What Ova McDermott likes about Fan Tan Cafe:
We had lunch here and the 3 course lunch for $17 was delicious. You got a choice of about 20 dishes to choose from. I had the chicken chow mein, spicy vegetable statay and deep fried prawns. Yummy! View all feedback. What Dariana Douglas doesn't like about Fan Tan Cafe:
My wife and I ordered the lunch special. We waited and in all honesty the food looked great! However, the taste was very salty and it was heavy with oil.

No compromise and no willingness to help the customer. Very unfortuna... View all feedback.
