What we got: Ramen donut Lamb skewers Mango sago from Mango yummy Sugar Cane juice Mango coconuts drink with eatable ice cube Tea pot matcha milk tea Sanjie handmade cheese mochi Ramen donut was super crispy on outside. And ramen and cheese filling was good. I should have added spam topping which would have made this item more interesting. I did not try lamb skewers, I was told they were very tender, smoky and delicious. Mango sago drink was also legit item and very delicious. So many mango pieces inside. I really enjoyed mango coconuts drink with eatable ice cube. I chose pikachu shaped ice cube and presentation was so adorable. Drink itself was also delicious and a lot of mango pieces inside. Tea pot matcha milk tea was excellent. Presentation was very unique, staff placed a little cute tea pot on the top of drink and I guess dry ice inside and create smoke effect. it was very instagram worthy item. Highlight was Sanjie handmade cheese mochi! It was very unique item. The filling was Purple rice, taro paste, blueberries, starwberries blueberry cheese, fruits flavor boba and cereal flake coating. All ingredient worked so well! Purple rice and mochi were my favorite. Highly recommend this item! After eating, we enjoyed walking around shopping area and checked around game area. It was a fun place. I really enjoyed Richmond Night market since their opening even the festival was located near Ikea. A lot of memory, great food vendors and great entertainment.

This will be my last update/review of this place, because apparently the Richmond night market will…read moreclose down forever after it closes in September 20, 2026. Came on a sunday night around opening time around 7pm in late july with a friend. My friend kindly gave me his express line pass (it was a gift) and paid for my entrance fee. We both saved at least 15-30 minutes of waiting time at the normal non-express entranceway and the $7 per person entrance fee. If you've been to the night market the last couple of years, it's basically the same as previous years. The main attraction by far is the food stalls. There were lots and lots of food stalls (mostly Asian food). If you are interested in my thoughts on the food stalls and my recommendations, read through all my previous years yelp reviews because i go into great detail about them there. I only bought one thing this visit (i went to a buffet earlier that day). I bought the butter beer which didn't have any real beer in it. It was mostly butterscotch flavored cream soda and creamy foam topping. It was $7 and it tasted alright. But I dont think i would get it again. I tasted cream soda and a hint of butterscotch. The night market does have "happy hour" food item specials but only some booths do this. Some food items are under $10 and drinks are $7. I didn't see many interesting happy hour food items during my visit though. They had benches and tables scattered around the food stalls and a bunch near the middle. But there were so many people that there was no space left. i just opted to walk and drink. Other than food, from what i remember, people sold Items like handmade stuff, anime merch like figures and keychains and lights, and some just sold trading cards like pokemon cards. They had ziplining which looks like fun. They had carnival games like popping the balloon, hammer drop, ring toss into the bottle, something that looked like pachinko, the pull up bar challenge, that stacked bottle game, and the birthday month dice game. There were some attractions like the human hamster ball where you climb inside a bouncy plastic ball and walk around. They also had a talent show. No offense but the talent show at the night market wasn't that great. The band at the time was singing a jazzy version of old school music from the 80's and did not have any stage presence at all. There were long breaks between each song. People were leaving the seating area mid performance. We came around 7pm and it wasn't that busy, but when my friend and I left a little after 8pm, the line to get inside was really long and the food stall area was crowded as ever. 3 out of 5 stars based on this visit. I would go to the night market if you want to hang out with friends and try new foods for the fun of it. Throw the budget out the window because a lot of food items are overpriced still. Last tip. Bring lots of cash because the ATM machine fees are expensive. As far as i know, most stalls don't accept card.

I looked at the sign at all the different types of candy and many of them sounded great! The woman working there offered me a free sample of any of the candy and I tried a mango piece. I didn't find the flavour to be as strong as I like but we decided to get 3 bags for $11 (or $4/bag). I got a bag for friends and I tried the peanut brittle and fizz candy. The bag looks small but you get lots for 100 grams. I liked the fizz candy as it wasn't too fizzy. The peanut brittle was good too and great for crushing and putting on ice cream. Great food truck and location to enjoy during a walk along the seawall. The woman working was really friendly too. Would be great to see more candy trucks!

Ok so it's really fun to have a candy truck in the city and to be able to try traditional German…read morecandies. However, there is no shortage of candy in this city, even organic all-natural dye-free candy. Just look to Whole Foods, Save-on or other bulk foods places around the city and in the GVR. What they do well though is service. How many stores/vendors around this city are giving out free samples? I mean, seriously, do you know of any? I don't. Even places like Kernels and Starbucks don't do it often, and overpriced candy vendors at Granville Island could take some advice from this business. So while my marine life-shaped marshmallows were delicious and cheaper than Butter bakery at only $4, I don't see myself stopping by this truck often as I find it easier to walk into the nearest natural foods store. However, as a person who appreciates good customer service, I will be coming back to buy some product once in a while. Perhaps this business could sell their product in Whole Foods/Choices? Easier access for me!:)
