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.

    Delectable food with a great variety to choose from. Extremely generous portions in the "Feed Me" Menu. Staff very friendly and efficient. Second time eating here - will go again. Very convenient for theatre goers - Princess Theatre less than 100m away. Make sure you book ahead as it is a very popular place. My only regret - I didn't get to try the cocktails as I was designated driver. Very jealous seeing the array of delicious looking cocktails being served to others.

    Thank you, Cynthia! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the food and our friendly staff. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to welcome you back for another visit. Hopefully, next time you can indulge in those cocktails! See you again soon!
