Sunson Asian Food Market is an Asian supermarket at 17 Lodestar Ave in Wigram, Christchurch, on the Sockburn side of the city, holding a 4.4 rating on Google.
Asian grocers live by turnover: leafy greens like bok choy and gai lan arrive in small, frequent lots, so the best greens follow delivery day rather than sitting all week. The pantry shelves are where the value sits, with big bags of rice, soy sauces and noodles usually well under big-chain prices, and freezers holding dumplings and buns that mainstream supermarkets rarely stock. Regulars learn the rhythm: shop soon after deliveries for the freshest vegetables, and ask staff to point you to the right sauce — or to order something in.
For home cooks in Wigram and the surrounding suburbs, that puts a well-stocked Asian pantry just down the road.
