Busy and nothing that I was really looking to buy. We were warned by several people about pickpockets but had no trouble personally. It is funny that motorbikes came through the market despite it supposedly being closed to traffic.

This night market cannot be compared with Bangkok night market or similar. Narrow streets make it worse when it is crowded. Beware of prices. They may ask 10 times more than the actual price.

We went to the night market hoping to score some warmer clothes to wear. We found everything to be of poor quality and overpriced. I'm not sure what would interest foreign travelers at the market. There are no crafts and the only decent clothing we found was Chinese and much more expensive than the local products. So, unless you just... More

Market is too crowded..lots of locals pushing and shoving. Stalls selling the same old stuff, low quality though...but be careful as you approach the END of the market at the barricade just before the 3 FRUIT STALLS (at intersection of Hang Dao & Cau Go). A very 'organised' group of women (well dressed) will aim for their targets and as... More

Nice to have a night-time activity like this in the Old Quarter. But the range of products was very limited; lots of "sameness." Not the variety of stuff like you'd see in a Hong Kong night market, for example. And it's supposed to be a pedestrian zone for the night market -- so what is it with all the motorbikes... More

We went there to have dinner... They have a lot of restaurants and they look all the same! :) I don't know if we asked for wrong plates or if the food is not that good, but it was kind of a deception... :( may be we have to give it another chance! :)

Fun to walk around and see what the locals are in a frenzy over (dried squid). These markets are mostly aimed at locals, but you can find a few nice things. Remember to haggle.

This is a by average market. I expected so much more and when you consider how big it is, it is quite disappointing. It is very repetitive with stall after stall selling the same thing. I also noted a reluctance for vendors to negotiate prices (i.e. one item 250,000 dong, two items the same 500,000 dong). I expected much better... More

Very hectic, crowded with more locals than tourists. Watch out for pick pockets
