Sopo, a New York-based, Korean barbecue-themed, fast casual restaurant chain that offers Korean comfort food, will be opening a location at 463 Seventh Ave., announced Adams & Company. The 3,156-square-foot space will serve as a quick service restaurant with sit down and take out. Comprised of a ground floor and lower level, the restaurant will seat approximately 20 people and is set to open in fall of 2024.
David Levy of Adams & Company represented the landlord, The Arsenal Company LLC. Kassin Sabagh Realty represented Sopo in the transaction.
“Having been founded in 2023, 463 Seventh Ave. marks an important step in the growth of Sopo,” said Levy, principal of Adams & Co. “The Midtown neighborhood is constantly seeing a steady flow of consumers through tourism and the workforce, making it the ideal location for a new fast casual restaurant. We are certain that this location, coupled with Sopo’s innovative concept, will seamlessly result in success for the new brand.”
Sopo was founded in 2023 with the goal to define Korean fast casual and make it a top-of-mind option for a convenient, healthy and delicious meal that is available for take-out, delivery or dining in. It is building a team of experts devoted to creating a unique product and experience with a plan for rapid expansion.
“At Sopo, our goal is to serve a Korean cuisine that is accessible to anyone at any time. We were attracted to 463 Seventh Avenue for its diverse foot traffic made up of tourists, office workers, students and more,” said T Kim, co-founder and CEO of Kkinee, owner of Sopo. “We are excited to become a go to restaurant that New Yorkers and visitors look forward to during their busy days.”
