Went there 2 out of my 3 night stay in Melbourne. For was superb on both nights but the pork belly was outstanding. Wait staff and manager were all friendly and welcoming. Will recommend to all my Melbourne friends.
We loved the food and the cocktails so much!! Great staff + service . Was one of the yummiest meals I have had in years, high up on my list of favs. Soooo YUM!!!!!!

Got 50% off on 8-Course Set Menu through theFork! Didn't get a chance to visit its well-known sister-restaurant Red Spice Road yet but no doubt it's just as good if not better. The ambience was impeccable especially with this beautiful painting on the wall and service was friendly and prompt.
All the dishes were tasty - full of flavour but not overpowering to the point where ingredients lose their tastes. Shan Tofu, Lamb Shank Curry, and Caramelised Pork Belly stood out out of all. Pork Belly was crispy outside but succulent inside and lamb shank was so soft that it fell apart as I dug my fork into it. Went wonderfully well with rice!
My personal favourite was surprisingly Shan Tofu - never knew tofu could taste like that. It had this distinctive herby starchy flavour which was very addicting. Only thing I didn't like about the set menu was Chai Panna Cotta - not that it tasted bad but just not a fan of its pudding-like texture. Overall, with 50% off deal- definitely worth it!
Comfortable, quiet restaurant with a decent, tasty, asian fusion lunch banquet, good place to catch up or have a work lunch. Had the five spice pork belly and the slow cooked lamb shoulder for mains, would definetely have that again. Finished with the lemongrass (deconstructed) cheesecake - didnt look great but tasted great. Service was good but as expected since we were only one of two tables at the time.

A FAVE FOR ASIAN FEASTING!
This is one of our fave places to go to the city. We love what's on offer on their menu and love the ambience of the place.
We went on the weekend and ordered Shan Tofu, Duck Donut, Smoked Chicken Wings, DIY Salmon Tacos and our usual favourite The Five Spice Pork Belly.
We would normally give a 5, however the pork belly really let us down this time. Whilst the skin was crispy, the pork itself was tough and dry and unfortunately no amount of dressing/sauce made it enjoyable.
Regardless, we still enjoyed our overall meal and visit and would return again.
🥂 boozy brunch is back!
🐮 slow cooked beef brisket
🐽 five spice pork belly
🥭 green mango salad
🍔 wagyu bacon cheeseburger spring rolls
🍷 bottomless drinks
🏚: Burma Lane
📍: Little Collins St, Melbourne
————————————————————
📝: Boozy Brunch is back at Burma Lane! And only for a limited time only. Treat yourself to lunch and unlimited booze for 2 hours as you enjoy delicious Asian dishes from the Linger Lunch Menu every Saturday up until March 14th.
❤️: The drinks include bottomless mimosas, prosecco, white and red wine. You can also opt for the more luxurious option with Louis Roederer champagne, or go non-alcoholic if you’re driving.
The Linger Lunch features dishes like Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger Springrolls, and Five Spice Pork Belly. However, other dishes were really bland and I didn’t really like it as much.
Burma Lane is offering bottomless brunch every Saturday from 12pm-2pm, and of course I had to try it. Unlimited boozy refreshments? I’m in! Choose from mimosa, prosecco, red or white wine, or go all the way with the luxury package that includes Louis Roederer champagne.
As part of the bottomless brunch menu, you’ll get two entrees, two mains and two salads to go with your alcohol-fuelled lunch. The wagyu cheeseburger spring rolls was such a treat to eat – crisped and did indeed oozed the meaty and cheesy taste of a cheeseburger within. The betel leaf with barramundi and chillies acted as a palate cleanser, light and refreshing.
For the mains, we had the beef curry and the famous five spice pork belly. Having had the pork belly at their sister restaurant before, it is just as amazing as I remembered. Sticky, sweet and smoky, with tender chunks of pork belly with crisped skin, this will blow your mind. The salads were a bit light on flavour, and the stars of the meal were definitely the mains.

Came here for their bottomless brunch on Saturday. I was really impressed with the wall arts inside the restaurant. So amazing. The brunch started with beef spring rolls and barramundi betel leaf, both were pretty good! Then we had beef curry, pork belly with rice as main course. They were flavourful! However, we think the salads could be better. They lacked some flavour.
The staff was really nice and attentive!
We were actually looking for somewhere else but gave up and walking back up Little Collins St we came across this place. The menu looked interesting so we walked in. And it was terrific! Interesting food - interesting ambiance - interesting wine/cocktail list. We had a starter each (barramundi betel leaf & scallop), then a couple of entrees (chicken marsala taco & king fish ceviche) to share and finally a larger plate (chicken green curry) - it was all good. I realised that this is a sister restaurant to Red Silk road which is always awesome so great to find another place doing interesting asian food so well.
Lovely restaurant, with a really nice ambience. The food was all delicious- we found the entrees to be our favorite course of the night, especially the spring rolls.
Worth visiting.
Booked Burma Lane for my friends birthday. Didn’t know what to expect as it was our first time trying Burmese Fusion. Staff were super friendly and attentive. We were given great recommendations and suggestions as it was 40+ degrees outside. Every dish was flavourful and delicious. The cocktails were impeccable. We loved the interior and the vibes. I forgot to mention in the booking note that it was my friends birthday but staff overheard me and took their own initiative by surprising us with candles on the Chai Pana Cotta . I would highly recommend and definitely come back to try everything else ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really awesome and delicious food. Service was attentive and friendly too. Value for money. Will definitely come back again
Interesting 8-dish menu with the exception of the turkey spring rolls, presumably an attempt at an Xmas twist, but a failure. Wine recommendation was excellent. Tables too small for the amount of food they serve at once, should have thought that through! Another annoyance was charging us for two bottles of water after replacing one which wasn't empty with a full one we didn't ask for.
Super service and clean flavours. Each dish was unique enough to make it very memorable. I have had better cheeseburger spring rolls but everything was enjoyable
A top quality Modern Australian Asian Fusion food. My top pick is their pork belly! Crispy and delicious through and through. Their biggest let down was their chicken curry which was no different than a street side food store. But hey, still good!
Burma lane is a fantastic modern Melbourne restaurant with food inspiration from around the world. Located in an iconic Melbourne laneway it really is a hidden gem. Food was delicious, priced mid-high end. The five spice pork belly is a real standout. The cocktails are fantastic, we made our way though majority of the list with each being better than the last. Well worth a visit.

Food was delicious and the menu was creative. One of the interesting dishes on the menu was the cheeseburger spring rolls. Other stand out dishes were the chicken wings, beef ribs and the chai pannacotta.
