Why Travelers Love Twelve Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Very good service, very big portion of foods! Impressive Korean foods in CBD. Easy to organize the bills with friends since the cashier person is very professional. Great food, excellent service, and budget-friendly prices this place has it all! The flavors were spot on, and each dish was well-prepared and satisfying. The staff was attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a restaurant that offers delicious meals without breaking the bank, this is definitely a must-try. Will definitely be coming back again and again. 😄😄 The food portions were great, and the staff was super friendly! As a first-time customer, I wasn’t too impressed with what I ordered. The half-and-half was just okay—I liked the original flavor, but it was a bit disappointing that it didn’t come with any dipping sauce. You have to order it separately, which is cheap, but I feel like plain fried chicken should always come with a sauce by default. As for the yangnyeom flavor, I didn’t like it because it was too sour for me. Maybe the other flavors are better, but I’m not sure yet!

The Salmon Sashimi Salad was so fresh but what I'll keep coming back for is the fried chicken 💯

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.
