We went back a second time for my birthday and the experience was different. It was packed and the service was slow. They also changed their bottomless mimosa time limit to 1 hour instead of 1.5 hours which we didn't know so the drinks and food were slow to come. The food quality was also different this time. The portions felt smaller and some of the items I wanted to order wasn't available. Sometimes when a restaurant becomes too busy, the quality changes which is really unfortunate as we had a great experience the first time.

If this is the "peak," I'd hate to see what their bottom is. Had a reservation, but still had to wait 40 minutes. Service is slow and unhelpful. My eel dish had lukewarm small eel that tasted like it was from a packet, bland slow, lukewarm eggs, and lukewarm rice. Totally not worth it. My friend had the deconstructed Tom YUM, I guess it was okay, though she boxed most of it to go. The mango sticky rice was awful. Way too sweet, doused in syrup with bitter mangos for $13. Overall with tax and tip $100 for 2 people, was not worth it and I do not understand the hype. I heard kids and parents around us talking about how great the pancakes are, but we didn't feel like pancakes, so that's that.

Ube toast for $21

Thai brunch in Alameda! It has a sizable indoor seating but somehow easy to miss when walking past on the main drag in Alameda. We wanted to try the pandan toast but it wasn't available. We had the ube instead, it was Ok. $20 seems expensive for two pieces of toast and sauce. Prettier in pictures. Recommend the Tom Yum Reduction though! Tasty and filling.

Stopped by Peak for a last-minute brunch and it was a pretty good experience. I was curious to try out Peak for a little while but didn't get around it. The restaurant is warm and inviting with some simple decorations and touches of color. We arrived shortly after opening time and were the first ones dining in, but a steady stream of customers started coming in gradually. The brunch menu has a good amount of sweet and savory items, although the prices for certain items were a bit steep. They have multiple types of coffee and tea drinks available. I opted to order an iced lavender latte, which was quite tasty and did not have an overpowering flavor of lavender and the sweetness was just right. I also ordered the creme brûlée toast, which was a smaller portion, with one piece of brioche toast and had a nice texture and a delicious vanilla custard topping with fresh fruit. We also had a side of fruit, which seemed a bit lackluster for the $9 price. They included a small plate of sliced apple and oranges, some blueberries and cherries and 1-2 strawberries sliced thinly. Food was pretty good, but I am curious about how the savory egg dishes taste. Service was friendly and attentive, as we had to flag down a staff member for a few different items more than once. They responded promptly and were kind. However, with 2 iced drinks, 2 small-ish entrees, and a side of fruit, the total with tax was just under $60 before tip. I think Peak could be a solid brunch spot with some minimal improvements. Overall, I'd recommend trying out Peak if you're in the area.

Parking: Came here after a workout session with my brother and found out it's a hole in the wall restaurant so parking is on the street and of course you gotta pay the meter. Ambiance: it was nice and cozy, the decor was actually really lovely with. Nice cafe vibe. Service: service was actually really good. The servers were attentive and flexible. Food: tasty and came out fast, had the drunken noodles which were good and whatever ramen dish they had on the same page as drunken noodles. Very flavorless squid so watch out for that. And the sodas I assume is made with club soda and syrup cause that's what their lychee soda tastes like. It's alameda so I knew the menu items were going to be pricey. That's fine. But I had mango sticky rice to go and I gotta say, a small box of rice with half a mango in it for $13? Nah, that was $6 at best.

We tried this new brunch spot and it did not disappoint. It has a spacious and modern interior and comfortable seating. We made a reservation for the weekend and got seated shortly. The food was aesthetic and tasty. Highlights was definitely the Tom Yum reduction. Super flavorful broth with egg and rice. Bacon was perfectly cooked and our pancakes were fluffy and light. This is a nice local gem that doesn't have too long of a wait and can satisfy a Thai brunch craving!

Tom yum reduction
Wesley W.

Came here for brunch on a rainy weekend and there was no line at 11am. We made a reservation but definitely didn't need to. The food was tasty but felt like a cozy home cooked meal. I enjoyed the flavor of the Tom Yum reduction and my husband liked the fried rice in the Uncle Sam fried rice. The restaurant is spacious with lots of natural light and fresh florals which make the space very cozy. Parking is on the street only. We had to park around the corner in the neighborhood to park for free.

Thai Tom Yum Reduction
Carly L.

Our favorite was the tom yum reduction. Service was amazing. We were a table of four and finished everything, no crumbs left behind! The server even commented "wow ate everything!"

Tom yum reduction

Came here for a late brunch on Saturday and luckily there was no wait. Parking was a little tricky though, I ended up parking in a nearby neighborhood and walking over. For the table, we ordered the Tom Yum reduction, pandan brioche toast, and pandan pancakes. The Tom Yum dish wasn't bad, it had some nice citrusy, tangy flavors inspired by the classic Thai soup, but it didn't stand out much. The pandan brioche toast unfortunately missed the mark for us. The toast itself was extremely dry, which made it hard to enjoy even with the pandan sauce. The pandan pancakes were decent with a light sweetness and soft texture, but overall nothing particularly memorable. Service was standard and the food came out at a reasonable pace, and the place itself has a nice atmosphere. That said, the food didn't quite live up to the hype for us. Not terrible by any means, but you can probably find better brunch options elsewhere in the area.

Chicken Benedict on Waffle with potatoes
Austin L.

The food here was delicious, but pricey. It was $22 for the Uncle Sam's fried rice, but it didn't fill me up fully. The service was great, and the waiters came to check up on us frequently. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.

Chargrilled Eel
Avery L.

The food was really good, especially the chargrilled eel and uncle sams fried rice. The service was really good too.

Chicken Curry
Lauryn T.

I have been wanting to try Peak for a while since it opened on the West End. Went during a random weekend, we got seated right away which was nice. We ordered the yellow curry with chicken and drunken noodle. Both delicious and fantastic classic Thai dishes! The service was amazing, the waitresses were attentive and accommodating to what we needed.

Seafood tomyum omurice
Julia S.

I absolutely loved the food here. I love brunch, I love Thai food--and Thai brunch is kind of a no-brainer. Everything we tried was really good, and while the dishes themselves are clearly Thai brunch-style (so not traditional in form), the flavors were very authentic. That balance was actually what made it so enjoyable. The standout dish for me was the tom yum seafood omurice. I still think about it sometimes--it was that good. Savory, tangy, loaded with seafood, and the sauce was just perfectly done. We also ordered the soup potato fries, which were crispy, fresh, and super satisfying--honestly a great side. And of course, we had to get the boat noodle soup, since it's my husband's favorite and not something every Thai restaurant offers. Their version was very flavorful and easily one of the better ones we've had. In general, places that serve boat noodles tend to be more authentic, and this one definitely delivered. If this spot weren't all the way in Alameda, I'd probably be here all the time. If you're into Thai food and brunch, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

Such a cute cafe! Instantly Instagramable!…read more Heard they had a special Wednesday menu during summer so decided to stop by since we were nearby. What a great choice! The whole place is so incredibly charming, probably the cutest cafe in the Bay! I couldn't stop taking pics of all the art and collection of artifacts from Malaysia back in the day. Then the eats -- we had a slice of quiche, the dry laksa a blue tea refresher and the ice kacang. Everything was great and the ice kacang was amazing, so we got another one! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful too. So charming and made for a very pleasant experience. Hope they make the special summer menu permanent!

Incredibly overpriced & overrated…read more Sandwiches are so tiny and the amount of food for $48/pp is insulting. We got the kaya, bak kwa, meat floss, sardines, and sambal tofu sandwiches. The sardine and sambal ones had great flavor but just didn't have enough spice or filling. Bak kwa sandwich was $3 extra and completely not worth it. So bland. Scones were small and hard. Pandan cake & pumpkin kuih were bland, esp the kuih. I could barely taste the pumpkin but the texture was good. I ordered chrysanthemum & lemongrass tea and it was pretty tasteless - almost like water. The malaysian pulled tea was good. Very cute restaurant ambiance. Service is just ok - very basic. I really wanted to love this place but both my husband and i came away disappointed. Along with the lack of flavors, the pricing is also pretty unreasonable for the portions. Good to try once, but won't return.
