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.

Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time. Bathed in the red glow of oriental charm, her underground chinese restaurant was a well-kept secret by those in the know during the 80’s in downtown San Francisco; a hidden gem drawing people in from across the city with her timeless dishes and unforgettable ambiance. Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

    We opted for the $49 Feed Me meal, which offered 2 large dishes, 2 small dishes and a side. The standout options were undoubtedly the duck and the chicken dumplings. The duck was particularly memorable, with its tender flesh perfectly balanced by a rich sauce that added a depth of flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the meat. The smoky undertones of the duck complemented the sauce beautifully. The chicken dumplings, coated with a rich and smooth peanut chili sauce, were another highlight. This creamy sauce infused the dumplings with a deep, velvety texture and a subtle kick of spice, elevating the dish to new heights. The restaurant's high ceilings and spacious layout contributed to a pleasant ambiance, creating a comfortable dining environment. The service was satisfactory, with the staff being generally helpful throughout our meal. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and the culinary highlights made it a worthwhile visit
