The entrance is right next to Mega Coffee at Exit 3 of Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. ![Entrance and menu board of Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch next to Mega Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-02-1u0x5-900.webp) There's an order kiosk to the right of the menu board, and the entrance door is just beyond it. ![Order kiosk and entrance door outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-03-yg5iq-900.webp) Step inside and you find this — Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch, decked out in old-school Euljiro tteokbokki-joint charm. ![Interior of Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch decorated with old-school charm](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-04-u2pqk-900.webp) ## Hyeonseoni-ne à la carte menu and prices Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch is a Korean restaurant near Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station with a wide range of individual menu items. - Tteokbokki, per serving, ₩6,000 (spicy, medium, or mild) - Handmade sundae, ₩6,500 (comes with organs) - Mini gimbap, 4 pieces, ₩5,000 - Busan teukcheon fish cake, ₩1,500 each; Busan gilzugi fish cake, ₩1,000 each - Assorted fried snacks, 5 pieces, ₩6,000 (squid, kimmari, vegetable, meat mandu, sweet potato) - Ramyeon, spicy ramyeon, cheese ramyeon, tuna mayo rice ball With so many menu options, it's a great place to order a bit of everything. ![À la carte menu board at Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-05-tiyv3-797.webp) ## Set menus and what comes in the instant tteokbokki There are plenty of set menus too, so if you're stuck deciding, picking from a set is a good move.

The food came out fast. ![Table spread with tteokbokki, sundae, fried snacks, mini gimbap, and fish cakes from the Hyeonseon Combo Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-07-1nj3w-900.webp) ### Can't take heat? Medium spice is the sweet spot The spicy version is supposedly famous, but since I'm a spice wimp I went with medium. I've heard that if you go mild, it can feel a bit underwhelming by the end! The medium-spice tteokbokki here has just the right kick for a spice wimp like me — I dunked the rice cakes generously in the sauce and dipped everything else in the tteokbokki sauce too, and it was all delicious. ![Broth-style tteokbokki ordered at medium spice level](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-08-1nfoz-900.webp) There's a generous amount of chewy tteokbokki rice cakes, and the sweet-spicy broth-style tteokbokki brought back memories of the tteokbokki I used to eat outside school as a kid. There's plenty of broth, which is great for dipping the sundae and fried snacks in too. ![Close-up of broth-style tteokbokki piled with rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-09-8ljpb-900.webp) ### Mini gimbap The mini gimbap (seaweed rice roll) has pickled radish, ham, egg, imitation crab, and fish cake inside, and it's seasoned just right and nutty, so it's tasty on its own, ![Four pieces of mini gimbap filled with pickled radish and ham](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-10-q6aeu-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a bite-sized mini gimbap piece](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-11-1uw7s-900.webp) and it's just as good dipped in the tteokbokki broth. The mini gimbap comes in bite-sized pieces, so you can eat it neatly and cleanly. ![Mini gimbap dipped in tteokbokki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-12-jhsrr-900.webp) ### Fish cake broth cools down the spice The fish cakes were brought out together with their broth, still warm and delicious. The fish cakes are soft and tasty, and taking a spoonful of the broth between bites of tteokbokki cools down the heat and tastes great. ![Busan fish cakes served together with broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-13-wfqzg-900.webp) ### Handmade sundae with offal The handmade sundae (blood sausage) came out with organs served alongside. ![Plate of handmade sundae served with organs](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-14-g66lz-900.webp) The glutinous rice sundae is packed full inside — it's good dipped in salt, but it's even better dipped in the tteokbokki broth. ![Close-up of glutinous rice sundae packed full inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-15-pv9r4-900.webp) ![Glutinous rice sundae dipped in tteokbokki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-16-11sda-900.webp) The organs were also cooked well, moist and tender, and delicious dipped in the tteokbokki broth. ![Moist, well-cooked organs served on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-17-zmrja-900.webp) ### Five kinds of fried snacks in the platter The assorted fried snacks come with a balanced mix of five types — squid, kimmari, vegetable, meat mandu, and sweet potato — cut into easy-to-eat sizes so they're convenient to eat. ![Plate of assorted fried snacks with squid, kimmari, vegetable, meat mandu, and sweet potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-18-1tu3q-900.webp) ![Assorted fried snacks cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-19-9edi5-900.webp) The fried snacks aren't greasy and are crispy and nutty, which I loved, ![Cross-section of a crispy fried snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-20-hi3ue-900.webp) ![Fried meat mandu packed full inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-21-b8z0y-900.webp) and the meat mandu was packed full inside, the squid in the fried squid was chunky, and honestly every single piece of the fried snacks was delicious! ![Fried squid snack with chunky pieces of squid visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-22-eqqu6-900.webp) ![Fried snack dipped in tteokbokki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth-23-17ewp-900.webp) Dipping the crispy, nutty fried snacks into the spicy tteokbokki broth was so good I finished everything in no time! For a Korean restaurant near Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station serving up tasty tteokbokki with genuine old-school Euljiro charm, I recommend Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch. ## Where it is - Hyeonseoni-ne Cheonggye Instant Branch (현선이네 청계즉석점) - 112 Namdaemun-ro, 1st floor, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (next to Mega Coffee) - 서울특별시 중구 남대문로 112 1층 (메가커피 옆) - 37.5671291, 126.9830312 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%84%EC%84%A0%EC%9D%B4%EB%84%A4%20%EC%B2%AD%EA%B3%84%EC%A6%89%EC%84%9D%EC%A0%90/@37.5671291,126.9830312,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@shared-tray/euljiro-hyeonseonine-combo-fishcake-broth/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
