I highly recommend Abay's Lechon de Cebu Bar and Grill to everyone. Today has been a very special day for all of us and Abay's Lechon de Cebu Bar and Grill helped us make this day a very memorable one for our mum. We flew all the way from WA and some from USA, and I had booked our event for mum's 79th birthday. Our mum is suffering from Stage 4 cancer and we nearly cancelled the event. I was worried they will get upset if I cancel last minute but even then they were so understanding and all they said was it is OK, and praying for your mum's good health. However, thank goodness mum is a little OK today, after being in bed for days and hardly eating, she made it and we got to celebrate her special day at Abay's Lechon de Cebu Bar and Grill. Miraculously, she even ate some beef bulalo broth, pansit, fried bangus and some rice. We were so happy. The food are delicious and very fresh. They prepared and meticulously presented it with great pride. The presentation matches the taste. We loved it. We brought my nephews who are fussy eaters, yet they ate everything. My western partner enjoyed it too, and all my nieces who are teen agers loved it too (usually they are picky eaters too). I love the fact that they made us feel so at home, serving us and making us all feel so comfortable. Mum was in a wheelchair and my family could be so loud and noisy. But they all made us feel so relaxed and the ambience is so welcoming and the celebration was very special. All the staff are busy and yet they tended to our requests with politeness and kindness. They spoke and greeted my mum happy birthday. Derrick the owner chatted with us. And his wife Liz, although I never met her, she wished mum well, and ensured we were all served with kindness. Best of all, they surprised us with the best Ube cake. I had ordered this but they just gifted this to mum. Such caring couple. It was so light and moist. They really made this day extra special to mum. Thank you Abay's Lechon de Cebu Bar and Grill, Derrick and Liz, to your chef and all the staff, my family wish you well. We will surely come back and bring our friends and families. We need to support local business like Abay's Lechon de Cebu Bar and Grill, not only they served us with delicious meals you'd want to come back to again, but best of all the service given to me and my family was truly heartfelt and inspiring. Such dynamic hard working team! For me, the best authentic Filipino cuisine in Brisbane! A must visit!

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday lunch so it was super busy. We ordered 2x lechon (of course ), balbacua, sinigang na bangus, ngohiong, daing and turon with vanilla ice cream for dessert. These were for a table of 6 people. The waiting time was around an hour for the first batch of food which was my friend's order, so they ate first. When they were nearly done with their food, my order came, which was another 20mins (give or take). Oh, by the way, the dessert came first. Then, after a while, the 3rd batch came, which was for our other friend. The lechon was ok but could be better. I liked the balbacua and ngohiong. For the sinigang, the soup was good, but i prefer the fresh milk fish and is cut as per the picture on the menu and not the halved one that we usually buy frozen. The turon was great but should be served last. Overall experience was ok. I understand that they are just starting and can improve in the future. Things to improve on: 1. Orders of one group should be served at the same time as much as possible. Not by batch, as they would want to start eating at the same time. 2. Some items on the menu are quite expensive for the size of the serving. 3. Don't serve the dessert if the customer hasn't eaten yet. Unless they say so.

A place for your family that you are looking for? Look for Abay’s lechon. Lechon de Cebu is a well known legendary food that has made filipino food become popular. If you really miss home cooked food and are craving the Lechon, missing the fiesta, this is a place you are looking for (THE ABAY’s LECHON DE CEBU) its purely a filipino food. Ngoyong that you miss, balbacua, halo2x, dinugoan, pinakbit, toron and more is in Abay’s Lechon restaurant. Foods are yummy and satisfying. Service is excellent and staff are very friendly, you feel like your at home. This is not only a restaurant but a family friendly restaurant (feels like home).

Travelled so far just to taste their food but unexpectedly the food is no good. Kilawin is soo over priced and the taste was honestly not good, pancit combination I guess that was, was so ordinary nothing special and was not tasty, lechon was not crispy at all chopped so tiny. I should have listened to my friends... Waste of Time... This is only based on our experience and what we had. Kilawin- 1/5 Pancit- 1/5 Lechon-2/5 Dinuguan-3/5 Ngohiong 4/5 Filipino beer- 5/5 nice & cold

I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with my family. Superb customer service , I should say! Always smiling while serving us, and the food was great, too! Since It's my birthday, I got a free slice of yummy ube cake which was so decadent! Thanks, Chef! And a free taste of chicharon, which I reckon is an addition to their food menu. My family and I were really satisfied and had a really lovely dinner! Definitely worth visiting!!!

I’m very happy that there is now a restaurant in Brisbane that serves Cebuano dishes that are missing in existing Filipino restaurants here. This restaurant satisfies my cravings for ngohiong and lechon (two of the dishes i make sure to eat everytime I visit Cebu). Now, I don’t have to wait for the next time I am able to visit Cebu. Other dishes are also worth a try.

I would have rated higher if the lechon they serve remains consistently good. The first time my family ate here the lechon was soft in the inside and has some crispiness on its skin, but the second time we dined here, the lechon meat was dry and hard to chew and the skin is like eating a rubber. All other classic pinoy dishes were good regardless.

Abay’s Lechon is never a bad idea, especially when you’re really craving for authentic Filipino meals. Third time to visit this month with my Australian partner and he still can’t get enough. Sadly, they’re closed today. Will definitely be back soonest
