Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: 131 Mookata appears to operate two distinct offerings: a $7 lunch buffet (not mookata) and a mookata buffet, with prices like $19.90 or $26.90 depending on the branch or specific deal.

The $7 lunch buffet, described as a 'catering buffet kind', offers a range of dishes including carbs, protein, soup, and desserts, and is generally seen as good value for its price point.

For the mookata, reviews are mixed.

Some patrons praise the freshness of ingredients like crayfish, prawns, oysters, and even fresh sotong, noting that the $19.90 price is a 'steal'.

However, others express disappointment with ingredient quality, hygiene concerns for hot food, and a lack of variety in side dishes like fruits or mango sticky rice.

The soup base is noted as basic, building flavour from ingredients rather than being heavily seasoned.

While service is generally described as friendly and prompt with refills, the signature sauce could benefit from further development.

We'd recommend this for those seeking an affordable mookata experience, particularly if you manage expectations regarding the sauce and the overall buffet spread.

Best for groups looking for a casual, budget-friendly meal, especially if you can visit during off-peak hours to avoid crowds and potential parking issues.

What customers say

131 Mookata receives mixed but generally positive feedback, particularly for its value-for-money lunch buffet at $7 per person, offering a variety of dishes including 'shark fin soup' and laksa.

The Upper Paya Lebar branch is praised for fresh seafood like crayfish, prawns, oysters, and sotong, with staff promptly refilling gas and kimchi.

However, some customers at the Kelantan branch noted a lack of fruits and mango sticky rice, while others expressed strong dissatisfaction with food quality, unhygienic conditions, and warm fridges, especially for the mookata offerings.
