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.

Food was average. Pork belly was tough and dry. Been to many better places. Restrooms are quite dirty. Expected much better tbh. Will say though, the drinks are delicious. So perhaps a better place for a drink than good food.

My crustacean allergy was expertly taken into consideration and all staff were aware of my allergy. The food was efficiently delivered as we had a theatre booking to consider. Our only complaint was the pork belly which was a little tough. A very pleasant evening.

We’re delighted to hear that our team took great care to accommodate your crustacean allergy and that the food service was efficient enough to fit your theatre schedule. Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience is always our goal. We’re sorry to hear the pork belly didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll be sure to pass this feedback along to our kitchen team for review. Overall, we’re so pleased you had a pleasant evening, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience.
