About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.

This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

    Food was not as good as what we usually experience at Hochi Mama. Service was also not great. Still a good spot for dinner though.

    Had dinner before the Theatre, food was excellent. I also had Lychee and Yuzu cocktail (sorry forgot the name on the Menu) and it was superb. Flavour mix in the food sensational. Great value.

    Absolutely delicious food, great vibe, playlist was praised by our group who ranged from 13 to 57. But's it's the service that is really fantastic, I'm coeliac and as soon as I mentioned it our waitress took my menu, crossed out what isn't our couldn't be made GF and put a card on the table in front of my place setting to be clear. We were really made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for a brilliant evening.

    We sat outside which was really nice. Inside seemed really loud. Food looked amazing and were good sized serves. The flavours were a bit simple or bland. Didn't seem to have depth or layers of flavour. For example we ordered a stir fry and it seemed like plain soy sauce was used. So it was salty and not much else.which felt like it ruined an amazing bowl of beautiful vegetables and tofu! For the money spent on these dishes, we expected more. Thought we would be walking away going "yum!" But walked away doubting we would return.
