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.

Not one to say to this over review but our experience was honestly so so bad. The service was fine, waiter was nice. We did the standard feed me menu. Starters were average, came out in 3 mins which tells me everything in batched cooked and reheated. The main were honestly disgusting. Ordered the cashew chicken stir fry - the chicken was grey and tasted like it was gone off or expired. The second main was the Mekong chicken, fried and greasy, the sauce was nice but the chicken itself again was really really bad quality and tasted a similar expired or gone off taste. We aren’t ones to complain but the manager asked why was our food okay presumably as it was uneaten. We told her the issue and in fairness she knocked the cocktail and beer off the bill which we appreciated. Staff were nice but we won’t be returning unfortunately, whatever is going on with the chicken in the kitchen.

My partner has some food intolerance issue which we told the waitress about… she said she will bring out a menu highlighting which items are ok for her. She did! Along with a card detailing the issues which she left on the table. The waitress who bought out her meal later then double checked to ensure the meal was ok with her given her intolerances. Amazing service and care! The food was yum which we both thoroughly enjoyed.. one of the meals could have been a bit better but only minor issue. Great place which we will certainly revisit
