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.

Customer service and food is always on point. We had the barramundi salad and duck curry with coconut rice. Both delish. Background music too loud, adds to people raising their voices to be heard - noise level impacts on whether we’ll choose to return, given other options’ availability around the area. It’s highly competitive.

We had 2 curries, lamb and pork, which were some of the best I've tasted. The serves were very generous making it great value for money.

Absolutely delicious meal bursting with freshness and flavour. We opted for the very reasonably priced Feed Me menu. One member of our group is lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant. She had no trouble finding suitable and very tasty dishes, which we all shared. We ate outside, which was a good option as it was fairly noisy inside. Will most definitely be back!
