    Vibrant little night market. Wide variety of street food. Decent, taste-wise. Local recommendations were the fried chicken drumsticks, the oyster omelette and the shaved ice. The chicken and the shaved ice were nice but not remarkable. We didn’t try the oyster omelette but the one in the photograph had the longest queue and smelled so much better than the others.

    Smaller than expected night market which provides various local cuisine. Love the stinky tofu and duck blood soup and the fried chicken, fresh guava juice. If you are after the famous oyster omelette, expect long queue and at least half an hour waiting time. My personal rating for this place is 4.2/5

    Is a night market that serves it’s locals very well! Very delicious food, quick turnaround times for most stalls. Some mentions include the oyster omelette, fried squid with cucumber, mushroom and braised meat rice amongst others! Crowded on both weekends and weekday nights so expected some squeeze - but that’s what makes night markets special and unique. Definitely a must visit night market in Taipei other than your usual Shilin :)

    It’s not the biggest market but it does have tremendous numbers of food shops around due to the 3 lines for food shops. Beside having typical foods you can find in any Taiwanese night market, there are many uncommon foods that you can hardly see in night market such as Hongkong style porridge, fried taro ball filled with pork floss and salted egg yolks, or shrimp pancake.

    It can be easily accessed from the Zhongshan metro station - just 10 minutes walk. Stalls start preparation at 1630. At 1730, food are almost ready when people start coming to this place. To enjoy food without too much waiting time, it is suggested to visit here before 1800. Here's a lot of hot food, ranging from grilling seafood, skewers and local Taiwanese dishes. People usually pick "fried stink Tofu", fried ube ball, fried sweet potato ball and fresh juices.

    Typical night market. We went on a Friday night around 8 pm, and it was packed. It was tight because they made the lane so small that only three people across can walk through. The vendors have lots of space for their work areas that it takes up the majority of the streets width. Lots of good looking food, we had the fried squid, Korean fried chicken with sweet chili sauce, and shaved peanut ice cream; all of these were good. It's a toss up for me between Ningxia and Linjiang.

    This is probably the best night market for eating in Taiwan. There are many eating options, no matter in restaurants or on the street. You must find something good to eat. Most street vendors provide seats where you can sit down and enjoy your meal or snack, which is different from other night markets.

    Really awesome night market. You’ll find all of your favorite Taiwanese dishes here - loved the dumplings and buns, nice pork rice, and they have some other treats as well. Big crowds so be ready for the hustle and bustle.

    Not the biggest night market in Taipei, but more of a true local market and less of a tourist attraction then say Shilin market. It’s basically one long strip of stalls, but on the sides there are some excellent restaurants, in particular Yuen Huan Pien Oyster Omelette. Obviously all these stalls take cash only, so keep that in mind. A lot of stalls however didn’t win me over, as there were a lot of fatty, deep fried gimmicky stuff. The wagyu beef stall in my opinion is a total fraud; I’ve tasted plenty of wagyu beef in my time and I don’t believe they are serving what they say. Wish there was more variety. That said, I did find the restaurants on the side far better options. Lastly, I highly recommend the 7-Eleven at the end of the market that serves tap beer! One of the few convenient stores that do this.

    Some great local eats here. I found that it was a little less commercial and had some more unique foods than other night markets. Particularly popular was the oyster omelette and deep fried taro balls. There are some sitting areas to eat with certain restaurants. Would recommend this if you’re in the area!

    Quite a lot of unique food choices considering it’s a relatively smaller night market. All the vendors we dealt with were super friendly and patient with us (specially as non-locals who are unable to speak Mandarin!). Easy to completely experience the area and do a walk-through within an hour, just allocate more time if you intend to try lots of the food as some stalls have pretty long lines. There were also a lot of local games being played. Overall, a good option for a quick night market run!

    All the food stalls we tried were amazing. It can get crowded but lines run quick. Prices were super good and you have so many options that I would just recommend to go with someone so you can share! It was vibrant and nice atmosphere. If there’s a line just get on it, you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised!

    The night market experience is not just about shopping and dining; it's a social and cultural event where locals and tourists alike come together to explore, taste, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're haggling for a good deal, trying exotic street food, or simply soaking in the dynamic atmosphere, Taipei's night markets are a sensory feast that captures the essence of the city's culinary and cultural richness.

    Considered small but different from night markets. Very crowded when I was there. All sorts of night market foods as expected. One of my fav was the grilled seafood. Yummy and very inexpensive. Really liked the experience. Absolutely recommended.

    Ningxia Night Market is a popular night market in Taipei, Taiwan. It is known for its wide variety of food, from Taiwanese street food to international cuisine. The market is also very crowded, so be prepared to wait in line for popular dishes. The vendors at Ningxia Night Market do not speak English very well, so it is helpful to know some basic Chinese or use sign language to communicate.

  • 4/5 Calcen C. 3 months ago on Google • 224 reviews New
    Nice night market with a lot of local food options. We went on 29 dec and it was very crowded. The nice stalls have queues but they move relatively fast. I like how the night market is linear with one central path where you walk along and see the stalls, but because of this, the path is congested. Once you got your food, you can go to the edge of the road and eat then go back into the main central path and continue to check out other food. There are also merchandise on another end of the night market road. Tip: keep enough cash on hand.

    Very thin and long market, it's so fun to dive deep in there, you can find here all kind of food you can expect in Taipei from soup to dessert, from seafood to beef, everything is in those small alley. So find a shop, take a seat wherever it's possible, make your own place, take time to fix, watch the human traffic and you will enjoy a wonderful moment and an unforgettable meal. Have fun!

    A good place to find good local eats, stopped by a few stalls to try some food, the fried milk 炸鲜奶 wasn’t my favourite as it was too sweet and I think it would be better shared amongst several people if not it’s too overwhelming in taste. The 盐酥鸡 fried popcorn chicken was crispy and tasted good especially right when it was out of the pot. It was rather value for money as well at 50twd. Next I tried the quail egg, 鸟蛋 which gave me the opportunity to brush on my own sauces and put the powder on which I enjoyed. The lady boss was also very friendly although she was very busy.

    Small, but packed with all kinds of food stands. The longer the queue, the better the food. If you arrive on a Saturday, prepare to stand in lines.

    We strolled from Dadaocheng to Ningxia, and the walking time was reasonable. Comparable to other night markets in Taiwan, Ningxia is a fantastic destination for food and leisurely walks, offering a wide variety of snacks and beverages. Despite not being conveniently located near any subway stations, it is definitely worth visiting to soak in the lively night atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Shih-Shin C. 10 months ago on Google
    Super crowded for a Monday night. Long lines at multiple stalls, such as the stuffed squid. We ended up waiting in line for about 20 minutes to get the squid. It was worth the wait. Like all night markets, there were a lot of things to try. Again, many of the stalls had a long line. Must be really good.

  • 5/5 RAKESH K. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a nice experience for me. So many food stalls with variety of dishes. Foods are not expensive and different types of games are available for kids.

  • 4/5 Isaac L. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a very well known night market in Taipei as they provide various local foods. Just make sure you are ready for the heat or the way Taiwanese eat in the market and I confirm you that this will be a great time in Taipei. From Stinky Tofu till Duck head, from Grilled Squids till traditional dessert.. this will be the best place for you to ope your mind to discover the street food in Taiwan

  • 3/5 Derrick B. 2 years ago on Google
    They offered a lot of discounts when using the Taiwan Pay app. The market is pretty small. But it has delicious food

  • 5/5 Oceane Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Among all the night markets in Taipei, I'd say this is one of the best. It's not a big market but the average quality of food is definitely the highest. Here you can find the best oyster omelet, chicken rice, pork liver soup, sesame oil chicken soup, etc.

  • 4/5 Huyen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food night market! Lots of foods like oyster omelettes, sticky rice, stinky tofu, fried squid, shaved ice and mochi, noodles 🍜 etc....Look for the vendors with long lines and get in line.. There’s a small area for carnival games too. Not for shopping. Recommend for food lovers.

  • 5/5 Michelle 2 years ago on Google
    This might be my fav night market for food! Lots of old school flavors like oyster omelettes, oyster vermicelli noodles, stinky tofu, fried squid, shaved ice and mochi, peanut ice cream roll, etc. Look for the vendors with long lines and get in line. They all move relatively fast. There’s a small area for carnival games too. No clothes shopping though.

    I came here with friends,but we felt food is normal,including the famous 芋頭餅、蚵仔煎 and crowded so need to wait and I thought if the same price and the time ,maybe eat a restaurant will be better

    Ningxia Night Market is a smaller but still popular Taipei market that is focused on good food snacks. The delicious vendor stalls setup each evening in a stretch along the street, and there are many permanent restaurant fronts as well. I was intrigued by the torched Wagyu beef cubes that are cut and prepared with a bright flame in front of your eyes. The quality of meat is excellent with the volcanic salt. It's not everyday that you find a cook using blowtorch to cook your steak. It's also worth trying the traditional Taiwanese oyster egg omelette at Yuan Huan Bian which is also recommended by Michelin guide. Fresh off the conveyor belt, the starchy dish has plenty of oyster and is topped with a sweet hot sauce. Visiting Taipei on a solo trip had one distinct disadvantage and it was that one's food tasting option is limited based on stomach size! The market opens early so you can come to make the dinner rounds. There's also plenty of fruit drinks and unique desserts like lemon aiyu jelly at reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 Arvin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to find big meals or just snacks. It’s not that big but enough to feed your belly. The foods are not boring. They have things that are different from the other night markets.

  • 5/5 Johann I. 1 year ago on Google
    Ningxia night market is a relatively small night market located in the Datong district. This would be the best place to cap your walking tour in one of Taipei's oldest districts. Despite being on the smaller side for night markets Ningxia boast great culinary variety and hosts a few Bib gourmand awardees. If you dont like crowds but love the night market experience Ningxia would be the place for you. The Oyster omelette is definitely the main reason to visit Ningxia. This restaurant has been serving this dish since 1965. This is best eaten with the sticky pork rice.

  • 5/5 ZH G. 1 year ago on Google
    lively market. lots of good food. i recommend the braised pork rice with soup and a soft boiled egg. put the egg in your rice and break the yolk and it's super yummy. i also had the fried taro balls with egg yolk and pork floss in it, it's better than the one with just taro. lots and lots of food options. mochi lovers can also enjoy the warm soft mochi or mochi with shaved ice.

  • 5/5 Fifty2weekhi 1 year ago on Google
    It's the typical Taipei night market scene - people and mesmerising choices of foods in high concentrations. The Ningxia Street is relatively wide, but I don't know why the hawkers section is set up to be relatively more narrow than others. Especially where there is line forming, it'd be shoulders to shoulders to go through. So many choices but there is one notable food that sports multiple vendors, oyster omelettes. There were more than 6 restaurants, so if you're a fan, this is the place for it. Yuen Huan Pien Oyster Egg Omelettes has the longest line and is your number one choice for its allegedly bigger oysters. Lai Ji Oyster Omelettes is another touted, but that one has no seating area so to go only. Prices range from NT$70 - NT$80. You can't really go wrong with any of them. Another popular stalk is Liu Yu Zi for its deep fried taro balls with egg yoke fillings. Yet another one with a long line is grilled chicken on a skewer. I couldn't remember the name. We also found crabs seasoned with basil and Taiwanese BBQ sauce, very atypical. But it's obviously a take-home dish as it's messy and time consuming to eat.

  • 5/5 Shane B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is by far one of the best night markets in Taipei. This one is very busy because the food is so good. Best known for the dumplings. The crab legs here are so amazing and delicious. Must come for a bite to eat or get some fresh juice!

  • 5/5 Carlotta C. 1 year ago on Google
    A must go place for any food lover. Many different options. Some Bib gourmand stalls from the Michelin guide. It's highly recommended to arrive early, around 5pm. After it gets very crowded.
