Queens Night Market

Truly a gem. Stay with me. I was kind of apprehensive when first deciding to go. Sometimes I feel that food markets are not great because you don’t get to try a lot of foods either because it’s not a good bang for your buck or it’s so much food at each place that doesn’t allow you to eat more. However!!!!! Queens Night Market knows how to run a market. Firstly, majority of dishes are 6 dollars or less. Secondly, the portion sizes are perfect. They are big enough to share and still ear from more venders. For example, you may get 3-4 dumplings. To me, that’s fine because I just want to taste and move on to something else. I left feeling satisfied. Third, they had adult beverages to purchase - beer, wines, cider. Okay - let’s talk about what I ate. The corn fritters were incredible. They were crispy, had a nice balance of salty and sweet, and the sauce on top was delicious (described as a sweet soy sauce). Next, the Tibetan momos were delish. I forget which flavor we got but it was so flavorful that I think they all are good. My friend got chicken and shrimp wontons and said they were great. The papusa was the only meh thing I got. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t the best I ever had. It last some flavor. I would try a meat style one next time instead of just getting the cheese one. The chicken skewers were good! Had a nice bbq style sauce on them. The shredded beef plantain boat was out of this world. The salty sweet combo made it so delightful. I would 100000% get it again…first….so I can eat the whole thing. I wish the ratio of meat to plantain was better though. My friends said the sesame peanut noodles were good! I couldn’t leave without getting the soy sauce pan fried noodles. I saw them all over TikTok and knew I had to get them. I loved how thin they were. It didn’t make them feel like a heavy dish. The flavor was spot on. I will 1000% get them again in a different flavor. To finish on a sweet night, I for the twister cake cone. I like that the cone wasn’t not a traditional cone and more doughy but still firm. The coating was sweet but not overly sweet. The ice cream was good. Overall, a successful adventure. I can’t wait to go back.

Saturday we went it was extremely crowded. My kids enjoyed the band. Food was delicious. Tried Brazilian stand and corn on the cob and fried ice cream. Waits were maybe 40 minutes at some spots. Bring a picnic blanket and comfortable shoes. Wish they had more kid friendly stands. Perfect place to try lots of foods at once. Definitely recommend it for anyone visiting new york. Its free to enter and between 5 and 6 per item.

Love the variety of stalls that felt like a global buffet with all the difficult cultural/ethnic food options. Food were absolutely delicious and capped at $6, which was very affordable (remember to bring cash! If not, there’s an ATM! - a few stalls allowed other payment options), and even though the lines looked long and bad, they moved surprisingly quite fast. There were also other stalls with things to do and artisans to shop from. Also, loved the live music and the chance to chill with friends.

First time here, and I had a fun experience. The amount of stalls and variety of different food was amazing and the foods that we tried were delicious! Be warned that the price is a bit up there, but if you're with a group of friends like I did, we all have something different to try. I'm definitely coming back next year. They do have onsite parking that comes out to $15 but I found free street residential parking just a couple blocks away.

Wow wow we wow 👌🏼 with the prices being set as a max of $6, nearly everyone was $5, and you can afford eating at multiple places. And that goes the same for the portion size that leaves room for more plates. If you're going to chill there for a few hours, I suggest bringing either a throw blanket to sit on the ground or a folding chair. There was music the whole time, too. Squid skewer, dumplings, ceviche, Shumai, Ethiopian, Afghan...yadda yadda badda bing

BRING CASH!!! Amazing experience. We got here early at 530 Sat nite, took the 7 train to 111th St for a walk. We loved the variety of food, relaxed vibe, stores, picnic tables and music going on. Lines were shorter as thingd were just getting started. The Burmese food and the Ceviche were my favorites. You'll find something that you'll like, no matter your dietary preferences! Most items are $6, enjoy! We'll be back. Other tips: bring wet wipes for hands, blanket if you want to picnic, keep your plastic utensils and empty cartons to make it easier to share, be patient in line...these are local small busy businesses!
