Cozy friendly ambience.. easy menu to choose from... lip smacking food..great value for money !! Warm service and courteous staff. Will visit again for sure
Tried the butter crab, crab soup noodles and toufu fries, every dish was really good! Great food great services, will definitely be back! :) :)
It’s no wonder there chili crab was rated the best in Singapore by the lonely planet, it was delicious!! Friendly service,laid back vibe & giving the customers a copy of the photo they ask if they can take for their digital photo board is a nice touch. Will be back next time I’m in Singapore
very good service and fresh crab, all favours are delicious. We ordered black pepper, bee hoon and cream butter crab. I will visit them again.
Food was sensational, staff were friendly and efficient, but, always a but - eating a messy meal Like chilly crab you expect the hosts to be all over the utensils, bib’s and serviettes. I had no crab cracker, had to ask for a bib and extra serviettes. In saying this, it’s a semantic - the food was outstanding and the staff were working hard to satisfy the guests. A bit of slippage is always allowed - especially when I am up to my elbows in the best chilli crab sauce in Singapore
The crabs are delicious here, especially the chili crabs. Great place to go for crabs in Singapore. You are better book a table in advance!
Trully the best chili crab I had in my life ! Tasted amazing ! And not to pricey. I will definitely will go there again.
We had the set meal for 2. It was a bit too much for us so we didn’t have room for the gelato. Good portions. The crab was fresh, meaty, tasty, but the bee hoon soup was slightly disappointing - it was the first time I’ve had it so I’ve no point of reference but it just wasn’t the light and milky seafoody broth I was expecting. Saying that, dunking those pillowy soft mantous in it was delightful. The spicy crayfish wasn’t spicy at all (typical for Singapore) but it was outstanding nonetheless- meat falling from the smokey charred shells. Veggies were good, and the squid small plate was cooked well but slightly bland. Service was friendly and attentive - they even took our photo and gave us a polaroid with the bill. I’ll definitely go back to try the other crab dishes, and will order the crayfish again
This is a great place. Great atmosphere and one of the best places for a chilli crab experience. More than happy to recommend this place.
Nice place with fantastic food and very friendly staff. Would have been better if you can change the plates regularly. My Japanese guests love this place. Will certainly come more often. Thanks!
back here for the second time, found it to be as good as the first time i did. service staff were attentive and the food was up to par
Good variety and choice. Must be a crab lover. Tasty and fresh. Service prompt and friendly. Recommended to many friends and all have enjoyed the food there.
Food was great! We had 5pax and ordered the set menu for 4pax and still couldn't finish the food... The place was packed with diners and it would be better if the aircon was cooler.
Little restaurant with nice environment. Crab was good. Service was good. Will come back next time. It will be better if the crab can be cut into small pieces....
Food was delicious but once it was delivered to the table the service finished. No one was asked if they wanted more drinks or anything else, the 3 young men sat behind the counter and played on their phones and chatted with their heads down. They appeared to be avoiding working. Customers had to go up to the counter to get their attention. Just not good enough and very disappointing.
Not bad but a bit too spicy for the black pepper crab. Even i love spicy food I found the taste too heavy. Stingray was good.
Good and fresh Chilli Crabs and friendly service. Great to have the chilli crabs with steamed man tou. Would love to try the black pepper crabs next time. Recommended.Enjoy!!
Great crab, quaint atmosphere in amazingly clean surroundings. Best of the Best in Singapore. Will definitely make a return trip and sad I only today tried this place.
Food was great as usual but service was very poor tonight. Three staff were working but nobody was actually tending to customers. Our bucket of shells was full and never got replaced.
The food was amazing. Great service and great food. Particularly like their selection of beer. It is a must try dish here in Singapore. Thanks Mama Kong!
Good crabs, and relatively straightforward pricing with fixed prices for the crabs. Original black pepper and chilli crabs are definitely worth trying, while most of our favourite was the butter; the crab bee hoon was a the preferred choice of our foreign guests.
Lots of variety for the different flavour to cook crab. Order crab beehoon soup and butter crayfish and it taste good. Am surprise to receive a photo printout.
Very good! Fantastic food. We ate chili crab and was espectacular. The place is very comfortable and all the guys who works there are very nice people!
Small crab for $50.00 fried , squid wasn't completely fried, staff served bored as we were the first ones there Overpriced for what you get. Other restaurants in Chinatown seemed much better value
Widespread of types of crabs dishes and great quality of food and great service from staff. Nice embience of restaurant and near to public transport.
We really enjoyed Momma Kong's. We were a group of 7 and the service staff was very attentive and good with making menu suggestions for our group size. The food was really delicious. My favorite was the black pepper crab. And they topped the evening off by giving us a photo of our group when delivering the bill. Was a really nice touch. Would definitely recommend and return.
Their butter crab and bee hoon soup are what keeps me coming back but everything else is tasty too! The staff are also very attentive, good casual vibe for a casual night out with friends! :D
Great food, great atmosphere, great friendly people. Maybe put a heat rating on the red chilli crab 🦀 - I loved it but my wife found it a bit too spicy.
Superb food as always. The qualit of the crab and the atmosphere are both excellent. Can highly recommend this place - especially if you have visitors who are keen on chilli crab.

Food was excellent, serving size just right. Not sure about those funny buns though. would recommend to a friend and return for another meal sometime

Greate service. My friend was late and I occupied the table for quite long during peak hours ( I'm sorry for that). Despite of that, the employee still treated us nicely without any attitude. The crab was big and delicious. The sourvenir photo given to us when we finish was a pleasant surprise as well.

Awesome food, friendly staff! Worth the price And totally recommended if you are after a local delicacy of crab. Place is rather smll hence must book to avoid disappointment
We came here for the crab. It was a fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Singapore. We had the set menu and enjoyed every single mouthful.
The crab bee hoon soup was awesome! delightful and tasty sweet soup, the chill crab sauce was abit spicy though, generally staff were friendly but seems like they were training new staff
Great experience but the crab $15 service to take the crab meat out (de shelled) was not good enough. Every taste had shell in it. Was told it would take 30 minutes and was happy with that. Took 10 to 15 and obviously was hurried. Spoilt what could have been a great meal.
Great experience of Singapore crab meal in Chinatown. The restaurant is cool and clean. We knew what we had to pay thanks to the fixed prices. The waiter took a photo of us at the beginning and gave us the printing with the bill. Really good! I recommend.
Great service and delicious food. Prep with sincerity and wonderful gelato served. Thank you for the wonderful food. Small space but overall great experience for crab feasting.
Fantastic food and great service in a good location. A must do while in Singapore. The chilli crab was delicious. Fresh, tasty and a good price!
I know we were running long for dinner. They rushed us and forgot to serve us the desserts!! I only remembered when I reached home and looked into the receipt!!
Food was fantastic - we ordered the set meal which included the chili crab (lived up to the hype, IMO), cereal crayfish, squid, veggies, and gelato. However, aside from the food, what I'd really like to commend is their service. They were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive to our needs. Will definitely come back!
The Crab noddle soup was great! However, we feel that the chilli crab sauce was a little too watery and there is also not much meat. The butter crayfish was delicious but again there was not much meat and that cost us $33. We also ordered the bbq sting ray and find the over taste was rather bland. Service was great and the turnaround for all the food ordered was pretty fast.
Portion is very little, quantity not as stipulated. Butter crab is very watery and taste like milk. Crabs are small and very stingy with chilli crab and butter crab sauces. Would not go back there again
Momma Kong's is a small and simple restaurant in the middle of Chinatown. It is highly rated for its Chilli Crab. Our family of 4 had the set menu, the crabmeat was really sweet. If you're not used to getting crabmeat out of crabshell, it is a fairly messy & finicky business, especially if the crab has sauce over it. Paper bibs and lots of paper napkins would have been useful. The lobster was nice, I enjoyed the two dishes of greens, the other dishes were interesting! For the amount of food we got, especially seafood, the set menu seems to be very good value and a good way to try a range of local dishes. As visitors from Australia, we found dining at Momma Kong's a novel experience but not the type of meal we would seek out again, crab is too messy!
This was my second time here. Had ordered chilli crab and crab beehoon, fresh and tasty. Cereal crayfish was delicious. Service was good and the restaurant was small but relaxed. Will come back for more..
While in Singapore, we chose this restaurant based on online reviews and were not disappointed. Worth seeking out for chilli crab. Small restaurant, helpful staff, tasty food!
