Bai Cebu Lechon

First timers! Sold! We are fans. We went in to buy a couple items.
Tried an empanada sweet and savory. Good!
Pancit - wow one order is a full container. I didn't know it was one size and I ordered a small, haha. It had great flavor!
Now the lechon steals the show. Crunchy skin and amazing flavor! Thank you!!!
We will be back. Love how the Marina Center has some great places to eat at.

Awesome staff !! I found this gem as iwas driving thru town.Very welcoming love the lechon, town. You won't be disappointed

Fresh roasted pork, crispy skin and tasty. It’s sitting in the “Asian Market Plaza”. $26 something for 1.6 lbs, good for two lunch boxes to-go, with a scope of steamed white rice and sauces for the pork.

Family owned small business with SUPER DELICIOUS LECHON in Northern California.
Well worth the drive.
$15 per lb.

Make sure to CALL AHEAD OF TIME because of they sell out by 2PM sometimes.

I recently stopped by again at this place and what a joy it was running into the owner, Jojo, who is enthusiastic and proud of his culinary skills. And rightly so as Cebuanos are regarded as the masters of lechon roasting in the Philippines.

Though these folks do whole hogs for special occasions or order, their main offering on a daily basis is the belly rolls. It's actually a technique I didn't know about, but once I saw it, I was floored and thought it was genius.

After all, the pork belly of the lechon is the cream of the crop, so why not specialize in serving the most sought after cut of the pig? And you're in for a treat because Jojo has his personal spices, a highly kept secret, infused in the meat and I could distinctly taste the unique flavor. It is unmistakably infused, I can't put my finger on it (it's a secret remember?), but I think it's lemongrass among a lot of other things.

But, forget deconstructing it and just go in and enjoy this place. It's reasonably priced, the staff works hard to please its patrons, and above all, it'll make glad you support a mom & pop restaurant.

Filipino food has a tough time showcasing its culinary virtues against a lot of other ethnic cuisines, especially Asian ones, and this place is a good ambassador of the Philippines.

Good luck and I'm confident you'll like it. I wish this enterprise the very best.
