Local tips
- Plan around opening hours: Kanda’s opens for lunch and again in the late afternoon; it is closed on Mondays and does not serve a late‑night menu.
- If you like heat, mention your spice preference clearly when ordering; many dishes can be prepared extra spicy or milder on request.
- This is primarily a takeaway spot with limited seating, so consider taking your food back to your accommodation or to a nearby park or harbor bench.
- At busy evening times, order a little earlier than you plan to eat, as popular dishes and delivery slots can sell out quickly.

A small corner of Thailand on Strandbygade
Kanda's Thai Cuisine sits along busy Strandbygade, just a short walk from Esbjerg’s harborfront streets, in a modest shopfront that is easy to miss until the smell of stir‑frying garlic and chili reaches you. Step inside and you find a compact, no‑nonsense space that feels more like a neighbourhood kitchen than a formal restaurant, with the counter, open cooking area and a few seats all within arm’s reach. This is first and foremost a takeaway spot, designed for people who want bold Thai flavors packed up quickly to take home, back to a hotel or down to the waterfront. The scale keeps things informal: handwritten notes, clinking woks, the soft hum of the fridge and the constant shuffle of delivery bags waiting to go out into the city.From wok fire to classic Thai comfort dishes
The menu leans into familiar Thai comfort food, with fragrant curries, noodle dishes and rice plates that balance sweet, sour, salty and spicy in classic style. Expect variations on green and red curry, stir‑fried basil dishes, cashew chicken, satay and spring rolls, alongside staples such as pad thai and fried rice. Food is cooked to order, so you watch flames lick the bottom of the wok as vegetables and meat are tossed with curry pastes, fish sauce and herbs. Portions are sized for easy sharing, and heat levels can usually be adjusted from mild to extra‑spicy, making it approachable both for chili lovers and those still easing into Thai cuisine.A takeaway rhythm shaped by local life
Kanda’s follows the working rhythm of Esbjerg. Lunchtime openings on weekdays make it a popular choice for a quick midday break, with compact boxes of noodles or rice that can be eaten on the go or back at the office. In the late afternoon and evening, the focus shifts to family dinners and relaxed take‑home feasts as bags of steaming curries and rice leave the counter in steady waves. Seating inside is simple and limited, but for those who choose to dine in, the experience is about immediacy rather than ceremony: food arriving straight from the pan, plastic containers opened at the table, and conversation punctuated by the kitchen’s clatter just a few steps away.Casual atmosphere and everyday warmth
The atmosphere is friendly and unfussy. Decor is practical, with a few Thai touches and menu boards providing most of the visual interest. The real character comes from the activity: takeaway orders being called, bags rustling, and the hiss of oil as the next dish hits the wok. This is the kind of place that fits easily into everyday life in Esbjerg, used as much by locals grabbing a familiar favorite on a weeknight as by visitors looking for a break from traditional Danish fare. Its central address on Strandbygade makes it an easy stop to fold into an evening stroll through town.Part of Esbjerg’s evolving food landscape
Kanda's Thai Cuisine reflects how Esbjerg’s culinary scene has diversified beyond classic Danish and seafood options. Here, Thai flavors and techniques are adapted just enough to fit local preferences while remaining recognizably rooted in Southeast Asian cooking. Over the years it has carved out a role as a reliable, moderately priced spot for Thai takeaway in the city. For travelers staying nearby, it offers a convenient, flavorful alternative to sit‑down restaurants: a place where you can pick up a bag of curries and noodles, then enjoy them wherever the North Sea wind or an evening in your room takes you.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
