My always go to Lechon in Cebu as it's located in the mall. Loved how it tastes and it's affordable. A half kilo is enough for 4 pax!
Easily the best lechon I've ever had!! While on vacation in the Philippines we specifically took a side trip to Cebu just for the lechon. Service was outstanding. Prices are also very reasonable. I would highly recommend the spicy lechon and chop suey along with some extra rice. We arrived a little after they opened and we lucked out that it wasn't crowded. CnT is worth a visit no matter what part of the Philippines you're visiting.
Helpful Tip: The best, freshest, crispiest skin lechons can be found at the main branches. This applies to all Lechon Houses. The ones you get from satellite branches like this one are of substandard quality. What we got was a sad plate of cold, day-old lechon. The skin is no longer crispy and the meat is already dry. Even their rice is awful. We went canyoneering at Oslob and we ate better rice there from one of the local bbq stands. Rice should crumble to individual grains and shouldnt stick together like the one I ate here. See picture posted for the depressing CNT Lechon rice I ate. 😢
We already ordered our food from Tokyo Joe but when the lechon arrived we decided to add 1/4 kilo of lechon to add our food and 1/2 of boneless head for take out . For the 1/4 kilo I waited more minutes because the chopper continued to chop and place the lechon in boxes even without customers waiting for it. While my 1/4 kilo order was not entertained and when I look back at our table my family had finish eating our Tokyo Joe food orders. So I decided to cancel my order and took back my money.

Did a comparison between this and House of Lechon and this was not good at all. I arrived at 10:30am (they open at 10am), and there was no more lechon belly. I was shocked and asked the lady and she said there was no more since they sent part of the lechon to Manila already. I settled for the shoulder portion, and the skin also was very soft and not crunchy anymore. The lighting in the pic isn’t great but you can see it. Taste wise kinda flavourless in comparison to House of Lechon. Skip this food court quality food.
