    Execellent quality. Quick service. Cheap food. I'm giving this restaurant the perfect grade because the quality of their meat is worth more than PHP 580 (fee for unlimited chicken, pork, beef, and side dishes). While some unli samgyup restaurants focus on the quantity rather than the quality, Premier has found the balance to both. I can boldly say that they are better than Samgyupsalamat. My group's waiting time was shorter than the rest because we were early, so I suggest coming in at 5 to 6 PM to avoid long waiting times. The restaurant actually has two floors - one on the ground floor and another on the 4th floor. There were more servers on the second floor so the service was faster. The staff was very quick to respond to our requests. They also checked up on our table quite frequently to see if they needed to change the grill. They also offered to cook it for us for no additional fee, or to cut the meat for us. The place was also clean and bright. The only downside is that they have pretty small grill hoods so most times the smoke was everywhere and by the end of it, my friends and I smelled like walking samgyups. Grill hood aside, this is now my go-to samgyup place. I just wished I discovered this place sooner.

    We came from NY to the Philippines only to craving Korean BBQ. We paid a driver from our hotel to take us to and from which was a great idea because during our drive he showed us around a bit. Right when we got to Premier there was a 'security guys' asking if we had reservations (which we didn't) and he told us that they were full. As we walked away, he called us back over and told us there was room upstairs. In this building of where Premier is, is three floors... the main entrance being on the street level. He took us up to the third floor with another group of girls, we went into this back entrance all the way up. Place was very very clean and the staff was very attentive. We were a bit confused on their menu but our waiter was able to explain. Dinner for two (not limited meat): $22 The food was delicious! I would recommend.

    I don't know a whole lot about Korean food but I do know that the wide variety of dishes I was served all tasted very good. And I was served a lot. I ordered the seasoned beef spareribs and that one order came with 13 different small sides. It was too much food for one person. My only thought is that there needs to be less side dishes and more main course. It's a very inexpensive place but I'd be willing to pay more for a larger main course. The place is a bit smoky from the style of cooking. It's part of the ambience. The decor is minimal. Lots of stainless steel and ducting for vents. Service is fast and friendly and they're open 24 hours.

    Changing the pot right after it's cooked. Good service.

    It took us awhile to forgive Samgyupsalamat. At their Kapitan Tikong branch months ago, we were…read morevery unsatisfied with the tough meat they served us. We used to be regular customers there so we knew our meat. Our visit at this new branch redeemed us as regular customers again. We were so happy to be surprised by the extra space they have at the back; you'd think the branch is small if you only took a peek from the outside. It was a bit warm at first but they adjusted the aircon later on. Walls were painted black even in the restroom. Overall place looked simple and had that hole-in-the-wall vibe. Cleaning the front windows looks necessary though it amusingly matches the restaurant vibe. Service was good since they always got what we needed at fair waiting times. Refills came back loaded with food and the water pitcher really kept the service water cold. The free veggie leaves, dips, side dishes, steamed egg, and soup were impressive to the eyes and tongue. Be careful with the steamed egg because the bowl was insanely hot! We ordered two meats ala carte and they were excellent both in texture and flavor! To the management team: Thank you for impressing us, and we can only hope and wish you maintain the good quality of your food and service. Forget what I said about the windows; they still pass! :p

They were all attentive very warm. My sibling ordered the menu A . As they were serving the different meats and condiments , I saw a small cockroach crippling on one of the raw meat. I told the waiter and they immediately replaced the meat and apologized. It was disgusting yet for them to immediately resolved the problem was nice. Yet still unhealthy and unsafe seeing creatures crawling. I didn't eat the meat. The condiments were average. You have to ask for some dish that they don't offered. Like pickled radish, bean sprout, soup, rice is extra pay . They didn't let us pay for the rice and gave us free cofffee drink for the cockroach inconvenient. It's a nice restaurant yet attention needs to be addressed on safe handling and sanitation. Thank you .

    I really wanted to like this place, but I was quite disappointed with the meat dishes. We were…read moretold by the server that all of their meat is tender, but that was not true. We chose to have them grill the meat for us, and the first dish had an after taste of the gas they might have used. The second dish were the short ribs. They were very tasty, but unfortunately very chewy. I opted to eat the soups and vegetable dishes that we ordered. I enjoyed the egg pancake that we ordered. I like that they are open 24/7, but I wish their meat was more tender. I guess I am just accustomed to going to other Korean barbecue restaurants in which the meat is both tasty and tender. I liked that they had unlimited banchan (side dishes). It was nice that they gave us complimentary coffee at the end of the meal, although our birthday celebrant stated that the coffee tasted like it was from a 3-in-1 coffee packet. I thought that maybe they would have good desserts? Unfortunately, they do not have any desserts on their menu.

It looked a bit small from outside but once they opened the restaurant, we stepped in and noticed how far back those seats go! Interior's another thing; very well-lit, inviting with a sunset palette and lively vibe despite us being the first customers. The crowd started building up later on and when we left, a number of tables were already filled. FOOD Since this was a first-time visit, we focused on the pork options since there were already 8 to choose from (and 2 for chicken). Unfortunately, we had no more room for chicken either because we were SO FULL from all the delicious meats and banchan (side dishes). Skirt Meat and Rack were the most meaty while the Pork Belly, if cooked right, would give ya a nice chicharon experience! Cheeks were actually cute and very interesting to eat. We made sure to cut them into smaller pieces midway, because they are curled up like me when I sleep sideways. Gotta get all angles cooked! Cooking, overall, was so fun and we took turns doing it so the other could have more time to eat; teamwork! Free spicy soup was available but I passed on that and focused more on the fish cake-type of banchan plus the cheese dip for the meats. This place offers very satisfying options! SERVICE Everyone did very well! They were easy to call for assistance regarding the grilling surface, refills and bill payment. Knowledge of the menu was also apparent.
