After visiting here, I am left wondering why it has 3.1 rating, when it should be way into 4 stars. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and overall very pleasant. Unlike some other kbbq places I've been to in PalPark/Fort Lee area, this place is spacious. You won't feel like you're sitting right next to anyone. The service is nothing short of amazing. The food came out fast and looked high quality and clean. We got pork belly, marinated pork, and thin sliced pork. All the meats were great. We especially loved pork belly - it was neither too fatty nor dry, and the server cooked it to absolute crispy perfection.we also got fried rice, and you HAVE to get it. It is delicious. The fried rice made in oil of pork belly was crispy on the bottom, while being really well seasoned. We have had a few kbbq fried rice in the area, and this one takes the cake. The side dishes were not as varied as some places, but it is more than enough and each side dish tasted good. And the marinated pork had the smoky flavor and not over marinated. It was very moist and soft as well. The 2+1 promotion they're running makes it a no brainer to check this place out, but their combo deals are good too. One easily overlooked perk is that they have a massive parking lot. This alone is so amazing. All in all, if you want a good ambiance, fast service, and good KBBQ, check this place out. read more

The crab combo is very good. It's fresh and they give you a good amount of crab. They give you small portion of the soy marinated crabs. But the spicy marinated is also delicious and you can mix it in with your rice :p BYOB. Bring some soju and beer. Usually very busy on weekends, open for lunch and dinner. Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

Famous for typical Korean style "Jjim" - braised or stew - however you wish to call it. Agu-jjim is another popular dish among Koreans for the monk fish, and huge amount of bean sprouts added in with special spicy sauce [you can request spicey level modification] Quite a huge menu. Really. Not only the braised menu, but the noodles, soup, stir-fry, etc. The place is spacious, very appropriate for meetings. The food is true to its flavor, does not use too much MSG seasoning, and mild [not to salty or sweet]. read more

This place is NOT good. Not sure why my parents like this place (maybe because it's empty, and there's probably a reason why)... literally everything except their bbq tastes bad. Their side dishes aren't good, which is usually the telltale sign for a Korean restaurant. I ordered 알탕 and they literally included the fish brain in the soup. WHY?!! read more

WOW WOW WOW! I am truly blown away at this place for everything it has to offer. It's tucked away at the end of the plaza, however they have some of the highest quality and most TENDER meat I have ever put in my mouth. We dinner in for the new KBBQ meats they just added to cater to a larger audience and it is truly the most tender meat I have ever gotten at any restaurant, not just for kbbq. They have servers cooking for you, cutting you portion sizes, and serving you. They are the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met while dining at a restaurant even though I don't speak Korean. They friendly encouraged me to try different ways to eat the food to showcase their culture and it was like eating at home with a family friend, truly the best ambiance I have experienced at a restaurant. I highly highly highly reccomend this place to try. You can see we got the beef short ribs and the nunkkoch galbisal which was INCREDIBLE. The photos look as good as it tastes forsure. I barely needed to dip in sesame oil/ salt because this meat was so tender. read more

I went for dinner with a buddy visiting from Virginia as he wanted to go to a Korean seafood restaurant. I've heard good things about this place, esp. regarding braised fish dishes (jjim). We ordered pickled soy crab small (3 crabs quartered) to share + hwedupbap (sashimi over rice) for him and saengtaejjigae (spicy cod stew) for me. The vibe is very... hmm, how do I say politely... homey... and is mainly frequented by older Korean patrons. I eat regularly at the sushi place few doors down, and every single time, I saw this place at least 50% full with grandmas, grandpas, and generally elderly population. What that means is that they do seafood stews well as this demographic loves that kind of spicy, insides-clearing type of soul food from the homeland. So we had reasonably high expectations but from the crab we were disappointed - the crabs while decently fresh-tasting, did not have the soy sauce penetrate its meat well at all. You still need rice with it, but it was just lacking in that soy sauce pickly flavor. My friend didn't finish his hwedupbap and when I tried a spoon, it was just "OK" and didn't have the kind of toppings some of the better places come with. To be fair, I don't think you should order hewdupbap at a seafood stew place. My spicy cod stew was ... good... but I think I had more fish bones to clear through compared to that flaky white meat, We were there to catch up and engage in deep conversations, and the food got in the way because these kinds of foods aren't easy to eat - you've got to pick up crabs with your hands, hold the crab carapace to mix rice inside and scrape out to eat, pick out fish bones from stew, etc etc. so if the smell didn't tell you already, DO NOT BRING YOUR DATE HERE! (lol) I dunno, I just didn't really enjoy myself having a convo while squeezing meat out of crab legs. :P But for those who want to go all hands-in, I can see they have some real value dishes for multiple people... like the monk fish jjim, but this type of food is not my favorite personally, though obviously, it is for the elder generations. I probably would try once again but won't be running to them anytime soon. read more

Good marinated crab here! Not the best one around but pretty damn close. Prefer the spicy one personally, but the soy marinade was also pretty good though. Had a large order of the Agu Goni Jjim and have to say that was surprisingly good too. The monkfish was cooked just right and super tender. Not overloaded with beansprouts and fillers either. No brainer on the $10 upsize to get almost a double portion. Oh, the oysters too!!! I would definitely go for the fried ones. They have raw as option here but I think the fried ones were sweeter and better. The downside is definitely the broth and soup base here. Tried multiple times and consistently meh. Have no idea how their seafood can be so fresh but then their broth base turns out meh like that. Not really making sense to me, but just stay off the soup here and you should be good. read more

This Korean Seafood restaurant will be my go to restaurant from now on. The food was tasty ( very authentic Korean style which I have been looking for so long) and the wait staff were so friendly. I barely tasted MSG even I ordered some 'Tang ' which was soup. I didn't feel thirsty after I had it. My husband ordered Jeh Yook Hot stone BiBimBob and it had a real smoky flavor with veriety of Vegetables. Everything tasted so good! read more

This restaurant recently opened, as evident from all the congratulatory plants that you'll see once you walk into the restaurant. ...Actually, don't go and just take my word for it because I would give this place zero stars if I could. My mother and I walked into an empty restaurant for a late lunch (around 2 pm) on a Friday. She had seen an advertisement for the restaurant in a local Korean newspaper, and being the seafood lover that she is, she wanted to check it out as we were in the area. My mother ordered the Saeng Tae Tang, which is pollack stew with vegetable and tofu, while I got the Al Bap, hot bowl rice with vegetables and fish roe. My al bap wasn't bad, although it had more vegetables than fish roe. Al bap usually comes with different types of fish roe, but here, there was only one kind -- salmon roe. However, I did appreciate that the gochugang (Korean red chili paste) came separately so I can adjust the spicy level because when it comes to food, there is nothing that I hate more than obnoxiously spicy food, i.e. food that is spicy for the sake of being spicy. So far, there isn't nothing to warrant such a low rating, right? But wait, there's more! As my mother was enjoying her stew, she found a small piece of blue thing in it. You can see it for yourself as I took a picture of it, but it definitely looks like a piece from a rubber band. We called our server over and she said that the kitchen would make a stew for my mother and not charge her, but we still wind up being charged for the stew, despite the uncomfortable experience. By the time the new stew came out, I had finished eating so not only was it an awkward situation but it delayed the rest of our schedule. Such an incident happening at a NEWLY opened restaurant?! This is definitely a never again for me. read more

My family came here for dinner last week and were extremely disappointed. This restaurant's level of service and food taste was SO BAD! The restaurant was not busy and was walking around doing basically nothing. The food finally came out after a 20 minute wait and it was really bad. I do not think my dog would have eaten it. We got the fish egg stew and cold noodles which were bland and unfit for human consumption. The wait staff also refused to refill the banchan bowls. I will definitely not be going back here again. Save your money read more

I have been there several times but the service has gone terribly down hill. There was a large reservation in the restaurant. Was told by the server sorry, the restaurant is reserved, you will have to leave now. There was a communication issue but eventually we realized that we would have to find another place to eat. One of the younger servers felt bad and said no, this table is available for you both to eat at. After moving and sitting at this new table and they cleaned it the original server came back and asked us to order. As I placed the one entree order I asked for an appetizer too. She legitimately said, "No, no, too much, kitchen will soon be busy." I pointed at the item and said this is just a seafood pancake, it was then that she slapped my hand as I was trying to point at the appetizer dish, and pulled the menus and said, that "entree is enough food for you, kitchen has no time, no time." Appalling service. Horrible older lady. read more

Food: pleasantly surprised! The banchan, haemul pahjun, jaeyook bokkeum and ahgujjim were all super yummy. My favorite was the ahgujjim and that dish can feed up to two to three people. Service: con was that it took a while for the food to come out so you have to wait... but the waitresses were all nice. ---- Restaurant is large and can fit a large party. It's also BYOB! There's a liquor store right there on the strip so that's convenient. read more

I was excited to try this new restaurant that focuses on seafood soup/jjim. The restaurant is big, spacious and looked pretty clean as it's new. Staffs were attentive. However, since it's a pretty open space, noises were unbearable. It was loud where I couldn't have conversations with my party. Also, I think it's byob and a lot of people were drinking so it was very noisy. Not a place where I want to catch up with my family or friends. Also, the food didn't live up to my expectations. We tried the jjim which is similar to the seafood soup without the soup. It looked huge when it was first served. Also, at a glance, it looked like it had lots of seafood since there are shrimps and crabs on top. But they weren't that big, and there were 2 of them each, with barely any meat in them. At the bottom, it was basically bean sprouts. All bean sprouts with not a lot of real seafood to eat. I like bean sprouts, so that's fine, but it tasted like all ingredients were mixed with the sauce last minute, it wasn't that harmonious. It didn't have any deep flavors. We also tried al bap, which is basically a bowl of white rice with fish eggs and some veggies. It was serviced on a hot stove pan so I was really excited, but then again, no real deep flavors. Not salty or sweet, but like no flavors. read more

The worst and unprofessional quality and quantity. All the food including the side food was poorly made. Grilled fish was small. Baby octopus was small for $32 and tasted different in a bad way from traditional korean dish.Not recommended. read more

This place is so. FRESH. I mean, the seafood is ridiculously fresh its borderline sweet no stanky, slimy, fishy smells here! Giant shrimps, fish, clams, mussels, sea squirt, quail eggs, plus escargot(at least I think it is? It's the snail like thing in a nautilus shell lol) plus their portions are gigantic, got the seafood stew for 2 and seriously more than enough for at least 4 *although my grandma and sister dont eat much lol Side dishes also gets a plus from me, I mean egg steam?! Stewed mackerel?! I mean these are FREE. Plus the restuarant itself is big and spacious, very clean and I love the marble top tables lol read more

Dol Seafood - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Really amazing place; fresh seafood stew with spicy soup (which we wanted as mild, so the servers simply removed a bit of spicy paste from the initial amount that they put into the soup!). Certainly there were bits of seafood that I had never tried before, but was more than willing. The other dishes were amazing too. The bibimbap was served on a large stone plate; even though they didn't provide any spicy sauce this time around, it was mildly sweet, and provided a contrast to the other flavors on the table. The seafood pancakes was amazing - thick, not too mealy with flour, and full of seafood goodness. The side dishes were nice too, including the kimchee and peanuts. All in all worth coming to again and again! read more

They've jacked up their prices in the last two years but I've not seen any changes or improvements in the food and service. Paid 44 dollars for a haemul jjim for me and my spouse and we ended up being extremely disappointed. The dish is supposed to be a combination of various seafoods in spicy sauce with some vegetables. What we were served instead was a very large plate of steamed bean sprouts with barely any seafood. I could literally list everything by count what was in the dish. 2 very small halves of blue crab, two tiny sea snails of which one of them was cracked and just filled with sauce, two shrimps, 4 pieces of agu fish, and 3 tiny kkoltugis. And the rest... literally all bean sprouts. You can argue that it tastes good and that it's fresh but for 44 dollars I would expect way more variety of seafoods and a lot less bean sprouts. read more

I got to check out Dol Seafood while on a tour organized by a Korean tourism company. The day I dropped by, it was just 5 of us since we had just flown in to NY/NJ. The restaurant is new and very clean - you can tell from the interior, it is nice and bright! It is extremely spacious inside and there are a lot of tables. A lot of large groups come here to dine so I can see it getting very crowded at times. Only one large group (of about 20 people) showed up on our way out and there was still plenty of space in the restaurant. My mom and I shared the hot seafood soup. The soup comes out in a large pot and it heats up on the table under a burner. The soup was very flavorful and there was a lot of seafood. It wasn't too spicy but there was some kick to it. If you don't mind potentially being surrounded by large groups of tourists then this is a good place to satisfy your craving for some hot Korean seafood soup! read more

This is the best korean seafood place in this area. The oysters are definitely the best for its price around this area. They give you half a dozen for $8/9 The seafood soup is around $45 for two people but three people can share. The soup has a deep seafood flavor and is refreshing from the bean sprouts. The al bap comes out in a sizzling pan. It was a bit too spicy for me. It is quite spacious inside with ample parking. It does get really busy during prime time. You will have to wait for your food for a bit. read more

0 stars. The food is absolutely disgusting. We ordered 1/2 a dozen of oysters to start and it was completely frozen. I was horrified and appalled that this restaurant can serve oysters this way. I also ordered the soy sauce marinated crab and it was not fresh. It tasted like they just poured plain soy sauce over it. It had absolutely no flavor and the crabs that they used in general were lower grade crabs. It makes sense that the food isn't good. They do not use fresh ingredients. Service also gets a 0 for me. Staff are rude and messed up our order and did not even bother to acknowledge or apologize in regards. Save your money and time and go elsewhere. This place is not worth it at all. read more

NOPE. Oysters were frozen so much that i couldn't bite through. If you must go, don't order the crabs. We ordered the combo where you get the marinated raw crabs (soy-sauce & also the red pepper paste version) in addition to the crab stew. The crabs tasted grainy! Aside from the food, the service was poor. We had to walk up to the counter to get the check because no one was attending to us. Save your money and don't come to this restaurant. read more

Food is truly horrible. Cursing and eating same time....i will never come back here. So mad right now. Waste of money.

Worst service ever. Four of us went there ordered for 2 people since two of us already ate. There was no one in the restaurant and we weren't even served with water and the waitress gave us a look for ordering for 2 even though we told her that 2 of us already ate. They said we can't get seafood pancake and fried rice what was already included on the menu for so the menu is false. They said they didn't want to cut the kimchi for the fried rice and I can't remember what excuse they gave for the pancake. They wouldn't even give us rice when we asked for it 3 times, wouldn't even respond when we ask for it, just look at us and walk away. At the end, they told us to pay 15% tip when we paid, probably they already realized that they weren't worth 15% tips. read more

The food here wasn't good. We had the raw crab marinated in soy sauce. I ordered tonkatsu but I guess I shouldn't of have because it took over 40 minutes to come out. They could've told be it was going to take a while. The server that took our order didn't even come to tel it was going to be delayed. Wasn't happy with the service here. read more

Their service is great but the food could be better. I'll give another try at some point..

My first time trying this place. I am really sensitive and picky with seafood since i cannot stand the smell from the seafood thats not fresh. The side dishes were decent. I dont have in the picture but they also give steamed egg as well. I ordered the seafod soup, haemultang, for two. It has a lot of fresh seafood! The soup gets better as you boil it more while eating. I also asked for another steamed egg. They told me they usually charge for the second one but they gave it to us for free! Also we ordered fried rice after we finished the soup. It was not excellent but still a good way to end the meal. The service was friendly and fast. This place is BYOB as well. There is a liquor store nearby. I would definitely come back for seafood! read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I order food from here every once in a while because they have good steamed seafood here (haemuljjim). They ALWAYS gave me the sauce whether I was dining in or taking out. Today, I ordered the steamed seafood but they forgot the sauce so I gave them a call to let them to see if they had forgotten. The manager that picked up the phone and first said that they don't ever put the sauce in the to go orders, then he said that I would have to request it on the side, then he said that it was MY FAULT for not ennuciating my order correctly. The food I ordered was correct, I just wanted to know what happened to my sauce. He then tried to dismiss me by throwing me an empty apology and asked me what else he wanted me to do. Hung up the phone as soon as he said that, DISRESPECTFUL. Never eating here again. read more

The food is good. But the reason for poor rating is because of their service. I just left after arguing with the lady in the front. I was trying to make a to go order and she said it was going to take an hour and thirty minutes. I asked why it would take so long because the restaurant wasn't as packed as it normally is. She then said if you're going to ask question and waste my time you can just go. I had a problem with her attitude in the past. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and dropped it then. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do the same. read more

Food always takes 3 hours to take for to-go orders, it's laughable. I can probably make my own kimchi stew within that time.
