About the restaurant
It's perfect for
a celebratory dinner built around sharing, where the large plates take centre stage
You need to try
any of the large sharing plate - the format here is built for the table, not the individual
Look out for
the open fire kitchen that keeps the drama visible throughout the meal
One Twenty 8 sits at the heart of Crowne Plaza Auckland on Albert Street, a bold fire-driven dining destination that puts flame, smoke and New Zealand's finest producers front and centre. The kitchen works directly with local growers and fishers, transforming premium red meats and fresh-caught fish through smoking, charring and flame-finishing to coax out deep, complex flavour. Asian flair runs throughout - fermented accents, vibrant dressings and unexpected umami hits that bring a modern edge to every plate. Large sharing plates sit alongside smaller bites, making it equally suited to a relaxed weekday dinner or a proper celebration.
