Georgeous little venue situated on the main ponsonby drag. Tried the wok tossed squid. Great tasting dish loved the mint and chilli in it. Main was the twice cooked beef cheeks. Very nice but a bit on the sweet side. Was 50/50 on the beef vs the massaman. I guess ill have to come back? Not a large amount of food for the price but its quality.
Been here for a spontaneous birthday party , food come up pretty quick . The worst dish is Chicken lemongrass in claypot > never order it if you cant have chicken liver . Highly recommend pork belly and wok flat rice noodle .
Dined here for dinner. Attentive staff Fast serviceCosy ambienceFood:Ordered the Camelised pulled pork with pork crackers, was a little too sweet for me. The sweetness overshadowed the pork flavour and other flavours in the dish. For mains we ordered the Massaman Lamb curry and Stir fried eggplant with tofu. The curry was smooth and rich while the eggplant was very flavourful and nice and spicy. Overall a nice experience.
Food: 4.5/5Location: 5/5Service: 4/5Atmosphere: 4/5I came here on Christmas eve a few years ago and again recently. Both times, the food was really good! The food makes me feel so comfortable, relaxed, ahhh. It’s always a perfect blend of flavour, texture, and the perfect amount of sauce. There is a huge variety in every dish and it always makes me feel so excited to eat!The only downside was that on the day I went, the fans were on and it was really cold.Other than that, I’m just going to say that this is one of my favourite thai restaurants for food!
Friendly staff, warm service, nice environment and tasty food. I like their rice and entree. But main with sauce was too strong for me. Dessert was good. Real thai cuisine
Very impressed with the service at Saan. We had two absolutely lovely, knowledgeable and graceful waitresses who made the start of our evening so enjoyable. Unsure of what to pick, these ladies talked us through diner favourites and ensured we would be well fed! The flavours were so balanced, therefore even the dishes that were labelled as spicier just hummed rather than having us reaching for water. The mussaman curry was the dish of the night, with a sauce so intense every person at our table went back for seconds. The prawn and chicken noodles were yummy, and the pork belly was also a table hit! Only item we werent crazy about – the smaller wrapped fish. It was very small and flavour wise didnt seem to fit with the other dishes, so wasnt quite our cup of tea.
I came here with a friend recently on a Friday night and had an excellent time. Its surprisingly light and spacious inside (unlike many other dinner establishments in Ponsonby) so Id recommend coming here for dinner in summer. Judging from other reviews, I was prepared for every dish to be spicy. This was mostly true, but it didnt stop me from enjoying the vast majority of what we ate. The highlight for me was the chicken noodle dish; it was pretty much Malaysian kuey teow with Saans very own sriracha served separately on the side. The market fish was flavourful and bright, but a little too spicy for my liking.Everyone raves about the soft shell crab appetiser and I can confirm that its definitely worth trying. I especially liked the medium spicy sauce that sat under the bits of crab. For veges, we ordered the mushrooms and bok choy. This came with tofu and some crunchy bits (shallots?) that created an interesting contrast of texture. We received great service throughout, with only one minor mishap that we didnt bother correcting them about. Overall, very happy to recommend Saan and Im looking forward to bringing more friends here in the near future!
