Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: 18 Seafood is a well-regarded zi char spot in Serangoon, known for its Cantonese-style dishes.

We note that while some reviewers find it a bit pricier than typical coffeeshop zi char, the consensus is that the quality and generous portions justify the cost.

Signature items frequently mentioned include the beef cubes, black pepper steak, and hor fun.

The prawn roll and prawn paste chicken also receive positive remarks.

For those interested in their double-boiled soups, such as the chicken dumpling soup, an advance order is often required, and these can be a significant investment, with some priced around $80 for a large sharing portion.

We observe consistent praise for the service, with staff going above and beyond, even assisting customers with carrying food to their cars.

The atmosphere is described as a quiet coffeeshop setting, popular with regulars, and it's common for diners to bring their own alcohol.

Parking can be limited, especially during peak dinner hours.

Verdict: A solid neighbourhood zi char option, particularly for groups looking for quality Cantonese dishes and excellent service, provided you're prepared for a slightly higher price point.

Consider pre-ordering for specific soup items.
