Got here around 6:10 on a warm Monday. We parked in the 99 cent store parking (which is shared with…read morea few other businesses) and the vendors were lined up on the sidewalk. Since we were there pretty early there were no lines and seemed like a good amount of vendors were already set up. We decided to look through all the stalls and then decided what to order. We got a ton of things and everything we ordered were less than $15. They included grilled squid body ($13), bbq pork or chicken skewers (10/$10!!), Laos sausage ($5), pandan and Thai tea buns (3/$6), longan juice ($5), Thai tea ($4), beef soup ($10), pandan and coconut jello ($5), and nam khao tod ($10). Everything was delicious! My favorites were the pork skewers (so juicy), the pandan bun (strong pandan flavor and not too sweet), the squid (came with an awesome garlic sauce), and the nam khao tod (so savory and goes great with the lettuce)! All the vendors were extremely friendly and suggested things to try or gave out samples. I think some vendors were missing at the time we went like the pandan crepes, crispy pork belly, and seafood so I would definitely come back to try them but also get some of the same things! It was super cool to be able to experience this because there were a lot of items that I hadn't seen before or as often in Thai restaurants in the US.

There are about 5 vendors when my friend and I visited on a Tuesday night. To be honest, it's…read moresmaller than I have expected, but still worth a visit if you live around the area. My favorite and must have is the grilled chicken thighs! The chicken skewers are well marinated, a subtle touch of sweetness. The chicken thighs are tender, and perfectly grilled. The cost is $3 per skewer. Definitely worth a shot. The crepe is a great dessert option. It is $10 for 3 toppings. There are various topping options, fruits, syrups, salty, etc. The crepe is made in front of you. Another great sweet dish option is mango sticky rice. The sticky rice is well flavored with a hint of coconut, but the mango wasn't too fresh. There's no spot for seating, no chairs and no tables. Since it is a night street market, don't have too much expectation on the cleanliness. Bring your own napkins, hand sanitizer, etc. Vendor owners are friendly and welcoming. Zelle is accepted, but cash is more convenient. There's a free parking place in a nearby plaza. Recommend getting a try for some authentic Thai food in town.

The food cart specializes in blue corn quesadillas. The food cart has been around for 20 years and is now run by Alejandra's daughter. [Parking]: Metered street parking is available or just park at LADOT Lot 643. [Atmosphere]: Takeout only and our party ended up eating the quesadilla in my car. [Ordering]: One of the ladies took my order and another lady did the grilling. Once the quesadillas are ready, customers can add various condiments like cactus, mild salsa, red salsa, and cilantro. The cart is quite popular and our party had to wait approximately 15 minutes on Sunday at 6:15 PM. All quesadillas are cooked to order and the lady manually pressed every blue corn tortilla by hand. [Menu]: The cart offers chicken, pork, chorizo, squash blossoms (flor de calabaza), chicharrón, potato, and huitlacoche (corn smut, or the "Mexican truffle"). Customers can mix and match fillings like chorizo and potato. *** Squash Blossom Quesadilla ($8): The order came with an extra piece of skirt steak. This quesadilla tasted much better than I had expected and it was actually quite delicious. I was a big fan of the mild green salsa and it definitely enhanced the overall flavor. *** It was an unexpected street food find and I can actually see myself revisiting this food cart and try different quesadilla options whenever I am in the Echo Park area.

This food truck is on the street, but there's ample free parking at a nearby lot and other food trucks sharing the same curb and area. I ordered 5 regular churros for $8 which was a bit pricey, but not too bad. This portion size I got was not on the menu and I inquired about these since I was looking for the lowest quantity of churros as possible. The churros were overall good and tasty. Crunchy, sugary, and fried nicely. They did taste a bit oily though, but it is a fried treat after all. These were still too much for one person though. If I had to try it again, I would want to get some sauce since I felt like it was missing those as well as bring another person to share them with.

Located at RFK High School in Koreatown LA, this location was central and provided lots of space for food stands, food trucks, games, merch stands, drink stands, music stage, you name it. They even had a (huge) sneaker expo stand! I did not see any performers on the music stage, but they posted some content online and it looks like they killed it! Minzy from 2NE1 headlined the first night. I did not have a chance to see everything as I was with a group of people (takes longer to do virtually everything), but there was so much to see! The food I did try: Xing Fu Tang strawberry boba, yakitori yado mochi chicken skewer, kimchi rice ball, pork belly rice ball, thai basil chicken. Everything was good. It was busy! Get there early as by 7:30pm or so it was wall to wall people (some wearing masks, some not as they were recommended only). Had a great time - they have rebooted this event so well!

They have lots of food vendors, not all the same as the typical 626 night market vendors tho. Venue is placed inside a highschool. The vendors are on race track, basketball courts, and good ol' lawn. This year (first opening after pandemic) they have less vendors than before. But place is jammed packed the later it gets. They have big seating area and nice spots in corners for you to sit on the floor tho. Ticket is $10 (plus service fee if you buy online). Parking structure is $18.
