The restaurant opens from 12:00 to 14:00 and again from 17:00 to 21:00, splitting lunch and dinner service.

Mama San is known for its food, and the website at https://www.mama-san.co.nz/mama-san-christchurch carries the details.
Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so visitors should plan around the reversed calendar. Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.
New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
