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.

What a little gem! Great service, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. We had the $49 Saigon social deal. Amazing value for the amount of fantastic food we received. The spicy salmon was insanely delicious. Cocktails were beautiful and so refreshing. The spice girl packed a punch, definitely our favorite. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you for having us Saigon Team!

The food and service was exceptional. It was a little crowded as many patrons were going to a show and needed to be served promptly. Next time we will book a table at 7 rather than at 6.
