Kinaree Thai Cuisine

Kinaree Thai Restaurant is a family-run authentic Thai dining room in downtown Courtenay, co-owned by Soulat Ma and head chef Pasthida Ma, whose menu draws on centuries of family cooking traditions. The restaurant takes its name from the Kinaree, a mythical half-woman, half-swan figure from Thai legend, and the interior features a bronze Kinaree statue and traditional Thai art on deep red walls. A touring cyclist looking for a sit-down meal in the Comox Valley would find a well-established local favourite with a broad menu spanning curries, noodle dishes, and seafood.
