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.

    I had been recommended this place and it did not disappoint. We had the sashimi and dumpling for entree both delicious and spicy . For mains duck and massaman curries . Both well presented and tasty. The noise level was difficult for my husband da who struggles in loud settings so that made it uncomfortable for him. Easy to get to by public transport . I’m from central Victoria but was staying at crown one tram . Staff very attentive without being annoying .

    The food was great value and high quality with lots of different flavours and textures to enjoy. I recommend the salmon sashimi and red duck curry. The service was quick and workers were helpful and friendly. My nit-picky critique I have is the Bangkok Belle cocktail was very sweet and didn’t pair well with the food, but was still a great drink for someone looking for something yummy and easy to enjoy.

    The food was amazing, roast duck wonton and satay chicken was yum. The mains Penang curry was to die for, the cashew chicken was fried and a little sweet for my taste, but it was a hit with my daughter. The Roti is a must so delicious. The restaurant is noisy if your a two the front window tables are best, 3 or 4 book a booth. Feed me is really good value, plenty of food. The drinks are pricey but same as everywhere these days
