About this restaurant

Lively
Good for groups
Good for special occasions

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.

The food was amazing. We had red duck curry and the meat was really moist and tender. Crispy fried dumplings and wontons for starters were delicious, with a whole mouthful of tastes and textures. The service was fast and friendly and the whole experience was simply delightful.

Food was not as good as what we usually experience at Hochi Mama. Service was also not great. Still a good spot for dinner though.
Hochi Mama CBDResponded 4 days ago
Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear that this visit didn’t quite match the standard you’ve come to expect from us — both in food and service. That’s certainly not what we aim for, and we’ll be reviewing this with the team. We truly appreciate your ongoing support and are glad to hear we’re still a go-to spot. We hope to welcome you back soon for the kind of experience you know and love. Warm regards, Holly Guest & Reservations

Great value for money. Food choices excellent, as is wine list. Thoroughly enjoyed. Is noisy but you adjust to the vibe.

Had dinner before the Theatre, food was excellent. I also had Lychee and Yuzu cocktail (sorry forgot the name on the Menu) and it was superb. Flavour mix in the food sensational. Great value.
Hochi Mama CBDResponded 4 days ago
Hi there, Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your pre-theatre dinner — and so glad that Lychee & Yuzu cocktail hit the spot (even if the name slipped your mind 😉). Delighted to hear the flavours and value stood out. Hope to welcome you back again soon for another delicious visit! Warm regards, Holly Guest & Reservations
