7 of us had the Feed Me Now banquet with about 4 entrees, and around 3 mains, with sides and rice. It was so delicious and filling! Standouts were the tender massaman lamb shank, beef brisket, roast duck wonton. Our vegetarian guest had the tastiest vegetarian fried rice. The eggplant was tasty but a but oily. It was a bit spicy so need to ask for mild if you need. Fantastic cocktails, cool vibe and lovely wait staff added to a very special birthday celebration!!

Visited Hochi Mama for dinner and left with mixed impressions. We started with two cocktails, which arrived promptly and were well made—an encouraging start and arguably one of the stronger parts of the experience. For appetizers, the lobster taco (lobster paste on a corn chip) was just okay; unfortunately, the lobster flavor was barely perceptible. The banh mi sliders were more enjoyable overall, though the chicken was noticeably over-fried, which detracted from what could have been a standout bite. Service pacing became an issue with the mains, which took an unusually long time to arrive—roughly 30 minutes between courses. The fried barramundi, while the best-tasting dish of the night, was served only warm rather than hot, suggesting it was not brought out immediately after frying. The fried rice had a similar issue, lacking both heat and the depth of flavor you would expect from freshly wok-fried rice. The Hanoi-style greens arrived after the mains and were under-seasoned, feeling more like an afterthought than a supporting side. Overall, Hochi Mama delivers on atmosphere—the décor is stylish and visually appealing—but the food and execution did not consistently justify the premium pricing. The experience leaned more toward style than substance, and while there are flashes of promise, it fell short of expectations given the reputation and cost.

My family and I decided to try the Feed Me Now, which includes one smaller dish, one larger dish, and a side, all for $45 per person. It’s a great value, especially compared to choosing individual meals, because the deal is perfect for two people if you're not too hungry. We ended up ordering this meal for each of us, since there are four of us, and we still couldn’t finish everything! I highly recommend this place because the food is delicious, and we truly enjoyed our experience.

What a great ‘find’ in Melbourne CBD at 35 Little Bourke Street. ‘Hochi Mamma’ is such a fantastic option for those wanting ‘clean Asian fusion dishes’. The ‘Booth Seating’ allows for around (5) people comfortably, and I agree with other Reviews, it does ‘get noisy’ indoors, around the peak hour lunch times of 12 noon-3pm. Perhaps the venue could consider some ‘Sound Acoustic Absorption’ options? Very hard to hear at your own table. Ordering the ‘Chicken Cashew Stir fry’ with extra added Tofu; was a fantastic choice for sure. $29.00 + $5.00 for the extra Tofu= $34.00 for this main meal. $7.00 for the small Coconut Rice. The ‘Crispy Chicken’ was the most flavoursome I have had! You just want more because you have enjoyed it so much! So glad I added the Tofu- Also the best caramelised ‘wow’ flavour; other ingredients included Capsicum/ Chinese Celery/ Cashews/ Spring Onion & Chilli. For those who like more Chilli, I would ask for ‘Double chilli’ for a real ‘Hot Kick’. Foodies will appreciate the great choices on the Menu & it’s fantastic quality fresh food with bold tastes. The only downside for our table was that no one was above to order a ‘Coffee’ nor a ‘Fresh Leaf Chai’- with diff Milk options. Not sure why this thriving popular restaurant doesn’t have a ‘Coffee Machine’ blasting them out for diners. Apart from this, not being able to get a hot drink, I would have given this restaurant a 5/5. Definitely going back for the fantastic food & will get a ‘Hot Drink’ elsewhere.

We were there for business lunch, in a group of 5 people. Firstly, the ambience is like a bar (i imagine can be very busy). The table we were at was round, so easy to share the food. I would still prefer a lot more space to be honest. Food was abundant and well portioned. People talk about the sweetness of the food and I agree. Personally prefer it to be a l9t less sweet. The flavours, presentation and execution however were impeccable. Everything was bold in flavour, fresh and put together nicely. The drinks I had was the Forever Young mocktail, also delicious The feed me package for 5 ($45 pp) came with 5 small's, 5 large's and 3 sides. For this type of restaurant, it is definitely value for money. We got there just before 12 and got out by 1.30pm. The service was attentive. I will return for another special occasion. Dishes we had: Small: Tofu baos, Vegetarian dumplings, Duck wontons, Spicy fried tempura prawns & lobster tacos Large: fried whole barramundi, Hanoi style vegie curry, duck curry, Mama's beef salad and the stir fry eggplant & beans. Sides: 3 rice and 2 rotis (2 were additional)
