About SeoulSpice:

Our mission is to share Korea’s delicious food, warm hospitality, and vibrant culture with the world.

SeoulSpice began as a simple idea in the mind of Eric Shin, a Juilliard-trained musician in one the nation’s top symphony orchestras. Long before his performances in the concert hall, Eric spent his childhood in Mama Shin’s upscale Korean restaurant where he watched her craft dishes that were as much about hospitality and storytelling as they were about flavor. During that time, Eric didn’t just fall in love with the bold, comforting flavors of Korean cooking, he fell for the way food could make strangers feel like family. Over time, he became a one-man Korean food ambassador, introducing friends to kimchi, bulgogi, and gochujang-spiked everything, and was always amazed by how quickly they fell in love too.

In 2016, Eric decided to share Korean love with even more people by launching SeoulSpice, a fast casual restaurant where he brought the same discipline and pursuit of excellence that shaped his career as a musician. Every dish reflects his commitment to tradition, quality, and creativity, with a menu built around traditional family recipes prepared using house-marinated meats, fresh produce, and bold sauces. All prepared From Scratch With Love.
