Ruifeng Night Market - A Weekend-Only Foodie Haunt Where Kaohsiung Locals Eat


Ruifeng Night Market (Kaohsiung)

About Ruifeng Night Market

Tucked away in Kaohsiung's Zuoying District, Ruifeng Night Market (瑞豐夜市) is a fiercely local affair, cherished by Kaohsiung residents far more than by tourists. It's open Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday, and on weekends it buzzes with local families and couples. If you're after the real, un-touristed Taiwanese night market experience, this is the place.

Must-Try Eats

  • Wanguo Steak (萬國牛排) — sizzling hot iron-plate steak straight off the griddle. Easy on the wallet, yet seriously generous in size
  • Mala Stinky Tofu (麻辣臭豆腐) — stinky tofu simmered in a spicy, tongue-tingling mala sauce. A perfect match for an ice-cold beer
  • Moon Shrimp Cracker (月亮蝦餅) — minced shrimp pounded thin and deep-fried until crisp and golden
  • Yan Su Ji (鹽酥雞, Taiwanese popcorn chicken) — Taiwan-style fried chicken, fragrant with basil and spices that whet the appetite
  • Herbal Tea (青草茶) — a Chinese herbal tea, the ideal cooling drink for a hot Kaohsiung night

What to See

Ruifeng Night Market is known for its neat, grid-like rows of stalls. Beyond the food, you'll find plenty of game booths too, from target shooting to pinball, giving the whole place a festive carnival atmosphere. It sits right next to the Kaohsiung Arena (高雄巨蛋), making it a great spot to drop by on your way home from an event.
