Tucked into Somerfield at 3E Milton Street, San San brings a slice of Southeast Asian street food to Christchurch, drawing on the cooking traditions of Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia under one takeaway roof.
Rather than picking a single national cuisine, San San's menu spans the region - entrees, soups, salads, wok dishes and curries all feature, prepared with authentic ingredients rather than shortcuts. It's the kind of menu that lets you order a Thai curry one visit and a Vietnamese-leaning dish the next, all from the same kitchen.
San San describes itself as gluten free and vegetarian friendly, which matters for anyone who's had to scan a Southeast Asian menu carefully in the past looking for safe options. It means the flavours of the region - the balance of chilli, lime, herbs and spice that define Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese and Singaporean cooking - stay accessible without the usual caveats.
San San is set up as a takeaway operation first, with its own online ordering system alongside listings on Uber Eats and DoorDash for delivery. That flexibility means you can pick up your order in person on Milton Street or have it delivered, depending on what suits your evening.
The stated goal behind San San is simple: give people in Christchurch a good experience and make sure every visit is enjoyable. That focus on hospitality, paired with a menu built on authentic regional ingredients, is what the takeaway hangs its identity on.
San San runs dinner-only hours, opening at 4pm most days. Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday close at 8:30pm, while Thursday, Friday and Saturday stay open until 9pm - useful to know if you're planning a weekend order versus a weeknight one. The takeaway is closed all day Monday.
San San keeps an active presence on Facebook and Instagram, which is a good place to check before heading out, particularly around any changes to hours or ordering options. With a menu built across four Southeast Asian food traditions and dietary-friendly options built in, San San positions itself as a straightforward, flavour-forward takeaway choice for Christchurch's Somerfield area and beyond.
