How to order at Hyeonseonine: the kiosk by the entrance

Here's the Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch menu — swipe through. You order at the kiosk right at the entrance. Every menu item has a picture, and there's everything from single dishes to side dishes to full set combos — I loved that!

What comes in the 26,000 won Hyeonseonine Combo

I ordered the Hyeonseonine Combo (26,000 won) set. The dishes came out fast right after ordering! It's a mix of tteokbokki, gimbap, sundae, sundae organ meat, fish cake, and fritters — genuinely filling and so delicious ㅠㅠ I came alone but wanted to try everything, so I ate what I could and packed the rest to go~

The tteokbokki: mild and easy to like

Here comes the tteokbokki!! Honestly, this place deserves recognition as a tteokbokki spot. The sauce isn't overly spicy or strong — it's that crowd-pleasing flavor everyone can enjoy! Both the tteokbokki and fish cake come in generous portions, so tasty you keep going back for more~

Squiggly fish cake in the combo

Here comes the squiggly fish cake~ You get three pieces, and the fish cake is so wonderfully chewy! The broth is amazing too ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Definitely a place I want to visit again!!

Four kinds of fritters

The fritters include kimmari (seaweed noodle roll), squid, vegetable, and sweet potato. The kimmari and squid need no explanation, but the vegetable one is my pick!!!! The sweet potato is plain on its own, but dipped in the tteokbokki sauce it wasn't dry at all and tasted great! No oily smell either, so I kept reaching for more! Also try dipping it in soy sauce instead of the tteokbokki broth~

Mini gimbap (seaweed rice rolls)

For the gimbap, mini gimbap comes out~ Perfect for a picnic too!

Sundae (blood sausage) and organ meat

The sundae plate comes with both sundae and organ meat, no gamey taste at all — genuinely delicious! Great even on its own. This is truly a Yongridan-gil bunsik must-visit. Really, really, really!

Next time I want to come back for beer along with the tteok-twi-sun-gim-o set (tteokbokki, fritters, sundae, gimbap, fish cake)!

Hyeonseonine is also a bit of a celebrity spot — lots of TV shows and celebrities have visited haha.

Is Hyeonseonine good for solo dining?

Let me show you the inside of this Yongridan-gil favorite, Hyeonseonine Yongsan. The whole building is taken up by Hyeonseonine! It has a pojangmacha (street tent bar) feel, but the atmosphere is really great~ High ceilings, clean and comfortable, with a variety of seating — great for eating solo too!

The counter at Hyeonseonine Yongsan Main Branch. Both the staff and the owner were so kind — I ate well and left in a really good mood.
