On the other side of the street is a series of stalls selling clothes, shoes, and souvenirs. On Hoang Viet Street, the stalls are located entirely on the sidewalk next to the Dinh River.

Along with the scenic West Bank park and the dazzling array of decorative lights, the Ba Ria Night Food Street stands out with its pedestrian walkway lined with thousands of lanterns of diverse styles and colors, creating the feeling of walking under a sparkling starry night sky. The food stalls are also aesthetically and charmingly designed, catering to the needs of those who want to stroll, shop, dine, and enjoy the cool, romantic, and picturesque atmosphere of the Dinh River.

The food on offer is rich and diverse, featuring many delicious dishes characteristic of various regions, with diverse flavors and cooking methods.

Beverages are also varied, including ice cream, fruit teas, traditional desserts, and imported flavors. Local OCOP products such as Non La coffee, Ong Nhiem yogurt, minced fish sauce, tea, and honey also contribute to the rich and unique character of Ba Ria's night food street. Notably, the vendors greet customers gently and provide attentive service, creating an impression of civilized and courteous business culture.

Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Hang (from Tan Hoa commune, Phu My town) said that she often brings her family here to eat on weekends. The food and drinks are diverse for all ages, very delicious, and reasonably priced. "The riverside view is stunning.
