Hochi Mama

Hochi Mama moved into the converted warehouse Botherambo left behind and turned the volume up: graffiti walls, neon, snug booths and an open-air greenhouse dining area filled with plants. At 125 seats it's built for groups, and its spot minutes from Richmond station and the Corner makes it a natural pre-game stop before footy or a gig.

The cooking is the same Vietnamese fusion that made the Little Bourke Street original a cult favourite: salmon ceviche with a secret sauce, fried chicken bao with kimchi, massaman lamb curry. The Feed Me banquet at around $55 a head is the easy button. The group clearly likes the street: they opened Spaghetti Club up at number 95 in 2026, making it two Mamas Dining venues on the strip.
