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.

Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

A bit noisy, tables are a tad too small for sharing plates, but the food was delicious and the service was exceptional.

Not what it used to be. We found the service here to be pretty bad with rushing us and quite rude to be honest. We were the first sitting at 5pm and they were almost trying to wrap us up within 30 to 40 minutes, was a little unnecessary. The food lacked flavor and I took a big mouthful of duck fat in the red curry and it unfortunately put me off eating the rest of the food. Used to love coming here, very disappointed on this occasion.

I eat at the Richmond outlet a fair bit. I hadn't been to the city one for a long time. The staff were great fun and helpful. The food was the best I've had at either of the restaurants. The noise was a bit too much tbh. We couldn't hear across the table.
