      Gives me the same vibes as Hong Kong's night market (dai pai dong). The music, the wall art, and the shows they play is very nostalgic for those who grew up in or went to Hong Kong.

      Service is quick - you order first then get served. Sometimes it gets packed at night so finding a table is hard. They have lunch and happy hour specials which is amazing especially for quick bites.

      Parking is easy since they have a parking lot. Only con is even though it's called "The Night Market" they are closed at 9pm so when I do get late night craving around 10-11pm and want to come here, I won't be able too.

      I keep saying I'll try a different rice dish, BUT, I keep returning to Night Market's Cha Siu/Roast Pork combo. In a lifetime of trying different Cantonese BBQ storefronts, there is something about how NM makes both of these pork items that evoke a warm, homey, nostalgic feeling from the inside out. Subbed Yellow Rice for Jasmine and added ginger oil sauce. Not greasy and comes with half a duck egg and cabbage under both meats.

      The XLB is also very good (one of the Happy Hour menu items) and their Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumplings, Lobster Chips are all solid.

      Usually DoorDash has a happy hour deal which makes it worth the price.

      Hainan chicken is a bit salty but good portion and rice is tasty.

      The squid in curry is good portion as well.

      Xiaolongbao is quite expensive

      Beef noodle has many stomach parts and less tendon and brisket but like the rice vermicelli style noodle

      Love this place! Was so sad when it closed down for the longest time but ever since it reopened I've been a frequent visitor. The ambiance is very cute and their food is delicious price point is not too bad either and parking is always convenient. Service is always nice the people are always prompt with my food when I order.

      Pros: Love the menu, I think it's very interesting and brought back memories when I was in night market back in china/hk/taiwan. Price were not bad either.
      Cons: It took them so long to bring the first dish. We had big order and it took them 20 mins to make noodles and curry balls.

      The complimentary tea was amazing. Perfect sweetness and really refreshing.

      Food: love the bbq pork and pork belly. Unlike typical roasted pork belly that's very fatty and almost inedible, their version is very lean, flavorful, and delicious.
      Curry balls: was ok, flavor's a bit weak. Seems like it's too watered down.
      Lamb fried rice: was good, but probably could go a little lighter on msg.
      Noodle cart: looks really good and flavorful, but could go a little thicker and bold.
      Chicken skin with salted egg yolk: this is the worst and most disgusting dish out of all. Not only it's oily and overcooked, it gave me heartburn and acid reflux. I'll skip this next time.

      Seating arrangements is a little small, no ac and a little bit messy but that's probably to build the mood.

      Great buck of food! Large portions. The food is quite delicious and flavorful and really reminds of typical Hong Kong food. This is a super casual place and doesn't get very busy, so there's no need to wait for too long. I really did enjoy this place and wasn't looking for anything super fancy of the cuisine, and I definitely got it here!

      Had the lunch special. Orange chicken. It was good. A lot of sauce. Maybe a bit too much. You'll know what I mean.

      I love street food type places! The closest thing to feeling like Hong Kong!

      Food
      - Got some curry fish balls to fix my cravings and it was good.

      Service
      - Not too long of a line around 4pm, and a quick wait for food to come out.

      Ambiance
      - Love the feeling of street food, Hong Long style with the chairs and tables feels nostalgic.
      - Spruce coffee and food is next door too.
      - I like that they have a parking lot right out front.

      I'll be back to try more food!

      I remember when this place used to be popping every weekend. I really like the aesthetic of a street market here but it used to look a lot better in the beginning years. On a slow day I felt like the service was pretty slow. I always come here to check out their snacks. There's nothing particularly good or bad about their stuff, just convenient to go here instead of waiting in long, dim sum restaurants for others.

      My order:
      Curry fish balls - I don't really know what it was expecting, but the curry was more on the watery spicy side but the fish balls were pretty plain.
      Popcorn chicken - Honestly can't go wrong here it was a good snack.
      Milk tea with boba - It might just be the day that I got it but the Boba wasn't very good but the milk tea was okay.

      I've definitely tried their other snacks, but somehow they stood out the most.
