You would not say either of these. It would be more normal to just say "Hey." or "Hi." or "Hello."
Good evening is a very formal greeting used roughly from sunset until any time that doesn't seem very late. Maybe roughly 9pm, but it depends on the occasion and the habits of the people exchanging the greeting.
If someone says "Good morning." shortly after midnight, it is probably because they are making a joke. The idea is that it is so late that we should actually consider it to be morning.

It would be good morning because once it hits 12:00 AM, it is the next day. Therefore, 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM is morning.

@Paul_Pham thank you for answering! "midnight" can be used as a greeting too? People in Vietnam greet like that at midnight?

@evanbattick340 Okay, totally true! But if you bump into someone at the 7-11 at 12:30am, you don't say, "Good morning" right?

Thank you everyone!
I have additional questions.
Some of my Filipino friends say "Good noonight" when they take a nap at 12 noon, and say "Good mornight" when they go to sleep after 12 midnight.
Have you heard "Good noonight" or "Good mornight" in your country? If you have, are they used just as a joke or used seriously?

@danaan99 I'm the kind of person who's very technical so actually, I would. LOL 😂 Also, I'm in highschool so I wouldn't be at 7-11 at 12:30 in the morning.
