Service staff are a bit dry, no customer interaction. The restaurant dining area is large, but i also feel that the tables are too close to each other. I guess its to maximize customers. We on a weekday lunch time. Ordered the Rico's Spicy Lechon - 1/4 kilo, Chop Suey - the servers recommendation since Kangkong is not available and a Mango Shake. The lechon skin was not crispy at all and on top of that it was too salty. The meat was not juicy and was lacking flavor. The Chop Suey was loaded with vegetables, but the sauce is on the sweet side. Mango Juice was delicious! Overall experience was a failure. I guess my expectations was too high. Or maybe I'll go earlier next time, if there is a next time.

Best Native Chicken! [CEBU CITY Philippines]…read more When it comes to food, Cebu has a lot to offer. From savory lechon (roast pork) to sweet desserts Cebu is a foodie's paradise. But we have been eating some form of lechon since we arrived on New Year's Day so I was getting tired of it LoL! just a little. I ordered grilled chicken instead. Conching's is famous for one thing: their charcoal-grilled native chicken. What is a native chicken? They are more commonly raised in rural areas, cage-free. They are smaller in size than the regular chicken, it's because of their organic diet. Both its size and diet make these native chicken unique and more natural in taste. We ordered two servings and it didn't disappoint. So delicious, salted just right and the skin is crunchy. Setting looks rundown, nothing fancy with long tables and plastic chairs and a grill out front. Very laid back. Live music entertained the diners... young adults with music instruments. I was amused. Filipinos love to sing. LoL!Friendly service. I just didn't like the flies... we had to keep swatting them so they don't go on our food. Review #3349

Not sure what authentic should feel like but this restaurant felt authentic considering I was the only foreigner there... One of the waiters is an interesting one - done up in a lot of make up and apparently very flirtatious and seems like he's a staple of the restaurant per their Facebook page... Anyway the native chicken cooked on these little grills but the chicken themselves are tiny - you probably need about one chicken a person. They have a lot of other grilled and friend foods including various fish - milkfish was the only one I recognized. We also tried the ceviche (local name I don't remember) but extremely good!! You should also try the puso which are the individually packaged rice which are local to cebu.... Very cool place and recommended if visiting,

Fast forward , on May 11 ,2026 on our way to Clark we stopped by Zubuchon to get 1 and half kl. of lechon as our pasalubong to our pamangkins. The lechon was packed separately . One box is 1 kl and another half in the other box . Our total Travel time is 2:00 hrs to get to our destination. Unfortunately , when we asked our pamangkins if they enjoy the lechon and they all said , it's taste different na , malagkit , may laway-laway at amoy panis at lasang panis. In fact, after tasting they all experience stomachache: For 2,345 pesos for just the lechon our moneys gone . It's all go wasted !!! Disgusting!!! We were shocked to hear such unacceptable , unbelievable experience . How could we travel and bring such a good food from Cebu to share to our families if the food is spoiled . To the management : Please address the issue seriously and please promote food proper handling . This can be cause of food cross contamination , food borne illness and food safety and to be safe with all your costumers . People be aware . I don't want anyone will experience the same what we have experience . People , please be mindful and careful . Please execute and comply food proper handling and food safety. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!! I could have put zero star because of my big disappointment.

This Zubuchon is conveniently located right next to Mactan Marina Mall and across from Robinson's Supermarket. The restaurant is spacious, clean and charming with a red and white theme that perfectly matches their logo. They specialize in lechon and this was visibly noticeable in their menu that featured a variety of lechon dishes. From Lechon Kare Kare to Zubuchon Diniguan and Lechon Fried Rice, they had a lechon dish for everyone. We opted to get their famous Zubuchon (490 Philippine pesos) featuring roasted pig with crispy skin and tender meat, along with their Zubuchon pancit (260 Philippine Pesos) and medium rice (85 Philippine Pesos). The Zubuchon was the true star! The skin was perfectly crisp, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. The seasoning was spot on and I particularly enjoyed the hint of lemongrass and aromatic spices. I do wish there had been a bit more crispy skin, but overall I was a fan. Not to be outdone, the Zubuchon pancit was excellent. I enjoyed the long, silky noodles with pieces of Lechon mixed in. This noodle dish paired very well with the Zubuchon. It is easy to see why Anthony Bourdain loved Zubuchon and why so many folks dine here. Visiting Zubuchon was a great introduction to Cebu's famous lechon!
