Reviews of Sunson Asian Food Market

h. p.

This market can provide mostly Asian ingredients that you need. The price is acceptable. It should be more spacious

J. T.

great place for good asian groceries, their discount rack is super good!!! 😛😛 theres lots of other chinese / asian food available here, including fresh produce! definitely recommend checking this place out. it’s fully airconned too so its quite a pleasant shopping experience!!

J. H.

A variety sections of food with reasonable prices , but the path is too narrow, the trolley doesn’t work well.

W. S. Y.

Finding a car park it's like a mission impossible around lunchtime, so avoid going there around 11:30-1:30 at all costs. They don't have any bagging service so you better bring your own bags or get a cardboard box for packing. You might find some good deals from the street vendors selling vegetables on the pavement thought.

V. H.

I love their freshly dug veges. Excellent quality, cheap, great condition.

P. L.

Very popular, very good variety, prices ok.

a. n.

Food hotspot for almost everything asian. Have lots of parking area as well.

j. l.

Great for all your Asian needs. Mostly Chinese groceries and veggies very seasonal has some malaysian sauces but not all of them.

X. W. T.

Always my choice of asian market in Christchurch. They sell many things, especially chinese stuff, even Malaysia, Philippines and many. Love that they sell fresh You Tiao, not many places can get it. They sell fresh vegetables which are cheaper than the supermarket. Lots of buns and dumplings can be found here as well.

t. s.

Very friendly staff, great price, but parking is impossible always.

S. M.

Sunson has everything, my wife hates when I remind her.

A. H.

Service unfriendly, will not go again

m. m.

Apart from the stand put fresh produce, and the special soft drinks my daughters love. I found packaged Enoki mushrooms which I've been fixating on cooking for the last 3 day, and there they were.

s. l.

Nice sp lk my all asin spices from this sp cooli

S. C.

You could get most Asian stock and groceries from here at an affordable price. It gets really busy and difficult to secure a car park on most weekends. Note the roads are filled with potholes so someone at the council probably has to pay attention to it.

J. N.

Best place for tofu, vegetarian "meats" both packaged/tinned and frozen, fresh noodles, good value and quality vegetables and herbs. The vege sausages in the freezer are my favourite of all supermarket ones I've tried in NZ. The staff are helpful and efficient but there are often queues at busier times. Weekday mornings are a good time to go if possible.

H. F.

I really enjoy going to this supermarket. Recently the staff have really improved with their English and are very polite every time I go in. The stock is extremely cheap, and produce looks fresh. Its a nice place to buy ingredients of all kinds for Asian cuisine. Large selections frozen meats, lots of sweet treats, and a large isle of cheaper instant noodles - great for the average hungry student like myself who is craving sodium.

The shop has a variety of food and vegetables. The price is cheap too. However, the aisle is very narrow and the environment is kinda dark and crowded. Service is good. But may come again for essentials but would prefer to explore other shops to see if there are alternatives.

m. m.

Formerly korean shop in Bryndwr , moved to Bush Inn ten to fifteen year . Selling chinese produces now , maybe some korean produces . Chinese servants , narrow corridor / insufficient room . Very crowded . Big big Carpark but always full .

A. L.

We found heaps of fresh vegetables everyday. Most importantly, they're not packed in plastic, which is really good for the environment. Unfortunately, everything else that was imported from Asia was packed in plastic, but that's unavoidable. Price point wise, the vegetables are really affordable and fresh. We found most of the ingredients we need here - herbal soup ingredients, red beans, black beans, sago, and so so many more!

P. C.

You can find real bargains here. Not all staff is bellow supermarket bench mark but there are pretty good deals on fresh veggies.

A. G.

It's a good place for shopping for vegetables which I found out to be cheaper than paknsave or countdown . I'm not really interested in other native chinese products but they seem to have a huge collection of those items for those who are interested. It's always busy in the store and have to stand in long queue for paying the bill. Have to stand in queue without gaps unlike in other stores in NZ or else someone will creep in between😉.

C. B.

An excellent variety of Asian food which attract a large clientele. Unfortunately it is cramped for room and with two and occasionally three checkouts operating the queues are long and snake down very narrow aisles. These test not only the patience of those waiting to pay but also shoppers who have great difficulty accessing shelves obstructed by the queues.

s. u.

Love buying vegetables, fruits, Asian condiments and everything else from this shop. Would be nicer if they can look into diversifying to online shopping so items can be accessible on their website for customers to purchase it anytime they like instead of crowding up in their congested shop.

T. H.

Good store. I was looking for lemongrass and Galangal, found both (frozen). Galangal sometimes is not rasy to find. Friendly eople who run the shop.

O. S.

It is the go to Chinese or SE Asia grocery store to go to in Christchurch. A large store with a many varieties of fresh produce, dried and cold items. A good Japanese section tucked at the end of the store. Can get busy during peak hours.

C. M.

Chinese Asian markets, variaty choices of fresh veggies, rice, grains, fast noodles etc. And there's a skin care store at the back with hudge collection of NZ products. Best one so far we've found in Southisland.

F. E.

Busy supermarket, opens straight into vege section. It is a bit cramped and there is generally crowded. Lots of options for different Asian countries foods including some baking and large freezer section. Check out can be a wait and is quite tight.

s. s.

Everything that you need! Most Asian groceries - dried or frozen. Some exotic fruits such as frozen Durian, fresh lychee and Dragon Fruit. Taiwanese owner operated chain stores, another one is located in Wigram. Lots of Taiwanese food and products can be found here at a reasonable price.

G. D.

Fantastic range for us flexitarian eaters - there are so many alt meats and wide range of amazing vegetables fresh and frozen. Picture of my two favourite things atm! <3

o. m.

Great Asian food supermarket and pharmacy. Pretty much everything you need under one roof fresh, frozen, caned, dried goods. Has skin care and pharmacy goods at great pricing.

V. W.

almost everything about making asian food you can find in this place. The car parking is time limited. BE AWARE OF THE TIME OTHERWISE SOMEONE GONNA TOW AWAY YOUR VECHILE OR LOCK IT. The milk tea shops there provide popular asian style bubble tea. Have a try the fish and chips shop is not bad. Well thi place has an awesome Dounuts shop-' Taro cake is my first recommend.

H. W. K.

It is Chinese food supermarket. You can purchase most of Chinese food staffs at there. But the place space is little bit small so you have to be careful to pass the other customers. And also you need to wait to pay at the cashier as there are too many customers in weekend.

李.

Small and it's crowded all the time. Most of the things are pretty cheap here, and many Taiwaneses stuffs, which are great.

C. L.

Ehh really nice store. but sometimes really really crowded and dirty

D. C.

Excellent place to get your Asian cooking needs. Store layout isn't the best. Large variety of different sauces and fresh tofu

E. H.

Great place to get Asian items to cook. If you are like me, European, then it payes to have an Asian friend with you to explain items you can buy here.There is a great variety of foods

N. T.

High quality Asian food groceries with great prices.

J. C.

They stock so many different types of snacks and drinks that I grew up with and are not able tobbe easily purchased here! Their vegetables are also much fresher and cheaper

T. D.

We had an amazing time and love the large selection of meat and vegetables.Thanks for the great service and fantastic quality of food you have to offer.stay safe

W. C.

Great varieties of products, staffs always seem busy arranging and refilling items on the rack. Quite narrow and small but compact.

Y. H.

Great range in Asian food products. Till is a bit slow and always big que though. Still worth to wait for that. Best Asian super market so far I know in christchurch.

D. K.

A very nice Chinese supermarket. Prices are cheap. The only Chinese supermarket in Christchurch. But the grammar they put is sometimes inaccurate so it may be a bit hard to understand.

g. s.

Really good store. Always busy but lucky found a carpark easily this time. Wide selection of Asian goods available.

I. W.

The go to place for Chinese ingredients and snacks in Christchurch. Also have a separate souvenir shop down the back.

T. M.

Great asian supply shop with a good range of foods

C. Z.

A must place to visit if you love Asian cuisine, especially Chinese cuisine you can get all the fresh vegetables, ingredients, meat,snacks even Chinese medicines.

R. s.

Lot of fresh veges, girl was super helpful, got me small trolley to take my groceries out to the car , also she offered me she can help me take them out ..

R. B.

Bought some bowls and pineapple juice if they don't have that special thing you need nobody else will

C. H.

A quick and convenient Asian food store here I visit quite often when I haven't got time to go to church corner

F. N.

Prepare to bump into other people in the shop. Space allows very minimal movement. Too many scattered asian commodities in the shop but you can surely find what you need with great competitive prices. The prices of New Zealand products here are very very good. This is where I send my overseas friends to buy their souvenirs from.

My partner visited here, she says always very good, everyone follows protocol, great range.

H. G.

Very convinent Lots of Chinese food and Asian food with good price. Hot pot material available! 吃火锅买羊肉片的地方！

R. R.

Cheaper to buy from here then at supermarket if youre buying to make asain style food. Veggies are also slighty cheaper

B. D.

The wife & daughter love the produce from here. Chinese snacks for the daughter too. Very happy.

K. W.

Less plastic packaging than the supermarket. Good prices on fruit & vege in season. A better selection & prices than supermarket

K. T.

This place is OK for all your Asian supplies, reasonable prices and plenty to choose from, plenty of parking and easy access.

R. K.

A good selection of well organized stock on the shelves but their checkouts are very cramp and can be slow if you chose the wrong one

c. f. c.

It s neat and tidy, comparing other Asian supermarkets at Church Corner. But its price is slightly more expensive than others.

G. F.

Cheap and good variety. Health supplements cheapest around probably. Sometimes the queues are too long though.

H. P. P.

Good 👍

M. G. P. (.

Well organized products, clean. they have Korean and Japanese grocery as well. Had Good experience.

f. n.

Quite well stocked with variety of products, including vegetables, also have mung beans, red beans, and lots more, such as health products too

Good range of asian food and ingredients. Sells groceries as well. Is a bit narrow and crowded at times.

O. L.

Lots of different products. Best Asian grocery shop the n Christchurch

Y. E.

Nice environment, good price, good variety of goods, but not enough parking during perk hours

C. L.

Smaller than I remember, hardly any shops open. This was like at 9:45 am. Quite disappointed,

W. R.

Good variety of asian food products certainly the place to find what you are looking for at a reasonable price

S. R.

Has all those things you just can't find, though very small market that is hard to get around. Don't expect a smile or any help, it is a Chinese market after all.
