CHICAGO, IL – August 12, 2025 – Goldstreet Partners, a full-service real estate firm specializing in hospitality and lifestyle-driven retail, has announced the successful opening of SeoulSpice’s second Chicago location at 619 N. State Street in the city’s bustling River North neighborhood. The 1,043 sq ft space—plus basement—marks the latest step in the brand’s multi-unit expansion, supported by investor Invus Group and guided by Goldstreet as its exclusive real estate representative.
Founded by Eric Shin, a classically trained percussionist turned entrepreneur, SeoulSpice has made waves with its bold approach to Korean cuisine—offering customizable bowls, wraps, and salads crafted from scratch using gluten-free, family-inspired recipes.
“River North is a culinary destination, and we’re proud to bring something truly fresh and different to the neighborhood. We’ve felt so much love from the city already, and the River North response—lines out the door on day one—shows that Chicagoans are hungry for this kind of food.”
— said Eric Shin, founder of SeoulSpice.
Following a buzzworthy Michigan Avenue debut, the River North opening further cements SeoulSpice’s presence in Chicago. The brand also has locations in Washington, D.C., with additional Chicago outposts coming soon to Wicker Park and Willis Tower.
“At Goldstreet, we focus on pairing emerging restaurant concepts with the right environments to succeed. SeoulSpice is the kind of high-integrity, high-impact brand that resonates with the modern urban consumer—and River North is a perfect match.”
— said David Goldberg, CEO and Founder of Goldstreet Partners.
The River North space joins one of Chicago’s most sought-after food and hospitality corridors. Designed to accommodate both quick service and dine-in customers, the location benefits from strong daytime foot traffic, nightlife proximity, and downtown visibility.
