After a 15km run, the writer ordered the instant tteokbokki (rice cakes simmered at the table) for two at 22,000 won in medium spice and liked the shallow, savory broth, the chewy rice cakes and the generous cabbage. Even a spice wimp found this pot deliciously spicy rather than painful. ## Good to know - **Address**: B2, IFC Mall, 10 Gukjegeumyung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:00-21:00 / Weekends 12:00-21:00 / Last order 20:40 - **Instant tteokbokki for two**: 22,000 won - **Coolpis (sweet yogurt drink)**: 1,500 won - **Soda**: 2,000 won - **Instant tteokbokki spice levels**: Mild, medium, spicy - **What the set for two includes**: Rice cakes, fish cake, 2 eggs, vegetables, jjolmyeon (chewy wheat noodles), 4 fried dumplings - **Price reference**: ₩22,000 ≈ $16.5 · ₩1,500 ≈ $1.1 · ₩2,000 ≈ $1.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Introductory photo of instant tteokbokki at Hyeonseonine IFC Mall branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-01-1vzix-900.webp) Hyeonseonine started in Yongsan and is famous as one of Korea's "Big 3 Tteokbokki" spots. ![Photo related to Hyeonseonine tteokbokki, which started in Yongsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-02-9mexh-822.webp) ![Photo related to Hyeonseonine tteokbokki in Yongsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-03-brxa7-900.webp) The weather's gotten cooler, so I ran an LSD (long slow distance) route of about 15km from home to Yeouido, and by the end I could feel my blood sugar dropping. At times like this, tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes) is the answer! ![Photo of Hyeonseonine tteokbokki found after a run](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-04-1oq59-900.webp) ## How to reach Hyeonseonine from Yeouido Station without going outside So I headed to Hyeonseonine, located in the underground passage that connects Yeouido Station to IFC Mall. > 📍 10 Gukjegeumyung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, B2 IFC Mall, South Korea > ⏰ Weekdays 11:00-21:00 / Weekends 12:00-21:00 / Last order 20:40 ![Location information for Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-05-1rffh-900.webp) The company-run branch at IFC Mall Yeouido has been newly renovated. ![The newly renovated Hyeonseonine store at IFC Mall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-06-701b-900.webp) ![Interior of Hyeonseonine Premium at IFC Mall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-07-1bx9a-900.webp) Maybe because it was lunchtime, the seats inside were nearly full, and a lot of people were eating at the tables set up between the GS convenience store as well. ## Ordering the instant tteokbokki for two at 22,000 won ![Photo of Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-08-1cw0o-900.webp) This spicy tteokbokki spot started as a street cart in 2004. I remember eating it back in the day at Yongsan Station's iPark Mall too. ![Memory of eating Hyeonseonine tteokbokki at Yongsan Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-09-13pw3-900.webp) Hyeonseonine is originally famous for its spicy tteokbokki, but today we ordered the instant tteokbokki. ✔️ Instant tteokbokki for two, ₩22,000 ![Photo of the instant tteokbokki for two order](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-10-1axbq-m-900.webp) ![Photo showing the price for instant tteokbokki for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-11-12fca-900.webp) Tableware and pickled radish are self-serve, and you grab your own drinks too. ✔️ Coolpis ₩1,500 ✔️ Soda ₩2,000 ## How spicy is Hyeonseonine's medium instant tteokbokki? ![Deliciously spicy instant tteokbokki from Hyeonseonine](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-12-lpvxi-900.webp) The set for two comes with rice cakes, fish cake, 2 eggs, vegetables, jjolmyeon (chewy wheat noodles), and 4 fried dumplings. ![Instant tteokbokki set with rice cakes, fish cake and jjolmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-13-1nynj-900.webp) You can choose between mild, medium, and spicy, and I ordered medium. ![Instant tteokbokki ordered at medium spice level](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-14-1icev-900.webp) The broth was on the shallow side, giving it more of a soupy tteokbokki feel. ![Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki with shallow broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-15-ltbw7-900.webp) ![Photo of instant tteokbokki with a soupy tteokbokki feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-16-uqvzg-900.webp) There were a whopping 4 fried dumplings included, but personally I'm not a fan of soggy fried dumplings, so I pulled them out of the pot while the tteokbokki was simmering. I like eating them crispy, so this is my usual move. Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki bubbling away deliciously. ![Pot of Hyeonseonine's instant tteokbokki bubbling away](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-17-1ccl8-900.webp) Since jjolmyeon (chewy wheat noodles) is in there, make sure to keep stirring or it'll stick to the bottom of the pot. ![Instant tteokbokki being stirred with jjolmyeon inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-18-1g660-1200.webp) Hyeonseonine's medium-spicy instant tteokbokki had a slightly spicy first bite, but it wasn't overwhelmingly hot. Hyeonseonine used to be the place I went for proper spicy tteokbokki, but I've been turning into a spice wimp lately, so it's a bit of a shame — still, we compromised on medium and it turned out to be just the right level of deliciously spicy. ![Deliciously spicy medium-heat instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-19-11vva-900.webp) ![Photo of the medium-spicy Hyeonseonine instant tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-20-1vviw-900.webp) The rice cakes were nice and chewy. And cabbage is my favorite thing in instant tteokbokki — it usually disappears fast while it's cooking, and you end up digging through the pot for it, but here there was plenty of cabbage, which I really liked. ![Instant tteokbokki with plenty of cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-21-dftwi-900.webp) ![Instant tteokbokki with rice cakes and cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-22-pnkek-900.webp) The unwritten rule is to crack the egg into your own little dish and dip it into the tteokbokki broth. And you can't skip the warm fish cake broth in between bites either. They gave a generous amount of that too, which I appreciated. The table next to us was eating mini gimbap and it looked delicious — I'm planning to order that next time I come. ![Photo related to the mini gimbap the writer wants to order next time](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-23-g86m1-900.webp) After my run, my energy was completely drained, so between the rice cakes, gochujang, sugar in the tteokbokki, and a cola on top, I recharged my blood sugar properly! Hyeonseonine is a great spot if you're looking for a quick lunch in Yeouido, or if you're craving something spicy while at IFC Mall — perfect for a pot of instant tteokbokki. ![Instant tteokbokki eaten at Yeouido IFC Mall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne-24-dc77b-900.webp) Since it's right in the underground passage connecting Yeouido Station directly to IFC Mall, it's easy to get to and would be great to stop by during lunch hour. After we finished eating, we did some shopping at Zara in IFC Mall and had a well-spent day :) ## Where it is - Hyeonseonine Premium IFC Mall Branch (현선이네 프리미엄 IFC몰점) - 10 Gukjegeumyung-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, B2 IFC Mall, South Korea - 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/@seoul-coaster-hours/yeouido-ifc-jjeuktteok-cabbage-hyeonseonne/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
