"No corkage. The liempo tastes so good. The place is accessible and you can ride a jeepney (03A) is you are coming from Mabolo area. The staffs are also nice and accommodating. They have also other options aside from liempo and lechon manok. Dig in here."

"We (our team) went here one time to celebrate 3 of our colleague's birthday. The price is a bit higher compared to their contemporary Filipino resto, but overall, the taste of the food are great."

"If two people could finish an entire roasted chicken, then you know how good it is! The restaurant is a chain restaurant that you can find around Cebu. We only got to try out this branch and boy did we love it! I only wish they had it in Malaysia! The flavor of the chicken and the herb like stuffing inside it was truly delicious!! Couldn't say the same for their mix vegetable dish tho. But hey, the star is the chicken and it is a must try!"

"Tasty and affordable. Liempo is a balance of meaty and herby. Not really better than Lechon but still a must try."

Michael John Aggarao 5 month ago

"Staff was very friendly and I found an awesome golf place nearby. I would say the pork is just above average and non-natives might find it a bit too salty but its tolerable for me."
