"We are very proud of our brand, dining experience and the loyal clientele we have established since opening in July this year. British Colonial Co was founded on the principles of providing Brisbane foodies with relaxed, casual dining.

It's not the first time the name of a restaurant in the city of Brisbane has attracted controversy. Uncle Ho, an upmarket Vietnamese restaurant, attracted ire from the local Vietnamese community in April for its explicit reference to North Vietnamese communist leader Ho Chi Minh.
Uncle Ho changed its name to Uncle Bia Hoi, then to Aunty Oh's Bia Hoi, before closing down in July.
