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.

    We had an amazing night! The staff were very friendly, the food was great. The selection of games was good, we had a private booth and the staff kept the food coming all night. The atmosphere was really cool, the place is very retro . The owner is a super nice guy too. Highly recommend!

    We were a little worried after reading some negative reviews, but the food as well as the staff were great. It is a noisy place so don’t go if you want a quiet dinner, but then again this is an area full of tourists and young people it will be hectic every where .. but we did enjoy our food and the staff was attentive, helpful and gracious. I couldn’t decide which white wine to order and was given 2 samples so I could pick .. not many busy places will bother with that! The chicken skewers were delicious and the portion was very large. Last but not least we had no problem whatsoever with our reservation via Open Table. It s a nice lunch and dinner spot and have no problem recommending it!
