    Second time in one year. Good friendly service. Very bright banquet hall feeling. Good Russian food and enjoyable entertainment.

    Birthday celebrations galore

    This place is a hoot! It is a jampacked night filled with tons of entertainment, and so much food! I was a guest at a birthday dinner party couple weeks ago on a Saturday night and I must say I have never heard of this place before. It is tucked away in a small plaza in Studio City and parking is free for the most part unless you choose to valet. Inside you'll find a banquet hall type of settings where each table is reserved for special parties. As far as the food goes, you name it and they have it. They served as different types of fish, lobster salad, shrimp, cocktail, chicken, duck, kebabs, steak, etc., the courses were never ending and there was unlimited amounts of wine and some kind of hard liquor. As far as entertainment goes, there were belly dancers, there was Marilyn Monroe impressionist, there was a DJ for dancing, and multiple live singers as well. Almost everything is in Russian though and since I don't understand Russian, I wasn't sure what was going on most of the time, but some songs were in English and the belly dancing was toArabic music and I think they played a couple of Armenian songs as well. It is definitely a place to go if you want to experience a Russian style banquet party and as far as pricing goes, I'm not too sure how much it cost but I'm pretty sure it is quite expensive!!

    Fantastic new restaurant with Las Vegas style entertainment and reasonable Russian foods adds to a great evening fun and memorable experience if you are into paying high price for all night dancing and drinking and eating! I recommend that you try everything once. The foods are not as elaborate or memorable as the famous Maxim Russian restaurant at Fairfax, but for $120 per person, it was decent and deserves 5 stars for the service staffs and excellent entertainment as well! Herring and pickled white fish for cold foods were delicious and freshly oven cooked white cod was definitely delicious. Please, try! You must for a very special occasion!

    We celebrate my friends birthday at Premier for the first time. To be honest, I was not expecting too much from Russian restaurant. As I know how rude customer services in that places. Well, I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Everything starting from food to service and show was amazing. Never tried such a fresh and delicious food in banquette restaurants. The owner Sam is very sweet person, we had a pleasure to meet him. Also the manager Arsen always there making sure everything looks good. Thank you to the premier team for amazing experience. We definitely will come back! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5

    Thank you for wonderful hospitality, great atmosphere. tasty food . Good Music . We celebrated a friends birthday and it was really nice.

    Worst Customer Service Ever! Made me pay $25 for entry + Cognac drink. Then 10 minutes later asked me to leave in the impolite way. They kept asking me not to stand with the drink next to dance floor, even though I had no other place to stay or sit. I asked what was the problem, and they said you finish this drink and get out! This is after we delivered Flowers to their business, I still had to pay $25 to get in and be kicked out without reason!

    Great Russian food and live entertainment. My family visited a few months ago for a birthday. The food comes in courses and corkage is accepted. Infact it's recommended.

    Like seriously? You guys better wash your products before cooking and putting it on the table. We were there yesterday-great music (pretty loud though), amazing singers, we had amazing server Andrew. The food was great that we decided to take everything home, whatever we didn't finish -and this morning I'm eating breakfast and the parsley has caterpillar on it. I don't know how many I ate until I noticed the first one! It's not a poison but emotionally very disturbing. How you guys can serve food like that?? It's a violation! Not properly washed -only that's why 1 Star. That can go to the court right here

    The dance floor!

The interior was quaint with lots of Russian decor elements. Service was also friendly. The menu is broad with lots of Russian options, and there is even a lunch combo/special option for weekdays from 11AM-3PM that comes with a side, small bowl of soup, and traditional kompot drink. We decided to order a lunch combo (chicken kotleti) as well as the Á la Kalinka dish. The chicken kotleti was basically a ground chicken meatball that was served with a sauce reminiscent of cocktail sauce. The rice was garnished with fresh dill. The Á la Kalinka beef stew was very flavorful with whole peppercorns, tomato, and bay leaves, and was unexpectedly spicy. I loved that it was served piping hot. Although the portion of beef in the stew was generous, some pieces were a bit tough. Both dishes came with pickled cabbage slaw. I really enjoyed the hot borscht soup, it even had a few chunks of beef inside (granted, I love beets). I really enjoyed the kompot drink, but was a little irked when there was a charge for the drink. Admittedly, we were served a full carafe of kompot, and the explanation I received was that the lunch combo only comes with a single small glass, but I would have appreciated being asked if I wanted to pay for a larger volume drink. I was also asked if I wanted bread, which cost $3.50. Again, I have nothing against charges for these things, but it would be better to be more transparent upfront that there will be charges instead of just adding it to the bill. Ultimately, food was a bit pricey but was very tasty and there isn't much Russian food around. I still had a nice overall meal experience.

The show was interesting and entertaining as well! Our server Gayane was very attentive and friendly, always checking on us, and maintaining a clean table. If you are party of 6 and/or more, they offer a set menu with a different price range ($135, $175, $250 p/p). Since we were only party of 2 we had to order from a menu. Cheese platter, salmon carpaccio, vinaigrette salad, wague beef, & bronzino. A manager or the owner came to our table with a plate of lamb chops, as a token of appreciation, that was very sweet-thank you! Everything was delicious, however, if you really hungry the portions are small, it won't satisfy you. We had a big lunch earlier, so we felt great with it. Another great touch was, they have a photographer that goes around the whole evening, and takes pictures of the guests. Within few minutes you get an offer of purchasing your pic in a nice frame for $20 (a fare price in my opinion). Even though we didn't need all 3 pics of us, we still purchased them all in support of the photographer's business. In all, yes it's pricey, and adds up quickly, but absolutely worth it! We will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant for a birthday celebration, or even if you just want a special evening with your significant one.

The food is so fresh and homemade and gives you a true taste of Russian/Ukrainian food! Our go-to's are always the Borscht soup, Darniskty Salad, Pelmeni, and Chicken Tabaka. They also always bring out some fresh Russian bread for FREE and they are super giving on the portion. The soup is a 10/10, reminds me of the Hong-Kong style borscht soup. Comforting, healthy, and hearty! The salad is by far the major reason I keep coming back. The dill, fresh tomato slices, salty onion, and cucumber with a little zest is so tasty and again super healthy! The pelmeni and tabaka are classics you can never go wrong with. The pelmeni also reminds me of Chinese pork dumplings and are absolutely delicious with their fresh sour cream dipping sauce. Our recent visit, we were sat on the exterior part of their restaurant and it was a bit chilly and windy so the owner provided me and my partner blankets! How sweet and thoughtful. Service is super friendly, just be mindful that it can be a little slow occasionally depending on reserved parties that day.

Today, however, I went with one of their signature items--chicken blintzes in porcini mushroom sauce. The dish was simply incredible, the baked crepe covered in cheese, the meat filling delicious, super tender, just melting in your mouth. Especially when you dip a piece of the blintzes into the mushrooms sauce, it's a homerun. Plethora of flavors all working beautifully together to give you that "Oh Woooow" feeling of satisfaction. Definitely a must try here. The design here is rustic, old school Ukrainian-Russian, with a lot of wood finishes. The customer service here is consistently amazing. Will definitely be back again!

    I like your original because it has personality. I tightened it up while **keeping your "gun to her…read morehead" line**, your humor, and your storytelling style. Oh man... I wish I could give **no stars** or maybe even **minus one star**. I have lived in this city for over 30 years, and I frequently go out for dinner. I love ethnic food and enjoy trying new restaurants. But **THIS**. I repeat, **THIS** was the most shocking and truly unbelievable restaurant experience I have ever had. My spouse and I like to eat late, so we checked Yelp to see if there were any restaurants in the North Hollywood area open later than 9:00 p.m. We found this one with a 4-star rating. Wow... not bad. I didn't bother reading the 1-star reviews. LOL. My mistake. The menu sounded great, although a bit pricey, so we decided to give it a try. After what we experienced, I'm honestly amazed this place is still allowed to be open. It really makes me wonder whether the city ever checks on some of these restaurants. As soon as we parked, we heard incredibly loud music. We assumed there was a private party or some kind of celebration. But when we walked through the patio area and into the restaurant, we discovered the inside was empty. The music blasting from the stage was so loud that my spouse and I couldn't even understand each other. Then a woman came out from some door--maybe the kitchen, I have no idea. Oh my God... she looked like she had just gotten out of bed. Her demeanor was so unfriendly and unwelcoming that I was honestly in awe. She looked absolutely miserable. My spouse practically had to yell just to tell her we'd rather sit on the patio, hoping it would be a little quieter. It wasn't. Two men were sitting at a table across from us with all kinds of equipment, and behind us sat a couple with two children. As I always try to be friendly, I smiled and said, "Hi, how are you?" She looked at me almost in disbelief and forced herself to smile as if someone were holding a gun to her head and making her do it. Then she took our drink order and disappeared. Meanwhile, one of the children behind us started screaming and yelling. Of course, the parents couldn't have cared less. I honestly don't understand why some parents think that when their kids behave like bloody little brats, screaming and yelling, everyone else in the restaurant is supposed to enjoy it too. No, we do **NOT**. Teach your kids how to behave in public. It worked pretty well when we boomers were growing up! Anyway... back to the restaurant. Our lovely, oh-so-friendly waitress eventually came back. Still no drinks. Somehow, after the way she treated us, we weren't even surprised anymore. We ordered our food, and off she went again with her incredibly "welcoming" attitude. Then, all of a sudden, those two men across from us got up and went to the stage. They turned out to be the night's entertainers. The music had already been painfully loud, but once they started singing, it became even louder. The funny part was... who exactly were they performing for? The restaurant inside was empty, and outside there was only one family and us. After a while, I turned to my spouse and said, "I think they're singing to themselves." After enduring about two songs, my spouse quietly told me that the couple behind us had started smoking. My back was toward them, so I hadn't noticed. That was the final straw. We certainly did **NOT** expect people to be smoking while we were trying to eat in a restaurant. We looked at each other and said, "Nope. We've had enough." A cranky, unfriendly waitress, two guys singing so loudly I'm sure the entire neighborhood could hear them, screaming children, and now cigarette smoke? No, thank you. My spouse went inside hoping to find our waitress so we could let her know we were leaving, but she was nowhere to be found. At that point, we simply walked out. We have never done that before, but this experience was completely unacceptable. Between the miserable service, the deafening music, the singers performing for practically nobody, and people smoking while others were trying to eat, this was, without question, the worst restaurant experience we've ever had. Stay away from this excuse for a restaurant.
