What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Beida Night Market is a well-organized, medium-sized market offering a good variety of food and some entertainment. While it may not be the most unique, it's a convenient and enjoyable spot for a casual weekend meal, especially for families. Parking can be a challenge, and some food items are better avoided.
"This night market may not be as popular as some of the bigger ones, but it still offers plenty of food to try. You can easily have a good dinner here with the variety of snacks and meals available. There’s a big parking lot, but it can still get full — though it’s still more convenient compared to other night markets where you need to search for parking farther away.
While the market isn’t particularly special or unique, it’s a nice spot to visit if you’re nearby. It’s open on weekends only, so it’s worth passing by for a casual food trip if you’re in the area."

"It is Zhubei night market, relocated to get a larger parking. It's a "small to medium" market but it's nice to end up there, from time to time. We can find usual food and beverage for a meal, some games for entertainment, and some everyday accessories mainly for phones. Japanese Takoyaki, Spanish Churros, Taiwanese stinky tofu, fried mushrooms, grilled sausages are our favorite, among many choices. It's rather clean. So, overall, it's pretty nice to walk and get a few snacks in this market. Pay attention to opening days, only on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Also, don't expect some smooth running before 6PM."

"good sized night market with good variety of food and non food stalls. worth a go if in area.
the sweet potato ball had a good level of sweetness and sweet potato taste. skin was crunchy and interior was chewy. good portion size.
the 1000ml winter melon tea was excellent value (TWD 20), but to be fair it was slightly watered down, which worked out as it might otherwise be too sweet.
papaya milk had a lot of milk and not as much papaya, however there was still a good level of papaya flavor.
cannot recommend the korean fried chicken as 1) the chicken was not freshly deep fried, 2) there were quite a few pieces of deep fried skin (without any meat), and 3) the sauce made the deep fried batter soggy rather quickly.
ordered with the deep fried hot dog bun with cheese and sausage. the sausage did not add to the product so it is better not to order with sausage.
the bread stall was selling bread at a very low price point, but they actually taste rather good."
