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.

Dear Richmond,This little restaurant is our love letter to food. It's our happy little place, where we get to live the joy of feeding people everyday. We all grew up in spaces that equated food with love, just like this place. Everything we have done here is deliberate, from the art on the walls to the produce we use. We've made a point of sourcing ingredients from some of the best suppliers in the state, making sure that our menu reflects what's in season. For us, this place is about experience: we try our best to make you feel both at home and 'out for something special'. Every plate that comes back wiped clean by someone who just couldn't get enough is a 'the hard work is worth it' moment for us. Matty & Tee From Love Letter, with love x

    We opted for the $49 Feed Me meal, which offered 2 large dishes, 2 small dishes and a side. The standout options were undoubtedly the duck and the chicken dumplings. The duck was particularly memorable, with its tender flesh perfectly balanced by a rich sauce that added a depth of flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the meat. The smoky undertones of the duck complemented the sauce beautifully. The chicken dumplings, coated with a rich and smooth peanut chili sauce, were another highlight. This creamy sauce infused the dumplings with a deep, velvety texture and a subtle kick of spice, elevating the dish to new heights. The restaurant's high ceilings and spacious layout contributed to a pleasant ambiance, creating a comfortable dining environment. The service was satisfactory, with the staff being generally helpful throughout our meal. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and the culinary highlights made it a worthwhile visit
