We've been to Peak Thai several times for dinner, and every single time the food has been so good. We usually order a mix of dishes to share, including the spring rolls, roti bread, yellow curry, fried rice, fried chicken, and pad see ew and honestly, everything is consistently flavorful and satisfying. I know they're already popular for brunch (which we still haven't had the chance to try), but I really wish more people knew how good their dinner is too. It definitely deserves more attention as a dinner spot because the food never disappoints. read more

we tried this spot with high expectations and the PANDAN BRIOCHE TOAST blew us away. come just for that! the chef said she made the pandan syrup that morning and we were in awe with every bite. honorable mention: Tom Yum egg dish is also very flavorful. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Really good food. Not stupid busy for a late brunch on a Sunday afternoon but full enough to feel fun. Very good service. Played good music.

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. read more

Came here on a weekend lunch and plenty of seating in the restaurant. I also want to thank the staff member for being friendly. We were able to get the khao soy-- make sure to check with staff about availability. So, so good. Having the fried chicken to dip in the broth is a perfect combination. The pickles help cut through the rich flavors. The pad see ew is a classic dish that satisfied our rice noodle craving and the benedict was delicious, perfectly yolky and plenty of tater tots to snack on. The space is well-decorated and bathroom was clean. I would definitely come back. read more

When I saw the menu for this place, I was so excited. Everything sounded delicious. So good, in fact, that I thought there would be a line. Fortunately, there were quite a few tables available, so we were sat immediately. My table of two ordered the following: Smoked Duck Benedict - The duck was dry. The egg was fine, and the tater tots were okay, though could've been slightly crispier. Chocolate Ferrero Rocher Pancake - I should've read the details. I thought it was going to be Ferrero Rocher batter, but it was simply pancakes that were slightly better than IHOP with hazelnut chocolate cream on top. I would've preferred that the pancakes were layered with the cream (like a cake), so the cream could add more sweetness throughout the bite. Overall, this place has great promise, but the execution was average. I do like that they have reusable foodware (see Eco Notes below).

Cute brunch/thai restaurant in Alameda! The menu has typical American brunch options as well as Thai lunch specials. Prices were on par with Bay Area restaurants. Flavors were really good and large portions. Stand out was the fried chicken and fried rice - the seasoning was really delicious and memorable. Chicken here is white meat - yay!! Service was prompt and she frequently topped off our waters. All items were presented soon after ordering. No complaints at all! I wouldn't make special effort to return but definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. No outside seating. Metered parking along the street. read more

Had an excellent brunch here. Everything is delicious and beautiful. Extensive menu of classics, unique twists, and Thai food. Smoked duck Benedict - SO tasty. The pesto was a surprising pairing to me, but it went together so well. The smoked duck had great flavor and the eggs were poached on the more undercooked side with slightly runny whites, but I prefer that to overcooked yolks. Pandan brioche - such good flavor. The toast itself is thick and soft, and the pandan sauce is so yummy. Drinks - really fun low ABV cocktails Can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

Food: The pandan toast was a definitely the standout. The pandan flavor was rich and spot on. The pa kee mao had good spice and texture, though it leaned a bit too sweet for me. The tom yum reduction was creative and unique, but didn't quite hit as a standout dish. The menu is really extensive, which makes me want to come back and explore more next time. Ambiance: The space itself has a nice vibe. It is clean and comfortable enough to enjoy a longer meal. It feels like the kind of spot that works for both casual brunch and trying something new with friends. Service: This is where things fell short. The food took quite a long time to come out, and overall service was noticeably slow. It's a shame, because the kitchen is clearly putting out good dishes, but the experience would be much better with more attentive and quicker service. read more

Thai food and bottomless mimosas? Say less! I actually found this place on social media and was a bit excited that a new Thai spot opened up...and for brunch! We came here with reservations for a birthday group. I looked over the brunch menu and everything sounded good, but once we looked at their regular Thai menu, enough was said. We all decided to order the traditional Thai dishes. -Fried calamari 4/5 -Fried rice with fried chicken 5/5 -Basil crispy pork belly 5/5 -Thai boat noodle soup 5/5 -Drunken noodles 4/5 -Sweet sticky rice with ice cream 5/5 Mimosas all around 5/5 When I say everything was delicious and authentic, I left with food coma and am still dreaming about it. They also had chili oil, which was just the icing on the cake. The service was also amazing! A few people came by to check on us, and we felt very welcomed. I can't wait to go back. read more

We came here for Father's Day brunch and I really enjoyed it. There were definitely a couple of favorites and would love to come back and try some of their other items. The restaurant was small and set up with a bunch of small tables. But I'm sure they can accommodate large parties by putting some of the tables together. Everything was really good with the exception of the smoke duck. The slices of the smoke duck were really thin so it actually dried it out and tasted more like a jerky. read more

Second time at Peak. This time my partner and I decided to pop in for brunch before running Saturday errands. We shared the avocado smash with added salmon, and my partner of course got his usual side of bacon. They do a very good avocado smash here. Generous serving of both avocado and salmon. The side of greens comes with some sort of basil dressing which I really liked. I would enjoy that dressing on pretty much anything. On my previous visit here, my friend and I shared a smoked salmon Benedict, which was also very good, and the side of tater tots it came with were some of the best tots I've had. So A+ for the food. Good flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. Service was good. They could use some additional staffing with the popularity this place has gained. On this Saturday, it was a full house. Sound absorbers would also be a good investment. Located in one of Alameda's many older buildings, sound bounces all over like crazy, and with a larger crowd the noise can get intense. Metered parking on Webster is often sparse, but look for parking on the side streets. I'm glad to see how far Webster St./Alameda's West Side has come over the years, and enjoy supporting the businesses on this side of town. We will be back at Peak. Next time I want to try the lunch menu, which looks very good. read more

Woke up late and figured we should do brunch before tackling our Saturday stuff to get done. So the west side we go since a lot of our errands are on thar side of town. My first time here and 2nd for my partner. Three place was packed with only one open table Anaheim another one reserved. Given as packed as they were it took a minute to get our order in but once in and delivered staff continually checked in. I totally went off the radar and ordered the avocado smash toast with addes smoked salmon and a side of bacon. My partner shared with me minus the bacon. Looks like it seats about 40 at tables and more at the counter. Intersting in there was not a tradional eggs and bacon with toast and hash browns or differnt kinds of meat and potatoes on the menu. You could build it from side orders I guess but I opted not to. Bottomless Momo's for those inclined and a brut for us purists. A lot of Thai dishes on the menu also. We will try some of those at a later date. When crowded the noise level is a little intense. As people left the sound level was better. Acoustic tiles or some artsy sound absorbers would be great. Artwork on the walls was nice. I especially liked the white flowers with the raised accents from the thick white paint or putty. read more

On a Sunday around 1pm, we had to wait 5-10 min for a table. Brunch here was very popular up until 2pm when they closed. Food: 4/5.

I've been wanting to come check out Peak for so long, finally had the chance for a weekday Thai brunch! I love that places are doing weekday brunches because it's hard to hit the weekend brunch with kiddos, so major kuddos for that. With spacious and cute digs, can't wait to already come back to try more from the menu. My party and I split a lunch special with rice (veggie yellow curry), beef pad see ew, and a chicken satay salad. While a bit underwhelmed with the salad (the satay were chicken tendies), the curry and noodles were absolutely delicious. Packed with flavor and abundant with all the protein, two great dishes. Friendly service, fair pricing, metered street parking. With a fun and creative menu, would love another stop through to try a few other dishes soon. Also love falling in love with Alameda more and more! read more

Wonderful spot! Great ambiance and friendly staff. I have been here for both dinner and brunch. The classic Thai dishes are on point. Love the yellow curry and pad Thai. We also had the oandan brioche toast which was delicious! Not too sweet and loved the oandan flavor and fresh fruit. Could have maybe used even more of the oandan sauce. Many of the brunch dishes seem pretty adventurous and unique -- would perhaps try these next time! read more

Peak - PanDan toast, yellow curry, pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Alameda, California

I honestly think that Thai brunch is the ONLY way to go. It is superior to any other brunch cuisine, and my meal at Peak was only another data point to my theory. I stopped by for a late brunch with a friend on a weekend. Staff were very warm and welcoming from the time we entered. After a hard choice between all the amazing sounding items on the menu, I decided to order the Tom Yum Reduction and a Thai iced coffee. I absolutely love rice, and believe that it has a place during every meal, so I loved how warm and comforting the Tom Yum Reduction was. The rice was the perfect vesicle for the tom yum sauce mixed with the soft egg. It was hearty, balanced and had me craving for it bite after bite. The Thai iced coffee was a bit too sweet for me, but it was still very good! read more

Peak - Tom Yum reduction - Thai Near Me - Alameda, California

I think I am fully addicted to their Thai Tom Yum reduction. This review is long overdue, but I have tried many dishes from them and the Thai Tom Yum reduction just hits the spot every single time. The savory flavors, the soft egg over the rice, the mushrooms. So comforting with every bite. The service is always up to par and the atmosphere is quaint and relaxing. There is space to move around and sit comfortably. As a plus, their cocktails are also quite delectable. When you can't decide on what to eat for lunch... Thai Tom Yum reduction is the way to go. Of course I forget to take pictures of the food because I devour it as soon as it hits my table. Just go try it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

WHEN: Fri @12pm Got to try this new spot back in January for lunch and felt a bit overwhelmed with the many many selections on their menu. SO my lovely friend and I decided to the following foods: HOUSE PANDAN BLACK TEA - $5 I'm a sucker for all things Pandan so when I saw this I had to give it a try. The Pandan was subtle but I enjoyed it! I wish I can add pandan to all my teas everyday. THAI TOM YUM REDUCTION - $21 A twist on the classic Thai dish with Maitake mushroom, prawns, red onion and fresh tomato sautéed in a rich tangy Tom Yum sauce, paired with tornado eggs. Served over fragrant Thai jasmine rice. We usually get a Logo Moco but this sounded unique and had to try! Overall good, but perhaps I expected something more. It's like having rice, scrambled eggs, and you decided to scoop some of that Tom Yum soup into your bowl. I've decided I prefer my Tom Yum exclusively as a soup. Don't get me wrong I ate it and thoroughly enjoyed it. CRISPY CLUCK BENEDICT - $22 Crispy fried chicken atop toasted sourdough, crowned with perfectly poached eggs and drizzled with velvety hollandaise sauce. A bold fusion of classic comfort and vibrant Thai flavors. Served with a side of rainbow potatoes or tater tots, and I got the latter and they were good. The chicken was more of a katsu style which was decent and overall this dish was good. PANDAN THAI TOAST - $15 Sweet pandan cream and coconut milk come together to create a wonderfully fragrant custard served on a sweet toasted brioche and coconut ice cream. Sprinkle with coconut flakes. Made with real pandan leaf with no added color. Did I mention how much I love Pandan? I was on the fence with this one because of how feel we were, and I didn't like the price. But dammit, not only was our server/shop owner so damn charming, but yes I get weak in the knees with Pandan. It was so good of course. I'm really rooting for this restaurant and hope they stick around for long. There's plenty of seating and the place is well decorated. There's so much on the menu I'll Ike to try and hope to return soon! read more

I think this review is mainly for the one item I really enjoyed, and it's the Thai Tom yum reduction. It was really good and a subtle tom yum flavor for me that I really enjoyed. My father in law even liked it, and he seems quite picky. The sauce is thickened kind of like a gravy and it's over rice with eggs. I was able to enjoy it twice because it was a lot for me (took half home to eat). My husband got the smoked duck Benedict which I personally didn't like. Duck tasted too much like bacon to me, and I like the velvet taste of Duck. He also didn't like it. There was really no wait on a Sunday morning and we got lucky with very close street parking. I could recommend this to friends as a nice spot to go to before hitting up the breweries. Service - 5 / Ambiance - 3 / Food - 3.5 / Price - 3.5 read more

I had lunch at Peak restaurant on a Thursday around 1 PM and it was surprisingly quiet and relaxing spot to enjoy a meal. The inside of the restaurant is really cute and it is spacious with tons of seating available. They offer both a brunch menu and a regular menu and the selection on both ends is very impressive. There's also a great list of cocktails and desserts to round out your meal. I ordered the pad see ew with beef and added a fried egg on top (extra $3) and it was reallllly good. The thick noodles soaked up the sauce beautifully and the flavors were perfectly balanced. My coworker got the chicken satay tacos and she enjoyed them as well. I also tried the Soju bloody Mary & I highly recommend! The soju was very smooth and made it quite too easy to drink lol The prices are on the higher end, but that's expected as it is in Alameda, but I think the quality of the food, cocktails, and service made it totally worth it. Staff was friendly and attentive the whole time. Parking tip: street parking (metered) is available and there's a small lot around the block away I definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a tasty lunch and great drinks in Alameda! read more

Super satisfying brunch here today: - The Peak, everything the desc says - creamy eggs, thick meaty unctuous pork belly, chewy and crusty sourdough slathered in maple syrup - Avo Bacon Waffle - comes with an over easy fried egg, a touch of sweet and savory. Waffle had a nice crisp and bite - nice minimalist ambiance and warm, unobtrusive service - American and Thai pop hits played They have bottomless mimosas! 1.5 hour limit. We opted to go alcohol free with coffee and Thai iced tea. Corner of Webster/Central - metered parking only. Most definitely will be back! What a delicious addition to Alameda.

The Peak opened around a month ago at the end of Webster in Alameda. The ambiance is minimalist with diners seated in a large, high ceilinged, rectangular room that can get drafty and echoey. Very good service but items are pricey and need refinement compared to more established SE Asian restaurants on Webster. I've been to Peak twice and wanted to sample a few more dishes before writing this review. We liked some dishes and others were a complete miss. Here's what we tried: Roti with Curry Dipping Sauce - flat, not puffy or airy, Roti with a tasty dipping sauce. Decent version that is a bit small. Peak's version is similar to a green onion pancake without the green onions. Crispy Calamari with Spicy Mayo - lots of small pieces, crispy as stated per the menu. Possibly add another sauce like a sweet and spicy chutney. Larb Chicken - small salad that feeds two. We'd pass on this tasteless and dry version. Needs something - more dressing? Fried Trout with Apple Salad - suggest tossing the salad with more dressing and placing the fried trout on top of the mixed salad. The trout was hidden below and loses its crisp underneath the bland salad. I think this menu item is unique and could be a signature item with a little re-work. Applaud the creativity and pairing and just need to work on the execution of this fusion-like item. I would prefer the trout on top as it is the central item of this dish - don't hide it! Keep it crispy. Pad See Ew - good sized portion however we chose beef which ended up being chewy. Tasted almost on point with the light sweet soy, however the flat noodles needed more Wok Mei taste from a bit more frying in the wok. Or just need a more well seasoned wok? Crab Fried Rice - large order with not much crab and tasted very plain. Tasteless fried rice that we'd definitely pass on. We had a much better version nearby. Khao Soi - Peak's version is with fried noodles in a sweet and tangy soup. I personally liked this version with the crispy fried noodles. Would return just for this. Smoked Duck Curry - I liked this version with slices of duck, pineapple chunks, and a sweet red curry sauce. Mango Sticky Rice - average version that was neither a hit or miss. Overall, excellent service with some good dishes while more than a few items need refinement. Peak does well with the curry sauced items while the salads need a bit more zing or spice to make them memorable. Peak has been open for over a month and adjusting some dishes would make it a welcome addition to the competitive SE Asian restaurant scene on lower Webster. read more

Peak Alameda is such a hidden gem. I stopped by recently and was genuinely impressed the flavors, presentation, and cozy atmosphere were all spot on. I started with the Garden Rolls with Avocado, and they were so fresh. Crisp vegetables, creamy avocado, and the peanut sauce tied everything together perfectly. For mains, I tried a few of their new dishes: * Kana Moo Krob - crispy pork belly stir-fried with a flavorful garlic sauce and Chinese broccoli. * Tom Yum Ramen - bold, tangy, and comforting with a rich broth and fresh seafood. * Pla Sam Ros - the fried branzino was cooked beautifully and topped with a sweet, sour, and spicy pineapple sauce. The Coconut Rice was fragrant and slightly sweet, and the Butterfly Pea & Lemon Tea was light and refreshing. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly and fresh.

Hands down one of the BEST restaurants in Alameda! Peak has quickly become our absolute favorite spot in town. We've been here five times already (and counting!), and every single visit leaves us raving about the food. The owners are genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can feel the love and care they put into both the food and the atmosphere. Supporting them feels like a joy, not a chore. On our most recent visit, I had the eggplant stir-fry with chicken and purple rice--perfectly balanced with a bit of spice, not too sweet, and packed with flavor. The portion was generous without being overwhelming. My friend had the chicken sandwich on a croissant, and it looked incredible. Another had the "Super Bowl" (teriyaki salmon, rice, avocado, cucumbers, almonds, cranberries)--a gorgeous mix of fresh, hearty, and healthy. My mom loved the salmon cream cheese toast, which she now talks about regularly. I've also had the chicken and waffles which had them moist delicious chicken I've ever had. Also, one of my favorite dishes is noodles are just the right amount of spicy and savory Honestly, everything we've tried has been delicious. You can taste the quality and thought in each dish. If you haven't been yet--GO. This place is a true gem, and we're so lucky to have it in Alameda. read more
