Richmond gets two night markets this summer - News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/news/local/article/343024--richmond-gets-two-night-markets-this-summer)

the one that starts may 11th is the Original location behind home depot

[fishCak3s]

bigger? really? the current one has some empty vendor stalls already...

[b0unce. [?]]

fuck finding free parking near there.

[Purely]

RR won't be affected in a negative way, if anything the night market will attract more people to RR. Very tempting to go play at RR after shopping/eating at the night market...

whos gonna go to the homedepot one? when the RR is free parking, close to skytrain, bigger and nicer area

[melloman]

The real question is... which one will have better food? :suspicious:

[dachinesedude]

very smart to set one up at river rock, being right beside the canada line, for sure gonna be the busier one

You know what would be awesome? If they end up getting the food trucks to set up stalls! And they probably will probably draw more mainstream visitors.

I don't work or live downtown so I never have a chance to try any of the food trucks, it would be awesome for them to set up a location at the night market for sad people like me to try their food.

I'm not sure how well the food trucks would do at the Night Market because their prices and cuisine very much appeal to the downtown office crowd. (I.e. Not cheap Asians looking for a deal)

On the few occasions I've been to the Richmond Night Market, the non-Asian food vendors have always had significantly less traffic around their booths compared to the Asian stands which is unfortunate. Then again, when I go to the Night Market, I want my steamed dumplings and meat on sticks.

The night market (the organizers and customers) will benefit from a diversity of foods and stalls. Who really needs 6 stalls selling fake shark fin soup or steamed rice rolls? One or two = ok, 6 = not ok. It'll also bring in some positive press (not the Chinese people only BS we hear about)

A lot of those food vendors often have a food court stall somewhere? Don't see it any different than a food truck-operated stall. If anything, they get more utilization out of their trucks.

[Tim Budong]

The original NightMarket

the RICHMOND NIGHT MARKET will find success depending on how they run the place...simple as that. TOO MANY PROMISES to vendors could ultimately bring them down again

[The_Situation]

I don't like this. Even if 1 location gets packed I prefer it that way. Plus I never need to find parking as my gym is right there and I can walk over

[Akinari]

I always end up taking transit to the night market. Not too keen on wasting away the night on finding parking. Plus, traffic is absolutely nuts, don't want anyone slamming into me.

[City-bear]

I had a stall last year, and I'll tell you this. I feel like one of them is gonna bomb, and it probably is going to be the one further away from RR. Simply put, there is just not enough people going to these that will keep both of them sustainable. Also, that group treats their vendors like crap.

[Obsideon]

Was the original one Night Market THAT busy that they feel DOUBLING the size would be beneficial?... I personally have only went on Sundays so I don't know how packed it truly is ... seems like the "better" one is gonna pull everyone there ... the verdict will be out within a couple weeks of opening ... :concentrate:

Yes they open on the 18th

their website

Richmond Night Market 2012 | We're Back with a Brand New Location! (http://www.richmondnightmarket.com/)

The other nightmarket website
http://www.summernightmarket.com/main/default.asp

you will notice, their time of operation is different on for Sunday. The New Nightmarket starts at 6PM (1hour ahead of the one at Home depot). Both closes at 11

While their Monday to Saturday Time is the same

[pastarocket]

-wonder if the stage acts for entertainment will be better at the night market next to River Rock than the Home Depot location.

[Jsunu]

The RR location has a huge draw being situated near the skytrain. I can see a lot of people going to that one instead based on that alone. Hell I would simply to avoid the parking hell at the summer night market.

[i-VTEC]

I believe the one near River Rock will get a lot of attention, but that being said, knowing there is going to be popular, its going to be very jam packed and crowded which I dislike walking while someone has a hand on your back, pushing you forward. Also family bring their strollers, sometimes you get clipped and Grandmas walking like ants! :devil:

I will still visit the one near Home Depot.

Btw anyone know anything about the Downtown Main Street Night Market???

I know you should stay clear of it. The Chinatown one is hella bunk it's like half a block of stalls which mostly suck.

DT one is one street side of crap, not worth the trip down to china town unless you are going to grab food there or get accosted by hobos.

[shawnly1000]

The Vancouver Chinatown one will either be gone in a few years or turn into a Western/Caucasian nightmarket given the demographic/business changes in the area

[Vansterdam]

just a friendly reminder the richmond nightmarket opens tonight :) :fullofwin: ( the one by home depot)

Went tonight and it wasn't too bad! Granted it was missing a few vendors that are usually there but it was decent. Walked away with an item or 2, egg waffles and fresh young coconut! The entertainment (band around...9ish) wasn't that bad either.

[winson604]

Time to see what the hot/popular item is this year.

heard The RR location is opening next week 18th of May with a dollar admission

This isn't even advertised on their regular web page; they buried the announcement on their Facebook wall. Sneaky sons-of-bitches.

I mean a dollar is nothing these days, but after all, we're Chinese and we don't like to pay for things which we feel should be free.

[drunkrussian]

^nah thats not a chinese thing. theyre making money from vendor stall rent and vendors are making money from us. the $1 is probably because maybe it costs them more to set up atthat location. but theyre setting up there because theyre assumin it will bring in far more revenue. thy shouldnt be passing the $1 risk onto us its straight up greed and thats prolly why its so hidden

[Not really racist!]

oh okay, so the one just off bridgeport is open.

rr is open next firday

[BaoTurbo]

The RR one is actually market planned right beside the Canada Line. I mean there's land and then there's transportation. Not bad. I'll probably check out both with the gf with year.

Felt weird ... because everyone kept looking at me while I was carrying my son in the baby carrier...

[insomniac]

There's two hurricane potatoe stand side by side on the very left aisle of food. The side where the shops are facing the seats/tables. I went to the shop on the right. The potatoes weren't done... They were still powdery/not crunchy enough. Sour cream and onion seasoning didn't taste right either. Was craving hurricane potatoes all year and I was pretty dissapointed. They had a slower line too (probably because fewer staff. Cashier did the seasoning and handled cash at the same time) because my friend went to the other shop and left while we were still waiting in line at the shop on the right. So just a headsup revscene.


And on the side note, I'm never going to nightmarket with k3lv/e.lo/cho ever again -____-

[drunkrussian]

the new item this year at the usual location one is a hot dog with some crunchy potato or yam shit wrapped around it. also more vietnamese stands than i remember. everything else sells cell phine cases

[skyxx]

I went on the SPACE simulation machine in Night market. BEST EXPERIENCE EVER FOR ONLY $5. Not.....

[AzNightmare]

Went last night. Fake shark fin soup is now jacked up to $6.50 for large.
Think it's $5 for small.

None of the food stands looked all that impressive.
There was this Indian guy selling Indian food.
I don't remember if he was around in the past before
But no one was crowding around his place, so I felt bad and bought some food from him.
Didn't look like he was that popular. Butter chicken and veggie samosa. Not bad.

[FerrariEnzo]

are the stalls all full or less then half?

Went to the Bridgeport one last night. Pretty much blew. Gf wanted to go so I thought I might tag a long even though I don't usually go this early. The green tea stall is gone that usually sells bottled green tea, instead it's replaced by hongers selling some other bottled drinks I never even heard of. Other than the usual well known stores theres nothing new

haha cmon you guys... it's a friggin dollar.

We're already spending money on over-priced street food and night market was free to begin with, I don't get why they're passing the cost down to us. It would have been better and what they SHOULD have done is pass the higher cost of rent down to the stall operators instead of the customers. Different strokes for different folks, it's probably the same shit at both night markets anyways lol rather save $1(or $2 if you're going with the gf) and head to the free one on Bridgeport :fullofwin:

$1 is nothing, just the principle.

[i-VTEC]

Saturday was packed
Sunday was less people

Food Stands were ok, price have definitely gone up for some. Stands same as every year, nothing special.

Saw a white KIA Sportage got toll away parked directly in font of fire hydrant haha

there is free parking after 9:30pm. the girl in charge of the parking lot collecting 4.50 took the signs away and cones.

Wouldn't charging the operators extra just give them an excuse to jack prices up higher? Say if I were to buy a couple items that were charged an extra dollar or 2 due to high costs, then I would be spending more than just that dollar admission

according to Richmond Review - Richmond Night Market returns after a four-year absence (http://www.richmondreview.com/news/151743975.html)

"• Admission: $1; free for children 10 and under and adults 60 and over"

Edit

So its true, they are charging $1 for admission fee

http://www.facebook.com/RichmondNightMarket

Admission $1 but if you are someone who goes a lot

They have 2 type of Zoom Passes, $10 and $20
$10 you get 12 admissions
$20 you get 25 admissions

Passes are transferable.

Purchase @ Pepper Wireless Fido exclusive dealer: Landsdowne Mall, Yohan Centre and Aberdeen Centre.
OR @ Their main office: #3063-8700 McKim Way,

Its Free Parking, well just consider that $1 toward parking fee, while the one at Home Depot Nightmarket costs $5 for parking

[i-VTEC]

Think of it this way, you go night market with a group of friends ei; let's say 4 people. That's 4 bucks. At bridgeport location, parking is 5 bucks but you don't pay admission. Or technically free if you park far away. Either way, you're paying for stupid fees.

The zip line at the new night market sounds fun.

Richmond Night Market 2012 | We're Back with a Brand New Location! (http://www.richmondnightmarket.com/press-release.html)

[i-VTEC]

It was clever scheme by them

Technically, the parking wasn't free. The admission fee goes toward it. People who go is pretty much paying for other people's parking fee. Doesn't matter if you walked all the way from North Vancouver or Skytrain there. You pay to help other people park. Or even toward to pay for the renting fee of the location to City of Richmond

Thinking about how many people are still going to go since $1 isn't that much, but if they were to collect $1 from X amount of people, they will be making a lot more than what Home Depot Night market make for $5 per parking spot and give admission free.

The night market at river rock is hyped, new, better location with sky train access, advertise as "Free Parking", also the Zoom Pass has advertisement of Fido, they make even more money.

There's two in Richmond, the one by River Rock Casino and the one that's been near Home Depot/Futureshop/Ikea each year. There's also the one in Chinatown.

20 Mins lineup for parking
30 Mins lineup for admission

Left when i saw all the people :fuckthatshit:

[k3mps]

just got home.
the market itself tbh was good.
i thought the admission was kind of smart. tonight as least, because it was already packed and there was still about 150 people lined up outside. wouldve been a gong show if everyone came in.
parking was horrible.
in the lot i was in behind the casino, it wasnt organized at all.
cars were blocked in every which way

[drunkrussian]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? why the line? is it cause they are charging admission and they suck at organizing it? or is it just cause opening day? seems kinda odd...i'm guessing it's cause of the admission fee thing


just got home.

how so?

i think it was laid out better and there were some new food booths.
i saw some food booths that are also at the other location

[604nguyen]

i got there early at 7:00 hoping to beat the crowd....and i was like :inout: :fuckthatshit:

just went to the other one instead

[Ronin]

The line isn't as bad as it looks...took me maybe 5 minutes from the parking lot.

But the fucking stupid part was...they charge $1 but DO NOT TAKE $20 bills. What the fuck? I can understand the $50 and $100 but $20?! That's bullshit.

Plus it is absolutely retarded to charge admission rather than parking. It just creates a choke point and a line. The other NM never has a line. And there needs to be a "YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PARK FUCKING PROPERLY" requirement. As 90% of Asians to park in a standard sized space in 10 seconds or else their family will explode and just about all of them with fail horribly. That's why there's a lineup of cars all the way to Canadian Tire.

[Spectre_Cdn]

The line isn't as bad as it looks...took me maybe 5 minutes from the parking lot.

:fulloffuck:

:fuckthatshit: I'll go in a couple of weeks, when they get their act together.

[ursher]

lineups: 10-20 mins to get into the free parking lots, 5-10 to get into the nightmarket, long ass lineups for food (waited 30 mins for 'The Squid Co', 30 mins for waffle balls), ~20 mins to get out of the parking lot, luckily I was parked in the second parking lot which was less than 5 mins to get out.

if they have to pass the cost on, i wish they would just pass the cost onto the vendors and the vendors pass the cost on to us. that way, sure we'd pay a bit more for the already overpriced food, but with no line. if you buy several items of different food a day i don't see the extra cost if they were to do it that way being more than $2 total for the whole night on all your food spend. $2 with no line is better than $1 with a buttfuck line that doesn't take 20's, to me at least

[Ronin]

LONG lines for food. Any of the good food. The only place with a reasonable lineup was one of the grill places near the front. About 10 people in front. Any others there were 30-40 people ahead so I didn't bother. Dead everywhere else as usual. There's a cupcake stand out there that looks pretty successful. Not in the food area.

[604778]

It feels like there is way more then the other location.

[Ronin]

If you want to avoid parking in that area, park on the other side of the bridge near the Westin. 5 minute walk to the entrance if you jaywalk across the two one-way streets that go to/get off the bridge to the airport. A bit dusty and not actually roads...just loose gravel. Not recommended for the ladies in heels but otherwise saves you the hassle of the 30 minute traffic jam into the parking lot.

[yray]

are there traffic jams going into RR park and ride or RR parking lot?

[Ronin]

It feels like there is way more then the other location.

I thought the opposite. Lots more choices in food and I think the prices are better as well. I saw several stands with $2 skewers. $3.50 for drinks. That seems lower than the other place but I could be wrong. There were some things that were hilariously overpriced like the $9 bratwurst hotdog and $7 for a tiny lamb chop. The "Rotato" was $3.50 I think. Or whatever place is doing those spiral potatoes. Somewhere is $3.50.

Also seems cleaner. But that will change in a couple weeks, I suppose.

[instantneedles]

Took transit there, and was glad I did. Huge lineups for everything since it was opening day, and only the stalls with big lineups sold the better foods. Easily lost $30 just from eating a few pieces here and there... Some food stalls were just like mehhh.... Who the fuck goes to the nightmarket to eat weiners?

[-lincolnboi-]

hit up the vulcan way one after river rock, seems so dead in comparison :lol

[tiger_handheld]

guys, instead of saying "other location" can you guys say RR or old location.

Thanks ;)

[Vansterdam]

should be

river rock OR bridgeport to make it easier

[insomniac]

yeah i wtf'd at the $1 admission fee at riverrock. i mean $1 is nothing but puts you in a bad mood right away.. the riverrock one is cleaner, wider and brighter than the bridgeport one for sure. its kind of like a maze though. nicer than the bridgeport one i would say. some of the food is noticeably more pricy than the bridgeport one. river rock one is more festive. but parking and lineups are retarded. i went at 1030 and traffic for cars was nuts

[Over9K]

What's a night market?

[hchang]

What's a night market?

A market that's open at night

[TRDood]

When does it close? Midnight or 1am?

[fs604]

midnight and 11 i think on sundays

[hal0g0dv2]

is the Richmond night market open every day or just weekends
thanks

[fs604]

weekends + friday

[RCubed]

Was gonna check out the riverrock one, traffic started backing up from cambie.
I :fuckthatshit:'d and went to the bridgeport one.

Still as busy as it was last year. Maybe everyone else did the same thing when they saw the line up for riverrock.

[spoon.ek9]

I'm under the impression taking the canada line there is the way to go lol. I have a few places near a station that I can park at without a problem too :D

[iTz_Curt]

Holy Jesus, I went tonight and the food area was busy as hell. The hurricane potato stand had at least, and I shit you not over 100 people in line. The only thing I bought were the bubble waffle things and I ended up waiting an hour and 10-20 minutes for them. The stand I went to kept losing power. Overall I don't think I'd go again. Not much to buy besides cellphone cases.

[Mr.HappySilp]

^^ I would only go at like 11:30 so I can get cheap foods........

[hchang]

Went to the Riverrock one today, definitely a lot crowded than I thought itd be.

Parking wasn't a huge issue if you know your back roads around richmond.

Felt a lot cleaner as already mentioned and a lot more shops.

[iTz_Curt]

Oh yeah and I ended up parking in the abandoned lot on bridgeport and No.3 road where the Italian restaurant is. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the night market from there.

[KrAyZiE TRD]

I saw a stand that sells flower bouquets made with plush dolls instead...
Does anyone know if there's an actual store that sells them as well??
Preferably in van or burnaby?

[JSilver]

Food went downhill.

[Durrann]

Seriously there's a 1 dollar admission at river rock night market ??

[Matlock]

I went to River Rock Richmond Night Market on Friday and it was packed. Tons of stuff to see, but the $1 fee kind of sucks. Probably really easy to sneak through with a crowd if you're incredibly short. Parking is a bitch, we parked by some marina far away and had to walk through the dark to get back to the car. Should have probably bought a sword, you know for my own personal security. :D

Went to Chinatown night market last night. Not what it used to be. I really miss the good old days when it was the best night market, before all the other ones came around. Bought some fish balls, too salty.

Tonight I think we'll check out the Summer Night Market @ Richmond to see how that one changed after the River Rock one probably stole a lot of it's vendors.

[GAGA]

Is there a parking fee for the riverrock one? the bridgeport one is still at 5?

[Matlock]

Is there a parking fee for the riverrock one? the bridgeport one is still at 5?

Fee only if you park RIGHT inside their own designated blue fence lot. Not worth it unless you want to deal with waiting forever to get in, paying, then waiting forever to get out. Park a whiles away and take a walk. Use your best judgement on where is a good place to park and where isn't. There are tow trucks roaming around, but there are also some good hidden spots which are fine to park in.

Also, you will save yourself a good deal of time if you avoid driving right by the night market on river road. Try to stay at least a couple blocks away to avoid half assed traffic guards and tons of cars.

[Shorn]

100 people at the potato twist line.

":denied::fuckthatshit: i'll come back later"

sold out. :okay:

[Stealthy]

I think we need a review of what really matters at the night market

























































how were the LGs

[kristianhay]

Went to the RR night market last night and it was pretty fun. The usual vendors, good food, a shit load of people. The $1 entry fee didn't bug me - it's a fucking dollar haha. Some cool purple lights.

Little tip: I parked at Costco and just walked over (probably a 5 minute walk?) and beat the nightmare that was trying to park in the designated areas. A couple other people seemed to be doing the same as well. ;)

[i-VTEC]

Will night market open tonight? raining kinda hard~

[Anjew]

i parked around Costco also and walked over. The walk is awesome because it builds up the appetite on the way and burns off the food after. =)

i used to think that going near closing is awesome because of the deals but the diffrence between a freshly cooked skewer (or anything else) more than makes up for the extra cost.

it was so busy but that is to be expected right? the only downside was mainland older couple that was talking so annoyingly loud behind us and kept pushing up against us.

Should have turned around and started pushing up against them.

That would've made them keep their distance.

Unless they reciprocate and push even more from the front.

Same thing happened to me. Scrawny Asian dude and his gf behind me kept pushing me, like actual pushing, trying to move me faster though the crowd but regardless of how hard they push, I can only move as fast as the people in front of me.

The funny thing is they couldn't come close to budging me and they would actually push harder. I just turned to a friend and said "I don't know why people bother pushing me when they're 90 pound weaklings." :ilied:

:lawl: at the ppl who have to wait till 12 am to close shop

[prolepsis]

Went at around 7ish to the RR location. Wasn't too busy, because of the rain, but there was still a lineup for the Rotato (potato) food vendor.

[cho]

how good is the "rotato" at rr as opposed to the bridgeport one?

[604778]

^^ I haven't tried it, but when I was at RR tons of people were having it.

Either way they aren't worth lining up an hour for.

...or a really wacky alternative to the phrase "sausage party".

I just had one today. I got the regular potato with bbq seasoning, I thought it was too sweet. But for the price it's alright. My gf got one too so it was 2 for $5.

so weird... bumped into a group of chicks that i grinded/dance with at the club last week :pokerface: they were laughing/whispering when they saw me :lawl:

anyone went to the bridgeport and sweden one? was it dead/more empty compared to the RR? pretty pack at the RR.... one hour lineup for potato swirls? :fuckthatshit:

went to both today for the second time, the bridgeport one was pretty weak, not many people. Think it will die soon :ilied:

[TRDood]

Went to the RR tonight. Waited from 930 to 1015 starting at Costco.

Rotato is that great? There were at least 100 ppl in the order line.
$8 for the walking balloon dog is awesome. Just not $8 though.
Squid co. Had a good size line uo but $6 too expensive for boiled then grilled squid.
Seafood place with $6 half lobster is insane. Cost is $7.88 each at T&T.

[dlo]

Went to the old one, its surely dying out but meh w.e food there is still good

[!Yaminashi]

The new Fido Richmond night market by River Rock was packed tonight. Is it just me or does it seem to be layed out alot better than the older one by Home Depot?

do you happen to remember where is the seafood place located in the maze? by the sounds of it, it sounds like a good deal. And being chinese, we love good deals :ilied:

[TRDood]

First row facing the merchandise section, opposite side of Rotato.

It's the only place called Seafood something(?). They also serve grilled abalone for $5. Don't know if real or fake. Anyways the lobster is real for sure cuz i saw it on the grille.

Best place to park @ RR Nightmarket?

[iambuRnz]

Best place to park @ RR Nightmarket?

Casino = less traffic when exiting

Beware though, I was told by the flaggers that RR monitors the parkade.

[i-VTEC]

Best place to park @ RR Nightmarket?

Defintely not Casino, they will observe the parking lot. People said park at Costco, its about 5~10 minute walk so it is not bad. Otherwise, you can park at lansdowne the Skytrain. Park near No9 Restaurant as it is open 24/7 thus, the lansdowne patrol won't suspect much

[skyxx]

Park at Casino. Walk into Casino. Do a stroll around then come back out lol?

[hchang]

Casino = less traffic when exiting

Beware though, I was told by the flaggers that RR monitors the parkade.

Last time I went there was a Casino Security Guard posted at one of the Staircase Exits.

And there's a bunch of traffic at coming out of the Casino Parking lot, you have to merge onto River Road where everybodys squeezing to get into the Night Market.

I parked a little down the street where River Road turns into River Drive, and walked there. A little longer walk but a whole lot faster.

[yray]

no one here is willing to pay $2.50 to park at parknride

great casino gaming is fucking pissed off at the traffic arrangement. They had execs on the corner of the road on the first day taking down notes, some even went and directed traffic. :lawl:

[Edison_Chen]

There's an sign at the Park n Ride which says something about no "night market parking"

I don't exactly know why. Maybe if everybody parks there, there no RR parking for their customers?

At the same time, how to they track all the different people who park there? I park my car there every Monday to Friday morning and jump on the skytrain, and come back around 630 pm..

[registrar]

Where do you guys park your cars at the New location of RR night market (RiverRock)?

Thx :)

[RevYouUp]

read above dude..

[EDawg]

not a big fan of their gravel lot...

[Verdasco]

not a fan of walking through the gravel to get into the casino parking :facepalm: big rocks = no no

i laughed at the idiots waiting for half an hour to park at the gravel lot when they can just go into casino parking. There is no way to get caught unless someone sees you not going into the casino.

[yray]

There's an sign at the Park n Ride which says something about no "night market parking"


I think they don't give a fuck as long as you pay, after all the spot is yours for 24 hours. You can do whatever you want during that time with your body LOL.

I saw some guy there checking with a palm computer, saw a ticket once too.

[Tapioca]

I visited the Richmond Night Market on Friday night and overall, I wasn't terribly impressed. The merchandise stands are a joke and I couldn't believe the line-up for that Rotato stand. Sure, there were a lot of food stands, but none of them seemed to offer anything that exciting. I had some Takoyaki that was all batter and of course some bubble tea whose powder wasn't fully dissolved. The dim sum I had was of course mediocre.

There were a couple of solo performers (Caucasian) who played to an audience of no one. I felt pretty sorry for them and I'm sure they could do better busking on Granville Street.

In hindsight, the hype around night markets died shortly after 9/11 when merchants stopped selling fake designer goods.

[Grandmaster TSE]

its not the vendors fault for not selling fake designer goods anymore

there is a strict regulation on goods sold from the designers themselves to get rid of knockoffs in all markets, so vendors are limited overall of what they can or can not sell

[Razor Ramon HG]

I visited the Richmond Night Market on Friday night and overall, I wasn't terribly impressed.

Yes, I was quite underwhelmed by the RR location. The only thing I wanted out of the night was the giant turkey leg, but he wasn't at that location!

[HondaGuy]

Finally got the chance to check out the river rock RNM sponsored by fido friday night. Across the river rock casino parking tower is a gravel lot ( next to commercial shops) that are free but huge potholes where I saw a b-class MB kept hItting all bumps and lumps lol... All you hear is thump thump boom... Poor underbody. Then theres the official parking lot next to night market, paved and smooth roads but you'll need to get through the traffic workers which takes longer. Staff at admission said its free parking but dont forget $1 admission fee.

Bigger venue so more room to walk around, long lineups for hurricane potatoes couldnt believe how ppl kept in order, lotsa shops selling phone case accessories, girl makeups, and dvds.
Had a nice stage for music singers, lotsa different food varieties, and too many lbs and lgs running
around.

Ended up staying less than an hour and bought a phone case for my dad.

I know many ppl say to park at river rock tower but I saw many casino workers checking out cars and
few management types lurking over to market for food hahah...

[HonestTea]

Went to the Richmond Nightmarket @ RR, way over hyped, took forever to get from Cambie & Bridgeport to Costco. Food was pretty bad...Takoyaki, all batter. Bubble tea, ran out of bubbles and the drink had powder that wasn't dissolved yet, skewers were bland and bubble waffles were soggy and clumped together..

Probably not worth it, might head to Bridgeport location though, seems like they have the same stalls(at least I think they do?) and less line up! AFAIK food was better there last year :)

Saw a older model C-class blocking the middle lane cause it ran out of gas and one of his friends bought a Jerry can over and tried to fill the car up, more than half of the gas spilled all over the ground.. So much fail.. LOL

[Araaadi]

I was walking around bridgeport location with a XL turkey leg in one hand, and the corn on the cob in the other hand. Best $11 combo. Also had a plate of butter chicken which was pretty good. I went to the RR location last week and won't return because of the dirty gravel parking which made my car very dirty and scrape a lot.

[Ikkaku]

kettle corn ftw but their prices went up and their sizes went down :(

[Verdasco]

for food, bridgeport > Riverrock location. Would not go back to river rock tbh..... even though there are more LGs.... fuck wish they only had one so i can see my old friends in just one location instead of one or the other...

[AzNightmare]

Went today. Traffic was hectic around there. But I found free parking in the lot cause I was lucky.

The place is way too packed though in the food area. It was so bad, I felt like I was on the Canada Line during peak hours.
It's worst than the Bridgeport one. The other stands were more or less the same as what they offer in Bridgeport.
So you just have more of the same stuff.

The only thing I liked was how the fake shark fin soup was a bit cheaper at $5...
But not really a big deal. I won't be going back to the RR one again though, just because of how busy it is.

[TRDood]

Went to the RR one tonight again for the Rotato. Not impressed.

Last year it was $3 for 1 or $5 for 2. Last year they also used golden potatoes and hand carved it on a stick.

The Rotato is a joke. DYI drill that cuts the potatoes. Cheap brown skinned potatoes that cost 10 cents a piece. Sold at $4 each. Super long line (but moved fast).

As for parking, RR casino should consider charging $40 for parking entry like Edgewater. The casino can then exchange the parking fee as playing chips. That will drive away all the parking cheaters. I also hate the line up and gravel lot. Tonight I went to the RR customer parkade, went into the casino to take a piss, exit then walk over to the night market. :fuckyea:

[thegentleman]

Does anyone monitor NCIX, BK or Italian Tomato parking lots? Then just walk to avoid the bottleneck effect of cars exiting around closing time.

No stand at the RR location carried a screen protector for my Samsung S2X. :seriously:

[Tapioca]

its not the vendors fault for not selling fake designer goods anymore

there is a strict regulation on goods sold from the designers themselves to get rid of knockoffs in all markets, so vendors are limited overall of what they can or can not sell

Don't get me wrong: I'm not blaming the vendors for not selling fakes. I actually feel sorry for the merchandise vendors because what can they really sell that will draw people in? You can only have so many stands selling cell phone cases before the market gets saturated.

[tiger_handheld]

RR night market has the worst traffic mgmt system. the flaggers are LB's probably without a drivers license. I was the last car in a line up of about 8-10 last night, and the guy instead of letting me go, decides to hold me for a good 10mins. There are cars flowing out from all different directions. There is no set entry way to funnel in foot traffic. people have to cut through flowing traffic to get to the admissions gates. They have a guy on a boom lift right in the middle of the gravel parkade to spot. Not sure what exactly he's spotting.. I'm sure a bunch of tree monkeys and pylon cones and do a better job!! Also talk about the lack of signage. Had to keep asking flaggers - which way was for parking.

RS admins should consider getting the RS traffic crew and contracting them out.

Finally, LG's were non-existent.

/rant

[Datsun]

Went to RR yesterday night: Can't rmb which food stand it was (I think it was one of the bubble waffle ones closer to the main cluster of non-food stalls), the asian girl that works there oh lawd dose dimples, dat smile

As for stuff to buy, there wasnt anything that you couldnt get off eBay for 20% of the prices listed there. Selection was awful too, most of the GSII cases were just sparkly jewel girly ones.

[AzNightmare]

the S2x accessories are so hard to find compared to the other S2. I had to Ebay everything. So annoying.

[twitchyzero]

its going to be very jam packed and crowded which I dislike walking while someone has a hand on your back, pushing you forward. Also family bring their strollers, sometimes you get clipped and Grandmas walking like ants!

Defintely not Casino, they will observe the parking lot. People said park at Costco, its about 5~10 minute walk so it is not bad. Otherwise, you can park at lansdowne the Skytrain. Park near No9 Restaurant as it is open 24/7 thus, the lansdowne patrol won't suspect much

Are you guys talking about the paid parking parkade lot at the casino? Any reason why you can't park there? I've been parking there and taking Canada Line to downtown for concerts/hockey games all the time.

"talking about the paid parking parkade"

You can definitely paid to park at casino and walk to Night market if you want lol, but i think people are finding free parking spots with in walking distance from the Night market since the free parking lot by the Night market is packed

I just noticed nothing but many many hurricane potato stands all over the place, I remembered seeing around five at the original nightmarket last time I was there.

They're not that great.. are they? I've never been arsed to try because the lines were always abnormally huge

whats a night market?

RR night market has the worst traffic mgmt system. the flaggers are LB's probably without a drivers license. I was the last car in a line up of about 8-10 last night, and the guy instead of letting me go, decides to hold me for a good 10mins. There are cars flowing out from all different directions. There is no set entry way to funnel in foot traffic. people have to cut through flowing traffic to get to the admissions gates. They have a guy on a boom lift right in the middle of the gravel parkade to spot. Not sure what exactly he's spotting.. I'm sure a bunch of tree monkeys and pylon cones and do a better job!! Also talk about the lack of signage. Had to keep asking flaggers - which way was for parking.

RS admins should consider getting the RS traffic crew and contracting them out.

Finally, LG's were non-existent.

/rant

+1 for lack of signage... getting into the parking AND exiting!! had to ask flaggers how to exit, and instead of giving me direct instructions, made me go around in circles

Oh yeah.. think I saw Yuffa at one of the booths at the RR one

I enjoyed the cold japanese noodles at the RR location! Half off after 11:45! Fricken delicious cold noodles with takoyaki sauce, unagi, tamago, chopped scallop and something else.

Went to the bridgeport location on sunday night, food more expensive, i miss that bubble waffle guy... at least bubble waffle place has more flavours now!
