    Lechon
    Christine L.

    Short line today and plenty of seating. $22/lb for roast pork belly. The side dishes were good additions. The roast pork were very juicy, and flavorful. The pork skin was the best part. I wish they had some hot sauce to go with everything. The rice was $2 per scoop. They have beer and sodas. This is a very straight forward deli food court style restaurant. Definitely over order on food items because you don't want to have to get back in line again. The staff was all warm and. Friendly.

    I was so excited when Bai Cebu Lechon opened in Roseville! Any time a Filipino restaurant pops up nearby, I have to check it out. I had been hearing how busy they were and that they sometimes sold out of food, so I came with a game plan... arrive early! We showed up around 10:30 a.m. before the lunch crowd rolled in, and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is clean, cute, and has plenty of seating. It looks like they even have a stage for live entertainment, which would make for a fun dining experience. Ordering is cafeteria style (point-point) so you simply choose the dishes you'd like. We ordered the lechon, pancit, squid, a vegetable dish with eggplant and squash, leche flan, and another dessert made with sweet corn. The highlight of the meal was definitely the lechon. The pork was flavorful, and the skin had that crispy crunch every lechon fan hopes for. The leche flan was also good. It was firmer than the homemade versions I'm used to, but it was still a tasty dessert. Unfortunately, the pancit was the biggest disappointment. It was extremely salty...salty enough that everyone at the table kept reaching for their water. We asked if they had calamansi or even lemon to help balance the flavor, but they didn't have either available. I was honestly surprised since calamansi is such a staple with many Filipino dishes. We mentioned the saltiness to the staff because I'm hoping it was just an off day. I've noticed a few other reviewers mention similar experiences, so hopefully it's something they can improve. Overall, I'm still happy to have another Filipino restaurant in Roseville and will definitely give them another try. The lechon alone is worth coming back for, and I'm rooting for them to continue improving because I'd love to see them succeed.

    For reference, Bai Cebu Lechon is located next to the Almond Tree Lounge in Roseville's Harding Plaza. Parking is super easy, barely an inconvenience. We, the Cebuanos are very proud of our lechon Cebu (roasted pig) in the Philippines. BCL doesn't cook the whole animal but instead does a rolled pork belly stuffed with spices then grilled to perfection in a patent pending charcoal oven. This version tastes as good as the Suisun City location. Crispy skin and succulent meat. When in Cebu, we eat our lechon with pusô (hanging rice). Here, in the USA, we settle for plain rice, as logistics and the skill set in creating pusô are both lacking. The other dishes regularly served are the Bam-i (50/50 pancit canton and sotanghon) and Dugo-dugo (pork blood with pork offal & bits). The latter challenges an adventurous palate if you haven't tried it yet. :) They have consigned Filipino pastries like hopia (flaky pastry with filling), maja blanca (coconut pudding) and Chocolate Monster (moist cake with custard filling and thick fudgy frosting). If you had to try one, sample the chocolate cake first as this is a legendary Cebu dessert popularized in the 80's. Food was really good!!! Now I'm craving again. The crew needs more experience to handle the customers more efficiently. Less time waiting is the management's aim and that's the gripe of most reviews. We're very glad our Cebu lechon cravings have been answered. We don't have to drive more than an hour plus now.

    I really only want to give 3.5 stars but I rounded up instead of down. We went to try this new place for lechon. We arrived a few minutes after 10am and there was a line already. It took about 20 minutes for us to place our order and pay. We only ordered the lechon. The price is a bit high at $22/lb. The meat was really juicy but a bit salty as other reviews stated. The piece we got had really crispy skin that we enjoyed but that too was a bit salty. Also be aware that if you pay by credit card there is a 3% service charge added to your total.

    I told myself that I will not visit Bai Lechon - Roseville while they're in their first few days opening because I'm pretty positive that lines will be long and true enough, I was right. But didn't regret my decision of coming. Bai Cebu Lechon- Roseville opened last Thursday, June 18. This Bai Cebu Lechon location is by far the biggest of the 3. This location was designed to have music jamming with a band from 6 - 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Last Friday, we came twice- for lunch and for the show in the evening. The show in the evening has a $15 entrance fee which includes a free drink. It was totally worth it! The complex itself has a huge parking space. The inside of the restaurant was simply decorated with Cebu posters and signages which reminded me of my younger years. They are open Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00am to 3:00pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 6:00 to 10:00 pm with live band on site for a $15 cover charge. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. Me and my friends came in last Friday about 30 minutes before closing time and line is still long. But when you come in on opening days and you know there's going to be really long line, patience is the key. On to the food - for this visit, of course we ordered their renowned Lechon belly ( crispy skin and tender and juicy meat that is seasoned perfectly), dinuguan ( pork blood soup with meat), pancit (by far the best I've ever tasted). As per Bai Lechon, their menu will change daily to give variety of options and avoid having people loose interest due to repetitive menu (make sense). Local businesses thrive by the support of the community so we all need to be patient and fair in reviewing. If you like the food and gave a good description or review of the food then it's not fair rating them 1 or 2 stars just because the line is long and you waited a long time. So please be fair! I definitely and highly recommend Bai Cebu Lechon. June 2026

    I heard about their opening and I was so excited about it because there is a new filipino restaurant here in Roseville. I went Friday since their opening day is Thursday and still long line from outside. Owners are very warm and friendly. Overwhelming support from other nearby cities (Rocklin, Lincoln, Elk Grove) I was in line for about an hour but it's okay I'm so excited to try their lechon belly. So I ordered mango atchara, chorizo, paklay and of course the ever famous lechon belly. Im about to buy their dinuguan but I told myself probably not today beacuse their dinuguan is very soupy. I had a bite of mango atchara and it was okay, their chorizo is okay too not a big fan, paklay is good and their lechon belly is really good not to much of a fat just okay but it's very crispy and delicious. The ambiance inside reminds me back home, friendly people gathered in one place, they also have live bands every Friday and Saturday night that I will try eventually. I will definitely come back for their lechon belly!

    I intended to swing by during their Grand Opening but observed the closing time at 3PM. I managed to swing by on a Saturday around 12:30PM. Ample parking. I arrived to an extremely long line. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend arriving early. That being said, I didn't mind it as I was able to converse with patrons that have been to their other locations - at one point, I believe one of the co-owners came out to mingle with us all and offering water and I believe pan de sal during the wait. Once inside, the establishment was very clean and spacious - Most tables were occupied. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. I observed a lot of us (including myself) were planning to order to go and many ordered large portions which probably was the reason for the long wait time. I admit I was worried they would run out by the time I was able to place the order. I ordered 1 lb of lechon and after some convincing with patrons in line, I also ordered a few chorizo. I was slightly disappointed that they were short on many of the other side orders but it is something I am sure they'll perfect as time goes on. The food was amazing! I generally only have lechon during celebrations, but this was different. Very succulent and flavorful! I regret only ordering 1lb. It's one of those "must return and order more" in the future type of meals. The chorizo was different than what I am accustomed to but in a good way as it had a slightly sweet flavor. Overall, I WILL return in the near future and plan to order in advance for any gatherings I have in the future. Very glad they have a Filipino restaurant representing the City of Roseville. Thank you!

    My coworker recommended this place for lunch and being so close to work I figured why not. I had seen the post on social media and knew there would probably be a wait and there was but they moved through fairly quickly. Staff was helpful to let us know all the different sides they were offering that day. This restaurant is a cafetería style, so walk up and through the line. You can opt for dine in or carry out on this day we did carry out as we had to get back to work but they offer plenty of seating inside.

    Cebuano style rolled Lechon Belly....it's worth it! Must try....
    Eric G.

    The Lechon Belly is by far the most tastefully rolled belly I've tasted in the Sacramento area...service was good but the latina is kinda eh....need a Filipina up front... ambience of the place is perfect for drinking and hanging out and there are live bands but need better ones...

    The queue at this restaurant isn't nearly as long as they make it seem. The reason there is a line every day is not because of overwhelming demand, but because the service is extremely slow and inefficient. During my visit, it took approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to serve only 20-30 customers. The line barely moved, and there appeared to be little sense of urgency from the staff. Long wait times can be understandable when a restaurant is exceptionally busy, but in this case the pace of service was unacceptable. Customers were left standing and waiting for extended periods. The overall experience was frustrating and not worth the amount of time spent waiting. The food is okay. Some of the skin are crispy and some are chewy even though it came from the same roll., No meal is worth standing in line for over an hour and a half due to poor service and inefficient operations. Unless significant improvements are made, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who values their time.

    Another Day Another Cebu Bai Lechon- Wow..Delicious&Tasty. We love it here!!! We went here at lunchtime, and the line is still packed with customers who are craving Cebu Lechon. I was in line around 12:45pm, and I placed my order around 1:13pm. It has been worth the wait to line up for delicious Cebu Lechon. This is worth a meal for lunch. We decided to eat here inside the store instead of going out. It's a really good setting, clean and modern. We highly recommend this place, and we will always come back.

    22$/lb and this is what I get? 1st time coming here to dine in but this is just wrong. It tasted like it was reheated, the skin tastes like burned chicharon. You should do better for your customers.

    If you love pork belly then this is your place!!!! Flavorful and crispy! $22/lb and worth it! Staff extremely friendly and helpful when trying to decide on other items. Beer was cold as a penguin's butt so good we had two Atmosphere open and clean.

    Oriental Market: a Great Local Asian Market in Roseville!…read more This market has always been our go to for filipino ingredients, fish and any asian delicacies or specialty items since they are the only one in our side of town. Parking can be difficult during peak season but most of the time it is ok. Compared to prices in the Philippines, they are overpriced but still consider them to have reasonable pricing in terms of US standard. They mostly have what I needed when craving for Filipino food and delicacies. They have also expanded their products to other asian countries. Staff are mostly welcoming. When you buy fresh fish, you have the option to have it cleaned free of charge (just give tips). Their kitchen has a variety in their menu. My fave back in the days was their BBQ pork belly however they don't serve that now. I also love their fish soup (sinigang na pompano). Basically their food is really good. The selection of produce is impressive, they also have a wide selection of fresh fish and seafood as well as different cuts of meat. In addition, they have a great amount of frozen and canned goods and of course dry goods. It's not only filipinos that patronize them I see a lot of different ethnicity coming in to buy ingredients and their products so that's really good. So if you're looking for an excellent Asian market in our area, look no further than here. July 2026

There is a smaller meat section compared to other Asian supermarkets, but they have the basic beef, pork, and seafood items.

I personally like roaming through the sauces aisles and ice cream section. There is a hot foods area and a bubble tea shop that I didn't get to check out, but they looked good. Some pantry items and produce are on the pricer side, but you're basically paying for the convenience. If you're in the area and don't want to make the drive to KP Market or Seafood City, I highly recommend shopping at Oriental Market.

The lechon, chicken adobo, and pancit really make this place feel extra special and local.

I was hoping to try their kare kare, as it's one of my favorite Filipino dishes but sadly it's only offered on Fridays and Saturdays. We went ahead and ordered a pork adobo ricebowl, tapsilog, lumpia, sago't gulaman, and lechon kawali. Everything we ordered was tasty and came out hot and quick. We particularly liked the flavor and tenderness of the pork adobo and the lumpia was very crispy. I also love that they have a vinegar dispenser on the side for all your sawsawan needs which goes great with the meat dishes. Will definitely be back to try more dishes, especially their kare kare and dessert options.

    Came here with the family for lunch on a weekday. We were seated right away without any issues…read more The place is very big with lots of seating. My sister said it gets very busy at dinner time and the wait time can be over an hour. For lunch, it was quite a good deal. AYCE Hotpot, sushi and BBQ for about $30. If you only choose one of the AYCE options, it is about $25 but seems worth it to get the all 3 combo for $30. It does seem that everybody at the table has to choose the same option. Hot pot - You each get your own individual hot pot. There had a pretty good variety of broth flavors to choose from. There is a menu that you can order the meat from. There were 5 of us and we were told we can order 4 meats to share per round. There is a separate area for to grab a tray/bowl and choose your veggies. All in all, I enjoyed the Tonkatsu broth and like the variety of meats and veggies available. Korean BBQ - A bit different in that you do not order at the table. There is an area with small trays of meat available for you to grab and bring back to your table. Good variety. Pork Jowl was my favorite and it's not as common. The only issue is that if your party doesn't communicate, you some how end up grabbing all of the same items! So discuss amongst yourselves or else it might be an overkill. Didn't try the sushi simply because I had some good quality sushi the night before so no need for buffet style sushi. The staff was VERY friendly and efficient. They came by often to check on us, take away dirty plates and to change the grill. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot.

    i don't usually have high expectations for restaurants that serve such a wide variety of items…read more.. but i was recommended ktown by several people, so i gave it a try. it wasn't very busy when we came on a friday night. the interior was decorated with neon lights, and it was spacious. i thought the seats and table felt a bit sticky, and the rest of the restaurant didn't feel too clean either. we were seated quickly, and service was friendly. our server explained the menu - essentially, the soups and meats for hot pot could be ordered off the menu, and everything else could be grabbed at the bar. there were a lot of options, and i was excited to try everything. i ordered the szechuan mala broth, which i thought was so mediocre. it was pretty spicy but otherwise bland, like there wasn't any real flavor. i usually like to drink my hot pot broth, but i didn't think it was good enough to sip a lot of. the thai tom yum was a better soup, but it still wasn't super flavorful. it tasted like a watered down tom yum - not super tangy. i also typically like to dip my meats in sauce, and ktown offered a sauce bar with all of the basics, including sesame sauce, soy sauce, ponzu, cilantro, garlic, and other things. there were also sauces for kbbq here, like brisket sauce. there was a lot of variety for meat options, but they were all just a lot thicker and tougher than i expected. our server explained that the ones on the menu were really just for hot pot, but we used some of them for kbbq anyway because we wanted more unmarinated meats. most of the meats at the bar were marinated. i would recommend avoiding this with the beef tongue. it was so thick and extremely chewy, although it was better when cooked in the hot pot broth. the beef belly is usually my favorite cut, but it was also chewy. the black angus brisket was okay; it was on the tougher and drier side. the us kobe beef was my favorite cut of beef because it was the least chewy. the pork shoulder and pork belly were also just okay; i liked that the pork belly was a thinner cut. i probably enjoyed it the most. the australian wagyu was just too dry. the new zealand lamb was right there with the beef tongue as the worst cut because again, it was very chewy, even in the hot pot broth... the broth kind of masked the texture of the meats, but it was so bland that i needed a lot of sauce. at the bar, there was a variety of seafood for the hot pot, including clams, mussels, fish, shrimp, and crawfish. they also offered a good selection of vegetables, like enoki mushrooms, peppers, cabbage, spinach, and onions. there were also quail eggs, roe pockets, fish balls, and dumplings, among other things. there were a lot of meats at the bar for kbbq, but they weren't labeled nor set out in any particular pattern. the spicy pork bulgogi was overmarinated, but it was one of my favorites (of the meats on the menu and the ones set out) because the sauce masked the low quality of meat. it was the typical korean spicy pork marinade - not too spicy and slightly sweet. we also tried the bulgogi, and it was also typical - sweet as expected. they set out thicker cuts of pork belly here, which were super heavy and fatty. almost all of the meats were marinated in some kind of sauce. there were some steaks that were just seasoned with salt and pepper, but they were so tough. there were a lot of other appetizers and hot dishes too, although everything looked like it was left out for a while. i saw kimchi, beansprout salads, cold potato salads, cucumbers, seaweed salads, fried dumplings, tempura, and some other things. i tried the wings, which were plain and kind of dry, and the skin wasn't crispy anymore. the japchae was okay, but there wasn't a lot of flavor. there were some mussels that were covered in cheese and a creamy sauce, which made them pretty heavy. the seafood boil was lukewarm, but the seasoning was okay. it was just a little oily. i did enjoy their corn cheese, which we heated up ourselves over the kbbq grill. i liked that it was slightly sweet. on the side of the bar, there was a variety of nigiri, sashimi, and sushi rolls - all poor quality. the salmon nigiri and sashimi weren't tender nor soft, and neither were the tuna or yellowtail. they were kind of mushy and slightly rubbery. the rolls were better, although they were almost all variations of california rolls doused in sauce - most of them had spicy mayo and a sweet glaze. the sauce at least masked the quality of the fish. overall, ktown was a jack of all trades and master of none. while i was impressed by the extensive variety of options, i got full very quickly because the quality of food wasn't the best. if someone ever needed a restaurant with options for everyone, then i might suggest ktown, but i wouldn't really be able to say i liked the hot pot, sushi, or kbbq. since i would rather have tasty food over lots of options, i wouldn't come back.

    Upscale interior, nice place for a date night or celebration. We had reservations and were seated…read moreand served water upon our arrival. Our waitress made wine recommendations, which we tasted and ordered a bottle. We ordered fried rice- needed a bit more seasoning; honey walnut shrimp-delicious; Thai seafood- too spicy for me to enjoy; Orange Chicken- over fried; Singapore Noodles-mildly spicy but just right.

    The atmosphere there is very luxurious and parking is plentiful. I was with a group and they sat us…read morein a private seating area near the regular seating. We could order from the regular menu or their lunch menu. Most of the ladies and one gentleman chose the regular menu but I liked what the lunch menu offered. Soup does not come with the entrees. It is sold separately. I wanted to try their chicken salad and also ordered soup. I was very disappointed in the amount of chicken in their chicken salad as it was very fine shreds mixed in, probably less than a tablespoon if I had to guess. Mostly lettuce and veggies. The soup was good and our server was attentive. My husband ordered Korean barbequed pork over a large bed of thick noodles. In fact, there were much more noodles than meat which was very disappointing, for the price. This place is very upscale, even giving diners large handled paper bags with their restaurant logo printed on them to take home their leftovers or to-go orders. For the uppity price, I'd rather spend our money on better quality, larger amount of ingredients in dishes and more value for our bucks.

    Tried this place after being recommended by a friend…read more It's not in a fancy area of town by any means but if you're looking for authentic and reasonably priced Filipino food like we had a craving for today, you've hit the jackpot! Plenty of parking in the front. The smell of delicious food welcomes you when you walk in. Your mouth will water when you see the 6+ options of ulam ready for you. Peak around and you'll see all of the desserts your heart desires if you're missing home. From Turon to leche flan and Sapin Sapin, our cravings for sure were satisfied! I ordered the 2 entree plate with rice which was less than $15 (insane and unheard of these days!). I got the kare kare and beef steak. Both were delicious and the portions were big enough for both my lunch and dinner! I also had their lumpia sariwa and almost grabbed 10 when I saw it was only $2.99! Definitely grabbing more of these next time! I didn't wander through the aisles in fear of finding even more things to fall in love with but from where I sat, I saw all of the fixings if you're making halo halo and the cooler had all the options of drinks you can imagine - guava juice, coconut, calamansi, they have it! The service was straight to the point and they were busy for lunch. Remember to be kind and remember this place is a small business! Support local!

    They have a good variety of Filipino/Asian products to sell including cooked food for dine in or to…read morego. Their fresh lumpia were awesome. Reminds me of how my mom used to make them. They are in the North Highlands area. Go check them out! Service was good.
