If you're looking for a restaurant with a great atmosphere in Gangnam, 'Twelve' located in House of Shinsegae is highly recommended.

Compared to other popular restaurants in Gangnam, the waiting time is shorter, and there's plenty of seating, allowing you to enjoy delicious food in a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Twelve is a place that satisfies not only the ambiance but also the quality of food and service.

Here's a review based on three visits in March, April, and June of '25!

Atmosphere at Twelve – Cozy and Relaxing

Twelve Gangnam boasts the most spacious seating arrangement and quiet atmosphere within House of Shinsegae. Unlike other stores with long waits, Twelve is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed dining experience in Gangnam. The warm wood tones and cozy lighting create a comfortable atmosphere throughout your meal. It's a great restaurant for various occasions, including dates, meeting friends, and business meetings.

I visited Twelve three times in April of '25 to host my wedding invitation gatherings and a housewarming party!

Recommended Dishes – High-End Cuisine in Gangnam

Twelve's luxurious dining menu offers not only delicious flavors but also artistic plating. Here are some recommended dishes:

놀라운 광경

(Visit 1) French Onion Soup (₩22,000), Warm Kale & Hummus Salad (₩27,000)

I loved the French Onion Soup so much that I ordered it on all three visits! Everyone who tried it enjoyed it, so I highly recommend the French Onion Soup! bb


(Visit 1) Bread, Spinach & Cheese Ravioli (₩35,000)

The bread was shaped like a cute mushroom, studded with nuts, and perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! I loved it!

It's also great for dipping in French Onion Soup or pasta sauce!

평화로운 풍경

(Visit 2) French Onion Soup (₩22,000), Black Truffle Risotto (₩41,000), Pork Chop Milanese (₩53,000)

On this day, I visited Twelve with two friends for a wedding invitation gathering. Of course, we ordered the Onion Soup again, and this time I ordered two new dishes reflecting my friends' tastes! The Black Truffle Risotto left a pleasant, strong truffle flavor in my mouth, and the Pork Chop Milanese tasted similar to schnitzel I had in Austria. The beans that came with it were surprisingly good.

희망찬 내일

(Visit 3) Grilled Octopus (₩30,000), Burrata Salad (₩26,000), French Onion Soup (₩22,000), Braised Short Ribs (₩99,000)

I think it was in June when we had dinner together for a housewarming party. Of course, we had the Onion Soup that day as well! At this point, you should definitely order the French Onion Soup! ㅎㅎ The prices are a bit high overall, but the balance of flavors was great!

Service – Friendly Staff, Comfortable Dining

The service at Twelve Gangnam was excellent. The staff kindly explained the dishes and took good care of our needs, making our dining experience comfortable. They proactively replaced our plates and allowed us to pay at the table, which was great!

Overall – A Relaxing Meal Near the Gangnam Express Bus Terminal

Twelve is the perfect place to enjoy luxurious dining in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere in Gangnam. Even within House of Shinsegae, you can spend a comfortable time without waiting, making it a popular restaurant for many people. The quality of food and service are both excellent, making it a must-visit place for those who want a restaurant recommendation.

Twelve Gangnam is a restaurant that can be visited for various occasions such as dates, business meetings, and family gatherings. I recommend enjoying a special day at Twelve, which provides a perfect experience with atmosphere, food, and service!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
