Absolutely loved our meal at Yam 918! Every dish was a hit — the salted egg crab was rich and flavourful, the big white lala was fresh and juicy, the curry fish tail was perfectly spiced, and the prawn paste fried chicken was crispy and addictive Definitely make a reservation because it’s very popular. We were seated in the air-conditioned area, which made dining extra comfortable, and the toilet was clean — big bonus points! Highly recommended and will definitely come back again!

Cozy restaurant with tons of dishes on the menu. The time to read its story on the wall and my food was on the table, amazing. My noodles were very good, and ever so cheap. The staff is very friendly. Recommended for a bite in the relaxed atmosphere of Bandar Penawar.

Had a great meal at Yam918 Seafood Restaurant — fresh seafood, generous portions and very reasonable prices. The curry fish head and chili crab were full of flavor, and the garlic lobster was tender and fresh. Comfortable environment and close to the beach too. Definitely worth visiting in Desaru!
