Hello! SOPO is a new Korean fast-casual restaurant based in NYC. Our mission is to deliver a guaranteed form of happiness in the form of Korean food to nourish the body and soul. We are a group of Korean friends and long-time New Yorkers, and we believe that Korean food is one of the best parts of our culture, which is why we’re launching our first store in NYC. Our team culture is built on 4 core values (S.O.P.O.): - Service : Our service is second to none – high quality, consistency, customer centric thinking are second nature.

Good enough simply is not good enough.
