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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Hochi Mama CBD offers an eclectic Asian-fusion dining experience with "delicious food" and "amazing cocktails." Guests praise the "friendly staff" and their attentiveness to dietary needs. While the atmosphere is lively and vibrant, it can be "noisy" for conversations. Ideal for pre-theatre dining, with generous portions and great value.

    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.

    Not only did we wait 28 minutes for our food, the starters and mains came all together. One hr lunch break so in less than 20 minutes had to eat all this food Wasn't the best experience, just had to through down the food.

    We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend
    Hochi Mama CBDResponded 4 days ago
    Jessica thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Feed Me menu and that our vegan options hit the mark for you. It's great to hear that the friendly and helpful service, as well as the cozy seating, added to your dining experience. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    Amazing place, the interior design is really neat. Good is very good, the service was amazing (the man we dealt with was super easy going). Only thing was it is quite loud (only because it is popular) but if you don’t mind that then definitely worth your time. Also cocktails are mwaaaah
    Hochi Mama CBDResponded 4 days ago
    Daniel it’s great to hear you enjoyed the food, service, and the interior design! We’re glad the atmosphere and cocktails made a lasting impression.
