Mok Jiu Restaurant (莫搞牛肉面), used to be called “Mok Gao Beef / Pork / Seafood Noodles”, is famous in Kulai and is highly recommended by locals. It is probably the “best beef noodles in Johor” as coined by netizens. Used to be located in a secluded corner in Kulai Old Street for over 60 years, Mok Jiu moved to its new shop in Bandar Indahpura, in May 2025, and in close proximity to AEON Mall Kulai.
Mok Jiu continues to serve its delicious dry / soup versions of beef noodle, pork noodle, seafood noodle and soups at the new shop. Both beef and pork noodles are sold before 10am or until finished. After 10am, seafood noodle will be sold.
The signature Beef Noodle (牛肉牛肚粉) comes with soft and tender chunks of beef brisket, lean beef slices and slices of cow’s stomach. The clear broth is surprisingly tasty with beefy flavour — never have I tasted such delightful flavours before. I truly agree that Mok Jiu’s beef noodle is the best in Johor.
Mok Jiu’s dry-tossed Beef Noodle with rice vermicelli is a hot-seller and sold out very fast — only early birds get to eat it. The dry-version uses a specially-concocted sauce that is well-balanced in taste and mixes well with the beefy ingredients and noodle. It is a nice dish indeed.
A bowl of Mixed Beef Soup (牛杂汤), without noodle, comes with similar beefy-tasty broth with pieces of tender beef brisket, crunchy cow tripes and soft tendons. Get a plain noodle dish, dry-tossed or in soup, separately to complete the meal.
The Pork Noodle (猪肉肝粉) comes with tender lean pork on vermicelli and optionally added with some slices of nicely-cooked pig liver. In similar clear broth, the taste is lighter without the beefy flavour of the beef noodle. It is delicious too and the whole bowl is gone before you know it.
The Seafood Noodle (海鲜粿条汤) is served with big and crunchy prawns, slices of lean pork, big fishballs and bitter gourd in clear soup. The soup is lighter in taste yet flavourful for seafood and no bitterness from the bitter gourd. I like this too.
Located in Kulai, Mok Jiu Restaurant is just 40 minutes by bus from JB Sentral. Be early if going for their beef noodles. If the beef noodles are sold out, the pork and seafood noodles are great dishes to go for too.
