    Colonel Tan's belongs to the same group as Boney, Cookie, Magic Mountain Saloon and The Toff in Town. Located up in a very long flight of stairs in the famous Chapel St. Serving a variant of affordable Thai traditional and fusion cuisine, very popular among the young and hip crowd. love their food to the max

    I must admit it was certainly a different experience eating instead of dancing at Revolver but I just loved it.

Incidentally, it was also the restaurant that we decided to be the one to end our trip on an extra positive note (best vacation we've had yet)! My partner and I have very different food restrictions/preferences and everything on the menu was perfectly suited for us. I highly recommend the red curry with tofu & vegetables along with any of their white wines! Overall, lovely service and charming atmosphere in one of my favorite cities!

Each dish is bursting with flavour made with real fresh ingredients. The colours, textures and tastes make you feel like you could be in Thailand. One of the best pad Thais I have ever had and I was in Thailand earlier this year. Portion size is huge. Come hungry come with friends. It is truly astounding. Best of all it is extremely well prices. It's almost a little hard to believe that something this good could be so cheap and so plentiful. Great little spot for a quick weekday dinner. The staff are friendly and more than happy to accommodate requests. I've eaten here a few times now and everything has been delicious. The snapper can easily feed 3 people with rice and the Tom khan soup is also exceptional. They also deliver and you can byo. There is really nothing not to love. I will definitely be back again soon.
