what's up guys David here and tonight we're checking out the 2019 Richmond
night market we're gonna check out a bunch of food vendors oh they were so
delicious then we're gonna take a look around the market see what things are
new what's the same I'm gonna give you the lowdown and stick around to the end
I got a really good tip for you now it's super easy to get there if you get off
at Bridgeport station you can see that it's only about a five minute walk over
to where the Richmond night market is held if you were walking from the
SkyTrain you'd walk down this set of stairs you'd
walk out here and you will see a crosswalk cross over that crosswalk and
around this corner and you will see signs pointing towards the night market
from here you can't miss it it's very well marked and it's only a five-minute
walk general admission is $4.75 seniors sixty and over are free and kids eight
and under are also free now there's gonna be a massive lineup do not wait in
the lineup it could take you like 45 minutes to an hour to get in here's what
I suggest you do go find other people and bind a zoom pass there are staff
walking around trying to sell you these zoom passes to the entrance
go find say you're in a couple two people go find two other couples six
people buy a pass and pretty much walk right in with the zoom pass the zoom
line might look long but it goes super quick now keep in mind this is only
really good if you show up right when the place opens if you go later on at
night you can just go to the general admission as you enter you'll see the
map to your right and we know we're gonna go we're gonna go straight to the
food there's so much food to check out so let's get right into it the first
thing I'll mention is there's quite a few of these skewer places and they all
kind of have their own little thing big beard had these quail eggs and it's all
about grill had roasted pineapple which I'm a huge fan of it's always nice to
see new vendors at the Richmond night market it keeps it fresh keeps it fun
something to look forward to and these guys were offering wonton nachos and
deep fried flamin hot cheeto mozzarella sticks just look at the cheesiness of
this thing and right next to it was a Malaysian fusion roti place and this
must have been the Canadian inspired one because it had mac and cheese inside and
we Canadians we love our mac and cheese one of my favorite new booths at the
Richmond night market was Salty's Lobster Shack everything was on point
the lobster was tasty and I'm not even a huge lobster fan the lobster bisque
again on point liked it all highly suggest checking that one out and if
you're in the mood seafood right beside it is nori Express
which has this hybrid sushi taco thing that was delicious
you're gonna find a lot of fun creative food ideas at the night market
another one is fries and things they offered a faux fries have you ever had
pho fries and I know some of you thinking right now David it's not pho
it's foie so we're gonna move on to beef tacos and
these Vietnamese inspired tacos might be just what you're looking for perhaps you
want Filipino inspired tacos and that's where you're gonna go to Meza grill this
was another one of my favorites at the Richmond night market this year it had
such tasty tender meat oh I was deliciously cooked definitely recommend
checking out this place if you're in the mood for a soup there's two places I'll
recommend zim drumsticks they've got a very basic menu its original recipe or
spicy soup broth you get two drumsticks some veg the broth very tasty I really
like this soup I like the spicy and what about spicy
noodles check out Aberdeen to get some spicy dan dan noodles so good very spicy
though one vendor I was happy to see back was chicken karaage and that's
because this is just straight-up boneless chicken deep fried with a
delicious sauce so if nothing else is catching your vibe you can always just
get some deep fried chicken and of course we've been eating a ton of food
now so we need to get something to wash it down with my go-to is always a
lemonade gotta get a lemonade at the Richmond night market they go
hand-in-hand for me now and while you're walking around you might notice people
holding pineapples and watermelons and that's because over at tropical bar
they're pitting these watermelons and pineapples blending it up and then
pouring it back in to the shell as a cup and as you know cuz I said at the
beginning this video I love pineapples so that pineapple juice was tasty AF
we're gonna take a look at some of the desserts and one place you gotta check
out are the boys in booth F 17 they've got their mochi around strawberries it's
delicious or perhaps you're in the mood for some deep fried sugary dough which
let's be honest aren't we all sometimes oh that looks tasty but guys there's a
tradition at the Richmond night market and that's to get an icy from icy bar
before we leave before we do any finishing up we got to go to icy bar and
get one these tasty mango ices look at that we've eaten a lot of food
here tonight at the Richmond night market and there's a reason that this is
the most popular night market in North America that's right look at this place
it just gets packed over a million people visit here every year so it
becomes one of those things you've got to see if you're in Vancouver every year
the Richmond night market has a theme and this year's theme is summer chill
party and that's exactly what this feels like a nice big chill party for all ages
there are plenty of carnival games to check out and I will mention this
quickly guys you can probably see from the video this place gets very crowded
you can bring your pets to the night market but I highly suggest you don't
one of the newest additions to the night market with the VR world which is really
cool and check it out if you're into VR for sure of course they've got the
classic octopus which will spin you around if you're brave enough to get on
it after eating all that food the night market is open Friday Saturday Sunday
and holiday Mondays it's open from 7:00 till midnight Friday Saturday and 7:00
to 11:00 on Sunday and holidays they also offer live performances on their
main stage and plenty of places for family-friendly activities and once
you've had enough to eat you can start wandering around and checking out the
retail shops there's lots of fun things to see here one thing you're always
gonna find is sucks usually it's like 6 bucks for 10 and
then you got the guy down the corner he's like 7 for 10 and then one guys
like 8 for 10 and you're just like ok enough
whether it's t-shirts with celebrity faces on them or a fortune-teller you're
gonna find something at the Richmond night market maybe it's a gadget maybe
you need a phone charger that's what you probably need you probably forgot your
phone charger with the night market being so accessible by transit it makes
this place a must visit for anyone coming to the city for a couple days or
a week or a month it's open between May and October so any weekend through May
and October you come visit the Richmond night market check out the experience
for yourself now guys I'm gonna give you a little tip here at the end of the
night about half an hour before the stalls close they all start dropping
their prices last call you can get all those little tasty treats take with you
or maybe come at the very end and you just swoop in and take in all that food
but keep in mind this is only for perishable things that they have to sell
that they can't store everything else is gonna be regular
price the whole time guys my name is David and I'm your guide to Vancouver
