The Night to shop... This market located obviously on Temple Street just comes alive at night with blocks and blocks of lanterns that lights up the entire market and is filled with vendors selling various items all new and fun though not interested in clothing or electronics it's the trinkets and little items that captured my attention you're certainly able to browse and take in all the night scenery here along with some street foods making it a great place to explore and experience the Hong Kong night market. Thank you!
Temple Street Market in Jordan encompasses a walkable street with one block dedicated to bustling food stalls, twinkling lanterns festooned overhead. The rest of the street is replete with many an enthusiastic hawker selling everything from cups and kitchenware to clothes and paintings. The wares seemed quite varied enough and it's up to you if you want to get lost in the seemingly endless line of stuff. Many a blog remark on the exorbitant pricing, however, the main objective is to haggle, of course. In terms of the street food, nothing looked particularly enticing and we actually purchased some skewers from a shop just before on an adjacent street. Thrilling vibes and energetic atmosphere which that alone warrants a visit to a market operating 7 days out of the week nightly.
Unlike the negative reviews on Yelp, you come here to experience the the true Hong Kong Experience. Come when it is actually dark out so you can see the beautiful decorated lanterns hung across the market. I come here for the pure exhilaration and melting pots of different nationalities coming here. Start all the way from the south which is the dining portion. Although some say there were a paucity of eatery, I thought there were plenty. This is the place to try something more exotic you can't try back home or even other parts of Hong Kong. Skip the fried noodles and wonton and go for the stinky tofu and kidneys. I myself had the spicy curried fish balls, though spicy it was out of this world and not fishy. There are refreshment stands available for you to digest the greasy foods As you walk one block or a three kilometers from the food area, you will find the merchant kiosks. It goes on for a few blocks, but it is endless stalls of goods after goods. I got to practice my bartering skills here. I got two small not authentic obviously but manufactured porcelain that costed 30 HK each for 50 HK total All in all this is a don't miss when traveling to Hong Kong.
I'm sorry. It's the last night market in Hong Kong I read. And I wanted it to be good. But it just wasn't. Hardly any food vendors and the food did not look appetizing. Not many people there or buying things around 9 pm on a Friday night. Majority of vendors were selling Knick knacks that were not unique to Hong Kong and not very interesting to look at. Kinda like walking through an Ace Hardware store. I think this might be in a red light district from my observation based on the folks loitering on the side streets especially around at the far end of the main drag. We decided to get a foot massage. I've posted pics of some of the shop prices we saw (not the one we ultimately landed on though). The masseuse didn't seem really trained. I think they spent half the time massaging the same spot. They also demanded a 20% tip at the end even after I asked specifically about the price and said I didn't have cash. Can't really argue being in a foreign country. But definitely Won't be back to that area.
This is a nice place to go to if you want to take a stroll after dinner in the Jordan area, and browse for souvenirs. This isn't my first choice to go to if I'm looking for something to eat. But, it's great if you need to satisfy any late night cravings. I'm disappointed in the souvenirs and merchandise, and am a little wary of buying anything (they do have some nice t-shirts). It kind of reminds me of the stuff you see sold in NYC Chinatown, which I usually bypass. I would look out for the more unique stalls, especially the ones where artists are selling their one of a kind items.
A cute night market, one half is filled with light cooked snacks and the other with trinkets and souvenirs. Temple street was marketed (no pun intended) as a must-go when in Hong Kong, but I personally didn't see anything special about it. The trinkets were mostly cheap knock-offs of brand name items (e.g. $20USD fake AirPods), and not worth buying. The food wasn't anything special. Still, it's a nice place to visit and window shop. If you really do want to buy something, make sure to wander around and see everything first, and haggle for whatever you want. Chances are, you can find it even cheaper elsewhere, so get the price you want. They close at 11pm and aren't open in the early morning.
Open as early as 16h00 but better after sundown a 20h30 visit to Temple Street Night Market offers a fun look at local culture, street food and more. Jammed packed with vendors and tourists one can expect a mix of junk and impostor luxury apparel alongside some oddities and handmade stuff.
Temple St Night Market used to be a place that was packed with people at night time buying all these weird knick knacks that the street vendors have to offer. But since the pandemic, there are now less stalls of vendors selling stuff and definitely not as many people roaming around. Hopefully once travel restrictions ease up more things will pick back up. When everything was normal, I would say that this was a okay area to bring the family to check out the vendors, but now? Not so much. The area is sketch and not a place to take the family (it was before, but I feel like now it's more apparently due to the lack of vendors). Although there are still a lot of places to eat in the area, so that's definitely some thing to check out.
As others have mentioned, this night market is not really for food. At the very beginning just past the entrance gate, there are some stalls and some restaurants with outdoor seating. But once you get past that part, it is just a massive line of outdoor stands selling souvenirs, clothes, jewelry, and electronics. All the name brand stuff they sell here is fake. If that is your thing, you can get some very cheap fake goods here. Remember to bargain with the vendors and not to pay the first price offered. Overall, this place is worth a look because it is an interesting part of the city. It can be annoying though as it is very crowded, the street is too narrow, and everything is counterfeit.
Of course Temple Street Night Market gets all the attention in HK for the go to market, whether it be for food, clothes, accessories, chocktikies, etc. The sad thing is it is extremely crowded is really tough to do some shopping. Most of the goods you can haggle on pricing for, but the sellers come in very high due to the tourists in the area, so you spend quite some time haggling over simple things like magnets of gifts for others. Is it worth a visit, yes, do not get me wrong if you have not experienced the quintessential Chinese market, then this is a good start, but there are many others nearby with the same inventory. If you honestly asked me for the best market with inventory, pricing, and friendliness, I'd say take a stroll to Shenzhen for the day and get your shopping on (You can get a temp VISA as it is mainland China). A tip is also look for the various MTR stops that are nearby, as some may be a fair distance for walking while others may send you down various side streets leaving you lost and being lost is sometimes fun, but not in a maze like city of HK. As for food, they do offer some fresh and fast/street food nearby to Temple Street Market, so get your grub on as they offer some tasty local treats! All and all, a good experience if you are new to Chinese markets, but as mentioned above, there are better nearby and a few in others cities that would blow Temple Street Night Market away.
Honestly, I thought this was a bit lame. I've been to the night market in Taipei, and this is not half as cool. There's a bunch of street vendors selling random souvenirs, clothing, toys etc. very touristy area with a lot of foreigners. There was a few street vendors selling food but really not that many stalls as I had expected. The food options were very limited. There are restaurants, a lot of them, along the street, brick mortar types. But they were all selling the same kind of food. I think it's good to just check it out real quick, we didn't buy anything, and the food we got was OK, nothing to rave about.
Temple Street Market is a must-visit in Hong Kong. The vendors are incredibly friendly and clearly love to bargain, which makes the experience fun and engaging. There's an endless variety of merchandise to browse, along with plenty of food stalls offering tempting local eats. The area felt safe, lively, and was very easy to get to with a quick Grab ride. A great spot to soak in the energy of the city. read more
Temple Street Night Market / Kowloon (Hong Kong) -- By the time Jamie W and I made it here on our vacation, we visited two legendary night markets in relatively quick succession, Raohe Street in Taipei (review: https://yelp.to/iQFcRkmz6h) and Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur (review: https://yelp.to/5ShCfX6Vhg). Both were bustling cultural microcosms full of a wide and diverse variety of culinary delights. My expectations were set high. This is my roundabout way of saying I found this market to be on the meh side. Even though Temple Street might be the most organized of night markets, it came down to a lack of enthusiastic energy on the part of the thirty-plus hawkers and purveyors here. They didn't help motivate us as much to try anything that looked appetizing beyond one grilled octopus skewer (photo: https://yelp.to/ZmGraLPefh). It was pretty good for what it was. The food stalls took up just the first block of Temple Street. The rest of the market consisted of tents and stalls where they sold gadgets, toys, electronics, cheap souvenirs, and T-shirts of which Jamie bought a couple from an enterprising senior (photo: https://yelp.to/caewEJ9-pR). I've read that lingering COVID restrictions may have caused a change in the dynamics of the market. If true, the impact apparently snuffed out much of the unique character it might have had.

Temple Street Night Market was a fun place for shopping in Hong Kong! Items included were t-shirts, purses, souvenirs, Chinese styled clothing, reusable bags, backpacks, plushies, Night lights, toys, good luck charms, caps, paintings, keychains, tote bags, and more. There were food vendors at one end of the maybe four blocks worth of small businesses. There was an area for Instagram opportunities... Halloween decorations were interspersed between the red festive lanterns! read more

I think this is as good as it gets in Hong Kong for street food night market. It is much smaller than other asian countries and food isnt cheap. As for the market part further down the street, it wasn't that good. You can go to better places elsewhere. read more

Temple Street is known for their huge swap meet and street food. It's blocks and blocks of cheap shopping. All of the merchandise is new. They don't sell used stuff. Some things are knock offs and some are cheaply made. Don't pay the amount that they quote you because they expect you to haggle, so they quote a higher rate. I really wasn't into buying anything. They food stands caught my eye with all their live seafood swimming around in buckets. You pick what you want and pay for it. Then, they'll cook it and serve it to you. We just had dinner so I planned to go back another night to try out the seafood. We were so busy that I never made it back there. The next time I'm in Hong Kong, I'll definitely go and eat the seafood. read more
Smaller, less noisy and less crowded than Ladies' Market, but similar concept: tents/stalls selling clothing, toys, electronics, jewelry, handbags, souvenirs, luggage, leather goods, etc. Make sure to visit the fortune telling section. There's the usual tarot reading, palm reading, face reading, etc. Unique to the Temple Street Nigh Market, however, is the bird fortune teller. Apparently you start by choosing one of two caged birds. Your chosen bird then selects a card or some other sort of symbol which is then interpreted into your fortune. There's also a Cursing Lady. For a fee, she will curse or bestow ill fortune/misfortune to whomever you select. Unfortunately, she wasn't there the night that we were there. Too bad, I had brought a list... Lots of food options too. We stopped in a shop that specializes in snake soup. Look for the picture of the snake on the store front or the snakes in the glass jars. Tasted pretty good actually. Worth a browse if you're so inclined. read more

This night market is so different than night markets I've been to in Taipei. Here, first there are so many vendors selling wares compared to food vendors; my guess is a 10:1 ratio. Second, food vendors are selling items that are 70 HKD and up whereas Taipei food vendors are selling speciality items like spicy grilled corn on the cob, baked pork & onion buns, etc. for 100 NTD (plus the food is much tastier). Anyhow, I was able to pick up 12 silk scarfs for my daughter for 100 HKD, 6 luggage tags for 10 HKD each, and a mini tea set for 90 HKD. I had a Coke beverage plus noodle soup dinner about 100 metres outside the night market gate for 31 HKD. A good night overall! read more
This place is so much better than the Jabe Markets, namely because of the variety. Mind you, they tend to start setting up store around three to four o'clock, and go till about 11:00. However the thing that I love about this place is the variety, there is an awful lot, and it is actually quite large, stretching quite a distance along temple street. Once again, like a lot of these markets, this is actually pretty lively, and also has a charm that is lacking in a lot of other places. read more

Super touristy but worth a visit. Expect to pay 30% of whatever price they start with unless there is clear signage and prices are already really cheap (in which case I'd round down to avoid making change). Cute kids watches (Hello Kitty and other characters) for US$2-3! read more

Temple Street Night Markets share similar aspects as Ladies Market, but with more food options. The flea markets here sell random trinkets, electronics, jewelry, and knock-off clothing and handbags, and they have a whole block of fortunetellers and palm-readings too! This lively street bazaar gives both locals and tourists a feel for the colorful atmosphere and local lifestyle. I would recommend arriving around 6 or 7pm for dinner (plenty of open street restaurants) and then afterwards, do some bargain hunting shopping for junk you don't need. When I visited Temple Street Night Markets on a weeknight last October, and I didn't think it was as crowded as Ladies Market. Overall it's worth a few hours visit, but not really worth a long MTR ride if you're not already in the area. read more

REVIEWER # 37 If you have been to markets in Hong Kong before you would understand when I say that you would find some really great knockoffs and it's really fun to be able to reason with the vendors about the price you want to pay. It's like they say, "You win some and you lose some." This statement is so true when it comes to shopping at the markets in HK! Once I got the hang of Ladies Market I decided to try out Temple Market. Temple Market is a night market that starts around 6PM and ends really late, 12AM sometimes 1AM. However, it's a great amount of vendors (Different vendors from ladies market but they sale similar items) and tons of delicious food! Very convenient location to the MTR Jordan! It's a narrow walkway between brightly lit stalls. The market runs in a side street for several blocks. The stalls are simple constructions which are on both sides of the street leaving a narrow middle to traverse. The vendors are not as pushy and demanding as the Ladies Market but they do drop the price down if you walk away. They sale a large variety of different items to name a few: belts, bags, suitcases, purses, clothing, phone chargers and many other Hong Kong souvenirs. Very good place to shop especially if you are looking for items and things to bring back to friends and family back home. I would encourage you to walk to all the vendors before you begin buying because you may be able to get a better deal at another vendor. Please note that vendors hike up the price in the beginning so always make sure you bargain first. Make it fun for yourself to see how cheap you can get it, remember they are knockoff items. This wouldn't be the first place I would check out in Hong Kong. If you have time check out the Ladies Market or Stanley Market before coming here so you are not to disappointed if you don't find anything. REVIEW 218/196 read more

I lived 14 years in Hong Kong before I moved to SF. Finally, the year of 2015, my first time visited the Temple Street. The image of Temple Street in my mind was all from the old movies or TV. The "cheap culture" from the 80s, The old prostitute on the street. (Well, I did not see them at Temple Street at all!! However, I saw them selling themselves around the Jordan area.) The low level gangsters. Also, People singing old songs and old Chinese opera and the Face reading. The image I had was only 40% correct. Half of the street is for shopping, just another Women Street like Mongkok. A lot of yummy and very local 大排檔 street restaurants. Only few booths singing old Karaoke. Quite peaceful and organized, no one look like a low level gangster there. Again, I did not see old prostitute business at Temple Street, I saw them few blocks away. They have not only face reading but also many booths palm reading, life calculate and psychic reading. It is an interesting area. read more
Nowhere offers more raw HK culture than Temple Street Market! While some may find the questionable food hygiene and aggressive vendors a culture shock, others may enjoy the energetic atmosphere and uncensored authenticity an experience to be had. Which side will you be? It may be worth to find out! This area is certainly an excellent photography area especially if you are seeking to capture photos of the iconic overbearing neon signs that are the stereotypes of Hong Kong. However, you may be disappointed if you are seeking for cheap food or goods as you would in night markets in other Asian countries like Japan and Taiwan...Aside from trusting that the food hygiene at roadside stands is good enough to not make you sick, you also have to be cautious about the hidden (and often unwritten) fare rules that drive prices higher than more established restaurants! If there is anything in a market stand that intrigues you, don't forget to negotiate the prices because they are significantly marked up for room to negotiate. General rule of thumb is to start with half the asking price first and work toward your goal; if the seller refuses to reach an agreement, don't be afraid to walk away because 1) he/she will chase you down for a cheaper price and 2) you will most likely find the same thing as you move down the street! Anyway, the festivity is nightly and actually expands for blocks between Kansu and Jordan St at north and south with Nathan Road as the other boundary. Temple Street Night Market is worthy to check out for the unique experience it offers (good and bad), but I would not mark this as a must-go especially if you are seeking for good food and shopping. --- tl;dr version: 1) Culture shock to some, exciting experience to others 2) Careful about random charges when dining here 3) Don't be afraid to negotiate prices 4) Worth checking out but not a must-go read more
I don't know that the Temple Street Night Market is a "must do," but it does offer a fun nighttime sightseeing experience. It's not too far off what you might find in Chinatown in LA, NY, or SF, but with a grittier Hong Kong-movie feel. Just a few blocks up from the Jordan MTR station, stalls line both sides of the street for several blocks with all sorts of junk and trinkets. Jewelry, Buddhas, used CDs, clothes, toys, and small electronics - the market has it all. Much of it appears to be fake or poorly made, but it's a good place to get a couple cheap souvenirs and people-watching. I got a leather belt and a t-shirt for just a few bucks. There are tons of little outdoor restaurants and stands throughout the side streets, and if you meander off Temple Street a few blocks you'll run into some skeezier feeling areas - women who look like prostitutes, guys arguing, etc. For me that simply adds to the charm without ever feeling unsafe. read more
Temple Street Night Market always finds a place on lists of Top 20 if not Top 10 attractions in Hong Kong. This honor is rightfully bestowed. Temple Street Night Market spans about 3 blocks. Although this is not the largest market, they have plenty to offer. Everything from backpack, souvenirs, electronics, to clothes can be found here. Most stands are slight variations of each other. This is a great place to practice your Cantonese and bargain with the shopkeeper! Here's a tip: if you feel like the shopkeeper is giving you an exorbitantly high price, just slowly walk away and they will usually give you a lower price. Sometimes, the shopkeepers can be very irritated when you try to haggle. Remember, they also have to make a living and out food on the table! So while is it alright to bargain, don't be ridiculous. Parallel to Temple Street is a street called Reclamation Street. I wandered over there by accident and they sell a lot of vegetables and fruits there. That is a good place to get a more local feel of Hong Kong! Temple Street is a great place to truly feel the bustle of the city as well as the energy! Oh, make sure to come after 6PM if you want all the stands to be open. If you want to avoid the crowds little, come at 5PM although the selection will be slightly a bit more limited. Have fun! read more
Temple Street Night Market is a typical bazaar with makeshift stalls that line the narrow street, each peddling clothing, trinkets, chachkies, electronics, and knockoffs. (Its a bit of tourist trap.) We came here on a Wednesday night. By appx 10:45 pm, the shopkeepers were starting to unwind and taking down the stalls. As for food, the area has some restaurants but no food stands - so don't expect a Taiwanese style night market food experience that goes past midnight. read more

Near our hotel and great to just wander about just for the atmosphere and buzz. A market that only comes to live after 6pm, you can finds lots of small knick knack here from the usual phone accessories to knock offs. Soak in the experience of street food by eating at one of the dai pai tong. read more

If you have just visited Ladies' Market, you should also come to this place. Temple street, and some call it Men's Market, is of similar sort where you can buy cheap merchandise and it is located between Jordan and Yau Ma Tei. Honestly, I am quite surprised to see two flea markets surviving in the same district as they are quite the same. However, there are a few things that stand out from the Ladies' Market. One is the palmistry. Palm reading is a practice that has said to be able to foretell ones' future through the study of your hands. Whether that is true of not, lots of tourists do come here to give it a try as you know, once in a lifetime experience. The second thing I like the most is the food. There are a few restaurants nearby and they are mostly called "Dai Pai Dong". And they serve the best seafood ever. As shown in the picture below, scallops, lobsters, clams, you name it. They are very nicely cooked and definitely a must-try here in Hong Kong. However, since it is a touristy place, the food here is quite costly and the portion is not really that big. So, better get a few more dishes! (and definitely not a bad thing!) read more
