Food - amazing, innovative and beautifully presented. The birthday cake was an avocado & cashew cheesecake - beautifully crafted and tasted 'cheesy' like a cheesecake should. Service was impeccable while very chilled despite the amazing proprietor managing the entire kitchen and service by himself!

The food was well presented and absolutely delicious! We had appetisers, dumplings and three mains, which we shared. Roti was so fresh and light. Food was flavoursum rather than too spicy hot. Portions were perfect for sharing between three of us. Good selection of wines by the glass. Service was attentive with useful tips, but not intrusive or hurried. Will definitely eat there again.

We did the bottomless yum cha Great food, great value…. Especially recommend the wagyu beef char kway teow, the peking duck pancakes, truffle chicken fried rice, crispy pork bao and the prawn toast (surprisingly!). Massive amounts of food but you should never complain about that… order judiciously

About the restaurant

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.
