The OC Night Market is an experience. The food, although good, was grossly overpriced. It's very crowded and becomes more so as the evening progresses, so be aware. We enjoyed purchasing permanent jewelry.

This place is a rip off. They charge $55 for 10 tickets. Also the booth with ball tossing will scam you if you don’t immediately announce when you land one in the right cup. The girl moved my winning ball away while I finished my other tosses then said “oh I didn’t see any land in the blue cup”. The food is also mediocre. But the margaritas were great.

It was my first time at a night market. There were a variety of Asian foods, performances, and game stores, and I enjoyed looking around.

The food are overpriced considering we already had to pay to get inside. But the craft shops were great.

First time to visit 626 night market. OVER PRICED !!!!! Entry Fee + Parking Fee But, food and drinks are way and way over priced !!!! Not only price is high, quality of food is not even close what you can get from local stores. Will not come back.

Honestly, pretty disappointed. Yes they had food, and goods, and drinks, and games, and I had fun, but mostly because we went as a friend group. Everything was way overpriced, I was expecting more expensive than a usual restaurant but this was crazy. Pay for parking, tickets, and then like $20 for a small dish, tip. Had to get 3 dishes to be full, none of which were that good. And that’s the thing! If it’s good, I’ll pay extra and be happy, but none of the food we had was good. Some of it was alright, but yeah, glad I tired it, won’t go again.
Pictured here is my massively disappointed girlfriend after receiving her $28 + tip lobster roll we finished in 3 bites.

Way too expensive. Don't mind the admission fee and parking but food is too expensive. One time experience is good enough for us.

Amazing food good prices and parking was super easy. I loved the grilled squid and the grilled lamb. They fire grilled flavor was so satisfying.
626 Night Market is primarily a food fair. There’s a small cost for admission & an additional cost for parking. I appreciated the vendors with vegan options. I found the music blasting from one of the vendors incredibly inappropriate and it was also distracting from the actual entertainment. Many of the food vendors were overpriced. It was difficult to walk around, to many people not watching where they are going. Overall it wasn’t especially fun. I’ve always liked 626 Markets in the past but this was the first time I attended this one.

This event hosted by 626 Night Market and featuring Day Trip Pop-up was really cool. The DJs kept the house music coming all night while the food trucks and other vendors kept the food and drinks flowing. We had a great time. So many good food options we enjoyed everything we had. Food, drinks, desserts, and snacks. We picked up some good merch too. All to say, if you’re looking for something fun to do in the OC this is definitely worth checking out.
A few things to note:
* it’s at the OC Fairgrounds so plan accordingly. Daytime can be warm but it gets chilly in the evenings. It drizzled a little for the last 2 hours of the night (9-11pm) during our visit. Layers are your friend.
*plenty of parking but the way they manage parking can make it feel like it’s taking forever to get in. Parking is also $12 per car. Carpool with friends and family to save some money there.
*entry is $6 per person buy your tickets online via event brite so you can walk in without stopping to pay tickets day of.
*there is a line to get in on most nights (Fridays and Saturdays) but it moves quickly.
*there are restrooms scattered throughout but look for the ones to the left and right of the hangar at the entrance by the artist vendors. Most people miss these and the lines are shorter.
*Wear comfy shoes or sneakers. There aren’t enough tables and chair for everyone and if you’re like me and have a bad back you don’t want to be in flip flops, or sandals all night.
Have fun and enjoy!!

Long lines bad tasting over priced food. Lots of repeat food options. Very small venue. Attraction shows were not interesting

I had a fantastic experience at the 626 Night Market! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The vibrant atmosphere, diverse food options, and lively entertainment made for an unforgettable evening. Exploring the various stalls with delicious treats from different cultures was a culinary adventure. The event was well-organized, and the friendly vendors added to the positive vibe. I can't wait to visit again next time to relive the fantastic memories and discover even more hidden gems!
