Peninsula Chinese Restaurant in Thanet - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a wonderful evening celebrating our wedding anniversary. We selected one of the set menus and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, bursting with flavour. We will definitely be returning very soon.

I called up to order take out and was told take out was fully booked, which I found very odd and disappointing.

As a group of four we were unsure what to order, so we ordered both of the set meals. We were delighted with the result. The food was tasty and everyone was happy with their choices

Visited last night for the first time having walked past the restaurant for over 10 years. Had a delicious meal and the staff were lovely. Grace made us feel extremely welcome and the food was amazing. Couldn’t fault the place! High recommended.

Old fashioned setting but good food. Wine not great. Tasty well flavoured & good quality. Hostess very polite & smiley. Enjoyed it, wide variety of options.

Scored it 5 stars as I don’t want to bin them off, as I know the food is great. However, it opened at 5.30pm on Saturday the 1st of April and I walked through the door to order a takeaway at 5.45 To be told “ we are full up with takeaway orders sorry”. Restaurant was empty. Bizarre.

Great food. My family enjoy the duck wraps, spinning table, lemon and black bean chicken, and prawn crackers. The seating area in the bar feels homely. Staff are friendly and attentive, despite covid restrictions having to happen. Gracie is a brilliant host and seems to remember and value her customers.

I have been eating at the Peninsular Chinese restaurant since my son was a small boy...now 30. The food is deliciously consistent. Food and service fabulous Thank you team Grace ❤

This is one of our go to restaurants as always guaranteed a great meal with Grace and her team. Food always delicious and cooked to perfection. Service is attentive and unhurried.

Grace provides a personal service and the food never fails. Crispy squid, Soft Crab and Prawns are cooked to perfection.

We were staying in Broadstairs for the weekend and decided to try this Chinese restaurant on the Saturday evening as was only 5 minutes from where we were staying. We were welcomed by Grace who is so lovely. The restaurant is spotless. We opted for the set meal for 2 people. The food came out and was delicious and my husband said it was the best he had tasted in a long while. Looking forward to the next time we stay in Broadstairs as will definitely be making another visit.

Best Chinese by far! Food is always consistently good. We love it there and Grace is the perfect host

Have has many meals in this restaurant, both eat-in and takeaway and have never been disappointed. Good food, good service, and Grace is always very friendly.

We were down in Broadstairs for the weekend and the usual restaurant we go to on a Friday evening was fully booked because it was Folk Week (Morris dancers around every corner). We had seen this restaurant from the pub across the road and always wondered what it would be like as we love Chinese food. My husband popped over and booked a table for the Friday evening. He explained that I was in a wheelchair but the lovely lady (I think her name is Grace) said that it was a small restaurant and not really wheelchair friendly but if I could get up three steps she would book the table immediately in front. That was fine for me as I can walk a little way. When we arrived she had booked the first table as you go in and helped me up the three steps and sat me down. We folded up my wheelchair and she very kindly put it in a corner out of the way. The menu in here is very extensive and as we were not sure what we were ordering we opted for a set meal. This started with a selection of things including seaweed, prawns on sezame toast, dumplings, spring rolls and ribs and it was delicious. We then had thin pancakes with cut up lamb, hoi sin sauce, cucumber and spring onions, again absolutely delicious.! The main course was egg fried rice, a chicken dish, a beef dish and sweet and sour vegetables. This was all washed down with a bottle of Chardonnay. The bill was something like £50.00 and Grace helped me back into my wheelchair. Highly recommended as the food is gorgeous but you need to book as the restaurant is small and fills up quickly. We will definitely be going back.

We are regular visitors to Broadstairs, down every few weeks. We make a point of eating here if we can. (We used to live in Hong Kong, so we know our Chinese food!) This is undoubtabley the best Chinese restaurant on the island. The food is outstanding, even though, like most restaurants it has been closed for easting in for the last 14 months due to the Pandemic, however they have changed to being a very successful takeaway, which we have used several times during lockdown. When you get inside, the décor is 1970's Pub Mock Tudor, with Cantonese flourishes, give it another 20 years and you'll have film crews inside. Exceptional food. well worth the visit

This was our first take away since the crisis, and my goodness it was worth the wait.As ever wonderful food. The charm of Grace in her new Covid safe environment.The spicy courgettes, chilli beef, kung-po chicken were superb. Looking at the other comments the old fashioned building could be more attractive but who cares. This beats all the dubious little "cash only" chinese takeaways that manage to get a full meal ready in 10 minutes, and the extra £10 or so is worth every penny.Not a grain of rice left. See you next Friday Grace!

Delicious, freshly prepared good food. Singapore vermicelli is the best I have eaten. When busy the service can be a little slow so book in advance. The service is very good and very friendly too.

Always sUperb ,fab food ,lovely surrounding, And the best hostess ever, Grace ! Will be there for Valentines !!!

We regularly visit Peninsula for Dim Sum as well as formal and informal lunch and dinner. This is an excellent local Cantonese Restaurant that serves good standard food, as well as good service.

This is the second year in a row we have been here for New Years Eve. So glad we did. The food once again was excellent. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great personal service from the owner Grace and her lovely staff. We're fortunate enough that we only live a 5 minute walk away. We will be returning very soon. Highly recommended.

Fantastic atmosphere,fantastic food, grace is lovely Don't go if you are in a hurry this place is all about relaxing and not getting hurried out the doors as some restaurants do , lovely bar area with lots of settees to sit and look at large menu , don't be put off by the outside it could do with a drop of paint ,big car park ,Best Chinese in thanet

A well established Chinese restaurant. A nice feel about the place. Sit in the bar area first relaxing over a drink before being shown to your table. The food is always very nice and plentiful. For a nice relaxed evening I would highly recomend this place.

Six of us went to The Peninsula, on a wet Tuesday evening. Its a large tired looking building with ample parking. Greeted and shown to the bar area, very comfortable seating not typical oriental.We moved into the main eating area which again is not typical. Handed the menus and made our choice, with the assistance of the waitress. She adapt the menu to our requests. Nothing was a problem. Two of the set menus and personal choice. Peking and Cantonese, a vegetarian platter. Drinks were served, the food arrived starters full of flavour and large portions from deep fried Frogs legs to Crab soup all of us enjoyed what we had. The next course of Aromatic Duck succulent with again plenty for four, Veggie spring rolls which were above ample portions. No Rush service, which fitted our mood. The main course arrived non of use had expected what came the smell and flavours was beautiful Chilli and Ginger was there but not over powering to spoil the flavours of the meats and vegetables. Ample rice and noodles to accompany the dishes. For once in an oriental establishment nothing was left we ate every last portion no over sized rice dishes to go back. We have a very lovely experience with the food, atmosphere and staff, who we found out was Grace the owner. I would not hesitate but to recommend the PENINSULA to anyone.

Out first First visit. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Great menu very reasonably priced, and most important of all, good quality. Plenty of street parking as well as a private car park. Would certainly recommend and visit again.

The car park is alongside the building but don’t be put off by the tired look of the outside- the inside is quirky and homely. Settle down in the bar area on a setteeand take your time perusing the wide choice menu and always ask Grace( Hong Kong ) for advice which she is more than happy to do. The dining area isn’t vast but is cozy.It is a good experience to eat somewhere where the owner works their socks off .

I went for a romantic evening on arrival advised The lady I had a gluten allergy. I asked what could I eat The only answer I had what is gluten its in cereal isn’t it! When speaking to the owner of the restaurant she had no idea either I left the restaurant still hungry and not eating anything. Don’t attend this restaurant if you have any allergies cause The don’t understand there still stuck in the 60

We have been going to The Peninsula for many years. Grace always ensues a very warm welcome. The food is always of a high quality with great service. A local gem.

This restaurant is in a very nice building with a spacious bar and a very nice dining room. The service is excellent and the choice of dishes as you would expect from a Chinese restaurant.

Over the last 29 years we have been going to the Peninsula Chinese Restaurant for delicious chinese meals.

Chinese food not loaded with MSG, piping hot, big portions, I came here with my dad last night (Thurs), we had Mixed Hors D'Oeuvres and I was particularly impressed at the non-soggy spring rolls. And then we followed with some singapore rice (quite spicy\curried, very tasty), and noodles and we shared a sizzling seafood dish (lovely mussels and prawns) and a chicken and a beef dish, with a bottle of Chardonnay and a coffee I think it came to £65, very reasonable and I had that lovely feeling throughout the evening and night that comes from eating great food. Waitress is very dedicated and hard working and that seems to be the ethos of the place. Thank you Peninsula and I will be back again.

An enjoyable meal. The aromatic duck was delicious with plenty of pancakes and duck. A reasonable menu. Although there are plenty of Chinese take away s around there are not too many Chinese restaurants. This is well worth a visit. Good service

Had a lovely time, Grace was very welcoming and the cuisine is fantastic. Definitely returning again, totally recommend this restaurant. Superb

We went to this restaurant as it was just around the corner from where we were staying. It wasn't very busy (but we had booked as there were 7 of us). A warm but unfussy welcome, drinks served promptly. Whilst the menu might look a standard Chinese menu, as did the food when it arrived, oh my, it was fantastic. Could not believe the flavours, perfect textures, so good. Chilli beef the best I have ever eaten (and I have worked extensively across the Far East). A traditional restaurant, with fortune cookies to finish which the youngsters thought great fun. Go there before it becomes too crowed, a hidden gem in St Peter's.

Went here for Father’s Day and we had a lovely time. It was busy but we got our food pretty quick and even the drinks order came as quick. The food was lovely, freshly cooked, the staff were very friendly and courteous. I would definitely eat here again

this is an old style restaurant ,the food is brilliant had a bit of a wait but had a drink in bar area and food and service were well worth it ,lovely wine and for what we had I thought in was good value .

I always enjoy the starters and main course here finished off with an Irish coffee.. Some restaurants begin with a very good starter but the taste tails off thereafter - but not here, the fun continues with an excellent array of mains available

Food was absolutely fabulous, authentic and free from additives unlike some Chinese restaurants. Service was friendly and efficient

i had the most amazing family night here. Forget the tired surroundings the food is the key here and it was delicious. A party of 8 we had starters and mains. The duck was amazing, the main course dishes all flavourful and just great

Had a lovely meal, service was good and the food excellent. The outside is very deceiving, much bigger than it looks.

We love this place, spectacular food at reasonable prices for what you get!! You may not notice the restaurant from the outside but once inside it's fab - Grace is lovely X

Fuimos en una noche tranquila de domingo a este pub convertido. La comida era deliciosa, si caro. El servicio era de robots en el mejor de los casos. Este es un muy "LOCAL" de China. Tuve mucho mejor. Yo también he tenido mucho peor. No haría un esfuerzo para volver.

Nunca me ha decepcionado con la comida. El servicio es un poco lento, pero sabes que es fresca. Un poco caro, por lo que actualizar la decoración y alfombra, también casi al el doble acristalamiento ha fallado. Así cobrar precio superior por la comida el lugar debería ser de primera categoría

It felt very much like being welcomed into a home. Very relaxing surroundings and very friendly staff. Premises very clean. Food was excellent. High quality, tasty, freshly cooked and served by friendly attentive staff. Will definitely be going back! EvieB

Grace, su hermana (lo siento, no sé su nombre) y equipo son muy complacientes, la comida es deliciosa y los anfitriones son preciosas (aunque se puede conseguir un poco estresados si hay muchos clientes! ! ) (comprensible). Mi marido y yo hemos estado yendo allí durante años y ahora nos lleve a toda la familia, (todos nosotros 10).

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí con mi marido. El personal era muy amable, el vino era bueno y el servicio eficiente. Tuvimos uno de los menús que ofrece un montón de comida todo era fresco y delicioso. Lo único negativo es que quizás era un poco caro.

Comido aquí con amigos diferentes 3 veces en últimos 2 meses un poco pintoresco y anticuado, pero la mejor que hemos tenido en Thanet altamente recomendado.

Estado viniendo aquí durante años y que no se puede superar! La comida es fantástica y la gracia y sus colegas son maravillosos. Lo recomiendo totalmente!

Aunque la Península es más caro que el promedio vale la pena cada céntimo. No tienen comida chatarra de izquierda. Chili carne crujiente y pegajosas. Costillas capitol suave y se deshace en la boca. Picantes calabacines son fantásticas. Solía ser un 10% de descuento si recoge lo que sería un bonito detalle para devolverle.

Brilliant first impression... Really enjoyed this cozy restaurant... Me and my husband were completely happy to wait in the bar room first, having a chance to look at the menu, get a drink and prawn crackers, then we were seated in the actual restaurant for a main meal which didn't take long to be served although it was busy Valentine's evening. Both had pork dishes - interesting taste, soft texture, wonderful vegetables and sauce... Special rise too... Lovely pot of tea... The ladies working up there are real stars! Many thanks for your hard work and very friendly service!! Will come back there again! Shame we never went to have a meal in Peninsula earlier and missed so many occasions...

1at time visit.owner and staff very welcoming and pleasant,food was delicious,wine was excellent,very enjoyable experience ,not cheap but we'll worth the money.thanks for a nice evening.will be back with the family.

Although I did not book until late in the day for a table of four we arrived at 7pm and were seated in the bar area for drinks where we ordered our food and waited 50 minutes to be seated on the table our starters arrived which were nice we all had a mixed starter we then waited another hour for our main course my wife's prawn and ginger was very nice but my prawns in black bean sauce was very poor with no taste of black been what so ever this is the second time I have been to this restaurant and the waiting time was the same last time would not go back

Had a wonderful meal here. We both had Bang Bang Chicken as a starter. I have Roast Duck Cantonese style & my husband had War Tap Chicken. We were made to feel very welcome and it was nice to be able to sit in the bar area, have a drink while we chose from the menu. Looking forward to going again.

We are local and regular to the restaurant. The service is always friendly. As a vegatarian the set menu is great. The price is slightly more then other local Chinese restaurants but this is completely different to the usual and offers good value for money. All freshly cooked. Also welcoming to families -our daughter likes the fish in the bar area.

This restaurant provided us with a delicious meal in a quiet, spacious seating area. The take-away section was separate, so you were not disturbed by constant comings and goings with carrier bags! The service was excellent and the food amazing.

A little pricier than other Chinese restaurants but it's cooked fresh and not microwaved. Kum po prawns and salt chilli courgettes are probably the best things I've ever had in a Chinese. Very welcoming staff with a lovely chilled out atmosphere.

Its like walking in to a time warp but that only adds to the experience. It was nice sitting in the bar area deciding what we wanted to eat and they even bought out some complimentary prawn crackers whilst deciding. The waitress is lovely and very friendly and the food was very nice, loved the chicken satay. Good atmosphere, would recommend.

Very different to be sat in bar area to order and wait until food is ready - made it a very chilled atmosphere. Food was great and staff were friendly

As always the food was exceptional and excellent value will be going again very soon to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere

Very friendly staff, the food was great, thoroughly recommend the bang bang chicken, very authentic and good value. We will be returning soon.

So me and my friends went to Peninsula because my local Chinese takeaway were closed and so were all the other local Chinese takeaways in the proximity. We had never tried peninsula before and we were not disappointed with the food. We ordered it to takeaway and it was lovely. But it was so expensive! My friend ordered omelette and chips and it was over £10!! We usually pay around £6 for the same thing at our usual Chinese. My order alone came to £22 and I was expecting it to be much less than that as it normally is. However that aside food was lovely and was cooked quickly without delay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, food was great, service was great I liked that there was a small gap between each course, I like the fact that the tables are spread out that you are not too close to other people, will definitely be going back, and would definitely recommend this restaurant

Would recommend this Chinese restaurant, welcoming friendly staff and great food. Very relaxed atmosphere. The only criticism would be how long it took for the food to arrive at the table but as before the staff made up for this.

Why was this place so quiet? We had a fantastic meal. Attentive staff quick service and food well presented. Would definitely go there again. One of the best Chinese meals I've had.

Brilliant food , Peking feast. Great service , lovely place to eat. Thoroughly recmmend to anyone wholikes Chinese

Been to this place so many times over the last 10 years and never had a problem, takeaway is just as good as eating in. By far the best Chinese you can get in Thanet. Lovely friendly staff and a really lovely restaurant with classy interior. Easy to get too and a massive car park. Great portion sizes and huge choice of food and drink menu.

This was our second visit this year as we had thoroughly enjoyed our earlier visit. A drink in the lounge area allows time to peruse the menu and order your first courses. You are taken to your table just before it is ready. Some might be unhappy with portion size as unlike some other restaurants they are not huge, but for us they are fine. The quality and flavour are excellent and are not greasy like many others we have visited. The whole place has a peaceful relaxed quality which makes for a very good evening and the prices are very reasonable compared to many others. We are eagerly looking forward to more visits.

Not so easy to find a chinese restaurant that has food that tastes that extra bit better - but here we are - it does! Add to this an enthusiatic service, and you get a jolly good experience! I must recommend this place.

In my opinion this is the best Chinese take away in broadstairs recently opened in May it is really really good

I went onto Trip advisor to find the best rated Chinese restaurant in Thanet. Recent comments scored The Peninsula way above the rest. As we eat out a lot, my wife and I were looking forward to our evening out. Upon arrival, parking was easy. A food hygiene rating of 5 was visible on the entrance door (a welcoming sight). We were taken to a lounge bar area for a pre dinner drink which was nice. It was obvious that the regulars were out as everyone appeared to be on first name terms. The ambience was ok but very dated. We selected from the menu in the lounge bar area. Whilst drinking we were given a dish of Prawn Crackers which was a nice touch. We were taken to the restaurant area when our starters were ready. The restaurant covers approx. 37 and there were 17 people in total seated. To our disappointed the Mixed Starters was both poor in quantity and quality. We had one small triangle of Prawn Toast each, the 4 pieces of spare ribs were approx. 1 inch each in length and so on. For my main, I ordered the Fillet Steak in Black Pepper Sauce. This dish alone was £11.50. Again the portion served was poor and the meat very tough (you could never ever eat it with chopsticks). All in all, the food was extremely disappointing. To make matters worse, from behind a mobile screen just feet away from our table, we could hear on several occasions leftovers being scrapped off plates presumably into a rubbish bin. We went back into the lounge bar for coffee which was nice and relaxing. Further complimentary coffee was offered as well. Then without exaggeration approx. 120 pieces of cutlery was tipped onto a towel on the bar where the staff dried them. Again not particularly good. The owner Grace was very attentive, pleasant and friendly. Obviously the local loyal customers love The Peninsular but for my wife and I, it is very average and over priced. It is unlikely that we will go back which is a shame. One other note, the toilets are situated down a flight of 14 stairs which could be troublesome for some.

Nice comfortable restaurant with friendly and efficient service. The menu was fairly standard but the food was tasty and well presented and not heavy on the MSG. Very reasonably priced. A good choice for a family night out.

Although not a frequent visitor, this has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Having first visited about twenty years ago, the quality of the food does, if anything, seem better. Coupled with the enthusiasm of the staff and excellent service, it is definitely one to try. I will certainly not leave it so long before visiting again.

Lovely food and great service would highly recommend it.will definitely be going again soon the sweet chilli beef was the best ive tasted

We went last night and again the experience was super..the owners even remembered us as we had not been in for over 10 years as we had emigrated overseas.The duck always does it for us so the 3 of us smashed a whole duck with pancakes sauce ,,you know the drill.Busy for a wed night service top notchnice one!

This Chinese restaurant does the best Crispy Chilli Beef - EVER! it literally melts in the mouth. My daughter and I went there and the service was excellent! We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. The service was unrushed, and no I dont mean slow, it was like a proper evening out, very relaxed and we did not have mains coming out before we had finished our starters - like some places you go these days - I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Chinese food - its the best :-).

This was my second visit and the food was just as delicious as on my first visit. I highly recommend the Kung Po King Prawns as they are define.Can't wait until my next visit to this lovely little gem

Went with my wife on Valentine's day. Not our first visit and definitely not the last. The food was excellent, best Chinese restaurant we have been to. Grace and her staff were very welcoming and attentive. Ideal for couples and families.

My daughter and I visited this restaurant this weekend and it was a brilliant Chinese Restaurant with the best Crispy Chilli Beef we have ever eaten. It actually melted in the mouth and was so crispy. The staff were really welcoming, friendly and nothing was rushed or too much trouble, we had a throughly enjoyable evening which made a change from most restaurants these days who just want you in and out within a hour and a half. Would highly recommed this place to anyone - you cannot fault the food or service

This was honestly one of the best meals I've had - absolutely wonderful. Can't praise it enough….I'd say the food was better than any I have had in China or Hong Kong, or even the much praised Chinese restaurant in Tokyo's Imperial Hotel. FABULOUS!

Myself and my sister came here for a meal last night and I now can't wait to return. The staff were very professional and the food was some of the best Chinese I have ever eaten ! The decor maybe a little dated but I didn't mind this in the slightest ,as found it very cosy and relaxing. I have moved recently to the area and can see this will now be a restaurant that I will enjoy visiting again and again !

As alway the welcome is great the decor is like stepping back in time to the eighties but the food is very good the service it not fast but this is because all the food is cooked from fresh and it is worth the wait,even the take away side of it you are given a time slot well worth a visit if you can get in the weekend is busy but midweek is usually ok great food great people.

Booked here for a birthday treat. This was the first time I had been to the peninsula. Had a great meal in an 'interesting' ambiance - not your usual Chinese restaurant, more like a quaint English tea shop! Thoroughly lovely evening and I'd certainly go back again.

I have frequented this restaurant as well as others over the past year but the friendly, personal service and quality of the food at the Peninsula stands out by far. I have always felt very welcomed an the service is prompt. I've never had to wait longer than average for the food to arrive and staff are always able to recommend dishes if I fancy something a little different. The menu itself contains all the regulars but also certain dishes I have not experienced elsewhere which are decent in size, hot, not greasy/salty/stuffed with MSGs and reasonably priced. I find some earlier comments give an unfair representation of this superb little restaurant.

We booked this on the basis of being the top ranked Chinese in the area and it did not disappoint in any way. We were down for the weekend from London with 4 kids. The food was faultless and the portions were large. The kids are fussy eaters but they devoured every dish. The seaweed was crispy and not oily at all. The spring rolls were hot and crispy with succulent vegetables inside. The Peking Duck was crispy and very tasty. Our favourite main dish was the shredded chilli beef although this was not hot but sweet. The decor is dated but that does not detract, The service was excellent. We will definitely return.

Felt a bit like the 70s. Phoned 2 days before to book a table and upon arrival had to wait 40 mins ( was Easter Friday). Food average but didn't feel professional

Visited England a couple of weeks ago, and my hosts pretty much insisted that we visit their favorite Chinese restaurant. Now, I know why. We didn't have reservations, but Grace (the owner) told us we'd be able to dine after a short wait. It's a very small place with a comfortable lounge area and maybe 12-15 tables in the dining room. We were seated in the lounge and enjoyed a cocktail or two while waiting for our table. Surprisingly, our orders were taken while still in the lounge. I work in the restaurant business, and I've never seen this, but it was a very nice touch. When we were seated at our table, our starters were already there and delicious. I wanted a change to the item I ordered (chicken with Chinese mushrooms and bamboo shoots). I requested some heat and it was delivered. While not overwhelming, there was a perfect amount of spicy heat added to the dish. When Grace checked on our meal, I not only complimented her on the dish, but also on the chopsticks. In the US, I've only ever been issued wooden chopsticks that are still attached at the end, but these were different, some sort of heavy plastic or porcelain. Anyway, after the meal, Grace brought me a set of those chopsticks to take home with me. It was a small gesture, but immensely gratifying. I hope to visit again one day. You should make the effort to find Peninsula and be treated better than you are at home with awesome food to boot. Thanks Grace!

Decided to try this restaurant for the first time in a long time. Very slow service despite not being busy at first (7pm booking) and quite ordinary menu. Seated behind a screen so couldn't see staff to get their attention until they came out which was not good. Small portion of ribs and not a lot of chicken in the main compared to veg. Not cheap and on the whole not worth the drive and therefore no alcohol!! Will stick to the New China in town in future...

Had a large takeaway and binned the lot never never again absolute disgusting please save your money !!!!

The best Chinese restaurant in Thanet. Fantastic food, friendly staff with the added bonus of beautifully laundered and starched table clothes and napkins. Try the deep fried squid with spiced salt, alongside the duck with orange, a firm favourite for us! The feasts are good value too!

Although this restuarant appears dated don't be fooled! It is authentic, atmospheric and perfectly inkeeping with the meal. The food is devine, well cooked, delicious in every way and well presented. We had a set meal which was perfect, not too much or too little. It is served at a pace that ensures you enjoyed each course. The staff were friendly, polite but not invasive. I would totally recommend you visit this lovely little place, you wont be disappointed.

Cannot fault this service and food, great value for money. Beautifully cooked food, prestented well at a steady pace, although busy did not feel like we were being rushed through the courses.

This very Chinese restaurant has to have all the praise in the world.It was decked out with all the Chinese paintings,ornaments,and fish tanks.The tables were fully furnished with lovely pink tablecloths,chopsticks,and a big lazy susan.Our waitress was the owner and we talked to her nearly all night inbetween eating her fabulous food.The egg fried rice,prawns,chilli beef,chicken noodles,sweet and sour chicken,prawn satays,and crispy duck were to die for and very tasty too.All the family were overwhelmed how good the food was compared to other Chinese we have every week.As we were on holiday in Broadstairs I wish this restaurant was nearer but it will be first on our visit or holiday again.We all love you GRACE for your food and hospitality.

Well worth a visit for great food in a relaxed atmosphere. We had the Chef's feast for 5 & it did not let us down. The chicken & melon is a superb dish enjoyed by both the adults & children. Service was laid back, which may not be to everyones taste. Large portions which fed 5 adults & 3 children with plenty left to take home.Will visit again for sure.

We don't use this place enough. We came here twice recently, once with my brother and sister-in-law and again with my step daughter and step son. Both times we had the Chef's Special, which was wonderful, though different each time. The wine was good, and it was great to have a relaxed meal without feeling rushed. We were in there for 4 hours the 2nd time, and didn't know where the time went!

Defiantly the best Chinese this side of china town fresh tasty and just perfect, Staff are friendly and service is good many great dishes on the menu so be sure you will be back

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant. The food is amazing here and is always brought out extremely quickly. The service is always excellent and the ladies are lovely. The crispy chilli beef is a must.

We were lured by the high rating; a friend had also been and did not recall any problems (although it was 'rather expensive'). It started well - the reception area looked quite posh, and we were greeted cordially. As they had no Mao Tai ('too expensive now'), we tried to order the other Chinese liquor on the menu as an aperitif... 'No, we don't have'. OK, back to Western staples. For the meal though we'll have a Tsingtao. 'No, we don't have, no Chinese alcohol'. OK, just a basic Spitfire then. 'No we don't have now, only Masterbrew'. What about the cider? 'No, we don't have'. Hmm, so much for the menu. (Some of the desserts we ordered later were also 'not available'.)Our group included one vegan and one ovo-lacto-pesco-vegetarian, so as normal we asked for suggestions and after they'd consulted the chef/kitchen, we were told what was OK for each one. The vegan dish then arrived with egg, shrimp etc. all over. We explained to the waitress (who evidently hadn't been told, and didn't really seem to understand what vegan meant), so they replaced it very promptly - at such times one always wonders whether they simply pick the stuff out, but we didn't want to cause trouble. The aubergine balls were very nice, although the vegan who'd ordered them on the understanding they'd be OK wasn't convinced they were actually egg-free. And at the end, as there were no obviously suitable options for dessert, the vegan ordered a coffee with liqueur... which came full of cream.The meat food was all OK, although nothing particularly special. The frogs' legs tasted a bit salty/muddy.At the end, the bill was quite high, as expected. We were also kept waiting for at least 5-10 minutes (it felt longer) while the owner chatted to another guest (presumably a 'regular') with credit card machine in hand. There was nobody else in the restaurant. Our conclusion was that if this was the service they provide when not under pressure, we didn't want to risk coming back when they had a full house. Overall, given the number of items 'unavailable' and the appalling treatment of the vegan, we felt quite disappointed.

Grace is just the most welcoming host and we feel like family when we visit.The food is very tasty with Egg Foo Young banished to microwaveable take away joints elsewhere. Lovely authentic dishes and quite large portions so you can get away with less and prices are competitive. Chilli Beef very tasty and chicken with sweet hot peanut sauce served cold so quite different. Crispy salty courgette georgous.So much better than an eat all you can banquet and a great experience altogether.

We have been eating here for about 14 years and have never had anything but a superb meal. Grace and Jackie are like good friends. We have brought all our family and friends here and all love it - including our daughter and son-in-law who were living in Hong Kong at the time and who praised the Peninsula food highly. We first tried it because a taxi driver recommended it as the restaurant he took many of his fares to. Try it!

We ate here with friends at the weekend having never been before. When we got there we were shown into a bar area where we had a drink and told to choose our food. When the starters were ready we were taken through to our table. The decor is quaint and we thought that actually added to the ambience. The lady serving us was really nice and friendly and accommodating regarding my husbands allergy. The food was superb. Really fresh tasting and everything was really tasty. My favourite were the fried courgettes! So nice! We had quite a lot of food between the 4 of us-2 bottles of wine and the men had about 3 or 4 beers each and bill worked out at about £70 per couple which was well worth the money. We will definitely be going back!

My family & I have been visiting Grace & Jackie who run the restaurant for about 15yrs now. We went again last month and as always, the food was EXCELLENT! We had mixed hors deurves to start, crispy duck & pancakes (yum) followed by Lamb in garlic sauce, twice cooked pork and salted courgette which was absolutely delicious! Good choice of beers/wines and service impeccable. All in all, I don't think we have found any other Chinese restaurant as good as this one in the area so will continue to visit and recommend to others.........just don't be put off by the slighted dated decor!
