If you are craving for Filipino food, Sydney Cebu Lechon have absolutely fantastic food! Not only they have the best boneless lechon, they also have the best Pinoy pork BBQ on sticks!! ��
I have been ordering these for 5 consecutive years and every time, they deliver the best tasting, tender pork BBQs you can find in Sydney. This has been the family's favourite! Just recently, I have added pancit bihon in my list and goodness my visitors loved it too. Thanks Will for all these incredibly great tasting foods! I will definitely order again!
Best lechon in the country!!!! I've had the pleasure of ordering this beautiful dish. By far the best lechon I've tasted!! . I would recommend the boneless lechon for any occasion! 5 star all the way Sydney Cebu Lechon!! "Can't stop thinking about that taste".
I was really craving sum pork spit roast but didn't have the time and patience to do it myself especially when it would cost $600 and 7hrs of work so i found Sydney Cebu Lechon online. I ordered the 7kg boneless lechon for a party and it was the best decision i made! It was juicy, flavorful and fulfilling. Thank u and will definitely be ordering from you again! All the best
we ordered one on June 3rd for my niece' 18th bday and it was sooo yummmy. the skin was still crunchy even when it's gone cold :) very tasty. thank you so much. highly recommend this company :)
Tastiest lechon I've ever had! No need to add sauce. I highly recommend Sydney Cebu Lechon!!!
The best grill pork ever I have try... So tasty, tender, juicy, crispy skin and oh so yummy yummy! ���You have to try it, I promise, you won't be disappointed!!! �
We ordered for my Dad's 60th birthday and wow...the guests cannot stop raving about how delicious and scrumptious the lechon was - the softness of the meat, the crunchiness of the skin. Highly recommend...order yours today!
The nicest and easiest pork ive ever had. We had a small 2kg amount and it was so tastey. This style of pork is really nice. Perfectly salty, definitely not over the top. Whatever their seasoning is, its awesome! Will try again.
Hands down the best lechon in town and possibly the best that I've had. Nice tender and juicy inside super crispy on the outside!! Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. Highly recommended. Can't wait for our next order. Rafael

The meat was super soft ! ��������������
Absolutely delicious! You don't even need to add any sauce since it's packed with flavour. The meat is nice and tender with crackling cooked to perfection. Highly recommended, especially if you feel like putting some pork in your fork!
A few really interesting Filipino restaurants have popped up in Sydney in the last years and Cebu Lechon is one of them. I've been meaning to get here for ages, so was surprised on arriving that we remembered we'd dined in the same location, years ago, when it was a vegetarian Vietnamese place, one of those places with the mock meats. It's rather changed from that right now specialising in pork and lots of it. I was disappointed, I have to say, in the speciality of the house. It was fine, but the meat wasn't as tender as I thought it might be. However, to compensate, we thought the crispy bicol, crisy deep-fried (I think) pork belly pieces in a rich coconut curry was sensational. My god. It. was. good. Husband found the Pinakbet, the vegetable curry, strange, because of the punch of the shrimp paste; it wasn't my favourite but I thought it was interesting enough. Nice to see them busy on a Friday night in the time of COVID. I wish them all the best.
Hands down my favourite Newtown restaurant for both dining and takeaway. Consistently the best meat I’ve ever had, and their calamansi drink and ube shake are beyond delicious! Service and atmosphere is always super friendly.
With everyone having to get into delivery now, I had a chance to order some cebu lechon and it was worthwhile despite some faults. The pig was definitely overcooked but it was mostly good pig with nice subtle flavours plus some pickly sauces and garlic rice to flesh it out. The serve was fairly substantial but the in-store price seems to be $21.50 and you can get similar at Chinese BBQs for $15 or less.
I am not Filipino but my wife is . This has to be the best Filipino food I have eaten in Australia and even Philippines. Staff are professional and informative. Highly recommended to both Filipino and Aussies wanting to try Pinoy food
Me and my friends dined here on the weekend, we have been looking for a restaurant that sells close to authentic lechon. This by far has topped the list. It is quite expensive for 200g of lechon and booking is recommended it seems like they serve lechon based on how many people book ( as we had added a extra person in a hour before booking time) when we arrived we were seated quite fast and ordered. It is pay at counter first when the waiter had come over he had advised he only had 2 servings of lechon left ( original booking ) which was shared between 3 people. Overall though food was really good !! Only improvement needed is more lechon !
Overpriced but food is as legit as the lechon in the Philippines itself. Could have more options even if I’m aware it’s the restaurant’s specialty. Makes sure to try/request for Mang Thomas if you see this review, a sweet gravy that is eaten well with lechon and loved by locals ✨

Sydney Cebu Lechon originally started as a catering lechon business supplying their famed charcoal roasted suckling pigs to the pork lovers of Sydney. The Mahusay family has been operating since 1991 and a few years ago opened a restaurant in Newtown. We start with Bbq pork skewers ($23.50), fat slices of pork belly glistening from the sweet and sticky glaze.
My parents and I are originally from Cebu so we decided to come here to try it out. We ordered the Cebu lechon, the lechon kawali, pork bbq skewers and the lumpia. Everything was delicious! The service was friendly and very quick. Would go back next time I have a craving for filo food.
Came here on a Sunday and made a booking so didn’t have to wait. Pleasant customer service. The lechon and braso were my favorites. Just hope there was a little more to the menu or specials for the week. But overall experience was good.
Their signature Cebu lechon (charcoal roasted pig) is $18 for 200 grams and it comes with atsara (pickled papaya salad) and some vinegar soy blend sauce. The sauce is just there as an option but to be honest, the pork is already incredibly tasty on its own. The meat is tender, smoky, rich in notes of garlic and other spices, full of umami and very aromatic. The tiles of crisped crackling makes amazing shattering sounds with every bite.
Very tasty Filipino food, but it was surprising to see the desserts outshine the savoury dishes.
Both the lechon and blackboard special of tocino (Filipino bacon) were porky and delicious, but the simplistic presentation - especially the tocino - needs more work.
The ube cheesecake and frozen brazo however didn't need anything more as they were utterly delightful. Sweet, rich, gooey, and creamy, I would be happy to eat both daily!
The only other comment I have is with the service. While friendly and serviceable, I don't understand their practice of bringing out the rice to the table before the dishes. We had to ask for them to reheat the rice because they sat on our table for almost 10 minutes before our first main arrived.
Still, it's great to have a Filipino eatery in Newtown that serves very good food.
Great food and service by an amazing team!! The staff were very informative and helpful and made the experience pleasant. We arrived early around 6pm last Friday and was able to get a table for 4 before it got busy.
Finally it's here! In Newtown!
A must visit if you love filo food, their signature Lechon (Roast pork) is so juicy and tender.
The frozen Brazo Cupcake and the Ube Cheesecake are a must order as well. The ice cream wasn't my favourite since it has some artificial taste to it but overall a good feast.
Shame it opens on weekend only and it has about 20 seats so make sure you either book or come early! Otherwise you will wait for a while!

I have never had such great lechon in Sydney! The pork was juicy and skin was crispy!
The pork wasn't smelly and it was well seasoned! The garlic rice is very buttery so it can get a bit heavy - I still love it. I recommend the original over the spicy lechon - chilli didn't really add much to something that is already so good! Get the veg - goes REALLY well with the lechon!
Pros: 🌟 I love the Lechon in this place. Erickson the guy who has been looking after us during our dining experience was superb! Definitely recommend this place for tasty Lechon in Sydney. And we also love the chicken adobo here, all time favourite.
Cons: 💔Wish there was more options on the menu, it’s very limited. The lechon skin is not super crispy. Also, there are not much drinks available and I find the only filipino drink option (calamansi juice) is almost always sold out or N/A.
Best Cebu Lechon in Sydney! Yes, it is quite salty because authentic cebu lechon is like that. The lechon skin is super crunchy!! Great with their butter garlic rice and atchara. The pinakbet and pork bbq were great too! It is pricey but it is understandable because it is hard to roast a whole pig. I would come back again for sure.
Today my family ate at Sydney Cebu Lechon. We were greeted by the owner and could truly feel an authentic Filipino ambience. We ordered the signature dish which brought memories of growing up in Cebu. For me it's all about the crackle and this place def delivered that crunchy feel. We also tried the pork skewers and kawali chicken thighs which was tasty served with mang tomas. Looking forward to enjoying this experience again.
Recommended to me by Little Otep!! You need to get down to this place to try... lechon is crispy and full of flavour. Owner very engaging originally from the West!! Bbq skewers, mixed vegetable pinakbet simply amazing!! A go to when in Newtown!!!
