On 1 May 2021, we had a nice experience having the $39.5 pp Feed Me Now menu from Hochi Mama. That feast include Smaller dishes, 2 Larger dishes and 1 side, below are what we ordered ✨ Smaller Dishes: 🌯 Beef Rice Paper Rolls - Great size, love the balance between the acidity and sweetness. 🦆 Roast Duck Crisps - Our favorite for sure out of all the great dishes! Reminds us of little tacos, each element worked perfectly with each other. Larger Dishes: 🦐 Prawn Egg Noodle - This was delicious but I’m not a fan of how potent the prawn flavor was, my bf really enjoyed it though! Great noodle texture too. 🍛 Chicken South Side Curry - We both love this, it is a bit on the sweeter side that what I was expecting but delicious nonetheless! Side Dishes: 🌯 Hanoi Seafood Spring Rolls - Best snack to munch on as a break to all the soft food. Great pairing with the chili dip on the side. 🍚 Coconut Rice (additional) - Can’t say anything but delicious as I’m very biased on rice. I think all rice dishes are beautiful and this one was too 😂 Overall, the dishes were all incredible with their own complex flavors and textures. Great level of spiciness, could be more spicy for me but generally speaking it’s not too overwhelming. The vibe of the place was cool too, I could see people from different age groups hanging out here (on the right of us were old couples, on the left were ladies group!). I highly recommend this place if you ever want to experience asian fusion dishes ‼️

Loved their set menu deal, it was simply the perfect portion (and price!) for 2. I’d recommend trying their fried chicken (and fried chicken bao!), they were absolutely tasty. Had the beef ribs, soft shell crab sushi rolls, and rice paper rolls as well, but found them to be fairly average. Service was super slow though.

Nice modern Vietnamese restaurant with party vibes. The service is very kind and didn't mind to go through all the trouble of explaining all the dishes to us. The food is very very good and cooked to perfection. Price is actually reasonable, but beware that the feed me menu is way too much food and probably not worth the price. Try having the lamb curry massalan, it was the best dish we had for the night.

This restaurant was a super surprise. 😮 The vibe is just perfect. The playlist is just too good with great hip hop tunes.😎 The inside is so beautifully decorated and perfectly lit. ✨The atmosphere is really nice. The Asian female waitress was just so warm and welcoming. The food was very flavoursome, the curry super filling. The chicken curry was nicely generous with chicken pieces. Nice looking cocktail menu with a good selection. Highly recommend! 🙏🏼

What a lovely Vietnamese restaurant with a great interior design. The food was a bit pricey but well worth it. We went with the “FEED ME NOW” option which lets you choose 4 smaller and 4 larger dishes and two sides for $39.50 per person. My favourite dish would have had to be the salmon sashimi and Southside curry. The flavours are amazing but not overwhelming with perfect levels of spice. Drinks were also amazing, will definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Tasty fresh and fast service here. Great upbeat vibe with a nice relaxed ambience. Went for Feed me deal which was 2 small, 2 large and a side of spring rolls ($42.50 each). So much food that we could of shared with another two people. Friendly service.

Found this walking past Chinatown strip of restaurants. We had lunch, it was extremely busy but service was prompt and staff were helpful explaining the Asian fusion dishes. All our dishes were just mouth watering delicious. The fried rice was like non other I’ve had before. Whole fish was really tasty and fresh. And so was the lamb shank curry. If in Melbourne city this place is a must for a meal

The feed me now is advertised as $44.50 per person but they add $8 to each large meal thus real price is $52.50 per person. The whole fish was slightly burnt. The beef rib was a single rib but was advertised as "all our larger meals are designed to share" The coconut rice was too sweet cause they simply took jasmine rice and poured coconut xream over it. The chicken ribs were way too salty. The kongfosh sasimi was way too tangy.

One of my favourite restaurants in Melbourne! The food is always super delicious and fresh, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is always the best! Definitely one of the best Asian restaurants in town

Insta: melbfoodie_mark YT: MelbFoodieMark ** Check them out for more food reviews in Melbourne! - Lord knows I waited way too long to eat out again. Legit counted seconds until June 1st. I've been to Hochi Mama about 2 years ago and it was mad proper. Good trendy vibes, dope music, delicious foods and best of all, cheap. So I had a high expectation going in and man, they killed it. We grabbed Salmon Ceviche, Scallops, Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice, Saigon Curry Crispy Pork Hok, Stir Fry Pork Belly and Mama's Pad Thai - they were ALL SO DAMN DELICIOUS. I honestly think the quality sky rocketted since 2 years ago. Or maybe it's because they just had less tables to manage due to Covid, who knows. Saigon Curry Crispy Pork Hok ($29) and Mama's Pad Thai ($22) really stood out. I don't know what their secret sauce is but they were all so flavourful and tasty. Pork Hok was juicy and went surprisingly well with its coconut curry sauce. Mama's Pad Thai was probably one of the best pad thais I've had in Melbourne. One thing I really want to point out is that the chefs here really know what they are doing with the maillard reaction. I could literally taste that torchy herby aroma while eating their pad thai and fried rice. Mad proper. Can't really think of any other place that can top Hochi Mama in terms of price and quality. Definitely worth if you are sharing meals with a group of friends. But FYI I might be a bit biased because I didn't eat anything all day just to fully indulge myself. But just to give you a bit of perspective, my friends also liked them a lot so it should be fine.

Vietnamese fusion done well. The fried 'hochi' chicken bao was a highlight. The other half felt that the caramelised pork belly had too strong a pork taste. The barramundi spicy Vietnamese salad was fresh and crisp - but be warned! They don't lie when they say its spicy! Betel leaf and spring rolls were also delicious. Great atmosphere, service was friendly and attentive. Food also came out pretty quickly - which is good for a work lunch crowd. Definitely be back for more of the menu and drinks!

I go as regularly as lockdown breaks allow 😅 even writing this review my mouth is watering thinking of the bao buns, the coconut rice, the pork belly - basically I have sampled at least 75% of the menu (and by sampled I mean devoured) and cannot think of a single complaint. I often dream of the Tokyo drift cocktail which I take as a sign to book in for a visit!

One of the most unique and modern Vietnamese cuisine we have seen so far. Delicious cocktails, very friendly staff all around the venue, great spot for a date night or to go with a table of friends! Friendly staff and quick service is a plus. Overall, it was a good experience.

Service is excellent, like wise the vibe in this busy restaurant. (5 stars)They will have you in, fed, and out before you know it, bit quick for our liking. Food - we struggled to mark here and hence (3 stars) as you can see by the pictures, beautifully presented and the smells and taste are delectable. However we (not having sugar in our diet) found the food very sweet, a bit to much on the sweetness side which became a bit overpowering for us.

I was disappointed with our meal tonight, our small dishes were hit and miss, the Chicken Baos were great and Kingfish Sashimi was also lovely. However, I didn't think their Betel Leave Bites or the Crispy Dumplings were anything outstanding. I wanted to be excited with the Betel Leave Bites but wasn't. We had their whole fish, Pad Thai and Beef Ribs large dishes. The fish was over cooked, Pad Thai was lacking complexities and I found it overly sweet. The Beef Ribs' flavour was wonderful but the meat was a little dry. This venue is a little on the loud side and seems lively for cocktails and drinks. Our seating of 6 was a little on the tighter side. Our wait staff could have been a little more attentive, however, they were wonderful and accommodating once you had their attention. There are better modern Asian fusion food around.

Chanced upon this place walking back from the museum to Bourke Street mall. The food was excellent and portions were OK. Ordered the crispy prawn dumplings, prawn sliders and Saigon curry pork hok which was big. The curry was a thick coconut creme version and highly recommended.

The restaurant had a good vibe with a cool bar front and centre. The music was loud and the restaurant was quite dark but the food was pretty good. We had the feed me menu and were able to try a large portion of the menu. The cocktails were also very fun and tasted good. Recommend dishes that have raw fish.

The atmosphere and overall vibes was great. The food wasn’t bad but it was overly sweet and after a while all we could taste was the sweetness. The bathrooms could be more clean and could also use hooks to hang bags.

The foods are fantastic! The seasoning is spot on! One of the best Asian Fusion inspired restaurant ever! The place is cozy! The vibe is amazing! The service is so good!

UBER EATS REVIEW: DECENT ASIAN FUSION CUISINE Ordered in a dinner for two early on a Saturday night. All items on the (Ubereats) menu were available. We wanted a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes and were able to get that mix fairly readily from the menu. We ordered: * rice paper rools (beef) - good flavour and texture * stir fried broccoli with crispy tofu - perfectly cooked * pad thai beef - this wandered a bit from the Thai original but was OK * fried prawn dumplings - good The serving size was typical of home delivery - that ubiquitous oblong plastic box filled generously. Fast delivery and nothing was spilled or cold :)

Delicious food, quite location and friendly staff.

I’ve been to the Richmond location and I wanted to see if the quality was comparable at the CBD location and it definitely was. Besides the menu being slightly different, you can expect the same quality of flavours and freshness in their dishes. I HIGHLY recommend any of the Baos and the Satay Chicken. Also do opt for the Feed Me Now option as it allows you to try lots of dishes for a smaller price than if you were to order them individually. I haven’t been disappointed in anything I’ve tried so far and I can’t imagine I will be. Such a fantastic establishment that I can rely on to serve consistently good food.

As one of the highest reviewed restaurants in Melbourne I expected far better food. The service was above par but it ends there. The cocktails weren’t particularly outstanding and I feel as though a restaurant with 80 people inside should have more than one guy making drinks. The Good Perfect bao Rich, flavoursome curry Service Price The Bad Rice paper rolls - no flavour, too dry Pad See - far too much of it for how heavy it is. Too salty for pad see. Slaw - not a slaw! Completely dry which is the absolute opposite of slaw. When I say dry, I mean zero moisture was included. Rice - felt like old dry rice left out for the past 6 weeks. Cocktails taste like they had 19 litres of maple syrup added in. Too sweet. Tables are far too close to each other which made for a highly uncomfortable experience constantly bumping into others/being bumped into. Due to the ratings and what our friends have told I’m assuming we had an unlucky night and things are usually a bit better.

The feed me menu is excellent value of money and lets you taste some great Vietnamese delicacies. Also, they are super busy even on weekdays but service is good. Might have to wait a bit in between dishes but we didn't mind that. The cocktails were amazing too! We loved the chicken baos and Vietnamese paper rolls.

Hochi Mama is a perfect place for some Asian fusion dishes with good vibes. I liked the interior decor with funky neon signs, but what beats this is their foods that are absolutely delicious. One of the staff members, Sa, was very friendly yet professional and was also fully of personalities. All the dishes we ended up ordering after following Sa's recommendations were 👌👌. Oh and it was super busy despite it being Tuesday so I'd recommend a booking in advance. Highly recommended.

First time here at Hochi Mama. Superbly impressed food was amazing. Many Asian staples made extra special. Very reasonably priced. Four of us had plenty to eat from basics to large, at least one glass of alcohol each plus dessert and it was barely $60 per head. The staff was very attentive. Special shout-out to Lenny who took my booking by phone because I had trouble getting on the website. Definitely will come back again make sure you book ahead

Took our friends and family visiting from NZ out for dinner and Hochi Mama didn't disappoint. We have been to many restaurants and some with amazing experience that just heightens the experience and makes you want to recommend the place to everyone. Well Justin at Hochi Mama did that for us. He was an excellent host and took his time in explaining everything then providing some amazing recommendations. We had the feed me menu and everything was amazing

Delicious flavours! The soft shell crab fried rice was so scrumptious, a bit like msg heaven. The small sides were flavourful, nicely flavoured scallops. Nice atmosphere and no wait time!

This place is just delightful. The kingfish sashimi is an absolute must. The delicate balance of the sweet salty spicy flavours in the sauces are incredible. Value for money is great with 2 starters 2 mains and 1 side for $45 per person. Meal sizes are generous for sharing. The lychee cocktails, tempura prawns, and duck curry were all great. Can’t wait to return!!

Trendy Asian eats with high costs attached. Plenty of options and has a nicely priced sharing deal, which as a meat eater and a veggo didn't quite gel. However food was lovely plated and tasted pretty decent though I qualified no coriander *the devil s pubic hair * and got it Sigh My noodle dish was the pic of the litter Lovely cocktail range too Staff Attentive even was busy Little to loud for my likes Won't be back as equally lovely food cheaper down the road

We went with the feed me option- everything was packed with flavour and so tasty. The highlight was the whole fried fish which was an extra $8 but well worth it. Drinks were also a hit! Perfect spot for lunch with friends. Service was impeccable. This is asian fusion done right- highly recommend!

Had a great experience at Hochi Mama and will certainly be going back. Great food with a ton of exotic flavours and each dish was plated beautifully. Brilliant atmosphere. I couldn't fault the service by the staff who served the meals in ample succession with the name of each dish being mentioned on delivery. They were very attentive to whether we wanted anything else to drink as well as keeping our water glasses full. Suitable background music was playing. Would certainly recommend this place!

The vibe and ambiance was incredible. Perfect for a date night or out with friends. The food was also amazing and FULL of flavour. The price was reasonable too for the portions you get, I recommend getting the set menu as you get a lot for the price. I would HIGHLY recommend the mussamane curry, I’ve been all over and this is one of the best. The meat just falls off the bone, must get the coconut rice with it. I also recommend the roti, the crispy pork, boa buns and the pad Thai was one of the best. You will be left full and loving life, so good. Also the cocktails are worth a try. One of our new favourite restaurants in Melbourne, best food.

Great food and atmosphere! The "Me Hungry Now" option at about $35 per person is such great value for money. It's definitely on the list of regular restaurants for me now.

Was recommended the Salmon Sashimi followed by the Seafood stir fry - both absolutely delicious, fresh and full of flavour. I would eat here again, would be great with a group to provide the chance to try different dishes. Great menu!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended!

I'm a little bit in love with Hochi Mama! I've eaten there twice recently, both times with a small group, and both times the food, drinks and service were amazing, well priced, cosy engaging atmosphere. My new favourite spot ?

Our anniversary dinner tonight was lovely. Staff were attentive and prompt to welcome us with complimentary bubbles. The food is delish (we did the ‘feed me now’ menu) and the standout was the salmon tartare and pork belly dishes, recommended by Zey, who was warm, informative and knowledgeable. We’ll be back!

Cuisine is Asian/Vietnamese fusion. The place is cozy and inviting with dim lights and a busy atmosphere. The food is hit and miss - the coconut rice was too sweet, fried chicken wings were nice and crispy, the rice paper rolls were fresh but the meat was a bit like luncheon meat? Service was exceptional. Overall, was pretty good experience.

Great location and ambiance. Our waiter Brian MADE our experience! He was professional, entertaining and fun, as well as having incredible knowledge of both the food and drinks menu. Something that really stood out to us was how happy the entire team of staff was. Nothing felt like ‘too much’. Highly recommend the ‘feed me’ menu! Cliff & Alice

Food and cocktails are excellent. Love their feed me menu. The staff including bar staff are always super friendly. Me and my partner come here quite regularly and we’ve never been disappointed.

Absolutely loved it! Amazing fish and service was really great! Can 100% recommend!

Been to Hochi Mama a few times and is absolutely my FAVOURITE PLACE. The food is out of this world and they have amazing cocktails to match!!!! Cool vibe and cool people! Visited just after covid and the staff were such a delight and so friendly. Highly recommend.

Great good, great cocktails, great service! Love this spot

Great food and amazing service..

Just ordered takeaway lockdown. Everything from service to food just outstanding. Staff called to confirm our Feed Me Menu, charming and helpful. Food was hot, delicious and excellent portions. Amazing value for money. Could even feed 3. Can’t wait to eat with Mamma again. We love Mamma. X

My favourite lunch place in old golden days! We were missing it so much so ordered the dinner online. The Banquet “Me Hungry Now” is value for money. Do try it! They offer 10%discount if you order from their website directly! I would definitely be doing that in the future. Support local.

Excellent service and great food, if you're in Melbourne visit, have a meal and be happy!

Came in for lunch with my wife and had such a great experience. Everything was clean and the food was delicious. Our server felicity was attentive and her recommendations were spot on. Definitely coming back.

Awesome customer service, food was decent

Terrible experience tonight. First night out after covid and they gave us a 70 minute sitting and basically kicked us out. Rushed the food, rushed service and rushed experience. Felt like we were criminals who were being circled around.

Great staff ?

Guys thank you so much for making our first dinner out since COVID a wonderful experience. The food was served super fast. The sizes were perfect for the money paid for the dinner banquet and I just loved how quirky the staff were. I could tell they loved having people around! I know it's terrible to have the place so quiet, but honestly I loved the fact only 20 people could be seated inside. I could actually hear myself think while munching down my food. I'll be back for the dinner banquet again.

Great selection of Asian fusion dishes, with friendly and attentive staff every time. The vegan Peking duck and mixed curry are winners along with the fried chicken (alone or in bao).

Great food and atmosphere, the staff there are absolutely lovely and they do a wonderful job accommodating for everyone

Amazing

We knew this place was popular and we didn't have a reservation, but the excellent front of the house young lady found us a table and we were delighted with our dinner experience. The food is great and the service is good. This restaurant stays on top of its game and no surprise that it is always busy.

Great food service exceptional

Lovely vibe, tasty food!

Make sure to book if you want to go as wait times can get quite long on weekends or busy days. Well worth the wait though.

Brilliant and busy hotspot with amazing food. Good for quick turn around or long lunch. Small share plates are perfect if you want to try lots of different things.

Fantastic Vietnamese cuisine!

Hip and cool place with yummy food at affordable prices. We went for the Me Hungry Now deal and that was perfect!

(Translated by Google) Great Curry (Original) Geniales Curry

Great food, friendly staff

This place is Amazing! I’ve been here so many times and I keep bringing different friends each time to try it out. The staff is super friendly and accommodating (especially if you have dietary requirements) if there were 6 stars I would give it.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Amazing Service, the people are so incredibly friendly and fast! The dishes were amazing and cater to gluten-free! Great location and no harsh afternoon sun! Whenever I'm in Melbourne I'll be coming here everytime! ??

Vegan peking duck and vegetarian curry. Great vibe. Placed gets pretty busy but food is delicious!

Delicious food

Nice food, but very very loud. Not too cosy either. Prices were pretty standard. Not cheap not expensive.

Came here for valentines day dinner, the food was fantastic and I would have loved to have walked away fully satisfied. However I had an 8:00pm booking which we arrived on time for, took about 5 minutes to be seated because the front of house was on the phone, was very abrupt once off the phone. Service after that was prompt and the food came out fast, we finished our meal and were asked to leave our table at 9:10pm. I didn't complain because we had finished our food and the restaurant was busy so I didn't want to cause a fuss. But as I was a paying customer who ordered a considerable amount of food too the night left a bitter taste after being asked to leave so abruptly after 1 hour and 5 minutes. Very poor form. Would potentially come back on a less busy night, but never again on a busy one as would be too concerned about being asked to leave before the "1hr 30min" seating time.

There is a great range of dishes and they are all excellent. The staff are always friendly, helpful and give great recommendations. Have been on several occasions and will definitely go again. Highly recommended!

Food is pretty good. Funky little restaurant with inventive dishes. Prompt service but not a place you would sit the whole evening n unwind after your meal.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner. We had the feed me menu and picked variety of dishes. I would say overall the quality of a few of the dishes were lacking and didn’t really work, especially the smaller dish option of DIY prawn wraps. The components really didn’t go well together and the sauce just dribbled off the leaves. The venue was very lively and service was alright, there are better feed me menus out there.

WOW probably one of the best meals i've ever had!!! Great atmosphere and overall vibe. The staff were wonderful, so kind, attentive, and accommodating. It was so busy so we were seat ed outside and usually being seated outdoors means the waitstaff barely check on you but the waitress was so lovely and checked it we had everything we needed as well as being available if we wanted to ask any questions throughout the meal. We had 2 of the starters and 3 mains and they were all incredible and so so delicious. Cocktails were yummy too and beautifully presented. Perfect way to end our weekend trip to Melbourne. 🥰

Lots of good flavours in their dishes. I really enjoyed everything we order there especially their coconut curry dish. If you can’t handle chilli, you might want to let them know as I found some dishes quite spicy.

My bestie bought us the DIY Hochi hamper for grand final to celebrate my husbands birthday, and boy it did not disappoint. All the dishes were packed so well and easy to prepare, and heated up so well. We had the hock curry and the Massaman curry and they were devilish melt in your mouth. Drools. Although... the salmon ceviche was soo refreshing with all the right textures. Cant wait till we get out of lockdown so I can have friends over and share this with them.

I enjoyed take away from Hochi Mama for my recent birthday - what a fantastic lockdown present it was! The food was amazing and so much flavour, perfectly packaged and Hochi Mama we’re happy to discuss meat and non meat options. Thank you for a fabulous ISO birthday Hochi Mama!

Great food, great service and great value! We were seated outside which was nice when it was still bright. But when it got dark our table needed light. It was just a bit too dim. Otherwise, everything was great!

Very fast service. We had the Feed Me Banquet where you choose one small, one large and one side per person in the banquet. All the food came out very quickly. Their seating time is 90min and they will reinforce it to the minute. Good ambience.

Good vibe, pink lights, good music, perfect for a girls’ night out! First restaurant to visit after lockdown.. 🌹🌹💜

Such a funky atmosphere with great tunes. Bit on the expensive side but so worth it. The food was amazing. One of the best masaman curry's ive had. Cocktails are nice too but nothing too fancy. Would defiantly come back here. Great place for a date.

Caught up with a friend for dinner here and we went for the feed me option on the menu! The food was fantastic and the portions were massive! Both cocktails and food are remarkable and packed with rich flavours!

Some of the best food I've had, with wonderful, quick, friendly service. So much flavour and the vegan options are incredible too.

Standard Melbourne Asian fusion affair. Tasty mix of south East Asian and central Asian flavours. Nothing too mind blowing but tasty. The banquet is surprisingly not bad value and a good feed. Stand out dishes where the appetisers.

This is probably my favourite food in all of Melbourne. They have an awesome menu with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options and it's all so insanely well done. Crispy food comes out genuinely crispy, and stays that way despite their generous helpings of sauces and toppings. Everything tastes delicious, including their cocktail menu which can be paired to the food you order. If you like spicy food, this place will not disappoint - some of the sauces turn me into a hot mess. But they are just so delicious that it's worth it. If you're not a spice person though, you'll still be fine as the staff will happily serve the sauces on the side for any particularly spicy dishes. Service is really fast and the staff are very attentive, checking in often to see if you need anything.

One of the best pad Thai’s we have had since Thailand. All items were fresh and quality produce. Staff were brilliant, extremely friendly and even provided us a complimentary drink for our mothers birthday. Definitely plan to visit again.

My family went here on Sunday to celebrate my Dad's birthday and we were impressed! All the food and drinks were delicious. We especially liked the Chinese broccoli and pork belly! If you have an allergy please ensure you tell the staff multiple times. When ordering I was told non of the dishes I picked had nuts only to find out when the food arrived that they do have nuts. This could have ended in a hospital trip if I didn't triple check. The bathrooms were also dirty but that may have been because it was the end of the night.

A Modern Asian fusion place. Their banquet price and portion are perfect and worth it. Overall all dishes are quite tasty. I would recommend mama noodles, chicken cashew, vegan duck dish and the pandan cheese if you are after something sweet. The small bites are quite average tbh.

The 'feed me now' menu was excellent! There was a good range of food to choose from- all the meals we chose were delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The food came out really quickly. The cocktails are superb! A really fun restaurant with a great vibe.

This was quite a food experience. Flavours to tantalise the tastebuds in plenty. From the starters to the end, it was indulgent. Loved the spices. The cocktails menu is fantastic. The banquet is great for a large group and the value is completely worth it. We rolled out of the restaurant, we were so full. The service is friendly but a little slow. Our mains did take about 40 minutes to come out but it was so busy and bustling, the staff were flat out. Enjoyed every minute of this experience.

Selected this place to eat based on its name and it did not disappoint! Reservations highly recommended. Great ambience and vibe. Excellent customer service and the food is truly a mouth watering experience with each bite. Enjoyed every dish - especially the Roast Duck crisps and Vietnamese Slaw. I don’t even like beef ribs but the Sticky Beef Rib was falling off the bone and packed with flavor. A must try if you’re looking for a Vietnamese/ Asian fusion that your tastebuds and tummy will enjoy! I’ll be back soon!

Was a great experience! We enjoyed all our dishes however the cashew chicken stir fry didn’t impress us. The pieces of chicken were a bit too large and the chicken tasted a bit strange. However, all the cocktails were amazing. Would recommend. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner but would probably not order the stir fry again if we came back. Everything else including the service was great.

Overall I enjoyed my dinner at Hochi Mama, I was craving Asian Fusion and booked last minute booking for early dinner. Making booking was really convenient through Open Table. Food was good overall, I got the banquet option for 2 people, we got to choose 2 smalls, 2 mains, and a side dish. I’d recommend going here with empty belly if you are getting the banquet because the portion was generous! I’d recommend getting the Bahn Mi Slider for starters! We also ordered Hochi Chicken (4/5)— huge portion for 2 + super crispy but nothing too fancy about this one… and also ordered Hanoi Crispy Fish Market (3.5/5) — again, big fish for two, crispy, but not enough flavour on the sauce unfortunately. We also had Up in Smoke (cocktails) and a glass of white wine — these two were good pairings to our foods! The place had such a good vibe which would be really nice whether it’s for a date, casual catch up, or group gathering. Overall I enjoyed my dinner here, would come back again to have drinks & small bites 😬

If you’re looking for amazing Thai food in Melbourne, this place is your go to. The banquet option is such an amazing selection for sharing with a group. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were very accommodating, and took the time to explain items on the menu. There was so much food to go around and is definitely a place I would revisit

Hands down one of the most amazing places I've eaten in Melbourne. The food was amazing - we did the share for 2 which was more than enough food. I loved the atmosphere, if you enjoy early 2000s music bangers and a good cocktail this is a fab restaurant to eat at!

Like probably many, we decided to try this place as it was nearby the theatre where we were watching a show... But unlike others we didn't book so we were lucky to get a seat, albeit at the bar. The venue has subdued lighting and nice atmosphere. There were plenty of reasonably priced selections whether you were after shall share plates or larger meals. We went with the Tofu Pad Thai and Chicken cashew. Both of our meals came out very quickly and portion sizes were quite decent. Both meals were very tasty. Glad we decided to drop by and would be happy to recommend.

The service was so great. The food is Asian Fusion at its very best and great value for money. Love love love everything and will definitely be back to taste other dishes on the menu.

It was absolutely a fantastic experience dining at Hochi Mama for my husbands bday. I was recommended by colleagues and boy where our taste buds pleasantly surprised by all the dishes we ordered. We chose the feed me option. From the cocktails to entree, mains and desert, everything was perfectly delectable. Good table service. Great atmosphere 👌 👏

Beautiful flavors, great ambience and good service. We tried the scallops for entrees which were great and pad Thai for mains is highly recommended. Also had bao buns, dumplings, red duck curry.

A lively atmosphere, great place to start your night on the town or a meal after a show. Neon lights are a nice touch. Sharing plates are a good size and the food full flavoured. If you love chilli you'll be happy here.

Lovely meal with 2 friends. Seated promptly then kinda ignored till we started waving arms around. Once served food came quickly and was delicious! Had Betel Parcels, Satay Sticks, Pad Thai, Duck Curry, Stucky Ribs. Funky urban-cool vibe. Recommended.

They accommodated me (solo diner) at the bar so I was mostly serviced by the bar staff - thank you! Hochi Mama has a great vibe and the cocktails were amazing! I had a couple of smalls, which was ample and tasty. Will be back with company next time.

Atmosphere of the restaurant was good for couple and friend to have a chat with Tapas was good. Main meal a bit dissapointed, pad Thai was too sweet and fish a bit dry, I recommend fish need more sauce. Midori cocktail strongly recommend.

Amazing Asian fusion restaurant, with a very neon themed vibe and exceptional menu, all priced very reasonably for you to enjoy a great night out with family or friends. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is beyond the service too.

Definitely recommend booking as there was a queue from open time at 5pm - it might have also been because Mamma Mia was playing at 7ish around the corner. Ordered small dishes to share between 2 people. Each of us also had 1 cocktail - I had the lycheezy, and my friend had the pash and dash. We shared 1 set of prawn fried dumplings, 1 set of prawn and pork steamed dumplings, chicken bao, and the salmon sashimi. This was the perfect amount for us to share - everything tasted really good - bao was fluffy, steamed dumplings were decently filled, salmon sashimi very fresh, and the fried dumplings were not your typical wrap dumplings but a prawn cracker like outing - it added more of the crunch texture which we loved! It’s a bar/restaurant so it’s a bit dim/set to mood lighting. Good rnb music playing in the background. Good quick service. I would come back to try mains and other cocktails!

First time here and surprisingly had a good time. Seems quite busy so worth booking in table before going. Dinning time is limited. Felt rushed the entire time. Most of the server were nice and friendly but the one serving us was very annoying. Two minutes after sitting asked us if we’re ready to order. Requested for more time and she came back within 5 mins and we ended up sending her back and ordered with another staff. After that she came many more times throughout the night. We did the feed me now and got to choose three small items and three large ones from the menu, along with one side ( didn’t really make sense for just one side but anyways). Had the chicken bao, satay chicken and pork and prawn dumplings for the starter. For main had cashew stair fry, fried chicken and beef rib and it was soo good. Also had vegetable spring roll and some rice for side and it ended up being too much. They had food cocktail options in the menu. Overall, good food and good atmosphere. Would definitely rego back.

The food and vibe of this place are all amazing, some of the best food we had in Australia! To start off, the service and atmosphere were both amazing. Everyone was very helpful and attentive. The overall vibe is fun, there was good music and the inside is really cool. Pretty much every drink and dish we had was amazing. We did the feed me now amongst 5 people and had leftovers. We tried the chicken bao, chicken satay, kingfish, chilli prawns, spring rolls, pad thai, cashew chicken, beef rib curry, fried chicken, beef pad see ew. The standout dishes were definitely the bao, kingfish, pad see ew, beef rib curry. I would highly recommend trying those. If I’m ever back in Melbourne, I’ll definitely be making a stop here.

Really good food and you can choose 2 small two large and one side for 45pp which is great! The cocktails were also amazing! Great service as well! Better to book before coming as it can be really busy

It’s rare to have a 10/10 dish in general, but somehow every single dish and cocktail they serve manages it Pad Thai is a must, best I’ve ever eaten
