Once again, another superb meal at Momma Kong’s. Had the butter crab for the first time, and it was superb. I’d still recommend their black pepper over the traditional chilli crab, and the butter crayfish is a must. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Food was great as was the service. We had the set meal for 4. The restaurant was more basic in decor and furniture than I imagined but that was not a problem. The one criticism I do have is that there was a ceiling fan above our table that caused the food to go cold very rapidly which reduced the enjoyment. I would personally prefer a warmer restaurant with food staying hotter longer.

Service was excellent with the friendly staff. The crabs still tasted good, but not as good as the last time I went. Noise level was very very bad, as there was a big group of drinking customers so my friend and I had to shout to each other even though we are just sitting opposite each other. Suggest the restaurant to do something about the acoustics of the indoor space as it really makes dining uncomfortable with the noise level.

Service staff need to be more attentive, Drink was not served until the last dish of what had been ordered was served. The food turned cold quite easily because the air conditioner is too cold to keep food warm

Perfect place to try for the uninitiated but better chili crab can be found, especially if you like a little more kick in your sauce.

Food was average, and certainly nothing to write home about. As for service, it was ho-hum. The bucket for the crab shells was full a few times and we needed to flag some staff over to empty it for us.

Momma Kong’s was a yummy and refreshing crab 🦀 experience for us after going to the chain establishments for years. Receiving a printed photograph of our group at the end of the meal was a nice touch. Thank you!

We had 2 types of crab, chilli crab and crab bee hoon. In my opinion, the bee hoon serving is a bit small. The bee hoon soup is not too salty too and without MSG. The fried mantou is well done, cripsy on outside and soft inside, it really goes well with the chilli crab sauce.

The food was quite good. But service was one of the worst ever have had. Three waiters, who did not want to serve clients. They were eating and drinking behind the bar with phones in their hands. We have to say them that have finished to eat, have ordered a bottle of wine, but never had that on table, and have to ask the dessert, napkins, forks. Never they said sorry, thank you or enjoy... There are so many good restaurants in Singapore, we won't recommend Momma Kong's. That service and their prices are not attractive!

This place is only for tourists. If you really want good value tasty crabs, there are many others in Singapore. Even local coffee shops serve better than here. Instead of crab, I would say "crap".

We have been regular customers for the last 5 years. This time, the steamed crab was terrible, the crab roe was as hard as wood, the crab meat was not sweet and moist and succulent as it used to be. It seemed like the crab was precooked and just heated up before serving. The same with our other crab Crab Bee Hoon. We know how these dishes should be because we've been eating them for the last 5 years. Very disappointing.

It is a zi char café style. Atmosphere is ok but food lack the zi char taste. The chili crab that we had was not that fresh and i can taste some fishiness in the gravy. The steam crab was better and taste fresher. All the rest of the food was just mediocre and for that price, i can get better food elsewhere!

한국인 리뷰가 없는거 같아서 남깁니다. 가격은 여느 칠리크랩집과 마찬가지고 비싼편이고 맛은 좋아요. 저는 만터우 찐거랑 튀긴거 둘다 시켜봤는데 튀긴게 더 맛있어요. 3인이서 갔는데 게 2개 볶음밥하나 만터우 4개 시켜서 배터지게 먹었습니다. 2인이시라면 게 하나 밥 하나 또는 게 하나 만터우 4개 추천합니다. 갈만해요.

Good and quick service! Mantou's were nice as were the veggies. The crabs (Black pepper and Chili) were a bit 'meh'. We've had better elsewhere in SG. This seemed toned down, perhaps to cater to the tourist crowd. fairly expensive as well compared to other restaurants focusing on crab relative to size of dishes, and especially considering flavor.

I booked a table for 2 people for 5.15 pm this evening (thurs) so that we would get the advertised 20% early bird discount. Our bill came to $132 ++ and when I questioned why we weren’t given the discount we were told that the discount only applied to a la carte meals and because we had the 2 person set menu we weren’t eligible. In the Terms and Conditions on your site this is not mentioned. I feel like we’ve been scammed and am extremely disappointed.

The chili crab sauce was a little too watery, and the rest of the side dishes were just mediocre. Crayfish was quite good, but overall the quality doesn’t match the price.
