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.

I had this place bookmarked for awhile. I was excited to come try this place, while we were on our way to SF for a show. It was a weeknight so I wasn't expecting it to be busy. I guess I also wasn't expecting it to be so dead and a little sad looking either. There was one couple inside when we arrived. And one other couple came in to pick up food to go while we were there but for the most part, my hubby and I were the only patrons. Also I think I was expecting like an actual night market type of setup, like they have in Asia. But it's not a huge place. And while they have different concepts and menus, you order at one central place. The kitchen surrounds the restaurant in a U shape. Tables are set up in the middle. We perused the menu and ordered and paid. Then they brought out our food to us. I got the cart noodles, which is totally customizable. You can have it dry or with broth, pick the type of noodles , as well as the toppings. I got the thick rice noodles, with tofu, lobster balls and veggies, in a broth. It came out quickly and hit the spot. It was a warm day but I slurped it up so quickly. Very solid noodle bowl. My hubby got the combination pan fried crispy noodles. It was a huge portion and he wasn't sure if he would finish at first, but he got through most of it. It was topped with that gravy and lots of veggies and meat (chicken, char sui, shrimp, etc). The noodles were a bit odd to me, more crispy or something, but worked fine. He seemed to enjoy it a lot. They also have traditional HK desserts, congee, rice entrees, HH specials, tea & boba drinks and street snacks. All the Asian food choices, to your heart's content. I hope they stick around, but given the business we saw, I'm not sure. They have their own lot with probably 20 spots. Clean inside and bathroom was also fine.

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
