SeoulSpice brings ‘Korean comfort food’ to Falls Church

By Jeff Clabaugh

SeoulSpice, which has set its sights on expanding beyond the D.C. area, continues expansion with its newest location opening in Falls Church, Virginia.

The Falls Church location opens June 4 at 156 W. Falls Church Blvd., at West Falls, the largest development in Falls Church.

West Falls, developed by Hoffman & associates, is a 1.2 million square foot mixed-use development near the West Falls Church Metro that includes apartments, condos, senior living, retail, a grocery store, medical offices and a hotel.

The SeoulSpice location in Falls Church will be its eighth in the D.C. area.

SeoulSpice, which bills its fast-casual menu as Korean comfort food, opened its first restaurant outside of the D.C. area in Chicago in April. It has two other locations they are planning to open in Chicago.

The company received outside funding from New York-based investment firm Invus Group LLC last summer to fund expansion. Invus was an early backer of CAVA.

The first SeoulSpice, with build-your-own Korean bowls, opened its first D.C. location in 2016. Its founder and CEO Eric Shin, not a restauranteur by trade, is currently principal percussionist with the National Symphony Orchestra.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
