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.

    We have tried to book at Kiss & Tell 3 times...and finally we got to go! It didn't disappoint :) The service was professional. The food was tasty and our Gluten Free guest was extremely well catered for. We loved the booth seating and the ambience (buzz) of the place was excellent. We had the set menu - which was a steal at $49 pp and there was plenty of food. The only thing that needed a little attention were the bathrooms...maybe checking them a couple of times during service would be beneficial. Thanks for a memorable night out.
