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!

I can eat the lechon fat with rice as is by itself all day. The service here is phenomenal. Everything came on fairly quick, and the servers were so nice and thoughtful. Khim was our server and he was great. He recommended great food and even asked if we wanted a photo. The vibe of this place is nice. Everyone's happy and you can't help but have an appetite.

The lively presentation draws people in, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the performance. The thin-sliced pork chops looked as though they should have been the highlight--looked crispy and crunchy like chicharrones. Instead, they were tough and seemed undercooked. Biting into the pork chop skin was like chewing on shoe leather. They were nowhere near the crisp, crunchy texture I expected. The Shanghai lumpia had almost no filling, consisting mostly of a soggy wrapper and oil. The crab cakes served in the shell didn't seem to contain any crab either--just potato and jicama. And the meatballs would be more accurately described as a jicama balls. The rice puso was cold, bland, and dry. At first, I wondered whether that was simply how it was meant to be, but it made the meal even less enjoyable. The chicharron bulaklak was another disappointment. It didn't seem properly prepared and had an unpleasant aftertaste. Overall, it looks like a fun experience, but the meal finished flat. The atmosphere and presentation are entertaining, but the food itself didn't deliver. Not recommended. 2 stars.

You'll find Pork, Chicken, Sausage, and Lumpia, all served crispy and paired with a signature vinegar dipping sauce that cuts right through the richness. The Vibe & Essentials It's a rustic, high-energy spot that can get quite crowded. Timing: It gets busy fast! Aim for off-peak hours to snag a seat without the wait. Hydration: They only serve Mountain Dew. If you aren't looking for a sugar rush, bring your own bottled water. Climate Control: It gets hot and humid. I highly recommend bringing a portable fan and a small towel to stay comfortable. The Verdict Is it a five-star luxury experience? No. Is it a delicious, authentic, and fun time? Absolutely. Despite the heat and the limited drink options, the food and the atmosphere make it a win. We'll definitely be back for another round!
