    Honestly I donโ€™t understand some of the reviews here. I had a good time. I went on the last day of the event. I bought tickets online, very easily. We got their an hour early, parked and passed security. The parking space was a couple minutes walk but they had carts all around the location driving people to the main gate. The security line was decently quick. When we got in there is a lot of shopping vendors such as: jewelry, cute anime and K-pop items, stickers, crafted items, etc. They are small business so of course some items are a-bit pricey. Me and my friend bought matching rings. They were around 20-25 each but they are create quality and served us well all year. Furthermore, there were a-lot of food vendors and many choices. Some places took only cash and some were only card. It really depends. We tried those baby bottles with fruity drink( it was very hot that day), they gave you a free refill and a reusable bottle. I do recommend doing some research on the vendors through their instagram or website so you have an idea of what you want because it can get pretty overwhelming with that many choices. We tried ramen, lobster sandwiches, beef gyros, mini donuts, and some type mini sandwiches. All really good and fresh. Yes it was a bit pricey but most events like that are. I believe itโ€™s okay to splurge for an new experience. On a different note, I should have brought a picnic blanket to sit on the grass. The tables were very hard to get even in the early hours. There was a small stage and the DJ and live music really added to the atmosphere. Overall, if you come prepared and early you sure to enjoy the event more. If you never been you should definitely give it a try. Enjoy yourself and be safe! Update: went to the event again this year on a Sunday. It was more empty than last year but to be expected it was the last day of the event. The food trucks that stayed were decent but the venders really shined this time. A lot of cute and cool items to shop. I really enjoyed myself as it was a perfect day for a picnic.

    If you like to a pay $5 entry fee per person and $15 to park so you can stand in line to enter an over crowed place to buy food from portable carnival food booths and food trucks in the direct sun on a hot day this is the place for you. I'm not kidding , they didn't have any shade over the tables to eat your food. We ended up leaving and eating in downtown Pleasanton in the shade.

    Night walk, snacking/eating and games on the fairground. This is fun to do. I enjoyed it. Lots of food options: Filipino, Hawaiian, sushi, Maine lobsters, etc

    Wow, the place was packed with food trucks! We drove for about 50 minutes to get there, and I've never seen so many food trucks in one spot before. Lots of people were there to enjoy the weekend. It's kind of like a festival, but I must say, the food quality could have been much better. Honestly, everything was quite expensive for the portion size and taste. A large soda cost 40 dollars, and a corn ice cream was 24 dollars! To make matters worse, they often charged extra for credit card payments. We'd be thrilled to return if they could just improve the food quality and the service.

    This is the 3rd year I went to 626 Night Market in Bay Area at Pleasanton, California. The weather in May is warm in the afternoon and it gets windy and cold at night. This year in 2023 has more independent brand booths and jewelry booths. Also, I like how they have a separate area of Stussy outlet clothing sale. It has the vibe of Korea clothing market. The food is as good as last year. They added new stalls like Wofflebake Japanese souffle pancakes, Egghausted tamagoyaki, and couple sugarcane juices. My favorites are Tasty House Xinjiang lamb skewers and the wiggling japanese pancakes. Location is good for east bay area residents. This is as big as the 626 night market in Santa Anita. Even the food prices are on the higher side, I will go again for tasty food from different culture.

    I've seen this market all over my Instagram as the top things to do in the bay area, and it's certainly worth a one night trip. While they do charge an entry fee, it's quite affordable for $5 a night, or $9 for the weekend. Be warned though that much of the food is very, very expensive in the market area! There is parking right by the venue, but that also costs money ($17). We ended up parking across the street at a lot that wasn't super full. When you first enter the market, there's lot of trinket stores with merch, stickers, and art. A lot of the designs were super cute and punny! I didn't buy anything due to the price, but I loved the vibes and really enjoyed the items - major props to the artists! The food is in a second, connected section, with vendors all around the sides and some carnival games and seating in the middle. As mentioned above, food was expensive but scrumptious, so it was worth having the experience once! We didn't try the carnival games. Overall, I enjoyed coming here with friends since we shared a variety of foods and just got the walk around and talk! But its not something I would do again since it's just very pricey for me.

    I didn't like it very much, a lot of oriental food, many stalls with oriental things, I didn't find anything to stay longer than a couple of hours. I wouldn't go back.

    It was fun to go to an outdoor night market. Some food are very good (like the sushi hand roll), some are average (BBQ chicken and muchi) and some are over priced and not good at all - the Filipino sissic was good (expensive though with a free plate), but the fried pork with noodles at the same place was really really bad. Pork was tough with no taste and noodles was all broken again with not much flavor. Both at this Filipino place are way over priced. In the shipping areas, most of the places sell Asian style cute stuff animals, would be nice to have more varieties.
