After being the ‘life-of-the-party’ in downtown CBD for the last six years, Mama’s ready to kick-start another exciting new venture in the wild, wild East! And where better for this Tiger Mama to roar than the vibrant South-East Asian hub of flavour and culture that is Swan Street, Richmond!

Mama's second-coming will be servin' you Eastside excellence! – but this sequel is just as good as the original!

We’re beyond ecstatic to share this new space with the public and bring the Richmond tiger cubs some of Mama’s lovin’!

The trademark of Mama’s dining experience is the ‘Feed Me Now’ offering! Patrons can bask in all the zingy and fiery flavours in Mama’s repertoire – indulging in a selection of our drool-worthy smaller, larger, and sides dishes – for an affordable spend per diner at $44.50 each!

Meal was good but the service is below average. As customers who had set a reservation a month+ in advance, you are expected to know how long you get to hold the table! No one came to us in the beginning of service to give a friendly reminder. 15-20 mins left on the hold, someone rudely interrupts us and hurry us to finish up with half a bottle of wine and plenty of food still left on the table. On showing annoyance, gets the restaurant manager who is no better and doesn’t understand the issue at hand but again tries to hurry us up. The manager gets the wrong bill too! They are clearly trying to get through as many bookings as possible but could’ve been considerate. We wouldn’t have ordered their feed me menu otherwise or a bottle of wine or would’ve gulped our food even faster (which we eventually did!) I’m not gonna come back and will not recommend to my friends if one wants to have a relaxed meal.

I’m writing to share some feedback following our recent visit to your Richmond location. Over the past few years, Hochi Mama has been a go-to for both family celebrations and office lunches. We've always appreciated the vibrant atmosphere, unique flavours, and generally warm service that make your restaurant stand out. However, our experience during dinner last night was unfortunately very disappointing. The service was not what we’ve come to expect. The wait staff seemed disinterested, and the server attending our table appeared to be having a bad day — which we understand happens — but it translated into rudeness when we tried to clarify some issues. Two of the dishes that arrived at our table were incorrect, and when we politely explained the mistake, we were met with a curt response and were told that not much could be done. It felt dismissive and left us quite taken aback. Beyond the service, the food itself was not up to your usual standard. The Penang curry, which is typically one of our favourites, was overly oily and lacked the depth of flavour we’re used to. My husband even ended up with a stomach ache afterwards, which has never happened before. The prawn betel leaf appetizer also tasted off — almost sour — and didn’t seem fresh. The only dish that still delivered was the dumplings, which were excellent as always. We’ve always spoken highly of Hochi Mama to friends and colleagues, and we truly hope this was just an off night. That said, this experience has made us hesitant to return anytime soon. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as we’ve loved your restaurant in the past and would love to see the quality and service return to the standard we know you’re capable of.

Great food, every single dish was a treat, each different and full of flavour. Spice level was also just right, enough to know it was there, but not too much for those that can't enjoy the heat... The service was warm, smiling and sincere, all too often later into the evening serving staff can look and sound tired, NOT at Hochi, we were always smiled at and spoken to in such a warm manner. Vibe was just right, music was loud enough to add to the atmosphere, but subtle enough that we could still converse. Highly recommended!
