It was a perfect experience, with a perfect ambience. The staff were extremely patient despite us staying over the closing time (very grateful, thank you) and the staff were very accomodating for my friend with food restrictions especially at such a short notice. Some of my picky friends absolutely loved the food, saying that all the different textures and flavours that came together made it such a lovely experience. I will definitely be coming back again!

About the restaurant

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.
