This spot has had so many restaurants over the years and The Peach is by far the best. Lovely service, friendly, engaged. Everything we ate was delish. Their corn pancakes soaked in honey, a treat for the whole table. The Thai shrimp and grits was mouth watering. Omelette solid. And the bread pudding, crispy edges, soft inside, not to sweet. On my list to come back for sure

My friend and I happened upon this spot one night after waiting for seating at a nearby restaurant. WELL we ended up never going to the other restaurant as The Peach’s new dinner menu gave us everything we needed! Beautiful ambiance. Cute soju-based cocktails. And a menu that was fun, creative, and a delicious fusion of Southeast Asian cuisine. Would def come back for dinner! And I would run a marathon barefoot if it meant another bite of their HONEY MISO GLAZED CORNBREAD! That’s a must-eat

Don’t let the size fool you, this place is bigger than it appears. So if you see a line, still go in and check because that’s how we ended up here and I’m so glad we did! We got the Chicken & Biscuits, Chef’s Omelette, and 1 Golden Pancake. Everything we had was AMAZING and such a delight for the tastebuds. The compote jam they have here is also super delicious with the biscuits and the pancake! Highly recommend if you’re in the area for a cute brunch spot! Friendly staff and cute atmosphere!

Fusion comfort food you can only imagine. Tamales with plantain + calabasa. Bulalo tasting lamb neck with roti. Both dishes keep you guessing before lulling you into a food coma. Also the Ube ice cream sandwich with small pieces of honeycomb is genius. Warm service, exceptional food with ginormous portions. Great vibes and even better R&B music. Phenomenal ambiance. Christopher, Angie set the tone and then Chef Harold definitely delivers. Can’t recommend this place enough.

I personally recommend this place. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming, and the food is amazing with great flavor. I loved the quality of the service was always attentive. Even though the place was busy with many tables occupied, we didn’t have to wait long.
I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and my friend had the mushroom omelette; both were absolutely delicious I’ll definitely be coming back and give it 5 stars because there’s no higher rating.

I have now been here twice, and they recently changed the menu which I feel was a bad move. I don’t know if they’re trying to cut prices or what but the new menu is not it. They have also seemed to eliminate the waiters/waitresses, which is very impersonal and takes away from the experience for me. Oh, and don’t forget the automatic 18% gratuity even if it’s just you.
I had the French toast and it was pretty good but very pricey for one slice of bread. I asked the host before ordering how the chicken patties tasted, and she said they were kind of sweet. However, when I got them, they were very spicy with a hint of sweetness. If I would have known they were spicy, I wouldn’t have ordered them. The lemonade had a weird taste and even after being replaced, it wasn’t good so I left it there.
The first time I went with their other menu, the food was pretty tasty, which made me want to come back but when I got there the second time I was very disappointed with the options and the way they do the service now.

Came to the peach today with a large party and was sat instantly, I fell in love with the service and ambiance before even tasting the food!! And the food was amazing as well and picture worthy which is what my girls love !! We tried many things the shrimp and grits, smashed avocado, and the mango sticky rice matcha to name a few. The service from Kennedy was so warm and friendly, I been a couple times but this one was one of the best. See you soon peach!!

Came for Saturday brunch around 10:30a, 3 people. We tried the iced rose matcha, one person had coffee, and shared 3 entrees – the French toast, shrimp and grits and the chicken and biscuit (no egg on it).
Sharing was the right choice to get to try a little bit of everything, and although we felt full it was just the right amount. Everything had amazing flavor. The shrimp and grits wasn’t too spicy for me (someone who can’t do any spice, it did have a little kick but nice), and the friend chicken was perfectly done (crispy outside, juicy inside).
Although there was some slight confusion on the egg for the chicken dish (not pictured), that led to us not getting an egg (which was not a problem), we honestly would recommend the dish without or on the side as we liked being able to have the biscuit with the butter and jam provided (yum!). We believe it would have been much messier with the egg on top.
I will be going back to try more of the dishes. The vibe was lovely, servers nice and food incredible!

Love this place!! The servers were super friendly and easy going. We were being annoying and having too much fun and our server played right along. Mimosas were so good, they juice their own fruit blend?! The menu was full of creative fusion dishes, we had a hard time choosing. Everything was delicious. The ricotta pancakes, the biscuits, the fried chicken and hot honey. Loved every bite. Would totally come back, exactly what you want for a brunch spot without any fussiness. We didn’t have the wait, the place was not busy. The server said that was unusual though. There’s street parking, just kind of have to look around. Most places say you have to pay but hardly anyone does.

I wouldn’t recommend coming here unless they up their game. I want to support new businesses in oakland but the food here felt frozen and something I could make quickly at home. I’m usually at least a 20% tipper this place requires 18% but I think because of the guaranteed tip the service is poor. Examples of this is are we waited around 40mins before we had to walk up to order. Had to walk up to refill our water, walk up to pay the check. I’m not usually a service stickler but it’s surprising how bad it is on a not busy day.
The energy and vibe isn’t there. A lot of apathy around the food/attention to detail it’s not a place I’d want to up my spend or take risks.
Hope it gets better. I like Jo’s a lot but this place is nothing like it.
