Ningxia Night Market

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.

Great night market and very crowded, even on weekdays. Food quality here was great. Definitely one of the better night markets Competing sweet potato ball stands. Also had good scallion pancake and stinky tofu!

Many delicious food stalls. It seems that always crowded. Not suitable for pushchairs.

One of the night markets closest to Taipei Main Station. Decent options with a lively atmosphere. The stalls are a bit too crowded but there are also restaurants on the side to choose from. I often go for the mochi shaved ice.

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.

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.

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.

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.
