About Kin Kao Thai Robina restaurant

Tucked away in Robina, Kin Kao serves unapologetic Thai cooking stripped of the usual western sweetness. Regulars head straight for the fiery tom yum, loaded curry puffs, and duck stir-fries spiked with fresh green peppercorns. Grab an outdoor table overlooking the water and bring your own bottle of wine—corkage is fair, and the heat does not hold back.

  • Uncompromised Spice Profiles: Curries and soups balance genuine chili punch and herbs without heavy added sugars.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: Guests can bring their own wine to pair with dinner for a modest corkage fee.
  • Waterfront Dining Options: Features patio seating overlooking the water alongside traditional indoor decor.
