My wife and I decided to have a late lunch today at their newest Zubuchon in front of the 7 11. We ordered their lechon and garlic rice which was served warm, not hot but tasty. The lechon served were dissected parts of a lechon to maximize profits! A combination of 30% inedible fat, unless you want to die of... More

Following suggestions by the locals, tried this establishment for lunch. Had the Lechon and the pickled salad. The Lechon was a surprising treat. Tender, well cooked and delicious. Did not really require the vinegar as it was so flavourful. The pickled salad was not too my liking and did not match the Lechon. Service was friendly and efficient Tremendous treat.... More

We had a blast yesterday the skin was good and meat was so tender you can even see the spices - putting it into the vinegar seems an insult a blissful lechon experience. Better than CnT lechon i think🐖🐖🐖

This is not the real Cebu lechon, taste wise: Zubuchon taste like Lechon from Manila, bland and you need Mang Thomas to kick the flavor. Very disappointed with the taste. CNT or Carcar Lechon taste way better. I think the only reason why it got high rating is because of the restaurant lay out. Zubuchon looks clean and classy. But... More

Irresistible taste with a different twist of crispyness very apppropriate with adobong kangkong with chicharon bits on top of it what more can you ask for. Perfect for pasalubong because the packaging is great.

The pork is to die for, so juicy and tender. The beer was good and cold. Service was great too. Pity there were no tables inside, we went to the Cebu IT park area.

Ate here twice, first in 2011 in Mango Branch then 2nd time in Escario. Service is great and food is excellent. Was looking forward to ordering the stuffed squid and crab but alas had a severe allergy attack so back to good ol lechon. Not a fan of lechon but will make an exception for this. Price is also reasonable.

I admire Zubochon's growth in the food industry; kudos to the owners. Eating lechon in a nicely conceptualized restaurant with modern furnishing, cool airconditioning, and good service is too good to be true. In all honesty though, I truly miss the original taste of Cebu lechon. Zubochon lechon meat is just too salty and too much herbs stuffed inside the... More

Ate here several times during our stay in Cebu, the place was really clean air conditioned, friendly staff and the lechon was superb. Can't recommend highly enough.
