At wet-market stalls meat, seafood and vegetables are often priced by the catty (斤) or tael (兩), and prices move with the season and the weather, while supermarkets mostly sell pre-packed, price-labelled goods. Alcohol may only be sold to people aged 18 or over, so you may be asked for ID. The days before Lunar New Year are the busiest of the year for markets and dried-seafood shops, and many stalls close for the first few days of the new year. Market stalls are freshest in the morning and may cut prices before closing in the evening; bring a bag and small change.
Opening hours: daily, 07:15–19:45. It is open seven days a week. Many small businesses close for a few days around Lunar New Year and may shut early or not open during typhoons and black rainstorms, so check the latest news before you set off. There is no phone number yet; if the business has a website or social media page, try there, or use the Google Maps link on this page for the latest details.
At 3.7 out of 5 on Google (1,004 reviews), it sits mid-table; the written reviews say more about service, prices and waiting times than the number does.
Mong Kok is part of the Yau Tsim Mong District in Kowloon. Around Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay many industrial buildings now house offices, restaurants, gyms and studios, while Kai Tak is a newer district. Kowloon's streets are busiest in the evening and at weekends, shops keep long hours with many open until about 22:00, and the Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Ma lines plus buses and minibuses reach almost everywhere. Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping districts: Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Fa Yuen Street (Sneakers Street) are lined with small shops, and the buildings along Nathan Road hold countless upstairs shops.

One of my favourite wet markets in Hong Kong. Seems to have gotten quieter over the years but there is still lots of energy left. The sights and smells of the market is still fantastic.

Nelson open air market is well organized. Lanes selling fruits, vegetables, raw seafood, pork, chicken and dried seafood. A local's market place. Worthy of a visit.

This food market made me wish I had a room with a kitchen rather than a hotel room. All the foods available are fresh or live and so cheap. Giant tiger prawn, oysters, clams, lobster and a huge variety of fish. There is also fresh spices, vegetables and fruit available at stalls too. The area is well managed and quite clean. Seems to be an area that locals do there buying, not too many tourists.

Mongkok is a bustling district where Hong Kong's youthfulness, energy and creativity collides with old school culture, buildings and markets. It is a thriving district that is packed with crowds of all ages going about their respective lives and leisure interests. There are numerous street markets scattered around Mongkok, one that I like is the Nelson Street Wet Market found on the west side of Nathan Road and Langham Place shopping mall and situated between Tong Mi Road (west) and Reclamation Street (east). Nelson Street is lined with vegetable, fruit, meat, seafood, sundries dealers. You'll find loads of delicious fresh food as well as peculiar finds including fresh tofu blocks, century eggs, Chinese medicine packs, frogs and other things you will rarely if ever see in western wet (food) markets. The market is under large red umbrellas offering shade during midday when the sun is out. Still better to go from mid to late morning (9.30am) when stalls are stocked up and at their best for pictures. The trade-off is that the street can be packed with shoppers at this time of day as well. In the end, you can actually traditional wet markets all around Hong Kong. If you are in Mong
