YTW Maharani Seafood Restaurant Sdn. Bhd. — Restaurant in Johor

I've been a fan of their food ever since my local wife and family introduced me to this place, and I’ve brought many foreign friends here whenever they visit Muar. The new location is definitely a big upgrade—finally, proper parking space! The entrance is welcoming, and the dining hall is spacious enough to consider for birthdays or small wedding celebrations.

However, today’s first visit to this new joint had a mix of impressions. The seafood aquarium display looked poorly stocked—almost like there was nothing to sell. Staff presence was also uncoordinated. A group of waiters and waitresses were gathered near the kitchen rather than standing ready to welcome guests. I happened to witness a senior waiter trying to "train" a new staff member awkwardly—just a few words of instruction without real guidance. It looked unprofessional and uncomfortable.

Despite that, I want to commend a few part-timers who were quick to respond to requests—well done to them! But overall, staff seemed to be chatting among themselves during service, even turning their backs toward diners. One dish was missed, and when we left, not a single staff member—including the cashier or any of the ~15 people gathered at the walkway—acknowledged us or gave a simple goodbye.

I understand many may still be new, but if this branch has been open for over three months, it’s fair to expect more polished service. Better staff training and service etiquette are needed to match the quality of the food and the...

May 2,2022 @ 7:25pm. There is open car park opposite of outlet. Convenient. ✅ Don't understand why people park at road side.

Ordered 4 dish: salted egg fried sotong, o'chien, vege, fish. Total rm75+, which is cheap consider the portion is big.✅

Because we come at this hour, estimate waiting 1 hour. First dish vege come out by 30mins, then the rest come out soon. Not bad la.✅ We went to other place, wait 1 hour but 2 out of 4 come out. So, here is ok.😂

Salted egg fried sotong is recommended.

We sit outside. Noticed all table following SOP.✅

Location wise, is not noisy. Maybe everyone is hungry thus no noise 😜

Yes, waiting time for food need to be improved. O'chien is oily, and only a few piece. Not recommended. They have seafood steamboat, a lot people ordered. If have many mouth, can try.

The waitress is trying...

Food is average compare others stir fry restaurent in Muar. Environment outdoor is bad since no table cover provided. The most unsatisfied part is the service is really unqualified. Waiter don't know how to introduce the menu, the attitude is rushing. Portion of dish for with ordered 3pax for wa tan hor (fried kueh teow ) serve with 2 pac portion. Sequence of dishes served is disorder. Further, the casher is not honest as question on estimating time , 15 mins become 40mins waiting. Finally, this is not a good restaurant that will be recommended for my friends...
