Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, seating, and ordering before visiting Burnett Lane.

  • Plan for pedestrian access and parking

    Burnett Lane does not offer street parking. Plan to walk in or park at nearby structures such as the Uptown Mall car park.

  • Expect a compact footprint at peak lunch

    Seating is compact with indoor counter space and select outdoor tables; lunch peak times get much busier than dinner.

  • Self-serve setup and noodle customizations

    Chopsticks and napkins are self-served, and bun bo hue noodles can be substituted with rice noodles for a small surcharge.
