Fast Casual Korean Restaurant Chain Opens 2nd NoVA Site

FALLS CHURCH, VA — SeoulSpice Korean Kitchen, the DC-based fast-casual Korean restaurant chain known for its bold flavors and scratch-made recipes, has opened its second location in Northern Virginia.

The newest venue is at 156 W. Falls Church Blvd. in West Falls — the largest new development in Falls
Church. SeoulSpice opened to diners on June 4.

The chain already has a Rosslyn location at 1735 N. Lynn St., Suite 106 in Arlington.

The West Falls site is the ninth SeoulSpice location — with additional openings on the horizon. The new Falls Church space features a bright, modern design and a custom mural by acclaimed local Korean-American artist, Peter Chang.

SeoulSpice will serve residents, visitors, and commuters from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily — offering dine-in, online ordering through seoulspice.com and delivery apps, as well as catering.

Founded in 2016, SeoulSpice began as an idea from Eric Shin, principal percussionist of the

National Symphony Orchestra. Growing up in his mother’s Korean restaurant, Eric fell in love
with the bold flavors of Korean food and its power to bring people together, the company said.

“We are proud to be part of the Falls Church community,” Shin said in a statement. “With such a
dynamic mix of places to live, work, and play, we’re excited to bring a taste of Korea’s delicious
food and warm hospitality to the neighborhood.”

SeoulSpice’s expansion comes at a time when Korean culture is booming across the U.S., with
K-pop, K-dramas, and K-beauty fueling a nationwide appetite for Korean cuisine. According to
Chicago-based market research firm Circana, Korean restaurant growth in the U.S. surged 10%
year-over-year in 2024, across both full-service and quick-service formats.
