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.

Service was great , food was very tasty with lots of flavour. Having read reviews about the red duck curry we ordered it and this was our least favourite dish. The sashimi, barramundi salad and the duck wontons were amazing. We will be back.

Best decision to have an a la carte lunch on Christmas Day. Awesome service via the phone & in person. Food we can’t fault. The only negatives were that they ran out of oysters by 1pm and also one of the cocktails. We will definitely go back.

My new favourite local place to hang out. Lovely to sit outside on a balmy summer evening. Food and wine are delicious and I love emphasis on seafood and vegetables. Floor people are friendly and relaxed, but attentive, adding to the great local vibe.
