too, so it was tasty on its own and perfect for dipping the fritters. ![A rice cake soaked with tteokbokki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-11-a1ry2-900.webp) Again, the rice cakes were nice and chewy, great to bite into. The sauce was spicy with an underlying sweetness — gentle at first, with the spiciness building as you go! The broth (?) soaked into the rice cakes well too, tasty on its own and great for dipping the fritters. ![Menu board at Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-12-3aigu-900.webp) ## 1,500-won Coolpis and unlimited pickled radish at the self-serve bar Mid-meal I suddenly checked the menu to order a drink haha. Coolpis is ₩1,500 but it's a big one. Not the small size!!! ![Self-serve bar with pickled radish, soy sauce and salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-13-1b05l-900.webp) There's a self-serve bar so you can refill pickled radish as much as you want. My husband likes to carefully mix his own soy sauce and salt, so I set that up for him. In return, I made him fetch the water haha. ![Payment counter at Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters-14-4irsb-900.webp) You pay right here!!! We stayed until right before closing, and customers kept coming in — a lot of people were just ordering ramyeon and eating alone. The ramyeon smell was so good... (and the price is good too!) The next day I asked my husband to make ramyeon at home! Looking back at these photos makes me want it again — I might just go back today; ## Where it is - Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch (현선이네 프리미엄 IFC몰점) - 10 Gukjegeumyung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, basement level 2, IFC Mall - 서울특별시 영등포구 국제금융로 10 IFC몰 지하2층 현선이네프리미엄 - 37.5241142, 126.9253224 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%84%EC%84%A0%EC%9D%B4%EB%84%A4%20%ED%94%84%EB%A6%AC%EB%AF%B8%EC%97%84%20IFC%EB%AA%B0%EC%A0%90/@37.5241142,126.9253224,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seochang-narrow-grill/yeouido-ifc-hyunsunine-set-veggie-fritters/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
