Takeout

+1

Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. Our cheeky and buzzing Asian Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date.

Outdoor Seating

Takeout

After being the ‘life-of-the-party’ in downtown CBD for the last six years, Mama’s ready to kick-start another exciting new venture in the wild, wild East! And where better for this Tiger Mama to roar than the vibrant South-East Asian hub of flavour and culture that is Swan Street, Richmond!

+1

Born out of the wok-tossed flames of Vietnam and introduced into the bustlin’ heart of urban Melbourne, Straight Outta Saigon's serving eastern flavours for it's CBD crew. Immerse yourself in 90s hip-hop mixtapes, swim in our offerings of tropical elixirs, and bask in the taste of street-side viet-fare without the frills!

Since 2011, Chin Chin has earned its place in Melbourne’s cultural tapestry. Even though we’ve become a so-called institution, we’re definitely not an establishment. Fuelled by chaotic, relentless energy that affects everyone who comes in, our antics defy the usual culinary pretensions. We believe in making dining truly democratic, it doesn’t matter who you are or who you know, you just need to be into it to be in at Chin Chin.

Disuko

DISUKO, cued from Tokyo 1980, split into elements that define the time. Open-air dining, shared izakaya, omakase for occasion, music always. Refound on Melbourne’s city skyline, DISUKO brings those moments forward in a lively and layered setting. Our nomikai, the Terracotta Roof, offers after-hours respite and weekend ease, the izakaya lounge gathers friends over plates made to share, and omakase offers pause for a theatrical food occasion.
