About Coconut Island

Winnipeg's Premier Thai Dining Experience

Coconut Island Thai Cuisine is one of Winnipeg's most beloved authentic Thai restaurants, nestled along the busy Pembina Highway corridor in the Fort Richmond and Fort Garry area. Named after Coconut Island (Ko Phrao) — a serene, lush island off the southwest coast of Thailand — the restaurant brings the vibrant flavours and warm hospitality of Thailand directly to Manitoba.

As a family-owned and operated restaurant celebrating over 10 years on Pembina Highway, Coconut Island Thai Cuisine has grown from a neighbourhood gem into a Winnipeg institution. The restaurant features a welcoming atmosphere adorned with beautiful paintings of Thailand's coastal scenery, creating an immersive dining experience that transports guests to the shores of the tropics.

The menu is a celebration of traditional Thai cooking featuring time-honoured recipes crafted with fresh ingredients, bold spices, and complex flavour. Guests can choose their preferred spice level across most dishes — from mild to genuinely fiery. We proudly offer halal-certified chicken, gluten-free options (marked GF on the menu), vegetarian, and vegan dishes, making us one of Winnipeg's most inclusive Thai dining destinations.

"After reading wonderful reviews, we decided to try out this restaurant about 3 years ago. It has since then been our favourite restaurant for Thai food. It is the best Thai Food with so much flavour and delicious portions. We absolutely LOVE it!!! We brought along 14 friends and they were all raving about how delicious the food was. The service was outstanding — you could see that the owners and staff took pride in their cuisine. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!"

"Outstanding Thai food… and I have eaten in Thailand! The red curry fish is perfect… and our favourite green curry was amongst the best ever. We will eat their meals again."

Winnipeg Regular

"This is my go to for green curry soup and curry dishes. The soup has many different veggies, and you can request certain ones to not be included, and the same with the curry dishes. I have done pickup here at least 20 times, and will continue. The staff is always friendly and the food is always tasty, filling and generous. I can make two to three meals from my order. They are super fast as well. Will continue to be a consistent customer."
