Hochi Mama

Hochi Mama Melbourne's favourite laneway bar & restaurant ! Back in the day, Hochi Mama was the godmother of street artists, misfits, and rhyme-makers. So pull up a chair.

An immigrant in the big city, she turned her spacious warehouse into a buzzing home for the bold - hosting underground art shows, rap battles, and big, loud dinners where everyone had a seat at the table. She was known for reimagining the iconic flavours of her homeland, blending tradition with a rebellious edge. Her dishes were vibrant, punchy, a little bit cheeky. Always served with a generous p

our and a warm welcome. The more mouths to feed, the better. With R&B and hip hop on blast, playful cocktails in hand, and the scent of street-style feasts filling the air, Hochi Mama’s was - and still is - a place to kick back, be yourself and eat like you mean it. From her iconic Vietnamese-inspired cocktails to South-East Asian share plates with your crew, Mama’s got something for everyone. The party’s just getting started.
