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. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese 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 night.

Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time. Bathed in the red glow of oriental charm, her underground chinese restaurant was a well-kept secret by those in the know during the 80’s in downtown San Francisco; a hidden gem drawing people in from across the city with her timeless dishes and unforgettable ambiance. Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

Best decision to have an a la carte lunch on Christmas Day. Awesome service via the phone & in person. Food we can’t fault. The only negatives were that they ran out of oysters by 1pm and also one of the cocktails. We will definitely go back.

My new favourite local place to hang out. Lovely to sit outside on a balmy summer evening. Food and wine are delicious and I love emphasis on seafood and vegetables. Floor people are friendly and relaxed, but attentive, adding to the great local vibe.
