This is my third time visiting Penninsular and it'll be my 4th tomorrow. I honestly cannot rate it highly enough. The food is amazing quality. The taste and freshness cannot be mistaken and the staff are very accommodating. It has become a fast favourite for me and my friends and I am returning with my family whom i know will be just as impressed. We have a range of dietary requirements in our group and there is always enough for everyone to indulge and enjoy.

Visited the Peninsular tonight. Lovely welcome from Carol. When the food came it was absolutely lovely. We had vegetarian sung. Then fish fillet in sweet and sour sauce. Also fried duck in hoisin sauce. Everything was hot and tasty. Beautifully cooked. Very efficient wee waiter as well. Lovely visit and food.

I came for an evening meal with my father on a Friday night, we arrived early to a very warm polite reception from all the staff, the service and attention to our needs was exceptional as was the quality of food and portion size. The ambience in the bar area was pleasant. The only constructive improvement area I could offer was the toilets could do with upgrading and some light redecoration work in the restaurant but this was so outweighed by the service we were given. I have been to many fine dining restaurants and not enjoyed the night as much as at the peninsular. We will definitely be coming again

Duck in Plum sauce, has tiny sauce pot on the side. The £6.70 spring rolls are so small they fit in the palm of your hand. The Singapore Vermicelli noodles didn't have as much flavour as the ones I have ordered elsewhere. The special fried rice was more like boiled rice with stuff mixed in. I have eaten inside Peninsular and it was amazing so I can't believe how terrible this delivery experience was. I pray that there restaurant food hasn't sunk this far and wouldn't recommend getting it delivered after my experience. No prawn crackers included either for almost £50 which is very unusual. So disappointed!

Where do i start?...We have been having take out meals from this resturant for many many years, it was my mothers birthday and she told the family she would like to go for a meal here at the peninsular.As we all like the food here normally, we agreed and was all looking forward to it. There was 8 adults and my child who is 5.Firstly we arrived and the resturant was cold, so we had to sit in our coats!!!We placed our order and our starters come out in bits and drabs around 45 mins after we arrived so we couldnt eat toether, after visiting other resturants some of the portion sizes were very small for the price.After waiting a hour after our starters our main meal finally arrived but by that time, none of us were even that hungry so it was already ruined before we started to eat.There were several people who arrived after us and were eating way before us, when we asked why the staff were extremly rude and the one male said 'they were in a queue' , whatever the hell that means.I queue to me means if someone arrives before you they also get served before you, obviously not the case here. We were not asked if we wanted drinks, we had to keep asking and didnt end up leaving the resturant until 9.45pm.For a mother with a young child this service is awful, and iv had a very tired child today.All in all my mothers birthday meal was a disaster, will NEVER be coming back here again!!!!!!!!

The Peninsular is long established and is widely recognised as being the Sutton Coldfield / Streetly / Aldridge area’s premier Cantonese and Chinese restaurant. The food is always freshly cooked to order and is of the highest quality…and there is plenty of it as the portions are very generous. There is always a warm welcome from the staff, who have all been there for several years and form a great support team for Carol, the owner. They allow you plenty of time to have a good look at the extensive menu and then if necessary they will guide you through the various dishes and provide more information / suggestions. As well as having John Smiths and Carling on draught, theres also a good selection of bottled beers plus a comprehensive wine list. All in all, the Peninsular continues to go from strength to strength providing reasonably priced excellent food and drink of the highest standards

Totally disappointed - we ordered half crispy duck and it was dry and chewy. Might as well have chucked £20 down the drain. One green curry - chicken -and one red curry - prawn. Both swimming in thin sauce, the chicken looked anaemic - hardly a green sauce - both curry vegetables were undercooked and crudely chopped into large unappetising pieces. Two portions of boiled rice - clumped together stodge - not light fluffy grains as we had expected. Overpriced and poor quality.

Nice Chinese restaurant and take-away if desired. Staff are pleasant and helpful, and food is delicious. The buffet they provide on Sundays is excellent - it is 'eat as much as you like'.

This is a nice local restaurant and have been here on a number of occasions. The food is really good and you can sit in the restaurant or get a takeaway. The takeaway menu uses the same menu as restaurant and they say there is a discount for main meals but this becomes confusing as when aromatic duck is ordered it’s classed as a starter - need a takeaway menu only. The things that let this restaurant down is the state of the decor - this is a run down place and a bit out of place in this area it needs a complete overhaul there are a lot nicer up an coming places in nearby Mere Green and Aldridge to go to. Also the staff if you are there on a quite afternoon or go late on a guide evening you feel that it is an inconvenience to them and often get abrupt service. Service is something they can work on here too. If it wasn’t for the great food I wouldn’t return but even this isn’t tempting me here anymore so don’t think I’ll be a customer for much longer as too much great choice out there.

The yuk sung was good, the crispy pork pancakes ok, the spare ribs horrid, as were most of the other dishes. The only one I thought edible was the sweet and sour chicken. The best thing we had was the fruit salad. Even the profiteroles were unpleasant. We weren't going to go again but relented as we were in the area and hungry. Cheap but not cheerful. Never again.

My husband and I were taken for a lovely anniversary meal on a Tuesday evening, we were a table of four. We were quickly welcomed and seated at a spacious table near a window in the center of the restaurant. There are fantastic prawn crackers on each table that is served with a sweet chilli dip, they are an incredibly moorish start. The drinks and food were efficiently taken and delivered, if they haven't my dish on their menu they will prepare alternative with the fish, meat or vegetables of your choice. The dishes were nicely presented and very tasty. We did have desert on this occasion. The restaurant inside is surrounded by windows so there is good lighting inside and they have recently replaced the flooring which looks really smart. The same waiters are always there, they work very hard. We love this restaurant and it great if you fancy a pint at the Hardwick Arms.

We went here having had a few take aways, and having read the reviews had expected some poor service. What we got was almost disappointingly good service and a very nice meal at a reasonable price. The meal including tip and a bottle of wine (decent none house wine) came to around £60 for 2, which I think is reasonable. We both had starters and mains, the food was tasty, not greasy and did not contain that horrible processed chicken often found in Chinese restaurants. Vegetarian options were plentiful and we will definitely go back.

I rang to tell them this expecting them to say sorry come back and we will swap it. But no they said ring back in 5 minutes and put the phone down. I rang back again and they put the phone down again. To top off a very bad experience the dishes we did have were flavourless.

Went in without booking on a Friday night at 6pm. Nearly empty but waiter very bluntly told us we'd have to be out in 1 hour and 15 mins as they were going to be busy. We were happy with that. After talking our drinks order they forgot to give us a menu and then our starters came literally 1 minute after we ordered them-strange but they were gorgeous! Mains came out quickly too and they were ok but over £10 each for a small plate of sezchuan chicken and sezchuan beef. We also had one rice to share, a starter each and 2 cokes and 2 small beers-£56! The waiter forgot our second drinks order and ended up bringing them with the bill. Everything was thrown down and there were no smiles. They were still half empty when we left. Way too over priced for standard Chinese food. For half the price we could have BOTH had an all you can eat Chinese that was just as good if not better.

The main course food is good, but the starters do not seem fresh as when you order them within seconds the food is at your table. It is a shame the male staff are grumpy and can be rude and practically throw the plates at you when serving. They always rush you and clear away your plates before you have finished! The food is expensive for what it is .....as it is just standard Chinese food...and with the poor service from the male staff who show no appreciation for your custom I would rather eat elsewhere and my custom be appreciated.

Took my Mom for a birthday meal, always go to the Peninsular has I think it is the best in the area. The staff are really nice and friendly and the food is lovely! Prices are on a par with other places. It is on a bus route as well and there is a pub across the road if you fancy making a night of it somewhere else.

We booked for a family meal, and were not disappointed. We've been here before and my parents use both the restaurant/ takeaway monthly. Amazing food and very friendly and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Food Ok, service poor, even though it was empty!Went along on Sunday for the first time as we had heard the buffet was good. On entrance we were told that the buffet was off. Clearly this had put off the regulars, as the place was pretty much empty. We decided to stay and give it a go. Two blackcurrent aquashes (guess who was hungover?) Starters of Yuk Sung, and we changed our order (on recommendation from the waiter), to a sea food dish main course, and a Black Pepper beef dish, with some rice to share. The seafood was really bland, although the rest was nicely prepared. When the bill came, it was nearly £60!! I don't mind paying for quality, but charging £6.00 for two squashes with tap water is just taking the P*ss. When I queried it, I was told "It's not my fault". Asked him to do something with the price and he refused. A nice thanks for being just about the only customers to not just turn round and leave when they were told the buffet was off. You normally get what you pay for, but not here. I'll drive a little further next time.

Always order our takeaway from here as we leave across the road, although the one waiter is very blunt/ borderline rude on occasions they do the best chicken chowmein ever. We don't go anywhere else despite the sketchy and questionable customer service we sometimes receive.

Popped in here on Wednesday night, it was initially quiet but ended up being very busy with both sit in and take away meals.The food is quite expensive for Chinese/Cantonese but the quality was excellent and portion sizes ample.We opted for the set meal and we're not disappointed. It would be nice to have an option for rice without prawns in but no other way to fault it really.Desert was lovely also, the chocolate melt in the middle pudding was done perfectly and the ice cream wasn't cheap ice cream.Will go again!

The food here is always lovely if a little on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. And here we were paying for a good set menu, well cooked, fresh ingredients and attractively presented. There is one waiter who is particularly abrupt, rarely makes eye contact, drops the food on the table like it's burning him and walks off halfway through a discussion. Then there is another who is extremely helpful, friendly and can't do enough.Strange combination.But we'll keep going back, the food is lovely and they get the drinks just right, particularly a perfect irish coffee which most restaurants get wrong.

we were not greeted at the door, nor shown to our table when I approached the bar to purchase drinks we were told you don't get drinks at the bar, you order at the table-but ther was no waiter at our table we were left to it.our guest arrived and the tone was brusque to say the least. the only saving grace was that the food was okay. the bill wasn't right and we felt let down and didn't leave a tip!this abruptness was slightly less when a group sat at the table next to us, but it was still frosty. they were rude to my mom on the way out.! never again.

Food nice and service good. Don't do toffee apple desert at busy periods which was disappointing (not advised until ordering). But overall good experience.

Fresh, hot delicious food. Friendly, efficient service. First time visiting there and will defiantly go again. Not the cheapest place for a Cantonese, but for a special occasion/ one off every now and again is worth it.

This Chinese, Cantonese restaurant is very clean and with nice decor , the staff on the whole are good but felt sometimes there was a bit of ignorance. There was four of us eating and all had a different meal . We had starters and mains and was very tasty and was able to eat the lot. Portions in my opinion was just right although if hadn't had a starter may laeve you wanting more.The food was lovely and tasty which reflects on the price as you may feel it's a bit expensive if you go there thinking it's just a Chinese meal . 8/10 in my opinion because of pricing and staff.

I had the lunch time set menu which is very under priced for the standard of food you get! Had yuk sung and chicken satay to start which was gorgeous! Rice fluffy and fresh and chow mein highly recommended as were the banana fritters! No one else in there tho which was a shame although it was mid week. The waiter was very pleasant.

Booked in for 7.30, the restaurant at this time was very busy at this time. Shown to our table within a very short time. The ladies in our party where uncomfortably cold as they sat at our table, this was a minus that needs sorting ! I thought the décor was un-inviting towards the rear of the room, almost like a transport café with table cloths and the surrounding space was a bit tight.Saying all that, the food was very good and hot, we ordered from the set £22 per head menu, pleased with the quality of the food. We paid extra for x 4 coffee's that was not good ! almost cold and not good quality. I will be going back, to try again as I think the position of this restaurant should be higher on this listing than it actually is. I hope the management read this and take note.

Neither my partner nor I had been here for a few years. I used to enjoy having a meal here, the food was great, staff friendly and atmosphere warm and welcoming. What a difference a couple of years can make! It was freezing cold, I sat by the radiator but it wasn't on. Friendly service that once was, had gone. The food was ok but feel as vegetarians we were ripped off. When we looked at the portion size of our vegetarian dishes, and then look at a nearby table who are having meat dishes and their portion size was double the size of our vegetarian dishes. There is not much difference in price considering we are just getting served vegetables (mainly onion may I add) which aren't expensive in caparison to meat are they? We ate and left straight way (so i could get warm again). We will not be returning to The Peninsula.

We went here on the recommendation of my daughter. I have to say the food and service were excellent. It was early evening and there were about a dozen people already eating. My dish was a sizzling platter of king prawns in a spicy sauce, it was delicious. The rest of the party had various dishes to share and ther wasn't much left over. The decor is slightly dated but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Already making a date to go again

Dramatically different to last year .. food so salty as to be inedible, surly unhelpful waiter. Zero atmosphere .. perhaps others have walked away from the place because of the quality of the food? Be a long time before I visit again despite their claiming an Award Winning Chef!
