MAJI Square

I stumbled upon this place by pure luck! The vibe is amazing, and there's tons of food to choose from thanks to all the street vendors. I went over the weekends, which is probably why there are so many stalls for me to check out. It's super chill and relaxing..

Came here on the recommendation of the doorman at my hotel, was perfect stop after Taipei Fine Arts Museum as it’s just across the street. I went on a Saturday, so there were both the permanent stalls as well as a farmers market, which made for two adventures in one spot! I just followed the lead of the locals and found myself at a stall selling the best shrimp wonton soup I’ve had here, then roamed the market to buy some snack and drinks. Tons of families here and a nice mixing of locals and tourists.

A cool place with lots of bars and restaurants.. a variety of cuisines available and vegetarian options as well.. best to visit on Saturday or Sunday if looking to party.

I will definitely be going back here for festivals, or whatever else I find out is going on there. The atmosphere is a complete vibe!! Food, shops and music what else can you ask for!!

There is a decent international food court (covered, but not air conditioned) here, and the food is decent and not over priced. There are also a number of restaurants (international) and other shops and weekend stalls here as well. It's definitely worth a visit. There is also live music from time to time. The main downside is that many of the food court stalls are unoccupied and not all the shops and food court stalls are open on weekdays. The food court seating could be improved - the tables are a bit oversized with a lack of chairs/seats, and can get crowded. And of course, without air conditioning, it can still get hot.

Very festive environment with multiple restaurants, bars and music venues. There's even a night club. The place is usually busy by 9PM

Great spot for a drink loads of cool places. DJ playing creates a great vibe The Brazilian corner really good food, great beef. The pizza shop was really good bit expensive but really good.

We attended the JD BBQ Festival 2023 and it was fun. Food was great, drink was flowing, music was loud, met some new people and had ourselves a great time. Lots of foreigners here, lots of bars and restaurants to eat and enjoy. Also lots of cosplayers walking around showing off their fancy costumes. It is definitely an interesting place to visit on the weekend.

after playing all those claw machines, just come here on a Sat afternoon and check out the $50 NT stall to buy many similar stuff. food and farmer's market with restaurants (some container style) and street performers. loud with the planes constantly landing overhead.

Interesting place to visit at the Expo. Many selections of non-Taiwanese food. Has a small market selling international beer, and sauces. Should come during the weekend for their farmers' market.

Without question Maji Maji Square is one of my favourite places in Taipei City. It's best to come by here on weekends because Maji Maji Square is open on weekends. Basically there Maji Maji Square is a kind of market place. It's an open air square. The walkways travels between permanent store fixtures and rows of market vendors. Taipei has a lot of Asian night market culture, but there are less of these kinds of day time slow living markets. Maji Maji Square is great because of the variety it offers. There are a number of restaurants and bars around - Three Lion's Pub, a great Japanese Restaurant and some others. There's also a stage, where local performers entertain crowds. If you're wanting to sample some international tastes there are extremely affordable food vendors, and chairs and tables for visitors to enjoy their bites. What's more there are loads of boutique stores and awesome crafts to view in the market place.

If you are in Taipei and you're looking for something fun and a bit less touristy to do (this is now pretty touristy but still...just roll with me), you should check out Maji Square! Maji Square was established after the Floral Expo, there are food stalls and a food court that offer a wide arrange of cuisines: Indian, Mexican, Thai, Taiwanese... and of course lots of specialty stores like cold pressed juice and craft beer. There is a farmer's market on the weekends and is pretty weather friendly - minus hot summer days since there isn't much to do about the heat at the food court. I do like that there are restaurants and live music and there used to be an outdoor cinema experience at night a couple years ago. Worth making a trip for!

I only just discovered this place tonight, and I've been wondering what else I've been missing around Taipei all these years. I've even been nearby and never discovered this bit of awesomeness. The Maji Maji is similar in some ways to a high-end hawker centre in Singapore. There is a long line of food stalls, where they also play movies on the weekends for free, from about a dozen different countries. There's also a stage where a live band will play, and a cluster of decent restaurants towards the far end. Everything is sparkly new, well-decorated, and producing decent food. I say "decent" because it's still a tourist trap, so don't put your expectations too high. There are cool little boutiques selling everything from clothing to toys, and a couple of cool eateries and a deli. However, this place is a breath of fresh air in Taipei. It's a cosmopolitan, multicultural area that is best poster child for gentrification I can find. This was previously a bunch of crappy kiosks ripping off people going to a concert or sporting event. Now it's a little oasis of light and deliciousness. I will definitely be going back.

I had a nice time here. A good place to let a toddler run 'free' and a good place to meet friends. Also a good place to people watch. When I came (a Friday afternoon), there was a lot of activity, with a carnival set up for kids (big inflatable castles, remote drive cars for kids to sit in, etc), and then with the farmers market open, an then another nearby section of stalls for other items (including a place where the masseuse uses knives to massage your back). In another section of the large plaza there was a drum group. So, lot's to see and do and hard to get board. Also of interest, this place is directly in the landing path of planes going to Taipei Songshan Airport and so fun to see the planes flying low and directly overhead (coming about every five minutes). Easy to get to via MRT.

A lot of restaurants and cute stores are congregated around this area, which is a really good place for hangouts. This place also has a food court surrounded by small food stores that sell meals and desserts. This place is has a huge roof so you come to this place when it's raining and even when it's hot especially in the summer because it blocks the sun and the heat. I came here on a weekday so it wasn't that crowded but I heard that it gets really crowded during the weekends. I think this place is also a great area to visit at nigh because most of the stores are open until late. Definitely visit this place if you are looking for a place to hang out or coming to visit Taipei. Location is also very convenient as there are a lot of busses that stop nearby and it's also right next to Zhongshan MRT station.

Maji Food is an upscale grocery store tailored to those who want to spend more money for the same things you'd get just about anywhere else. They sell mostly foreign goods here like: olive oil, pastas, and the like. There were many items I saw here that I've seen at other grocery stores for far less. Their deli section leaves a lot to be desired. The food that had been left over seemed to have been sitting there for quite some time. I didn't bother trying anything because nothing at the deli looked too fresh.
