Our Story
Happy, healthy & umami!
Peko Peko is a family-owned restaurant that has been serving fresh, healthy, and delicious Asian-inspired cuisine since 2004.
Founded by Samantha and Troy Bottegal, the first location opened in Doubleview, Perth. Samantha, having spent a decade living in Japan and working in the food industry, was inspired to bring authentic, umami-rich flavors back to her hometown.
Disappointed with the local Asian food offerings, she and Troy set out to create a menu that embodies their vision of "Happy, Healthy, and Umami."
Peko Peko quickly became a favorite in the community, leading to the opening of a second location in Dunsborough in 2010. Both restaurants pride themselves on offering dishes that are free from artificial additives and MSG, ensuring that every meal is both flavorful and good for you.

Values
We believe we are nothing without our teams and we strive to make sure they feel as valued as possible. In this vane we have behavioural values that apply to us all, and rather just be words on a wall, they speak to how we treat each other from director to a junior server:
ENVIRONMENT: “Only when we feel we are in a 'Circle of Safety' will we pull together as a unified team, better able to survive and thrive regardless of the conditions outside”
RESPECT: “The people at the bottom are the ones who get us to the top, treat them with respect”
TRUST: “You aren’t in charge; you are responsible for those in your charge”
ACCOUNTABILITY: “You can take all the credit for the things you get right, as long as you take responsibility for the things you get wrong”
