Peak — Restaurant in Alameda

Edit as of 1/12/25:

I had to go again to try their dinner menu. It did not disappoint, every item that I ordered was AMAZING!

This time I tried their thai boat noodle, fried rice with fried chicken, fried calamari, fried chicken wings, pandan toast, thai tea toast, and of course I had to order their iced thai tea (that i kept dreaming of).

Thai Boat Noodle 💯/10 This beefy, hearty, and herby noodle soup is hands down one of the best dishes here. The beef was tender, noodles cooked to perfection, the broth so hearty but yet so refreshing; everything together made it an amazing dish. They are super generous with the meat, we finished the noodles way before finishing up the beef! You will not regret getting this dish.

Fried rice with fried chicken 10/10 The fried chicken was chicken breast and I expected a little bit of dryness, but it was the exact opposite. The crust stayed nice and crunchy while the chicken was so tender and juicy! The fried rice complimented the dish so well.

Fried calamari 9/10 They know how to fry their stuff. The calamari was so crunchy, it wasn't even soggy by the time we finished it at the end of our meal. I'm not sure what sauce they paired it with, but it went really nicely with the fried calamari.

Fried Chicken Wings 10/10 These chicken wings are out of this world. It's coated in a sticky umami, slightly spicy, sweet, and tangy glaze. I put some of the extra sauce on the fried rice because this sauce was just too good to pass up. This is definitely going to be my go-to order here.

Pandan Toast 10/10 All the flavors melted together so perfectly. It came with toast, pandan cream, and coconut ice cream. The toast was nice and soft, while the pandan cream was not too sweet and yet had a strong pandan flavor, and lastly the coconut ice cream was just the perfect amount of coconut taste to balance out everything else.

Thai Tea Toast 9/10 This dessert came with the same toast from the pandan toast, condensed milk, and thai tea ice cream. I thought that the thai ice cream was slightly lacking in flavor, but that didn't affect the taste of the dessert as a whole. The condensed milk complemented the toast extremely well and the ice cream was an added bonus!

P.S. They made some changes to their menu, like adding a few more items and changing the names of 1-2 dishes. Unfortunately I didn't have time to take a picture of their new menu's as I was too busy enjoying the food!

1/5/25 review: This place just opened on January 3rd. The decor is beautiful and their cutlery matches so well. I love the ambiance and not to mention the food was great. We ordered chicken and waffles, basil chicken, pad thai, and a thai tea.

Chicken and waffles - 9/10 The sauce was sweet and tangy. SO DELICIOUS! The waffles were slightly too dense for my liking.

Basil Chicken - 10/10 This sauce, chicken, and egg was a chef"s kiss. It was so good!

Pad Thai - 10/10 If i could give this pad thai more than 10/10, i would. The shrimps were nice and fresh, the pad thai was not overly sweet. It tasted so good.

Thai tea - 10/10 If they sold their thai tea in a jug, I would be buying it so quickly! I'm coming back here just for their thai tea.

The staff was extremely nice, food was great and I'm still dreaming over their Thai tea. It's safe to say that I'm definitely coming...

1st visit was at the peek Sunday brunch timeframe. The staff was slammed, front of the house was definitely under staffed for the amount of tables turning over. Even with that obstacle that staff was polite and attentive. I assume the kitchen was having similar issues. As a table of 2, our brunch orders were delivered to the table with 25 minutes between them. The manager without asking comp'd one of the meals. The biggest concern is the coffee. It was not good. Honestly, haven't had unappealing cup of coffee in a very long time. The salmon toast was excellent. The bread was a superstar. The amount of salmon was acceptable. The specialty pancake plate was ok. It didn't justify the $21 price tag. The basic pancake was OK, no taste that would say 'Woww, what a great pancake' The specialty part is added to the top of the pancake, it was served with a blueberry compote that was refrigerator cold. It took away from the taste rather than add to it.

We will try Peak again for lunch or dinner service. Not sure we will visit for Brunch again.

A special shout out to the Manager for reading the table without us saying one word. A double shout out to the staff for navigating a maxed out restaurant with super speed and...

A good variety of brunch and Thai food available at this eatery. And they have some delicious coffee that it is good without any need of sugar or milk or cream. We tried asking what coffee it was but the server maintained silence indicating to us it may be trade secret.

The pancake and bacon were delicious. Panake was fluffy and had good taste with the caramel syrup. While bacon was nice and crisp.

Smashed avocado with eggs Benedict was yummy. Just like how one would imagine those two things mix together over a toast.

Uncle Tom fried rice was mediocre. Rice tasted not only bland but semi-hard. Only thing that was good was the fried chicken wings. Perhaps getting the fried chicken fried rice would have been the better option.

Mushroom egg toast is a good option for anyone wanting a hearty protein brunch but no meat.

Fried chicken waffle was very filling. The go all out on the huge piece of fried chicken. Chicken was...
