Because the reviews helped me. Here to help you too! Food was good. Above my expectation (from someone that regularly eats in Klang and KL). Had 'wok hey.' Portion generous. Food was prepared promptly! Serving staff were friendly and fast. Place is clean and well kept. Priced very reasonably. Will come back again! Gv them a try.

YAM 918 seems to be a hyperlocal restaurant in Desaru, we saw a number of locals of all races eating in the restaurant on a Friday evening.
We reached around 7pm, but a lot of the popular dishes like lobsters were already sold out by then. Even some of the vegetable dishes were also sold out, which was disappointing.
We ordered a whole fish, which was chosen and steamed fresh, and some other dishes to share. The overall taste is good, no issues with the food. Plating and dish presentation is very ordinary, given its serving mainly locals around the area. Price point is also reasonable, likely because we did not order crab/ lobsters.
Recommended if you are craving Chinese food in Desaru.

The food is tasty, especially their signature fish head or tail curry it is flavorful. The prawn cereal is crispy and delicious. Their seafood is fresh. Those who look for fresh seafood with good prices , I recommend this restaurant. Waiting for the food less than 20 minutes

Salted Egg Chicken
05 May 2023. My loved one saw some posts regarding this place and we visited for the first time. A real one Malaysia restaurant, saw all races here for makan. We ordered fish head curry (small portion), oyster egg and salted egg stir fry the bitter gourd. Taste of the egg and bitter gourd was good. Only thing about the fish head curry cooking style is more sweet dominant. Pricing was reasonable. When we having out meal, suddenly heavy rain poured down. We saw one crabs supplier sent about 10 crabs to the store and the store sell 2 crabs at the price of RM 118.

Curry Fish Head
A hidden gem in Desaru for seafood.
Discovered this place by accident. Their prices are reasonable and their seafood actually taste nice.
Ordered their cereal prawn, and it was nice and big for "Small" size portions. Their oyster omelette was good too and their venison was soft and tender. Our order came up to RM94 and we were satisfied. All of them were small portions but are considered big compare to KL portions.
The aunties that served us were also nice and very helpful. Food service was fast too. Would come when I come to Desaru again.
Nice Chinese food ever.
Mostly its crowded. Tho, the food will be done by the time. You won't tired on waiting for the food.
Had butter milk chicken with omelette, cost RM11.50.
Recommended.

Food is pretty decent.
We ordered the stir fried clams (500g) with ginger and scallions. Turned out pretty nice.
We also had the sambal kangkong. A pity it lacked the Wok hei. Taste was still ok.
We also had the stir fried cabbage with shrimps. That one was good.
We also had 2 portions of their prawn paste chicken. One large and one small. Could have been better with more prawn paste oomph. Otherwise it was crispy for us.
We also had the hotplate bean curd. Pretty good. Lots of eggs and minced meat. Gravy was good too!
For these we paid about RM140.
Quite a good place to go just that you should go early as they don't have so much seating space. Else it will be outdoor seating but this will be an issue if it rains.

This is such a hidden gem in Desaru, definitely the best restaurants around that area. We ate dinner here twice after our surfing session. The price is reasonable, the portion is also very generous. The staffs also quick to take order and the waiting time is not too long. Overall, variety of dishes and the food is very nice. We ordered small portion for all dishes and it’s good enough for 4 people.

We dropped by this restaurant since it is nearby the Desaru Coast resort we were staying at. They have good options for those who are not into seafood (although their signature dish is curry fish head and they have a variety of seafood on the menu). We managed to get some vegetarian style dishes on request. Food was served very quickly and sufficient serving size for the price.

Super yummy and affordable cereal prawns (RM32 for small size as seen in my photo). Good for 4 pax (we also had 3 dishes; 2 meats and 1 veg).
The fragrant chicken (干香鸡) and black pepper venison goes well with rice. Heavier on the seasoning.
Pricing reasonable. Will be back when in desaru.
