Peninsula Table Tennis Club

What a treasure. Please take you kids here for a group or a private lesson. It is so much fun to watch the young ones get coached by a world champion.

I would consider myself an average causal table tennis player; so, I understand all of the basics and some advance moves of penhold style. Yesterday, I had my first lesson with Coach Chen. I would have to say I was very impressive with his depth of knowledge. After just playing a couple rallies, he was able to gauge where my weaknesses are and started to correct me. My penhold style backhand smash always have been my weak point, but yesterday he showed me a new way of backhand smashing that changed my outlook on my backhand. If you hit your limitation of self-​improvement in table tennis like I was, I would totally recommend coach Chen. Coach Chen is very patient and knowledgeable. I cannot wait to have my lesson next week.

The six tables are forced into a small space. Not enough room for player to move around.
The owner, Mr. Chan, does not honor the business hours he posted in his website, he often start and end the business hour at his own convenience.
The owner often rent the space out for party, then the member cannot play and have to leave.
If you don’t have a partner to play with, don’t go to this palace because nobody will play with you.
Poor customer service. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Almost exactly a year ago I gave this place a review, a 4 star. Today I went to check out this place again. It earns from me a 3 star.
The place is newly remodeled, all new tables, Double Happiness, fancy looking, but I suspect they are of WalMart quality. From what I observed, the tables sounded dead. But one shouldn’t expect European quality such as Stiga and Donic.
Spaces are cramped. Six tables are forced into an office layout. Therefore, if you are a serious ping pong player, this is not for you. However, if you are a beginner or a close-​to-​the-​table player, this is fine for you.
What keeps me from playing there is the noise. We all know Chinese are noisy. Here they have added a big screen TV on the wall, turned on to increase the noise level, just like the Chinese restaurants.
I wished Julie Au success in her endeavor in running the club. Now I wish her to remove the TV so that I will become a paying member.

If you’re coming here for a fun game with your friends, this place is awesome with reasonable prices. The private lessons are fine too, but ask for Julie or her husband. They are the founders of the club. Julie is the best ping pong player, however her husband is the best teacher.(Amazing teacher! Has patience and gives you tips and encouragement) The last teacher is named Philip I believe… he doesn’t know much English, and is very pushy and doesn’t use deodorant.
Pros: Quick games with friends, convenient area (by a freeway)
Cons: Would be helpful if they learned more English, classes aren’t too great
Bottom line: Recommended for quick games.

Great location, very close to the 101 freeway exist. People are nice. Tables are good and the facilities is clean. Will go back again for more PIng Pong…
