Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: Bandit's Joint consistently receives high praise for its unique izakaya-inspired dining experience, driven by owner Nico's personal touch and thoughtful curation.
Reviewers highlight the attentive service, where each dish is explained and often paired with recommended alcoholic beverages, creating a 'culinary adventure.' Standout dishes frequently mentioned include the Cream Crab Croquette, Cheesy Tamagoyaki, and the Shima Hokke.
The Tori Paitan and Seafood Laksa are also noted for their surprising depth of flavour without being overly heavy.
We think the emphasis here is on the overall experience, with many guests appreciating the owner's passion and the reasonable pricing for such a bespoke meal.
The limited seating and the need for reservations are frequently cited, suggesting a high demand for this intimate setting.
We'd recommend this for those seeking a unique, guided dining experience with a focus on Japanese-inspired small plates and thoughtful alcohol pairings, rather than a quick meal.
Be sure to book ahead.
