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.

In a brilliant location just off Flinders lane. We were seated upstairs which I assume is the main dining area. It was only 30% full at 8pm. The service team were very charming and they were honest and helped us to ensure we didn't over order. We do have a habit of doing that! The food was tasty and the sweet and sour pork with stir fried rice exceptional. This is not a run of the mill Chinese restaurant and it has a small menu. Some of the seafood prices seemed very expensive but we are from overseas so are maybe out of touch.

Small portion size for the price, food itself was very tasty. Soft tofu dish is the winner, good drink menu. great spot for a hangout with not too much noise. Toilet needs a little update or cleaning.
