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.

Genuinely faultless food and service. Very very generous portions, accommodation made @ late notice for a vegetarian with additional meals provided for the banquet. So much food we took home quite a few take away containers (don't judge - food waste is a terrible thing!). This was a first time for me and I'll be back for sure.
