626 Night Market

626 night market at Pleasanton was super fun! We went on a Sunday, May 4th. We planned to go early before the crowd gets there. We arrived at 1:30 pm. We expected to eat a bunch of food that we don’t get to try outside of the Bay Area. Upon entering, we were greeted with a booth team who were selling vouchers. We bought the voucher that was $20. This allowed us to get 4 freebies from 6 participating food vendors. The vouchers were nice as it helped us pick out fillers between the food vendors we actually wanted to try. For the voucher vendors, we tried: - Baozza! - pepperoni bao buns - Taiyooki - fried pancake with macha/viet coffee mochi filling - Mojo - strawberry, marshmallow, grape tanghulu - Sushi Confidential - fried chicken gyoza The food vendors we paid out of pocket: - musubi - lechon musubi - taho silk classic hot & turon with ube ice cream - super lamb skewer The food was super good! Because we went during the day, it was bright and sunny! Make sure to bring a hat, shades and an umbrella. Parking was easy in and an easy out. We purchased our tickets online before going. I used the eventbrite app for both our tickets. Show QR code upon entering. We also brought a bag in. We filled it with jackets and water. Looking forward for the next event.

I recently visited the 626 Night Market with my cousins, and even though I’d heard so much about it, I approached it with mixed feelings. As a foodie, I was excited to explore, but I’m not a fan of waiting in long lines, especially when I can just visit a restaurant instead—though we were there to celebrate a special occasion. Tip: Definitely arrive early and purchase your tickets in advance! We made the mistake of rushing to the first stalls and missed out on the full experience because we didn’t realize there was an entire other side to explore. Lesson learned! Wear comfortable shoes! Sunscreen! Hand Sanitizer! Now, onto the food: the grilled squid was delicious, and the fried potatoes were an absolute must-try—especially when they’re hot and fresh. The tanghulu was fantastic, though a bit pricey; I’d suggest trying to make it at home if you can. The balut was good, and the grilled lamb was a standout—it was absolutely fire! However, the Thai rice patty sandwich was disappointing, so I’d recommend skipping that. There’s so much to see and experience at the market, from tasty food to fun games. We even had a great time playing games, and all the cousins walked away with stuffed animals! Overall, we had a blast, and I recommend checking it out if you enjoy vibrant atmospheres and unique eats. Just remember to plan ahead for the best experience!

The food was phenomenal and a great variety to try! The experience felt like it was missing something as you can only eat so much at a time. The variety of vendors felt limited and there didn't feel like much entertainment. So if there was more entertainment it would have been a 5 star for me.

The 626 Night Market is a fun and lively event offering a diverse range of foods from various countries. I highly recommend coming with a group and sharing dishes to try a bit of everything—otherwise, it can get pricey. Our experience was fantastic, with a great selection of food and drinks. We even stopped by the Johnnie Walker booth for a few rounds of samples. In addition to the food, there are several booths selling merchandise and a live DJ keeping the atmosphere vibrant. I’ll definitely be returning! Be sure to arrive early, as it gets more crowded later in the evening.

This was actually so fun! Out of all the food festivals I've gone to, this was actually the best experience. Good food, albeit a bit overpriced like usual. Easy and free parking. There's also tents of independent artists selling merch and some festival games. Very fun summer vibe to go with friends and enjoy the liveliness.

Heard great things about this popular night market, but it fell short. Sure, there’s lots of vendors to try which is fun, but the price is ridiculous (even for LA lol). I mean, just as an example, 2 milk teas were $25….. Food & drinks weren’t bad, but it’s nothing special. We spent close to $200 but didn’t even get that full because they were all SMALL portions. Tbh, I’d rather eat at a nice restaurant for that amount. Overall, out of the many night markets we’ve been to in other states/countries, this was eh.

We liked the different types of foods that are at "626 Night Market in Arcadia California. The first thing we did was buy a refillable container/drink at Exotic Juices. We were charged $35 with a $5 tip . The staff handed me a card and told us that we have unlimited refills and we can go to two of their locations. When we finished our first drink, which was 50% ice. We stopped by the second location for a refill. The staff took our ticket and said this was the last refill. Two refills for $35.00. Yes , we can keep the container. Maybe? $15.00 per refill with 50% ice. Yikes!!!! I am in the wrong business. I thought the Jamaican food was the most delicious and authentic food at the "626 Night Market.

Parking is free, however food and drinks are not cheap. Well worth the trip though we really liked the experience. Plenty of food choices 😋. Great atmosphere and friendly vendors.
