626 night market is an annual summer tradition for me and I love the vibes of it! There's a ton of food and merchandise vendors here, so there is something for everyone. Food is a bit on the pricey side and you may not necessarily be blown away by anything, but I'd say the appeal here is moreso all the options. Alongside this, they have some carnival games and a DJ (who was surprisingly really good). Overall, I definitely think that this is worth checking out! The 626 night market has expanded to other areas, such as Orange County, but is the original one and I would say the better one.
Another year, another 626 Night Market! It was our second time coming to the 626 Night Market at the Santa Anita Park and we'll be back for a third! We opted to go to the August one (they also had a June one). As usual, we bought our tickets in advance to save some money. Remember where you park because it's a burn to walk all day in the sun and then walk around in circles at night looking for your car (we know from experience). Getting in was a breeze and there are vendor booths immediately there to greet you with art, jewelry, collectibles, etc. Lots of cool stuff to look at, but some of it is a smidge too pricey for what it is so it depends on how much you really want something. Of course everyone comes here for the food and they have it in spades! Make sure to do a lap around to check out all the food booths before committing! First we tried Teriyaki Jerk Chicken Mac from Mac Daddy - it originally looked like a small box, but they really packed it with meat on top of the mac and cheese. The meat was a bit too dry and overpowered by paprika so it didn't really go with the mac and cheese. Next, we tried Quesabirria Tacos and Birria Loaded Fries from Las Chelaguas. The tacos were good but pretty small. The Birria Loaded Fries were bomb! Such a huge portion and very filling! We had to waddle off our caloric intake thus far, so we made our way to Lemon Tea Squeeze for drinks. They served lemonade and iced tea drinks in collector cups (we got the bear cup while our friends got the cow cup). Unlimited refills are always a plus in the heat so we made our way back before the end of the night. We grabbed some Mango Sticky Rice to go from Pink Mango, and while we were there we also tried the Mango Sticky Rice with Ube Rice and topped with ice cream - perfect dessert to end the night with! Pink Mango had the longest line out of all the food vendors we tried though, creating a traffic jam with people trying to walk past/through. The night market also gets incredibly more crowded at night, so if you don't want to deal with sweaty people throwing elbows you're best bet is going during the day where you can spread out and take your time (they also offer cooling/misting stations during the day but close them at night). Overall we had a great time and we'll be sure to make this an ongoing yearly tradition. It's always cool to try out food we might not normally have tried and get introduced to vendors worth checking out again. Remember to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat! Word to the wise if you have to use the restrooms - skip the porta potties on the side and just go inside the racetrack to use the normal restrooms (it's the road less traveled and infinitely more cleaner).
Stopped by on Friday, 6/19/26 with my boyfriend during dinner time. It was slightly warm that day with a huge crowd as well. Foods here are expensive per usual. This is my second time here and it has been a while: PROS: - free parking - admission tickets are cheap (cheaper if you buy it wayyy in advanced) - $6 value meal (also have $8, $10, etc.) I took advantage of the $6 value meals CONS: - foods here are way over priced - drinks are also over priced - too hot (bring sun screen) You are allowed to bring any bags (doesn't have to be a clear bag), as long as it's not a huge bag.
So much delicious fooood! And you know we had to visit Zindrew's wontons twice!! We ordered the mild pork and shrimp wontons and the sauce is just so tasty! Love the portions and the friendly service. The cucumber agua fresca from Las Michelaguas was very refreshing and the chamoy rim was delicious! Shared the drink with my boyfriend and it lasted us the entire evening! Sushi Pizzeria was a highlight as well with its hefty sushi slices! Great flavor and great service! I loved Silent Disco last year and it was a bummer that it wasn't brought back this year! It was so much fun and I'm really hoping it comes back! I also would've liked that there'd be more space because the middle lane/section was extremely crowded and compacted. Overall, some logistics to look into, but what a great experience and great time it is!
Very cool event in the city of Arcadia. Lots of food and drinks to choose from, Very cool live performances from aspiring up and coming artists as well as DJ's playing a nice set of music. Best things we tried were We tried the sushi pizza from Shushi Pizzeria 8/10, the spicy tuna onigiri from Randy's Spammies 10/10 and a Ube Horchata 1000/10...that was an amazing drink! I wish I could give credit to the spot who made that drink. Overall I would definitely recommend for a date night or a good time with friends and family.
This was my second time visiting the 626 Night Market and it definitely felt more crowded than last year. One major plus is that parking is free and tickets can be purchased online. Our first stop was Zindrew Chili, their wontons are an absolute must-try! They are flavorful and the chili sauce is delicious! We also tried the sushi tacos and sushi pizza. Both were good! I did miss the silent disco from last year!
Nice idea but they cheap out on the restrooms. You pay high prices for food and drink but bathroom availability is awful.
I've been looking forward to this since last year and finally made it happen with some friends, sadly last min the party size was reduced to half but a time was had! Lots of food options, we took turns choosing food and sharing (best foodie way to do it!) Loved the silent disco! Also did the bungee jumping! I'll definitely come here again hopefully with a larger group next time!
this place is okay..... I feel as if it's one of those events where if you're curious and have never been to it before, it's alright to go, but probably not something to continue going to or attending every year. in the summer months it gets very hot having to walk around and seating areas get filled up very quickly. the food is not bad in itself, but for the price you pay I can't say it's anything spectacular or that worth. they just kind of try to advertise it in seemingly fun or attention grabbing ways so it makes you want to buy it. their tanghulu is pretty small in portion and eh. the Korean corndogs are okay if you're really hungry, but the one inside of the mall nextdoor is of much better price and quality. shaved ice is good for when it's hot, but actual quality wise? worth skipping. the potato swirl was not bad though, and the drinks from Sunday cafe are probably the best thing there since it gets so hot that you keep wanting to go back for more. they also do have vendors selling trinkets and jewelry/other small things which could be fun to look at. overall I think it's overhyped by social media.
My lady and I went the the 626 Night Market on Saturday 6/20/26, and it was a mediocre experience at best. I'm not sure what all the hype is, but I guess it's worth experiencing 1st hand. We ordered our tickets through Eventbrite as they stated tickets weren't available at the door, but they did have QR Codes that you could scan at the entrance to buy tickets. Parking was free which was a plus, but remember where you park as it gets pretty crowded. Once you enter the grounds, you will run into numerous booths, mostly pet items from what we saw. You get into the food stalls once you enter the sectioned off side of the parking lot. You'll find multiple games, stalls of all kinds, a stage with some live music playing, and of course the food stalls. You will find everything from, bar areas, sushi pizzas, skewers of all kinds, ramen spots, kbbq options, numerous desserts, funnel cake, fried gator, fried frog legs, big baby bottle stalls that offer free unlimited refills, and a unique deep fried balls booth. We had to get the big baby bottle as it's one of the known items. We decided to get the medium size, and I have to say that it's enormous. I don't know how anyone will need to come back for a refill, unless you got the little bottles. We chose the passion fruit mango lemonade as our drink, and I have to say, it tastes just like one of the ones you would find in gallon bottles at Costco, just a bit watered down and super sticky. We also got the Spicy Hot Cheetos Balls as it appeared unique and something we wanted to try. You get 3 large size balls of Buldak and cheese ramen battered together with crushed hot Cheetos and deep fried. Honestly, this was better than I expected, but not spectacular. My lady was initially interest in the friend frog legs, but they seemed a little off. We didn't find anything else that jumped at us as a must try, except the mango sticky rice stall, but that line was pretty long. I'm not sure if we'd do this again, as I was expecting something closer to the night markets in Thailand or Taiwan, but it felt more like a carnival with just kid rides and an extremely limited number of games.
This has been on my bucket list for quite some time so I went for the first time this past weekend. I splurged a little because there was so much I wanted to try. It was a good event to experience, but didnt feel like I was missing out on much. I think there are so many options in the LA area nowadays that offer the same types and quality of food, that making the drive out to the market and spending a lot of money of food wasn't too worth it. The cheapest item was $10 for two mini skewers (not pictured). I got there at 4pm because I wanted parking and beat the lines....there weren't lines but it was HOT Overall, I don't regret going but also wouldn't go out of my way to attend again. I would recommend going with a group of people so you can try a variety of items and share without getting too full or breaking the bank Wobblebake: 3/5 ZMSSeafood: taste 4/5 but may not be worth the price($12+ per skewer) All Dat Dumpling: 4/5 Poke Bombs: 3/5 There was a stand with food from Phillipines that isn't pictured but was delicious! we got the sampler that included a pork skewers, wontons and lumpia
My first and most likely my last time visiting a 626 Night Market. I remember many years ago, people would go to a 626 Night Market because there were food vendors pop ups that you could only be able to find at a night market. Now, things have changed. You're paying $15 for the same Boba that you can get just a block away for half the price. The admission is $6.00 (cash at the door, or $6.50ish online includes fee), parking is free, but expect to pay $1,00000000000+ for the skewers, hot dogs and fake Lafufus. There are lots of vendors that sells Temu items that you're able to get online for 1/3 of the price - thanks but no thanks. I went with a friend that had been a vendor at multiple 626 Night Market pre-covid days and even he was disappointed at how things weren't how it used to be. The only thing he raved about was the Squid & Octopus skewers. My overall experience was a 1/5.
Pros- Cheap to enter and free to park When you go when they open even if it is a little hotter. You can try out as much food because the lines are not long. $30-40 all you can refill drinks good value especially for families. Just bring some spare cups and share the night away. Cons- As soon as it cools down or gets closer to dark it is over crowded and ordering food could take atleast 45 mins to order another 10-15 to wait minimum. Loved the dimsum not so much the pineapple fried rice. The lamb skewers were good option for family $20-25 for 10 skewers.
I haven't been out to the 626 Night Market in a while, but this year I actually got to go on the last two days of the market. I went Saturday because they had the Dreamstate event going on and it was fire! The music was good and the crowd was hyped. I honestly think it's really cool that they're doing something like this at the night market and they should definitely keep bringing more EDM events here lol. It seemed pretty crowded compared to the last time I came, but they also had a ton of new vendors. Everything felt more spread out, so even with all the people, the lines weren't super crazy. I ended up coming back again on Sunday for the last day. It was crowded too, but nothing unbearable. We waited in line for some squid and a few other things, and I think the longest we waited was around 20 minutes, which honestly isn't too bad for the 626 Night Market. Overall, I really enjoyed coming back this year. Lots of food to try, plenty of new vendors, and adding events like Dreamstate made it even more fun. I definitely plan on coming back the next time they're around! read more
I've been going to the 626 Night market every year for the last couple of years. Although I feel like prices have rose pretty significantly in the past couple of years this is an event I'm always excited for. It is peak summer where you are able to be out in a comfortable summer night and browse what feels like any and all food there is. I thought this year was especially great with the DJ and the location. Previous years they always had the DJ tucked away all the way in the back but having them front and center of the event was a great call. Always have that awesome music in the background added a lot to my experience. Some of the standout thing we got was Japadog which is a wagyu hotdog that will make you rethink what a hotdog can be. We got a truffle katsu sandwich there too which is as fabulous as it sounds. Also had salt bread which was especially exciting considering I have been craving them ever since visiting Korea. Lastly, I got a fried Reece's cup which I have been in the hunt for some time since they seem pretty rare, so of course that hit the spot. Overall, this was an awesome 626 night market better than previous years. This is something I'll continue to look forward to every year! read more

Full Disclosure: I had never gone to 626 Night Market before this year, so my review is from my 626NM experience on Friday, August 14th. First of all, the festival's check-in went smoothly and quickly. I bought these tickets in advance about a month ago online, so we just showed the QR codes at the gate and walked right in. Secondly, the majority of the festival's food stalls were Asian or Asian-inspired. There were Korean BBQ, Japanese ramen, Thai street delicacies, Filipino lumpia, etc. We tried every little appetizer, noodle bowl, and rice concoction that could fit into our tummies. And every single food item was delicious! We would absolutely come back to this yearly gastronomical festival again. (626NM has been going on for 12 years.) Be prepared to come with an empty stomach. You will not be disappointed. Definitely come hungry. In addition to the festival's food being the main attraction, there were non-food stalls selling a variety of jewelry, clothing, baseball caps, toys, etc. The music artists and/or bands were all fantastic too. 10 out of 10 read more

A staple festival based in Arcadia, CA, it has been remarkable seeing the night market grow and develop over the years with relative consistency! My favorite stalls for the night were the banana pudding stall, as well as the ever tasty and friendly Filipino street food stall (Kanto Filipino Street Food). The games were all fun, accessible and reasonably priced. Will certainly come again as time permits! read more
We enjoyed the 626 in OC fairgrounds so decided to visit the Arcadia one. For us it was far, but we knew that from the get go. Parking is free here so that's a plus! The venue is large with almost no shade whatsoever. The food stands were similar but some were different. They have beer stations throughout the place but only 1 of them had beer on tap, the rest were cans. Most of the restrooms are port a potty except by the entrance. You are SOL if you want to sit close to the food, the only seating area is by the entrance. Some people had portable chairs by the only area with a couple of trees. I think this was an ok experience for us just not worth the drive and would much rather go to the OC fairgrounds one. read more
First time coming back to 626 Night Market in a while and I'm glad I did! The experience felt much more polished than the last time I was there several years ago! The trinket vendors have evolved into Labubu dealers but I'm not complaining because my wife and I were able to cop some really cute outfits for our Labubus. Their food is still awesome but it's much easier to navigate now and I love the variety of vendors compared to before. Not to say that it sucked before but it's different now in a good way! read more
Went two days in a row, recommend going early to avoid the long lines but it was HOT during the day and they did not have much shade and I wish they did. Had to leave the food area to find shade, but found tables near the stage. Kinda pricey so bring your cash cause most places charge for credit card use read more

If you can handle how crowded it gets, the 626 Market is a fun outing. Not only an array of food vendors, but they also have games and tons of shopping. You really need a full day to go through everything, we were there a couple hours and didn't even put a dent in seeing all the vendors and food booths. Parking is free , and admission is $5 online or $6 in person. I'm taking away a star because there is such a lack of areas to sit and eat. Be prepared to stand and eat your food. The prices are high for the food and games but you can haggle with the shopping, especially if you have cash. It's a lot of walking so I would suggest going in the evening hours. read more

626 Night Market is a summer staple in Arcadia and around LA -- and California! I make sure to go every summer to check out what new stuff the local vendors have come up with. Parking is free in a huge lot. I highly recommend staying cool and finding shade -- it can get really hot in Santa Anita Park during the summer. Make sure to get a big juice or water or check out the many cold/ice food selections. And of course, bring cash, because some vendors only take cash! Have fun. read more

I am from the 626 so I have to support every time I can! This night market has triumphed over the past years and it's a fun experience with enjoying good food, tasty treats, and drinks with your loved ones. Literally, 626 is good if you can with a small or large group. Over the years they always have different vendors with really good options! This year my favs were Zindrew Wonton and Norigami with the best sushi tacos I've ever had. It was sooo tasty and eccentric since I've never heard of a shrimp tempura taco! I highly recommend they have this vendor for a while!! Zindrew as well with the best dumplings I've ever had with the best spiciness!! The service is always good at this market. However, the prices are a bit exaggerated, but majority of the food has good quality. The only thing about this year is that it seemed to have less vendors and I feel they should have had more variety of food culturally. I try to come every year to witness new food business and enjoy my time! It's located at the race track Santa Anita Park so it is easy to find and convenient parking! -Marshay D. read more

The 626 Market is a hit and miss. Some years it has so many great vendors and some years it does not. This year they did not have many vendors but a few new good ones. I enjoy going every year to try out the new food items. The service is good and the ambiance is cool. Great place to go on a date or with family and friends. Note: some vendors only except a physical credit card, or just Apple Pay. Some accept cash but most of them do not accept cash. So bring a little bit of everything. read more

First time at the market and it lived up to the hype (almost). Pros: Well organized with clear parking and well managed entry lines ( trust me in LA that means a lot), large variety of merchandise stalls for buying cute anime stuff, jewellery, candles etc. Amazing collection of food vendors with exceptional tasting food - tried the takoyaki, korean egg toast, pork belly bun, noodles in chicken oil etc. Cons: Just one - it was definitely overpriced. Being South Asian, street food and night markets are associated with cheap, tasty food for the working class people. This is not the case here. An example people are expected to pay $10 dollars for sugercane juice or pay $18 dollars for an egg toast. The pricing was higher than an average sit-in restaurant and we shelled out an easy $150 just for making a full meal for 3 people. read more
Pretty great. $6 entrance fee, but there were vendors inside giving away samples and bags, even a free streaming service trial. Kind of crowded and spacious at the same time. I heard this was bigger than the oc fairgrounds version read more
Heard great things about this popular night market, but it fell short. Sure, there's lots of vendors to try which is fun, but the price is ridiculous (even for LA lol). I mean, just as an example, 2 milk teas were $25..... Food & drinks weren't bad, but it's nothing special. We spent close to $200 but didn't even get that full because they were all SMALL portions. Tbh, I'd rather eat at a nice restaurant for that amount. Overall, out of the many night markets we've been to in other states/countries, this was eh. Games were fun & not too difficult to win, but $6 per game is wild lmfao. read more

01/06/24 Tonight was a mini market but with a collaboration with Netflix's new series The Brother's Sun starring Michelle Yeoh, Sam Li and Justin Chien. Not sure which cast member was there but someone was. They had a showing of what I believe was the first episode up on the big stage screen. Excitement was in the air as there were a lot in attendance. With only about 20-30 vendors, there was s a lot of great food to choose from. We went with a pork belly bao, hand rolled sushi - a salmon and a blue crab, my daughter wanted to try a tanghulu, and 3 different flavors of churros: plain, Nutella and strawberry. See my reviews on each of these vendors! Overall, the night market was great. Except for the overflowing mountains of trash and uncleaned portapotties. read more

Pretty fun but repetitive. So many Ramen, squid and tea/boba shops. The food was okay. We spent maybe 150 total on takoyaki, drinks, rice, and Lobster fries. Don't buy from Main Lobster...guys, total rip off. 25.00 for Lobster fries with 1 shredded Lobster claw. Daddys Catch shrimp was amazing. PINK mango is delish. Island Kitchen was also very good. Fun time...just expensive. Cute stands with LaBubu Dolls and other anime stuff. Parking is Free. read more
Never expected the OG 626 Night Market to be so big. We only allocated 1.5 hr for this impromptu visit. Free parking is always a plus, but we literally walked a mile to get to the entrance so we only had an hour to fast-walk through the food section. (We parked by the vendor's entrance, because we didn't realize there was only one entrance for attendees.) I hate the idea of paying for night markets. Like, why do we have to pay a ticket to buy overpriced food? But, this place actually got some vendors that you can't easily find elsewhere, and the prices for a lot of items were actually reasonable. There are also a lot of activities here besides just food. They had rows of crafts/apparels vendors, music, silent disco, night market games, photoshoot spots as well. I'm pretty sure we needed at least 2.5 hours to go through everything even without long lines (for first time visitors). So yeah, the entrance fee were actually worth it. Con: some food vendors closed earlier (~10:15pm) than midnight (their listed closing time). I'd definitely wanna visit again, but next time I'll remember to go before 9:30pm. read more
