From Korean BBQ in Mount Laurel to tequila at the shore, four restaurants to check out
Craig Vogt’s latest South Jersey restaurant has fit right into the dining scene in Mount Laurel.
Vogt, a Mount Laurel native, couldn’t be happier with the reception that Dolsan Korean BBQ and Sushi has received.
Located at 3747 Church Road in the Princeton Place shopping center, Dolsan is the second in the brand. The other is Dolsat House Korean BBQ Restaurant in Cherry Hill, just miles away from the new restaurant.
“Business is picking up now that word is spreading,” said Vogt, a Lenape High School, who added that the positive reviews have helped, too. “We have 11 tableside barbeque hoods where our servers cook your Korean barbeque meats, and those are sold out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday dinner.”
Reservations are recommended for groups larger than four people.
He says their most popular items are Dolsan kalbi (prime), marinated kalbi, prime ribeye, wagyu chuck flap and wagyu skirt steak.
Customers can choose a grill table or a regular table if they're just getting sushi. The atmosphere is modern and sleek.
“We have brought in a seasoned experienced Korean chef from Manhattan with over 20 plus years of experience in fine dining, Korean and Japanese,” Vogt added. “Our sushi chef also has 25 plus years of experience. We serve Uni and bluefin tuna. Some of the best in the world. Almost 80% of our clients get the barbecue combos which come with a nice variety of meats and food.
“We will expand our Dolsan/Dolsot brand to other parts of New Jersey. We are currently looking at Philly suburbs and Central Jersey.”
