    We love night markets for the food, so we didn’t really care much about the other side of the market. It’s clean and well-organized. It’s not a huge food market, but there are still plenty of options. Do yourself a favor and try the fresh, homemade mochi from the vendor at the entrance—it’s definitely worth it!

The food is cheap, generous, and packed with flavour—perfect for grazing your way through the night without breaking the bank. From sizzling street eats to classic local bites, there’s something for every craving. What really stands out is the vibe. It’s lively but still feels safe and welcoming, even late at night. The vendors are friendly, often happy to chat or recommend their best dishes, which adds to the whole experience. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for budget-friendly eats, a relaxed atmosphere, and a true taste of local street culture.
