🍣🥘▪️Sashimi, Spicy seafood hot pot, Deep fried squid & Spicy pork belly with cheese sauce-4/5▪️🥘🍣
Twelve was the restaurant my partner picked for his birthday dinner this year. The restaurant is based in Auckland CBD. We went on a Friday night so it was rather busy. There was a 10-15 minute wait but because we had our 9 month old daughter with us, the waiter had us seated promptly before other groups instead of waiting outside in the cold. I really appreciated the gesture. The customer service was IMPECCABLE! I can’t even begin to explain how considerate and lovely the service we received that night. The restaurant didn’t have a high chair so one of the staff (I’m assuming the duty manager) went and got an office chair with arms for our daughter to sit on. They showed so much concern and even suggested foods they deemed suitable for our daughter to eat. It isn’t a family restaurant but as a mother, I appreciated the gestures they made that night. They truly went above and beyond. The ambience of the place was modern, a bit dark and dimly lit so it gave a bar/restaurant feel. It was also rather loud so be prepared to talk a few octaves higher😅. The spacing of tables were enough for me to manoeuvre my daughters pram without disturbing diners and asking them to move their chairs. Twelve is a bit pricey so be prepared to spend a bit of money. We ordered a variety of dishes. The sashimi was delicious but you can never get fresh salmon sashimi wrong! The squid was a bit average, nothing overly fancy or delicious. The pork belly was delicious but I was expecting a bit more spiciness to it. The highlight of the dishes was the seafood hotpot. The broth was flavourful and had good amount of seafood to it. I find most seafood hotpots tend to skimp out on mussels and crabs but twelve had a good variety of seafood in their hot pot and noodles added to the pot were a nice touch. All in all, I would recommend❤️
I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. There's inside and outdoor dining. The fried chicken was just so good, it was crispy and crunchy and the chicken with the sauce and cheese was the best.
Good customer service 👌 definitely coming again
Twleve another great korean joint that really knows how to handle their chicken. Unlike other places in CBD, Twelve actually gives significantly larger portion sizes and better flavours too tbh. Spicy chicken was damn amazing and was enough for 3 people. Pizza surprisingly great too.
Will definitely come here again. It's great for large groups. Definitely bit pricier than usual. Soju costed around $17 which I thought was crazy but still bought it anyway hahaha. Service is avg dont expect anything amazing.
Great place to start your night out. Be warned it does get quite packed and Loud but that is part of the vibe. The food is not mind blowing, just classic korean dishes. It is a bit expensive for what it is but the location is what contributes to that. Wish they had more vegan vegetarian options.
A very loud place late at night full of asian(myself asian)s smoking outdoors but I remember the spicy chicken wings being really good and it makes you feel alive. Good place to drink as well
So far the best korean bar I’ve been to. Had a booking for a large (15-20 people) group on a Saturday night and the venue was a perfect option. The venue is very large and has heaps of space so really good for bigger groups.
We ordered a few different sharing platters of fried chicken, spicy cooked chicken, corn cheese and fried tofu. All the food was really generous portion sizings and could easily be shared between 3-5people. My favourite was the spicy chicken (stirfried) which was very flavoursome and spicy.
The service was really polite and prompt, dealt with us being a really loud group of annoying young people which was really nice.
Would definitely recommend to everyone, and looking forward to coming back.
Nice atmosphere and good deals during the week. Portions are huge, super tasty. Service is great.
Been here loads of times with work mates for soju bombs and dinner. Great place to just chill out and the staff are really friendly. Highly recommended.
We came by for dinner and grabbed a few items to share. We ordered the yakult soju and it was served with fried lotus roots. The bburinkle sunsal chicken was amazing. The fried chicken had a really tasty seasoning over it. It was served with a dipping sauce but definitely didn't need it. I also quite liked the dumpling and cheese corn but would have been easier to eat if the cheese was mixed in with the corn. The mu bossam (pork belly) was also quite nice, especially with the spicy salad. The snowing chicken was ok and very cheesy. I would have like to try their ddukboki but we had people who didn't like spicy foods.
Portions are fairly large so quite good for groups. The dining area was quite big. Really nice fried chicken and the menu has quite a few options so return visits are a must.
Love their fried chicken!! And love the seafood hotpot, its so good, but the waiter was a bit rude to us but other than that its algoods!!!
Loved this place!!! The atmosphere was amazing and the food was incredible. Definitely among top Korean restaurants in Auckland CBD. We ordered quite a bit and everything was incredibly delicious. The food was super quick despite a really busy night. However, the prices are above average but definitely worth all the money. A must visit as a group so you can try many options off the menu.
Definitely recommend.
Great spacious setting for a group function, dinner, gathering and good food. Place holds great new year feast memories for me and was the place I chose to celebrate 25. Range of food is fantastic surely something for most people without specific dietary requirements to pick from. Great share plates albeit in the smaller side for the cost (but tbh most places I’ve seen Korean share plates tend to be smaller in size-twelve is pretty standard if put in the comparison spectrum). Delicious and everyone leaves content. About 30 pp depending on amount of dishes you get to share across the board, but expect mid twenty and above.
Also been here on a separate occasion for fried chicken which they have a yum range and cheese chicken and the wings are good!!!
Korean fried chicken is amazingly delicious and I love the boneless half n half chicken. Spend a lot of evening at this place for dinner. I will be recommending this place
This place is AMAZING!!!
I know the spicy pan fried chicken is famous and it's undoubtedly superb but trust me, you should really try the hot sprinkle chicken.. that's one of the best chicken I have ever had and I keep craving for it, extremely flavourful!!
I also tried the tteokbokki and that was so delicious as well !!
The staff are amazing and the service is so fast!
One of the best restaurants currently!
Had sweet and spicy chicken , black sesame chicken and chilli soy chicken along with a side of dumplings on cheesy corn. All was delicious! Shared between 3. We couldn't get a table I side but were kept warm by outside heater, blankets and a hot water bottle. Delightful.
Love chicken? Love Asian style food? Must love weird!
This place is a inner city gold mine amongst the mediocrity of so many wannabe casual dining establishments.
If you want a fun, different, casual dining experience try Twelve.
The menu is just fun and oh-so delicious. It may not be the usual type of food you would consider ordering, but who wants the "usual" when you can get the crazy!
Fun night out with a fun menu option. Want to keep that first date light or just want a fun and different view on food?
Surprise yourself and you peers here, I know you’ll be back for more… even if secretly.
Great place for drinks and delicious Korean food. The service staff were very attentive even though they were busy. Arrived around 130am the music was pumping and had a pretty good vibe. They also refund for any unopened soju when closing at 3am. Defs a cool spot!
Delicious Korean food! Love Beef tataki, rice cake, fried chicken and Corn cheese! Great place for gathering.
Nice atmosphere, heating lamps at comfy outdoor seating. Got beers and fried chicken, super friendly staff. Decently clean bathroom as well.
Very nice Korean BBQ and restaurant. Excellent choice of Soju's, the bulgogi was fire! Liked the ambiance and outdoor patio, but the single speaker was not the greatest. Cool spot, definitely recommend and would go back if I was in the mood for more Korean foods!
