    Stall 32 Mrs Phung- night market
    Hien is a lovely man ! I met him on the first night and headed back on the second night to buy some souvenirs and jewellery from him . Would recommend paying him a visit at the night market if you are in Hoi An. Thanks Hien !

    Stall #32 Mrs Phubg
    Fantastic shop with great vibe and amazing selection of quality made products. Hien was so warm and friendly and made us feel like more than just another tourist. No BS or pressure from this shop take your time and you will get a great price. Couldn't ask for any better.

    Stall #34 Mr Thành- Awesome
    Night market was fun to walk around. Stall no #34’s owner Mr Thành and his wife were lovely and very helpful without being pushy. When they noticed that I was pregnant they got me some water and offered me a seat so I wasn’t standing the whole time. Very sweet of them.

    Store 32 is the best!!
    Hien looked after us, didn’t pressure us to buy and was very friendly. Amazing hospitality and beautiful gifts. Real wood and moonstone items depending on what you buy. Awesome experience overall, even gave us free (and safe, unopened) drinks because we came back to his stall! He spoke very kindly about us as a a couple and wished us a long happy relationship. Highly recommend to go to stall 32 as the market can get busy and a but overwhelming, but Hein will look after you. To quote him “no pressure, no BS”

    The Beautiful Hoi An Nigt Market
    We have visited many night markets across the Globe, to shop in this atmosphere is just surreal. The river filled with lanterns as a backdrop adds to the overall magic of the place. You might get a good deal on some stuff like souvenirs, clothes and lanterns. Bargaining is a must otherwise they might escalate the price...

    Shop Mrs Phung very good!
    Today we went to the night market. All the lanterns made the atmosphere even nicer. We then stopped at a shop that had beautiful jewelry. The owner of the shop named “Mrs Phung” was very personable and nice. we talked to him and bought bracelets for a good price :)

    Great Shopping & People Watching
    So much activity & energy here, night after night! Pressed ice cream (it's a great "show" to watch), light up toys, dried & fresh fruits, drinks, women balancing baskets on poles across their shoulders, selling fresh food items, Crocs-style shoes, clothes, rainbow colored lanterns, jewelry, handmade items, & SO much more; bargaining is expected & accepted. Check out the beautiful lantern boats paddling up & down the river while you eat/drink/relax nearby.

    Lanterns everywhere
    Beautiful 😍 my first sight here in Hoi An. Lanterns everywhere. The lights at night make it even more beautiful. We enjoy the candle lighting and going with the boat. Sellers are everywhere. You have to bargain if you don't want to rip off with prices.

After attending multiple night markets in Southeast Asia, I feel that this market is over rated. It’s small, and all sellers seem to be offering the same trinkets without variety. Despite this the market is packed at times. It’s an easy and quick stop if you’re already exploring Hoi An at night, but it’s not a destination. The day market just across the river offers more variety, with.a true Vietnamese cultural feel; whereas this market feels more like a tourist trap. Worth walking through for something to do - not worth making a special trip for.

The Hoi An Night Market is large and busy! A lot of the booths sell similar merchandise which puts the importance on who you are buying from, not what you are looking to buy. This is because prices vary a lot from one booth to the next. Booth 34 is the booth to stop at. Prices are the best we came across in the whole market, and the owners spoke good English and were very knowledgeable. It felt like you were buying from a friend.

Stall 34 took their time with us, places no pressure on the sale, let us compare and pick the best version of the same item and even ran away to find us something they didn’t have on display to ensure that we were given the right price and not taken advantage of elsewhere in the market. Best stall in the market - I’m the words of the owner ‘no bs!’

Overall, exploring the bustling night market was a one in a lifetime experience, especially when taking in the beautiful surroundings. However I would highly recommended visiting stall 32 if you have the chance. The man servicing the counter loved conversing with myself about my stay in vietnam, and provides high quality items at pretty affordable prices compared to other vendors around. There is a lot of leighway for bartering which reaches a kind of a win-win situatuon. I feel you must check out this stall if you are considering partaking in the night market!

For a city that is almost fully lit by lanterns at night, the night market had the least decoration of all sites, which was disappointing.

Street food sold right and left, and middle booths selling souvenirs which are copied by most booths.

Safe, but sellers can get pushy if you show interest.

Worth a visit, but don’t go with high expectations. I found shops in no -dedicated streets in the city more interesting.

One street market with not much variety. Lots to see but it’s all the same thing. Some very nice artwork and some street meat if that’s what you are into. Prices are higher than other markets I’ve been to so wasn’t impressed with that. It’s apparently closed as of today due to corona virus protocols. Nice place to eat close by and boat tours as well.

STALL-33

I stopped at this stall because it had a sign saying: looking is free,no pressure . And it was exactly what I wanted because people here are always pressuring you too much! After looking for a few minutes I saw a masterpiece! A handmade plate shaped Picasso decorative for the wall..I knew I couldn't afford it..and the man tried to help me out but it was really out of my budget..but when he saw how much I liked it he lowered the price so much that I could afford it and made me really really happy!! He also gave me and my boyfriend matching bracelets for good luck!! I am thankful to this man for giving me that price!! If you visit Hoi An remember to stop there!! They are the best!

Stall 34 had a really relaxed and calm approach to serving us and it gave a real family vibe to shopping.

The owner recognised that we were buying for family member and they helped assist us in the shopping but they weren’t being pushy with making us buy their products.

The pricing was really reasonable and we did not need to negotiate anything. When they say no BS pricing they mean it!

Hoi An night market is full of many stalls selling very similar stuff so the stallholder makes a big difference. No 34 saw us as we were walking down, said he was no “bs” and let us continue on our way. He spotted us on the way back up, approached in a very friendly manner, said no pressure ( which there wasn’t), was as helpful as could be, gave us time on our own to think ( which is rare in these markets) and we left very happy with what we bought.

We’d recommend him. Ireland guys

Throughout our 15 days Vietnam tour from south to north we've visited many night markets. They're so characteristic for Vietnam (as well all southeast Asia), selling street food, souvenirs, clothes, trinkets, fake goods,...etc.
This one in Hoi An was one of the better and more vivid ones, probably due to lanterns Hoi An is famous for. Have in mind they charge (10.000 VND = 0,4$) if you want your photo among them, which I find reasonable and for sure you'd do the same when every tourist is entering your shop just for that.
We even dined there and found the food delicious and hygienic, served on small plates on small low tables.
Many here complain about sellers harassment - too heavy word imo. Vast majority are very pleasant and kind people. They try to make their buck among hundreds of others, inviting you, lowering their (inflated) price,...
So, lower your guard, talk to them, make jokes, be like them and accept their way (you're in their country), haggle of course...you'll have great time (like us) and you'll buy for bargain. In the end, you're on a night market, not in a high end boutique.
