- Jason R24 contributionsGreat night market.Great night market. Definitely want to go after 7pm as anything before that was just setting up. But lots of food options and shopping. Great way to see a lot in a short amount of time.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 December 2023
- Jenna F7 contributionsAverage night market but fun for first timers to Vietnam.Small night market and fun for an hour or so. If you have been to other markets in mainland Vietnam, this one is very commercialised and most of the stalls are quite repetitive. Still worth it for the atmosphere, cheap trinkets and street food.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 18 January 2024
- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia19,450 contributions2 night markets in Phu QuocPhu Quoc has two main night markets - one in Duong Dong which is the capital city and the other close to airport and Best Western hotel. Both are pretty much the same offering street food everywhere. If you've visited any such in continental Vietnam you don't need visiting these.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 31 January 2024
- HuddersTHuddersfield, United Kingdom142 contributionsFun eveningA fun evening in Phu Quoc. It was busy with lots of atmosphere and we really enjoyed browsing the stalls. There are a lot of stalls selling food, especially seafood, but we had already had our evening meal so visited one of the stalls selling cocktails, it was great to enjoy our drinks watching the market. The stalls are similar to those in any Vietnamese market, but it’s lively and worth a visit if you’re in Phu Quoc. There are plenty of taxis / golf carts to hire if you are staying a little further away.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 April 2024
- sunilsadhwaniHong Kong, China213 contributionsPhu Quoc Night MarketIt was our first visit to Phu Quoc and the night market is certainly recommended to see, if for nothing else than to tick it off your list. We’ve seen and experienced many other night markets and this is not really something to go out of your way for. Very average experience with nothing special to see or imbibe.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 August 2024
- McCullough.FamilyLisburn, United Kingdom492 contributionsMarket is okNot the best or worst Night Market I have been to. A little over priced. The food we had was ok but about 4 times the price. The price of snacks is great value. I found it a bit annoying how many times you keep getting asked to buy things, I have not experienced it as bad as this anywhere else in Vietnam. I think it is still worth an hour of your life to visit there for the experience and to make up your own mind. This is only my family's opinion.Visited September 2024Travelled with familyWritten 7 September 2024

I had not been to Phu Quoc for many years so this was my first visit to the new bigger and relocated night market. As soon as we arrived some guy dressed in a costume and monkey mask thrust a lollipop into my 4 year old daughter's hand and then demanded money for it. Needless to say he got it straight back but that set the tone for the visit. The place was packed with mostly Vietnamese tourists and I was waiting to get my pockets picked but thankfully it didn't happen. The rest of the visit was pretty much entirely spent declining offers of peanuts getting shoved in my face by the black shirted peanut pests who are literally everywhere you turn. Eventually found a nice lady with a juice stall and some quiet comfy chairs out of the way of the crowds so that was the highlight for me The old night market was smaller but it was way better. This one is only good if you like crowds and peanuts.

It could be an enjoyable evening stroll....except for the hawkers yelling at you, waving menu's and even grabbing you to go to their shops.
But the absolute worse is the idiots banging on the steal plates for the ice cream rolls. There were two teenage kids in competition who could bang the fastest and loudest. I am quite sure if the owner of the stand saw this the would be out of a job!
If you don't mind the noise, and you enjoy getting ripped off for just about everything, but particularly the food, then I say go.
I went with wife and brother-in-law and nephew, all of which are Vietnamese, and when told the price of some food, they went into shock. I was not near them so the sellers did not see me so they could raise the price.
The hawkers are equal opportunity rip-offs.
It's a shame, because the seafood looked beautiful, but I guess in their mind better to sell a little for a lot. Than a lot for little.

Loved this place and went nightly during our stay in the area.
The first night we chose one of the more restaurant style stalls in the market where you pick out food or live seafood and they cook it for you. I would avoid this as the food wasn’t great and was extremely overpriced.
The smaller food stalls where the best and lots of desert and ice cream stalls.
Was totally expecting to get a bit of an upset stomach from our food choices but was totally fine!

A typical touristy night market, with a twist. You've got all your gift stalls, pepper, coconut, fish sauce etc and when you arrive to leaving all you can hear is the banging of the Ice Cream roll guys!! It's really good to see and for about £1 You get a pretty tasty ice cream!
The market is also full of fresh seafood restaurants, all of them very busy selling everything from prawns to sea urchin! And very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our plate of simply bbq'd king prawns.
Well worth a visit.

Never come back to HUY BAO restaurant at Night Market. Terrible restaurant, cheating customers. We paid 750kVND for 2 very small seafoods with around 400g. Recipe was very badly. Services was unexceptable. No pricelist for seafoods, ridiculous

Typical Asian market for tourists. They sell anything, but mostly souvenirs and food. The level of cleanliness is decidedly above average, the sellers assiduously offer their products, but without being annoying. Always low prices, for Europeans, and good quality of food. Unfortunately the "Asianness" of the place is very evident in the tanks where the fish is kept alive (so to speak) outside the restaurants to attract customers. A scene that, due to our habits, can be unpleasant.

We spent one week in phu quoc and the night Market is a must to see. This is a very lively market, not particularly clean and sanitised so we only eat once.
If you want to have a nice time (not food) this market is the perfect place.

Last night went to the SeaFood restaurant with my wife. Picked from the aquarium a few pieces: shells, oysters, a crab, a fish; not that much. The cooking wasn’t that special. At the end we were shocked with a bill of 3million VND (approx $140). Indeed outrageous, a complete rip off. Avoid the place, it’s not worth it.
