Hochi Mama is an "it" spot - updated Vietnamese favorites like pho, rolls, and curries in a hipster setting. Vibrant, busy, full of cheer, this place buzzes - from the good natured and fast service to the full bar to the great urban artwork - all put together, a fantastic Melbourne experience. Highly recommend!

We booked in here before going to a theatre show however was stuck in traffic. They rang about our booking and we told them we were 1/2 hour away, they tried to accommodate us however it was so incredibly crowded and busy that we didnt have time to eat there. Looks great though and the staff seemed very nice.

We were off chasing a highly reviewed cool restaurant im Liverpool Street. They were full but suggested that we HAD to try Hochi Mama's chicken curry.
They were right. Buzz, surpringly great vietnamese cooking with a twist...and the team act like they own the place. Set the whiskey sour challenge to the cocktail team and was given two different beatifully made different versions. We reckon Cumulus make the best traditional WS in Melbourne. These were up there.
Fun, great value. Becky and Jules were terrific.
